Pros & Cons
Pros
- A no-brainer if you are a frequent WestJet traveler. The first free checked bag, annual companion pass, and status lift benefits alone make up more than the amount paid for the annual fee.
- A very good list of travel insurance in addition to WestJet-specific benefits.
Cons
- Not the best card for rewards accumulation, so it's better if paired with another card that offers higher rewards on non-WestJet purchases.
- Rewards can only be used on WestJet, making them less flexible.
