Don’t forget the BMO AIR MILES World Elite card is the #1 card when it comes to return on spending at Costco warehouses (If you are not a Rogers/Fido/Shaw customer). Find out more here: Top 5 Mastercards to use at Costco
BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard: Up to 7,000 AIR MILES Bonus Miles
Bonus awarded as follows:
- 3,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,500 within the first 110 days after the account open date
- 3,000 bonus miles when you spend $10,000 within the first 180 days after the account open date
- 2,000 bonus miles when you spend $20,000 within the first 365 days after the account open date
It’s a good bonus – one of the best we have ever seen for this card that’s worth over $700 when used as Cash Miles. But Ouch! Here we have BMO doing what BMO does and requiring some big a$$ spending to get the bonus. TD Aeroplan cards? Require less than this. The ultra premium Platinum Card from American Express? Less than this. The only cards that require more spend are…. BMO’s own Ascend and Eclipse cards!
