Points are earned on BMO credit card purchases and redeemed through BMO’s travel portal or for statement credits. Unlike Aeroplan or Avion, BMO Rewards is a closed programme — there are no transfers to airline partners. What Is BMO Rewards? BMO Rewards is earned exclusively through eligible BMO credit cards. It is a travel portal programme: points have a fixed value in the BMO Rewards travel portal, and that value is what determines their worth.
