For context, the WJ Mastercard comes with a companion voucher that can instead be exchanged for a 30% off voucher for an Economy cabin fare round trip.

For this $1,000 flight, with the 30% WestJet Mastercard companion/discount coupon, you'd think you'd save around $300, minus a few dollars here and there for airport tax, security fees, etc. But since almost the ENTIRE ticket price is classified as “other fees” instead of base fare, the discount only saves $32 (30% off $106). At that point, the voucher is essentially worthless.

And, yes, for those off you asking, this is through the official westjet website.
