6. a) You will earn 5 BMO Rewards points for every $1 spent on eligible travel purchases, up to $15,000 annually per BMO Rewards collector account (resets January 1st of each calendar year). The 5 BMO Rewards points includes the base earn rate of 1 BMO Rewards point for every $1 spent on card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 4 BMO Rewards points for every $1 spent on eligible travel purchases (“Bonus Rewards”). To earn Bonus Rewards, your purchases must be made at merchants that are classified in the Mastercard network as: airlines, car rental agencies, hotels/resorts, cruise lines, passenger railways, tour operators, timeshares, and travel agencies (“Applicable Merchants”). If you exceed $15,000 in combined annual purchases, you will continue to earn the Base Rewards. You will earn 3 BMO Rewards points for every $1 spent on eligible dining and entertainment purchases, as well as recurring bill payments, up to $10,000 annually for each spend category, per BMO Rewards collector account (resets January 1st of each calendar year). The 3 BMO Rewards points includes the base earn rate of 1 BMO Rewards point for every $1 spent on card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 2 BMO Rewards points for every $1 spent on eligible dining and entertainment purchases and recurring bill payments (“Bonus Rewards”).

Recurring bill payments are defined as payments made on a monthly or regular basis, and which are automatically billed by the merchant to your BMO Ascend World Elite Mastercard. Not all merchants offer recurring payments, and not all ongoing payments will be considered “recurring bill payments” and therefore may not earn Bonus Rewards.

You will not earn the bonus BMO Rewards points on recurring bill payments that are also eligible travel, dining, or entertainment purchases. Some merchants may sell the same or similar products/services as the Applicable Merchants or are separate merchants who are located on the premises of the Applicable Merchants, but are classified by Mastercard in another manner (“Other Merchants”).
