About BMO AIR MILES® Mastercard®
A BMO AIR MILES® Mastercard® is a no-fee credit card bringing you AIR MILES Cash Rewards for your everyday purchases. Being an affordable credit solution, a BMO AIR MILES® Mastercard® doesn’t feature exclusive privileges from Mastercard or extensive insurance coverage.
Welcome offers for new BMO AIR MILES® Mastercard® applicants can bring you extra AIR MILES® Reward Miles for spending certain amounts within a given period and lowered interest rates on balance transfers for a limited period.

A BMO AIR MILES® Mastercard® credit card provides a 20.99% interest rate on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (21.99% for Quebec residents). Welcome offers for new applicants may provide you with a lowered interest rate on balance transfers for the first several months.
