News, Tips & Tricks
It looks like that this October will see the WestJet RBC World MasterCard upgraded
to a World Elite MasterCard, which will bring with additional insurance and travel
benefits including a yearly companion ticket. The annual fee is being bumped
to $99 from $79 but for the extra $20 to get the annual companion ticket
is well worth it! I don't have complete details but this news comes to us from
Rewards Canada reader Bob who emailed me the info and was confirmed
by my RBC contact today.
In the bonus offer section, two promotions to note, first is the new Virgin
Atlantic systemwide bonus which includes their Vancouver route and the return
of Avianca TACA LifeMiles 100% bonus on buying miles. If you are not a LifeMiles
members as of yesterday don't bother but for those of you who are this is a
great promotion that can get you some great reward tickets on Star Alliance
for a relatively good price. Stayed tuned for a separate post on this topic.
