BMO Rewards World Elite MasterCard sign up bonus increased to 30,000 points ($300 value)

As we correctly guessed in August, to account for the change in the redemption ratio on the BMO World Elite MasterCard, the sign up bonus has been increased to 30,000 points (or a $300 travel credit value). 

To remind you of the changes on the card the card now offers 2 points per dollar spent and a new redemption ratio of 100 points = $1 in travel credit. Which means this card has moved from 1.9% return to a 2% return. I hope that many of you waited to apply for this card since we posted the info in August as your sign up bonus will only be worth $150 (or $200 if you used the special golf link offering 20,000 points).
