Did this myself recently for a flight that wasn't cancelled, but would have been a "trip in vain".

2. Yes, they can redeposit the WestJet Dollars. The deadline is whatever rules apply as part of the waiver, I think 24 hours before the flight. Otherwise I think the normal fee applies between T-24 and T-2.
3. Tax is refundable to Travel Bank, not cash.
4. Seats can be assigned at time of booking for a fee or check-in for no charge (unless you want an upgrade to Business or Premium.
Great! Thanks for the answers to you both.
I may confirm the Summer escape if the flexibility if good and if plans or local restrictions change closer in make changes.
