Just when I had hoped BMO was done with making changes to their credit cards they go and make another one! This time it is small but significant change that is happening to the BMO AIR MILES®† World Elite®* MasterCard®*. That change affects the AIR MILES discount flight benefit, the one that offer 15% off AIR MILES flight redemptions in North America.

Air France unveiled a new business class seat that the airline will be adding it to a dozen of their 40+ Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The new fully lie flat seats will provide direct aisle access and have a sliding door for privacy. The planes will also see new Premium Economy and Economy seats installed to bring these cabins up to date. The new seats will be initially available on their New York JFK route this fall and since the 777-300 is sometimes used on their Montreal to Paris CDG route as well so it is possible the new seats could be on this route as well - at least on occasion!

We had another of our readers and also a Facebook follower reach out to us that they are still having issues with Scotia and Scene+. Both of them are experiencing the same issues many of you have reached out to us before - the lack of points posting. JN emailed to tell us she has not seen any points at all post to her account since the switch to Scene+ while and MS messaged us on Facebook with the exact same issue - not one point has posted to his account since December. MS did tell us that Scotia said the points should be reflected on his June statement so let's hope that happens as we've heard many promised dates over the past 6 months from Scotia that have come and gone without a fix. We'd love to hear from more of our readers on your experience with Scotia and Scene+. Let us know in the comments below, on our social channels or email us at info@rewardscanada.ca
