Old 1st checked bag free policy:
Valid for primary cardholders of a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard (“Eligible member”) and up to eight (8) additional guests travelling on the same reservation, provided that the Eligible member’s 9-digit WestJet Rewards ID appears on the reservation at the time of check-in. Offer not valid for companions when travelling on a group booking (10+ guests on the same reservation). Valid on itineraries marketed and wholly operated by WestJet; not valid when travelling with WestJet’s code-share or interline partners. Size and weight of baggage must comply with WestJet’s standard checked baggage allowance. Any piece of baggage exceeding the size or weight allowance is subject to all applicable oversized weight and size restrictions and fees.

New policy:
The Free First Checked Bag benefit is available to the primary cardholders of a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard (“Eligible Primary Cardholders”) and up to eight (8) additional guests travelling on the same reservation, provided that (i) the ticket purchase (original and/or exchange) is paid for with a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard (“Eligible Card”); and (ii) the Eligible Cardholder’s 9-digit WestJet Rewards ID appears on the reservation at the time of check-in. 
 The Free First Checked Bag benefit will apply if a booking is made entirely (or partially, in combination with an Eligible Card) using any of the following (or any combination of the following), as long as the Eligible Primary Cardholder’s WestJet Rewards ID appears on the reservation at the time of check-in: (a) redemption of WestJet points; (b) Travel Bank; or (c) WestJet gift card. “WestJet” or “WestJet Vacations” must appear as the merchant of record for the form of payment. This means that a WestJet flight or a WestJet Vacations package purchased from a travel agency, Visa Checkout or a third-party booking site, may not be eligible for the First Free Checked Bag benefit. 
 The Free First Checked Bag benefit will be cancelled if the account associated with the Eligible Card is closed for any reason. Guests with reservations booked prior to becoming an Eligible Primary Cardholder are eligible for the Free First Checked Bag benefit, as long as the Eligible Primary Cardholder’s WestJet Rewards ID is added to the reservation prior to check-in. 
 The Free First Checked Bag benefit is valid only on itineraries marketed and wholly operated by WestJet. The Free First Checked Bag benefit is not valid (i) for companions when travelling on a group booking (10+ guests on the same reservation); (ii) on WestJet Vacations Quebec or Sunwing Vacations bookings; or (iii) when travelling with WestJet’s codeshare or interline partners.
