Porter Airlines, BMO and Mastercard are launching two new BMO VIPorter Mastercard credit cards – creating the first and only travel credit card program in Canada that grants immediate frequent flyer benefits for cardholders in an airline’s loyalty program, while enabling accelerated travel rewards.
More than 30,000 people have joined the pre-launch waitlist since the program was announced in January 2025 as Canadians seek more choice and benefits from their travel credit cards.
The new BMO VIPorter Mastercard credit card lineup enhances customers’ ability to earn VIPorter points and redeem for flights through everyday purchases, while automatically granting VIPorter Avid Traveller benefits to both the primary cardholder and any secondary cardholders on the account. Card benefits, along with the welcome offer, include waived annual fees for the first year and up to 70,000 VIPorter points – giving cardholders as much as $2,400 of total value in their first year.
Benefits of both cards
