If you have some occasional purchases for your small business and want to earn some AIR MILES along the way, the BMO AIR MILES No-Fee Business Mastercard may be right for you.

This card will give you AIR MILES on all of your purchases:

  • 1.25 miles for every $20 spent at Shell stations, and
  • 1 mile for every $20 spent on all other purchases.

And as a welcome bonus, you will be given up to 2,000 AIR MILES.

With an AIR MILE worth 12.7 cents for a travel redemption, you’re looking at a welcome bonus worth $254, which is pretty good for just making some purchases on the card.

If you prefer to redeem for cash in-store instead, your bonus is worth $210.

And after that, you’ll be earning valuable AIR MILES on everything you spend for your business. You’ll be able to then use these AIR MILES for valuable travel redemptions, ranging from flights, hotels, car rentals and more.

Or, simply save money instantly with in-store redemptions and save when you shop. The choice is yours.

Plus, with Costco only accepting Mastercard, you’ll be able to collect AIR MILES wherever you shop.

This card also comes with extended warranty and purchase protection. Plus, the Liability waiver program protects your business against employee card abuse.

This is all for no annual fee.

Prefer to earn cash back? Then the BMO CashBack® Business Mastercard®* will give you cash back on all your purchases, also for no annual fee.
