WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard & Best Way to Cancel
So reading on other threads, it doesn't seem that RBC is keen on waiving the annual fee on this card.
It also seems that if you cancel the card, you lose any existing Companion Voucher. My wife and I both have cards as primary holders. We had used one certificate for a flight that had been scheduled last Easter but was cancelled so that voucher was returned and now we have two again.
With a fall renewal looming for the annual fee and supposedly two more vouchers popped into our account, the card does not seem worth it. I'm guessing that all we can do is use the existing vouchers for a booking and then once used, cancel the cards to avoid the annual fees. WestJet is no longer the friendly airline it used to be with the recent news about stringent mask-wearing penalties and now a fare increase:
WestJet boosts fees after Nav Canada rate hike, may appeal increase
I'm just wondering what everyone else is doing about the cards. I guess the biggest concern is that if the cards are cancelled and the flights get cancelled on the existing vouchers, then it's correct that those vouchers would be lost?
Just trying to find out some suggested options to save money. Is there any benefit to downgrading the card? Would this be a way to save the companion vouchers?
