How WestJet Rewards works when you book travel

A few simple steps to make sure your next trip earns, and uses, WestJet Rewards.

  1. Have your WestJet Rewards ID

    Each guest who adds a WestJet Rewards ID earns on their own share of the package price. Members can join at westjet.com/joinsunwing.

  2. Book an eligible Sunwing package

    Regular vacation package bookings for up to 9 guests are eligible. Group bookings and e-packages are not.

  3. Travel and check in with WestJet

    Silver, Gold and Platinum members can use travel-day benefits when checking in with WestJet for their flights.

  4. Collect points or use them

    Earn 1 point per dollar, or use at least 5,000 points toward the package, including taxes and fees.

When WestJet Rewards makes sense

  • WestJet flyers who book Sunwing Vacations packages from Canadian airports
  • Members with Silver, Gold or Platinum status who want travel-day perks on a package
  • Travellers who want to use points to cover taxes and fees on a package

Things to watch out for

  • Earning is on each guest's share of the package price and excludes taxes, fees and charges
  • Group bookings and e-packages are not eligible, and a reservation covers up to 9 guests
  • Status-qualifying spend accrues at only 20% of the share, so packages move you toward status slowly
  • Point values and offers can change, so check the redemption price before you book
