BMO partners with Porter Airlines and Mastercard to launch new Travel Rewards Credit Card
BMO is constantly seeking out new ways to help our customers make real financial progress – and that includes making travel more attainable. That’s why we’re partnering with Porter Airlines and Mastercard to accelerate Canadians’ travel rewards journey. Launching to Canadians in spring 2025, a new suite of BMO VIPorter Mastercards will offer travel-minded customers more rewards through the VIPorter program.
This collaboration will provide enhanced travel benefits for cardholders, enabling them to enjoy additional rewards on every step of their journey. The BMO VIPorter Mastercard credit card suite will empower BMO customers and VIPorter members to quickly earn VIPorter points, which can be redeemed for flights through everyday purchases, as well as introduce the redemption of points on Porter’s growing list of global airline partners.
“We are thrilled to work with Porter and Mastercard to offer enhanced benefits that make travel more rewarding and attainable for our customers. Knowing many Canadians look for a credit card that bridges their lifestyle with their financial goals, including travel, we will empower our customers to accelerate their travel rewards journey, helping them make real financial progress and bringing them closer to their next travel destination.”
