According to the agent, they need to be notified by RBC that I have met this condition. In my case, that means I won't be eligible to book a companion ticket until at least December! Who knew?
The agent also advised that the companion fare only applies on WS metal. Not sure what that means (yet) because many WS flights to the US begin with a WS segment & are then code shared (AA, Delta) e.g. YYZ-LGA-PIT. Perhaps Darren can clarify?
The lead-in sentence on the card page on RBC states:
"an annual round-trip companion flight for $99 with your
first purchase"
The full t's & c's available at the same webpage state:
"... please allow
4-6 weeks after the first purchase transaction date for the .. and for the welcome $99 round-trip companion flight voucher (the "Flight Voucher") to appear on your WestJet account"....
The Flight Voucher is valid for travel anytime on all published eligible fares anywhere in Canada and the continental U.S. (excluding Hawaii and Puerto Rico) on flights marketed and
operated by WestJet,"
