There is the West Jet World Elite RBC MasterCard. It has an annual fee though ($99):
$250 West Jet dollars welcome bonus
Annual $99 round trip companion fare (plus taxes, fees and other charges) anywhere in Canada or the continental U.S. (excludes Hawaii and Puerto Rico)
1st checked bag free for the primary card holder
So between you and your wife and accounting for the annual fee, you can knock $300 off the airfare for two people and pay $99 plus taxes etc for two other tickets.
You can collect Advantage (American Airlines) points on West Jet flights.
I thought of that one too...but when how long does it take for the 2-4-1 voucher to become available?
