Questions: We have a flight booked now which we will fly after the cards have been cancelled. Will we still get the free bag or will they know that we no longer have an active cc? (Otherwise will be a reason to hold onto one card).
If we choose to re-apply for the card, has anyone received the $250 welcome bonus a second time?
Thanks!
Hello @OntarioTraveller,
My name is Mandy from WestJet's Social Care team! We appreciate you reaching out with your inquiry, and would be happy to answer your questions. First of all, thank you for being our valued guests and for your continued support.
We can confirm that if the primary cardholder were to cancel their card, all flight benefits (including the first checked bag free) are removed from the former cardholder's profile. Additionally, unused vouchers will also automatically be cancelled on the date your WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard account is closed. WestJet Dollars, on the other hand - will retain their original expiry of a five year validity.
The Welcome Bonus is only a one-time offer, and cannot be issued to the same primary cardholder twice. If you have any other concerns, you can check out
https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/reward...stercard/index or give us a call at 1-888-937-8538.
Hope this information helps!
Regards,
Mandy | Social Care
