When we consider AIR MILES credit cards, we often think of the Welcome Bonus as the fastest way to earn thousands of AIR MILES Bonus Miles. Like for example, 7,500 Bonus Miles you could get for free with this method.

However, we forget that AIR MILES offers year-round promotions for American Express and BMO credit cardholders. I’ve done the math: in the last 9 months, I’ve earned 1,625 AIR MILES Bonus miles this way!

I don’t count the miles earned with purchases charged to my BMO^® AIR MILES^® World Elite^®* Mastercard^®* here, only the promotions!

Here is a screenshot of my AIR MILES statement (I have removed all lines related to IGA, Shell, or related to my credit card purchases):

For example, you can see:

• 875 Bonus Miles for Bonus Boom offers
• 250 Bonus Miles for the BMO offer during the Shop The Block Event
• 500 Bonus Miles on various BMO offers

And it is much easier to participate in events like Shop the Block (1,200 miles) or Bonus Boom (1,000 miles).

If you are an AIR MILES Collector, you MUST have a BMO credit card to earn more AIR MILES Bonus Miles every year! Right now, milesopedia runs two exclusive offers in partnership with BMO:

• 3,000 AIR MILES Bonus Miles and first-year free with the BMO^® AIR MILES^® World Elite^®* Mastercard^®*
• 1,500 AIR MILES Bonus Miles for the no-fee credit card, the BMO^® AIR MILES^® Mastercard^®*
