How to read this

A card's travel rate usually covers airline tickets; the WestJet card's higher rate applies only to WestJet purchases, and it is marked. Every rate is multiplied by our conservative value for the points it pays, in Canadian dollars, so a big multiplier in a weak programme can't win on the number alone. Card terms change; check with the issuer before you apply.
