Sunwing Vacations Joins WestJet Rewards

Travellers who book with Sunwing Vacations are now eligible to earn, redeem and save with WestJet Rewards. The companies announced that, starting today, eligible bookings on Sunwing Vacations will earn WestJet points, plus travel will count towards tier qualifying spend and milestone qualifying spend. Travellers who are top-tier WestJet Rewards members will also be able to use their day-of-travel benefits.  

"Fully integrating Sunwing Vacations into the WestJet Rewards program is an exciting step forward in delivering even greater value for Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast," said Steve McClelland, WestJet Vice-President, Loyalty and Strategic Partnerships. "We're creating more opportunities for members to turn travel and everyday spending into meaningful rewards, helping them get to their next vacation sooner and make the most of their travel experiences."

Sunwing and WestJet shared the following details regarding the program:

• Earn WestJet points - WestJet Rewards members can earn one WestJet point per one Canadian dollar spent on eligible Sunwing Vacations packages. Each guest on the booking that provides a WestJet Rewards ID will earn based on their individual share of the total package price (excluding taxes, fees and charges).
• Earn tier and milestone qualifying spend - Members will also earn tier qualifying spend and milestone qualifying spend on eligible Sunwing packages at a rate of 20 per cent of their individual share of the total package price (excluding taxes, fees and charges).
• Day-of-travel benefits - Silver, Gold and Platinum members travelling on a Sunwing Vacations booking will be able to use their day-of-travel benefits, such as free checked baggage allowance, priority services and more, when checking in with WestJet for their flights.
• Redeem WestJet points - Members can continue to redeem their WestJet points for up to the full cost of an eligible Sunwing Vacations package (including taxes, fees and charges). A minimum redemption of 5,000 points is required. WestJet Rewards members have been able to redeem WestJet points on eligible Sunwing Vacations packages since early 2024.
