WestJet Rewards

WestJet Rewards is the programme for eligible WestJet travel. It now uses points, while tier qualification tracks spend separately; this page explains the distinction before you decide where to credit a flight. This profile separates the balance you can spend from the measures used for elite status.

Before a flight, check the marketing carrier, operating carrier, fare and booking class.
Keep the redeemable balance separate from the status measure listed below.
Before booking, check award availability, fees and change conditions in the programme’s current search.

How flights earn

Earn WestJet points on eligible WestJet-marketed fares and qualifying add-ons. Government taxes are excluded; partner flights use separate rules.

Miles or points to spend

The spendable currency is WestJet points. Since 30 April 2025, points replaced WestJet dollars; each legacy WestJet dollar converts to 100 points.

Elite status qualification

Tier Qualifying Spend is tracked by calendar year and is separate from Milestone Qualifying Spend. Other benefits can use a different spend definition.

Expiry

Points have no fixed expiry while the account stays active. Twenty-four months without earning, redeeming, transferring or converting can make an account inactive; points and vouchers may then expire. Promotional points can have separate terms.
