 I went to check out the BMO Rewards site as part of my normal rounds of checking out all the issuers sites for anything new or interesting and it appears BMO Rewards is having technical issues for new flights bookings. Their temporary solution is letting customers they can book the flights themselves with whomever they want and they can take advantage of special promotional rate to redeeming points against the charge however that rate is not as good of rate if you book flights through BMO Rewards.  Here’s the disclaimer right at the top of the BMO Rewards home page:We are currently experiencing a technical issue that is impacting new flight bookings through our BMO Rewards travel website. We continue to work closely with the travel provider to get this resolved. We apologize for this inconvenience. In the meantime, you can book travel any way you like on your BMO credit card and enjoy a promotional rate for your eligible travel purchases using our current Pay with Points travel promotion, redeeming only 175 points for every $1 credit!
