I'd like to know the answer to this too, as I have a flight tonight out of T1 to the US. I know the vouchers say you cant, however they have a lounge in T1 at Pearson, and WJ only flies out of T3.

A few years ago, I had AirCanada lounge passes that were only supposed to be valid if I booked a flight with aeroplan miles, and they didn't even check my boarding pass.

I'm going to try tonight, and play dumb. I'll have access with priority pass thank to my bmo world elite mc as a plan b.

Got accepted after about 10 business day. I had a flight right before acceptance email and got the Gold status in 5-6 days after the acceptance.

I just had another flight yesterday. I used the Premium Lounge at Toronto T3. I just showed my WestJet boarding pass and got in. They deducted one voucher automatically. I've also checked in 2 luggage for free. The shocking part was happened when I got to the gate. They called my name and upgraded me to Plus which is similar to business class, all the service is same as Business but the seat is smaller. It's 3 seats side by side but the middle one is blocked so you get more room. I remember that someone mentioned here that WestJet doesn't upgrade so I wasn't expecting this. Great experience so far. Thanks to all.

My question is that can I use the Lounge vouchers without a WestJet boarding pass?

Gold status is now showing in my Westjet account - 4 business days after my qualifying flight.

Sorry, I got really side tracked on this one, they wouldn't let me in. I had to use my priority pass passes to get in.

Replying to an old post, but just in case any of you have "expired" Plus upgrade vouchers left, I would suggest keeping them. Westjet let me use them twice in July on two different flights even though they were past the expiry date in June 2017.

Thanks for the info but I don't believe that this status match program came with Plus upgrades. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I have a booking for October and would be thrilled to get an upgrade.

If you got this status match and became Gold for the first time, they sent out Plus upgrade certificates to be used at the Gate when boarding. They were extremely difficult to use as Plus has become so popular, people would pay the $100 when checking in and no seats were left to use these certificates.

WestJet discontinued these because of that reason and others. I still have mine and might try to use them next month I guess if there is any plus seats left!

I got Gold from status match last year and the Plus certificates showed up with the welcome kit in the mail. They also upgraded me to Plus once just for being Gold (no certificate required).

I found the same thing - for having WestJet Gold, I've had three upgrades for no reason.

I really hope they have the same promotion this year...

I hope so too. If they keep the same timing it should start in the next week or so.
