April 28 Update: BMO Rewards World Elite adding supplementary card fee, Air France celebrates 1 year in YVR, Best Western Rewards contest!

News, Tips & Tricks

Rewards Canada reader Jeff W. alerted us to some negative changes coming to the BMO World Elite MasterCard.
As of June 10th supplementary cards will no longer be free. Each
additional card will cost $50. Ouch! Also if you are inactive with the
card for 12 months they’ll charge you a $10 inactivity fee! Seriously if
you aren’t going to use the card for a year you probably shouldn’t have
it seeing that you have to pay at least $150 for the card! Granted
some may have it just for the insurance or get the card free with one of
the premium BMO accounts and they’ll have to make at least one purchase
every 12 months, not a big deal but still. But back on the card annual
fees, the other cards that BMO competes with either have a $150 annual
fee with no fee for supplementary cards or $120 annual fee and $50 for
the supp. This now makes the card on of the most expensive in the
Infinite/World Elite categories with only Infinite Privilege and some
other high end cards costing more. I’d have to say I am a little disappointed with this move
by BMO! You can find out more about the changes here.
