The nice thing about the BMO World AM MC is that you also get a 25% discount off redemptions in addition to the 2000 AMs for signing up, so for a family redemption it makes quite a difference. Although I do recall reading that the card was recently "enhanced" so as to make the 25% discount apply only to NA redemptions... obviously a huge hit to any hardcore AM collectors who were planning family trips overseas.
is 25% on top of AM Gold discounts (sometimes 30-40% with WS/AC)?
but yeah, either way, I probably won't redeem AM for flights (which still need $$$ co-pay)
IMO, Air Miles program is worse than Aeroplan/Avios
