Both reps pointed to the online terms to ensure I read the notes about this. I debated if I should just apply for a new card, instead of converting the existing card, but was soured enough that I didn't bother.

Thanks, but they don't want me. :(


Warning

Sorry, that AIR MILES Collector number is already registered. Only one registration per AIR MILES Collector number is allowed.
I thought this was something new, but I guess I registered ages ago.

At the rewards page I see I've earned 22,305 points. Removing the 20,000 welcome bonus, this means I've earned 2,305 points or in other words over $2000 spent (1 pt per $1).

Now just have to wait for my 2nd statement to generate and I'll see if the final 40,000 points are awarded.

My 2nd statement has generated, and I do not see the additional 40,000 Best Western points. On the plus side, the points from spending were posted to my BW account by the next day.

Ok, will have to wait till the 3rd MBNA BW MC statement now.

I have had this MC account for over 20 years now - not sure how I keep it going because I never use it anymore! It's been almost 2 years since I charged anything on it!

When you transfer to different cards, do you just call in and they give you current promo? Or what do I need to do?
BMO world Elite has FYF & 20,000 rewards points.
I`ve had BMO airmiles card for at least 15 years but I don`t use it anymore as I have totally given up on airmiles. Would be great to switch it!

Yep I've always just called. But I've never had a FYF...but they have awarded bonus points...

When the BMO WE Rewards MC was FYF and 30,000 (2014?), I converted a no-fee BMO Airmiles MC to that product, and they DID give me the FYF, as well as the 30,000, and 4 credits on the Priority Pass.

Fast forward to TODAY...has anyone tried to convert an existing BMO card to either the BMO WE Rewards (20K/FYF) or BMO WE Airmiles (3K/FYF) during the current promos, like, within the past month? Looking for recent reports, not older ones (like mine, above...too old to be significant).

Following on from the original signup bonus, I just received an e-mail - "... Personalize your profile and get 10 Bonus Air Miles"

E-mail was in my junk, glad I caught it. I'll report back if I get the 10.

Only YOU can decide, and I do recommend AMEX still, especially for Aeroplan build-up. So far repeat welcome bonus is still given AFAIK

If you don't want to sign up again for the Amex Personal Plat MR (60K/$699) then the Biz Plat is running at 75K/$399 after $5K spending.

For wife, 15K from the CIBC Aeroplan Infinite card, but to get FYF you need to go in branch, or call for a rep, however no guarantees on the FYF, will help if you're a CIBC client. Else get FYF for this card at a CIBC kiosk agent at YYZ T1 airside. This will require the first statement to cycle before she gets the points, but no minimum spending required.

For the BMO AIR MILES World Elite: https://www.bmo.com/main/personal/cr...te-mastercard/

How do we get the lounge passes and priority pass membership? I received the card recently and didn't see anything in the welcome package about it. I did throw it out quickly though so maybe I missed it? Any way I can still get it?
