Our Review

The WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard for Business‡ is an excellent card for entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to earn WestJet points on their business spending and reduce the cost of their travel.

From August 25 to November 30, 2026, the card comes with its richest welcome offer to date: up to 100,000 WestJet points, worth up to $1,000 in travel value. The bonus is awarded in four steps: 45,000 points as a welcome bonus, 20,000 points when you spend $5,000 in the first 3 months, 25,000 points when you spend $15,000 in the first 6 months, and 10,000 points on your account’s first anniversary.

WestJet points can be used to reduce the cost of WestJet flights or WestJet Vacations packages, which can represent up to $1,000 in savings.

The card also offers a favourable earn rate in certain business spending categories, including 3 WestJet points per dollar on telecommunications services, electronic devices and shipping services, as well as 1.5 WestJet points per dollar on all other purchases.

Cardholders also enjoy several benefits when travelling with WestJet, including WestJet Silver status from approval in the first year, priority check-in and boarding, lounge passes, and two free checked bags for the cardholder and up to eight additional guests travelling on the same reservation.

With its highest welcome bonus to date and its travel benefits, the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard for Business is an attractive option for entrepreneurs who want to earn WestJet points and reduce their travel expenses.
