BMO Rewards redemption special for any travel bookings

 

BMO Rewards, the proprietary credit card redward program from BMO is known as one of the less flexible programs when it comes to redeeming for travel. The reason behind this is that you are limited to booking travel via BMO Rewards to ensure you get the most value out of your points. BMO does have a Pay with Points feature where you can mimic other proprietary credit card program's book any travel any way you want and redeem points against charge option but with a lot lower value. Now, BMO has launched a limited time promotion where you can use less points with their Pay with Points option when redeeming towards any travel purchase.

December 3 Update: WestJet eyes Spokane service from Calgary & Vancouver plus Accor officially welcomes the Hotel Belmont Vancouver

WestJet is looking to start service to Spokane, Washington from Calgary and Vancouver via their regional arm WestJet Link operated by Pacific Coastal Airlines. Service to Spokane from Calgary has not been seen for a long time now after Air Canada (well Air BC and then Central Mountain Air) served the route in addition to United Airlines who briefly flew the route as well (I actually remember flying the route in the late 80s on United) (Source RoutesOnline)

Scene+, the new combined program of Scotia Rewards and Cineplex SCENE was initially supposed to launch in November but technical difficulties behind the scenes 😁 meant it had to be delayed.

Overnight an email came from SCENE notifying members that they will be 'under construction' from December 4 to 12 in anticipation of launching Scene+ on December 13. 

Frontier Airlines: Elite Status Match from 15 airlines including Air Canada & WestJet plus 15 hotel programs

 
Frontier Airlines has brought back their very wide open status match opportunity that we saw in 2020. The airline has partnered with statusmatch.com to run the match again this year and it’s quite an easy one. The airline will match your status from 15 different airline or 15 different hotel programs. Both Air Canada and WestJet elite status is included. It’s pretty rare for an airline to match a hotel status, I believe WestJet Rewards was one of the first to do so back in 2016 (read about that here) however that required one flight. With Frontier’s offer there is no flight requirement. You simply have to pay a $49 processing fee for your status match and apply by December 21, 2021
