I've still not tried it - as I'm doing a 3-4 card annual product switch (2012/13-BA Visa; 2013/14-Target MC; 2014/15-RBC Avion Visa; 2015/16-WestJet Visa), and I plan to switch back to a BA Visa in late 2016/early 2017 hoping they don't keep much of a 'history' of what cards you've had in your account.
just wondering, do you call in to product switch, like from no fee to West Jet, or go in branch?
the WJ card looks interesting, particularly the companion pass. my parents fly domestic quite a bit so there might be some value there
thanks!
ps: i recall seeing some promos in the past but forgot their frequency or amount of the promo, what do they usually offer, if any?
