So, you paid 40,000 points for a roundtrip, but only using it for one way. Is that correct? You say the return is on WestJet, which I take to mean you paid additional for that since they aren't a partner.

Aren't other airlines 50,000 for an F roundtrip (when you can get the seats)? And don't other airlines charge a booking fee when the trip is so close in?
