Hi everyone, I’ve searched the internet and read through all the fine print on the WestJet website and am still confused about something. We have the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard which would get us the first checked bag free for the primary cardholder and up to 8 additional guests on the same reservation when we use the WestJet Mastercard to purchase our flights.

However, do I still get the free checked bag perk if I book the flight on Expedia (or another third-party site) but pay for the flight with my WestJet Mastercard?

This is what the fine print on the WestJet website says:

†Valid for primary cardholders of the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard and up to eight (8) additional guests travelling on the same reservation; not valid for companions when travelling on a group booking (10+ guests on the same reservation). Eligible member's 9-digit WestJet Rewards ID must be on the reservation at the time of check-in. Valid on itineraries marketed and wholly operated by WestJet; not valid when travelling with WestJet's code-share or interline partners. Size and weight of baggage must comply with WestJet’s standard checked baggage allowance. Any piece of baggage exceeding the size or weight allowance is subject to all applicable oversized weight and size restrictions and fees. More details. May only be used as described and has no monetary or other exchange value.
