We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Via Frequent Flyer Bonuses, WestJet is offering a top-tier status match from ANY type of travel rewards program.  To take part, register by September 23, 2016, send proof of your status, and complete 1 WestJet flight by October 31, 2016.

    So this deal could be worth it if you plan on flying WestJet this fall and have elite status with another program.  Or if you’ve never flown them, and want to give them a try.  Because with WestJet top-tier elite status, you’ll get perks like free checked bags and lounge passes!

    WestJet is a Canadian budget airline with their own rewards program that flies to:

    Right now, they’ll match your top-tier elite status from ANY travel rewards program, if you sign-up and send proof of your status by September 23, 2016.  And take 1 WestJet fly by October 31, 2016.

    This is an interesting promotion because they’ll match your status from ANY type of travel rewards program, including airlines, hotels, gas rewards, or credit cards.  Usually, airlines only match your status from another airline.

    And although the promotion requires “top-tier” status with another program, it could be worth signing-up if you have status that is close to the highest tier.  Because it only takes a few minutes to sign-up and send proof of your status.  Even a screenshot should work!

    What Do You Get With WestJet Gold Status?

    With top-tier status from WestJet, you’ll get:

    Ways to Save Money on WestJet Flights

    You can redeem Barclaycard Arrival miles from the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard to cover the cost of your flight.

    Or, use the Chase Ultimate Rewards points you earn from cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Ink Plus to book WestJet flights through the Chase Travel Portal at 1.25 cents per point.

    Unfortunately, WestJet is NOT part of the Ritz-Carlton Visa Infinite program, because it is a budget airline.  So you will not be able to get the $100 airline credit from the Chase Ritz-Carlton card.

    This is an easy way to earn top-tier elite status if you want to fly with WestJet this fall.  Let me know if you plan to match your status!
