BMO has just released a new set of limited-time offers on a pair of its AIR MILES credit cards, letting you earn up to 3,000 AIR MILES,† worth up to $316 (all figures in CAD).
For this round, the welcome bonuses on the BMO AIR MILES®† World Elite®* Mastercard®* and BMO AIR MILES®† Mastercard®* have increased.
BMO AIR MILES®† World Elite®* Mastercard®*: Up to 3,000 AIR MILES†
The BMO AIR MILES®† World Elite®* Mastercard®* is currently being offered with a welcome bonus of up to 3,000 AIR MILES,† which are valued at $316 when redeemed most ways. This is an increase from the previously offered bonus of up to 2,000 AIR MILES.
To earn the full bonus, you’ll have to meet the following conditions:

Sweetening the deal is a first-year annual fee waiver worth $120,† letting you earn the welcome bonus without an upfront fee payment in the first year.

- 3 AIR MILES per $12 spent at participating AIR MILES Reward Partners†
- 2 AIR MILES per $12 spent on eligible purchases at grocery stores, wholesale clubs, and alcohol retailers†
