There will be no changes for holders of the BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard and BMO AIR MILES Mastercard credit cards. You earn your Miles as usual.

Take advantage of this opportunity to quickly build a substantial balance of miles that, starting in 2026, can be used with complete flexibility thanks to today’s announcement.

What are the Benefits of this Combination for Members?

This is excellent news for members, who will be able to use their Miles as they wish, with a single balance to manage and the ability to combine all their Miles for a larger reward.

The combination of AIR MILES accounts represents a step in the right direction! Stay tuned for official communications in the coming weeks for all the details of this transition.
