I've spoken with a few of these people and had to carefully tell them that their support is valued but in comparison to some of our business guests their travel isn't exactly 'frequent'.
Westjet's frequent flier programme is pretty much a waste of time for "frequent" fliers, too. The benefits and returns are pathetic compared to almost every other programme out there. Westjet gets me from A to B in a reasonably efficient and friendly manner, so I'm not disappointed with them, but I wouldn't call what they offer a frequent flier programme. (And yes, I make more than one or two trips a year.)
