WestJet Launches WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business

WestJet and RBC have officially launched the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business—Canada’s first and only business travel credit card that provides automatic airline status to primary cardholders.

Designed specifically for entrepreneurs and business travellers, the card instantly grants Silver status in the WestJet Rewards program*, providing priority travel benefits and accelerated points earning right out of the gate. This makes it the fastest route to reward accumulation for clients who frequently fly with WestJet.

“Small and medium-sized businesses have supported WestJet from the day we started flying; that’s why we’re proud to introduce a card that not only rewards business spending but also enhances the travel experience from the moment cardholders arrive at the airport,” said Steve McClelland, Vice-President, Loyalty, WestJet.

“With instant Silver status, free checked bags and access to WestJet Biz, this card is thoughtfully designed to help value conscious small and medium sized business owners turn everyday business expenses into meaningful travel rewards with greater flexibility, control and efficiency.”

As RBC’s exclusive business travel Mastercard, the product also includes a robust suite of travel insurance protections, such as trip interruption and cancellation coverage.

Primary cardholders receive automatic Tier One membership in WestJet Biz, an online tool that makes booking and managing corporate travel easier. Designed to give small and medium-sized businesses greater flexibility and control, the program allows members to book through their travel management company, agency or online at WestJetBiz.com.

• Up to six points per dollar spent on WestJet flights and WestJet Vacations packages when combined with Silver status
