April 28 Update: BMO Rewards World Elite adding supplementary card fee, Air France celebrates 1 year in YVR, Best Western Rewards contest!
– RewardsCanada.ca
News, Tips & Tricks Rewards Canada reader Jeff W. alerted us to some negative changes coming to the BMO World Elite MasterCard. As of June 10th supplementary cards will no longer be free. Each additional card will cost $50. Ouch! Also if you are inactive with the card for 12 months they’ll charge you a $10 inactivity fee! Seriously if you aren’t going to use the card for a year you probably shouldn’t have it seeing that you have to pay at least $150 for the card! Granted some may have it just for the insurance or get the card free with one of the premium BMO accounts and they’ll have to make at least one purchase every 12 months, not a big deal but still. But back on the card annual fees, the other cards that BMO competes with either have a $150 annual fee with no fee for supplementary cards or $120 annual fee and $50 for the supp. This now makes the card on of the most expensive in the Infinite/World Elite categories with only Infinite Privilege and some other high end cards costing more…Marriott Rewards: Double Elite Status Credit on all Marriott stays Worldwide starting this June
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here is a great promotion for us Canadians (well anyone outside of the U.S. since they are excluded) Double Elite Nights for all your Marriott stays from June 6th to the end of the year. This is a pretty good deal! While it is well known that Marriott Rewards tends to have slightly weaker elite benefits then some of their competitors it is always good to have them at your disposal. So now instead of 10 nights for Silver status it will only take 5, Gold will now be 25 instead of 50, Platinum is 38 versus the regular 75. Where things get even more interesting is if you have or get yourself the Marriott Rewards Premier Visa card. When approved it provides you with 15 night credit (automatic Silver status) so to reach gold you would need 35 more nights but with this promotion that is cut down to 18 or 30 more for Platinum. Although it states registration opens up on May 3rd I registered successfully for it today. Registration does close on September 9th so as we have always preached, register for it now before you forget…
