Best ways to redeem your BMO Rewards

If you're looking for the best value from your hard-earned BMO points, put them toward travel from any provider, BMO investments, or statement credits.

Skip the merchandise rewards, since your points lose about half of their value.

The best BMO Rewards credit cards

As one of the Big 5 Banks, BMO issues a wide variety of credit cards, but not all of them earn BMO Rewards. Of the BMO credit cards that do, we recommend the BMO eclipse Visa Infinite Card, which earns:

  • 5 BMO Rewards points for every $1 spent on dining ($6,000 per year), groceries ($6,000 per year), gas, and transit*
  • 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases*

Plus, you get a $50 anniversary lifestyle credit to spend as you choose.
