A &#8220;qualifying&#8221; flight is any Porter flight made by the member for which the total cost has been paid in full. If the cost of the flight was <strong>paid with VIPorter points, it is not a Qualifying Travel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, if a flight was paid for in dollars and points redemption, only the Dollars value shall be Qualifying Travel.

The points earned depend on your status level and the amount spent (excluding taxes and fees). Flights paid for entirely in points or certificates do not earn points.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What are the different VIPorter Elite Status levels and how do I earn them?&#8221; open=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The levels are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Member ($0-1,999.99 spent\/year)<\/li>\n<li>Passport ($2,000-$2,999.99)<\/li>\n<li>Venture ($3,000-$5,999.99)<\/li>\n<li>Ascent ($6,000-$9,999.99)<\/li>\n<li>First ($10,000 and over)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Elite Status depends on the amount of eligible spending accumulated each calendar year.

If you do not fly with Porter for two consecutive years, your points will automatically expire. If you have a BMO VIPorter credit card, your VIPorter points do not expire.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How can I use my VIPorter points for a reservation?&#8221; open=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Log in to your account on flyporter.com, use the mobile app or contact the Porter call center.

Additional certificates are awarded for each additional $2,000 spent per year. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can I claim missing points retroactively?&#8221; open=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Yes.
