I never figured out why I started getting PreCheck with WS unless it’s somehow connected to Nexus status. It just happened without me doing anything special.
PreCheck is tied to your KTN, aka Known Traveller Number, aka your NEXUS number.
I don't know if it's stored anywhere in their system, as it seems I always need to enter it when checking in (if I booked the flight myself). When flights are booked through my corporate travel agent, my profile with the TA seems to update WestJet's system automatically. I frankly can never figure out what WestJet's system remembers versus what it doesn't. My profile with WS is 100% complete, but I seem to have to re-enter much of the info over and over again when checking in.
But ... zero problem ever with getting PreCheck on my boarding pass.
