Porter - Flights with Points

With the arrival of VIPorter credit cards, it’s easier than ever to get nearly free flights to these new destinations. Read our tutorial on how to book a flight with VIPorter points.

With this offer for the BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard, you’ll earn up to 70,000 VIPorter points and a round-trip companion pass. Moreover, you pay no annual fee for the first year and receive $1,000 in eligible expenses for your VIPorter status.

Here’s how to get your full welcome bonus:

  • 20,000 points after $5,000 in purchases within the first 110 days of account opening
  • 20,000 points, a round-trip companion pass and $1,000 in eligible VIPorter spending after $9,000 in purchases within the first 180 days of account opening.
  • 30,000 points after $18,000 in purchases within the first 365 days of account opening

So, to get the full welcome bonus of 70,000 VIPorter points, you’ll need to spend $18,000 in the first year.

With the BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard, you earn 3 points per dollar at Porter and 2 points per dollar on gas, transportation, grocery, restaurant and hotel purchases. And 1 point per dollar on all other purchases, including Costco.

Also, as a BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard cardholder, your VIPorter points never expire, and you automatically earn VIPorter Venture Avid Traveller Elite Status. And you’ll earn $1 of Avid Traveller Qualifying Spend for every $25 in eligible credit card spend.

You can also earn one round-trip companion pass per year if you spend $50,000 on your BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard during your membership year.

Finally, you are covered by a wide range of insurance policies:
