I just wish you could request no mailings and no card.

Yes, and no. Not quite. You're right, you can't just open a new BMGM account and try to get the promo again...it is a code TIED to your Aeroplan account number...it's Aeroplan that is giving the bonuses, not UPS. So, you will ONLY get the promo points ONCE. Been there, tried that. :rolleyes: :D

However, maybe this is a NEW promo with a new set of bonus codes? So, if you do try to replicate using a new UPS BMGM account, and do it with success, please hurdle your insults at me, so I can try it again! ;)

Regular Infinite, but for Private Banking (aka wealthy people) customers. If you are a Private Banking customer the AF is negligible. ;) This came out before the Privilege level came out, but would not be surprised to see it become a Privilege card.

The wealthy should technically know better to get a card like this with such a high annual fee.

If one were to pay this much, the AMEX platinum is clearly better.

And almost the same perks with a much lower fee can be found with the BMO rewards world elite card.

I hope this card is made of graphite or titanium

Thanks for the link!

Not that exciting for supposedly an elite card.

BMO World Elite MasterCard offer ends March 3.
 
Bank of Montreal World Elite MasterCard's $300 travel offer (First Year Free) expires June 1, 2014.
EDIT: amended from March 3, 2014.

BMO has changed the promo before: Maybe they'll keep these terms after the deadline, maybe they'll change it. But the offer is pretty good right now. Consider applying for the card soon.

I applied for this card back in December.

Note they are typically very slow to mail the card out and additionally for the points to post to your BMO rewards account. Being new in the game, shows for BMO

similar experience to jerryhung

BMO's always sent the cards out to me very fast. I'm not sure if this is b/c im an existing client tho.

i recently applied for the card and got the card very soon after (a week or so). there was some mix-up in the annual fee but its been since corrected with a phone call. 30k points showed up in my online account a few days after my statement date which was only a few days after my application.

so now i've got 30k pts to use towards something, but i havent even charged anything to the card yet :D

Not sure if this is the place to ask but here goes.

There are 3 Amex cards that I am interested in. One that gives 30K Aeroplan points, another that gives 21K Starpoints, and still another that gives 25K MR points. If I applied for all 3 cards is it possible to get 3 cards or would Amex only approve the 1st application and decline the rest?

This forum is primarily for promotional bonus opportunities. In Canada, most of the great promos are credit cards.

Churning cards with American Express is an art and a science. There's lengthy discussions over at Churning cards with Amex.

I'd recommend applying for two cards only. (Others may have an opinion about whether to apply a day apart, or a few months apart.)

All 3 are great cards.
