AIR MILES expands card linked offers to BMO Debit Cards
Card Linked Offers (CLO) continue to be one of the more popular trends for many loyalty programs around the world, of which.AIR MILES was one of the early adopters of it. The CLO program with AIR MILES has been open to any Canadian issued Mastercards and now they have expanded upon their CLO program by opening it up to BMO Debit Cards.
The selection of offers for debit cardholders is not as vast as the offers for Mastercard holders so be sure to check the card linked offers list (look for “All linked cards”) prior to shopping. Also some offers need opt-in so you’ll always want to check the offers page first no matter what!

** This will most likely not be the only expansion of AIR MILES Card Linked Offers – you can learn more in the next episode of the RWRDS Canada Podcast which will be released shortly! **
Get a Radisson Rewards Elite Status match with your Club Avolta Elite Status
Last week we were the only Canadian resource to provide details on the new Club Avolta elite status match opportunity where elite members of Air Canada Aeroplan and WestJet Rewards, plus a whole host of other airline and hotel loyalty programs can request a free status match to the Platinum Elite level in the Club Avolta program.
Now, those Club Avolta Platinum members (you can still sign up for this free status match!) can receive a free status match to VIP Status with Radisson Rewards (this is the highest level in Radisson Rewards)
This is a good match if you are planning to travel outside of the Americas (Radisson Americas is part of Choice Hotels now) and want to avail of some excellent elite status benefits at Radisson Hotels in Europe, Africa, and Asia Pacific.
Now the process to get the match isn’t the simplest – as detailed on Head for Points, it takes a little bit of work. Take the following steps in the Club Avolta app to apply:
- Click on the “Rewards” tab in the Club Avolta app and look for Radisson to start the process
- If you don’t see the Radisson tab switch your home airport in the app to Shopping and go back to the Rewards tab to see if Radisson now shows up
- If it still doesn’t show up, take a screenshot of your Club Avolta status (from the Wallet page) with your name and then email it along with your Radisson Rewards number to loyaltypartnerupgrade@radissonhotels.com
It appears the readers of HfP who have tried this are getting different results in how long they get the upgraded Radisson status for. Some are only receiving it until the end of their current status cycle while others (new members in particular) are getting it until the end of 2025. If you currently have status with Radisson Rewards you may want to wait to match until your status cycle resets so that you can enjoy it for a full year!
