"Canada"s #1 Travel Rewards Card is getting even better" - what a crock
RBC is increasing the annual fee to $119. I was considering cancelling, and now it's a sure thing. I have serious doubts about getting any value from my companion ticket sitting in my account, so it's definitely not worth renewing.
|
Any idea when?
|
The RBC application page says it's effective November 1st. Any additional card will go up to $59/card as well. My boyfriend was on the fence too but now he'll definitely cancel as we have other cards to play with.
I suppose by raising the fee the cost of going to Hawaii ($299) or Europe ($399) wouldn't go down a bit would it? :p :D :D |
Agreed. Canadian credit cards are near worthless, and WestJet dollars were already stingy

Perhaps that is why they are giving the $20 loyalty bonus on Sep 5th.

Where did that come from? I don't recall seeing that mentioned anywhere.

"What a crock"???
Clearly YMMV, but I'm still a big fan of the card. I've made great use of the companion fare benefit -- which has more than paid for the card each year. And for those who fly regularly (but not enough to have Gold status) the free checked bag benefit is great. Personally, I still think the card is a very good value. |

Hi there, we are sorry to hear about your disappointment with the increase of fees. WestJet does not set the fees, those are decided on by the bank and we provide the benefits. You already know about the Companion Voucher, which is a great way to travel! We do not have any black out dates when you use your rewards, and we also allow free checked bags for you (an up to eight others on the same reservation). We do hope we are able to welcome you again in the future. -Maria

I'm not blaming WestJet for the increse - I just wish WestJet could make a deal with a better bank. RBC is pretty much the worst bank in North America when it comes to fees of all sorts.
I'm contemplating switching my Avion, for the Westjet card atm. |
