Not so good news from the folks at BMO. The BMO Rewards World Elite MasterCard is undergoing some more changes! Earlier this year it was the addition of a $50 supplementary card fee (meaning you are looking at $200 per year for a primary and supplementary card) and as of December 1st we’ll see the sign up bonus lowered and the income requirement RAISED! So that gives you three days to grab this card right now if it is on your radar. It does still provide the nice Priority Pass access with 4 free lounge access vouchers (Value of US$207) and pretty decent travel medical insurance and other benefits. That being said this card, which was our #1 Travel Points Card with Annual fee only 2 years ago is really starting to drop down the rankings as we just can’t see it holding on to the #2 position in 2017.
Anyways if you are considering the card and do want it apply for it by November 30th!
