This promo will definitely end August 31, because that's the date that BMO converts to new points system, and doubles everyone's existing points balances. Even if the 20,000 were to continue, 20,000 then is worth much less than 20,000 before the end of August.
I don't 100% guarantee whether BMO will award the 20,000 without some prodding, but the offer's there, on their website. $400 credit on travel, $150 annual fee. Also, the $400 credit is $400 off against a larger purchase, which is a lot easier to use than Capital One's "any purchase up to $XXX" deal.
If you're looking for a good signup bonus, this is hard to beat.
I actually got the 15K card, found out about this bonus, then gave them a call. They added another 5K to my account, and were nice enough to deposit the 15K before the end of the billing period... maybe, and this is all hypothetical, another 15K could be automatically deposited with the bill, and maybe the account could be closed with a fee rebate cheque sent within 30 days of the fee posting, maybe totalling 625$ of free money. Again, this is ALL hypothetical
