BMO: Redeem your points for any travel

To the point Until September 30, 2022, BMO Rewards allows you to redeem your points for any travel purchase charged to your card!

15,000 points = $100 on any travel purchase

BMO Rewards is BMO’s loyalty program. Several BMO credit cards are part of this program:

Usually, the best use of BMO Rewards points is through the BMO Rewards portal to book travel. You can use 15,000 points to get $100 off your trip:

Flights
Hotel booking
Rental cars
Cruises

Except this is when the BMO Rewards portal is working properly. This is not the case at this time.

Until September 30, 2022, BMO is offering you the opportunity to use your BMO Rewards points for any travel purchase made directly with your card. And at the same rate as you would have redeemed your points through the BMO Rewards portal (15,000 points = $100).

All you have to do is book your flight, hotel night or car rental with any travel booking site(Expedia, Booking, Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Autos, Auto Europe, etc.).

Here is an example with a hotel booked through Expedia (with a fully refundable reservation in case of cancellation of the stay).

The expense appears in the Pay with BMO Points option:

Then simply enter the number of points you wish to use. Here, I redeem all my BMO points:

Then a confirmation of the BMO points redemption is displayed indicating that the transaction was successful:

A few days later, a statement credit will appear on your credit card account, corresponding to the redemption of BMO Rewards points for your travel:
