The Rewards Canada review of the BMO AIR MILES Mastercard has been
updated! We haven’t touched it since 2015 so it was in dire need of
getting an update. This is the case with quite a few of our reviews and
we hope to get to updating them all over the next little while. You can check out updated BMO AIR MILES Mastercard Review here.
When we were updating our COVID-19 resource page yesterday the change of ticket offer from Aer Lingus real stood out. Of course like most airlines they are offering vouchers for future travel instead of refunds but what makes theirs different is that they will give you 10% extra on what you paid, so if you booked a flight for C$1000 your voucher will be for C$1,100. And unlike other airlines whose vouchers are valid for 12 to 24 months, Aer Lingus’ is valid for 5 years!
