Rites of Spring #23 West Jet flight credits watch your dates

May 26, 2010 8:48 pm / colin

West Jet partial rant read the fine printAndrea and I had a trip we had to cancel a year ago that was the result of a family illness – that ultimately resulted in the loss of a loved one.

We ended up with a West Jet credit of $1500.

And once things settled down we were planning on taking a short trip south of the border… to San Francisco to visit friends, or Los Angeles… or Portland, Oregon.

Alas, I misread the dates on the credit. I had a year from the date of cancellation – not a year from the flight.

And so I discovered when I called West Jet a week or so after the credit actually ran out.
“Mister Newell, your account shows zero dollars…”
No apology. No “we’re sorry…”
$1500 down the drain.

I would have even humored a “read the fine print you doofus..”

I would like to ask West Jet… where does that money go?
I could have paid $10 to extend it another year.
So why not take $10 of value off of the voucher and leave me with $1490. No, that would not make sense.

Bummer. Thanks West Jet. In the air you are loads of fun.
On the ground you are no fun whatsoever.
Note to self: Always read the fine print… always.
