BMO, the potential suitor for the AIR MILES program has revealed a limited time promotion to earn more miles on their co-brand credit cards for the summer. Holders of any of the BMO AIR MILES Mastercards will earn 5x AIR MILES when using their cards at select AIR MILES partners. For most of these partners it represents an increase of 2 Reward Miles over the ongoing 3x miles for card use at select participating partners.
This 5x promotion starts on June 1 and will run right through to August 31, 2023. Cardholders will automatically earn the extra miles there is no requirement to register or opt-in for it.
The 5x Miles Partners
The partners where cardholders will be able to earn the 5x miles are Shell, Budget, Alamo, National Car Rental, Global Pet Foods and Samsung.
On top of those partners cardholders will also earn 5x miles for purchasing travel via airmiles.ca including flights, hotels and bundled travel (excludes vacation packages, cruises and insurance)

Wrapping it up
If you currently hold or will be getting a BMO AIR MILES cards you can rack up some extra miles this summer with select AIR MILES partners. The participating partners are limited – I imagine most cardholders will be racking up the most miles at Shell as that is really the only everyday partner in the promotion but if you do have some travel plans it can be worthwhile to book those via AIR MILES or their car rental partners to receive the 5x miles.
