Porter Airlines, BMO and Mastercard are partnering to accelerate Canadians’ travel rewards journey. A new BMO VIPorter Mastercard suite will be available to Canadians in spring 2025. 

Driven by a shared commitment to exceed customer expectations around service and customer loyalty, this collaboration will provide enhanced travel benefits for cardholders, enabling them to enjoy additional rewards at every step of their journey. Porter’s award-winning flying experience is complemented by its Canadian industry-leading approach to airline loyalty that rewards frequent travellers faster, with members earning valuable travel benefits for fewer flights and less annual spend. The new BMO VIPorter Mastercard credit card suite will accelerate the ability to earn VIPorter points and redeem for flights through everyday purchases. By partnering together, BMO and Porter will strategically work together to deliver more programs that will make travel more convenient and rewarding for Canadians. 

“Porter’s elevated economy experience has set the standard for economy travel in North America. With the expansion of our network, we are also building a loyalty program that’s as distinct and value-focused as Porter’s flying experience,” said Kevin Jackson, president, Porter Airlines. “The launch of the BMO VIPorter Mastercard suite is the first of many loyalty enhancements that will create substantial value and recognition for our VIPorter members. BMO and Mastercard are the perfect partners for Porter because each brand is aligned around providing a high level of service and value to our customers.”

“We are thrilled to work with Porter and Mastercard to offer enhanced benefits that make travel more rewarding and attainable for our customers,” said Jennifer Douglas, Head, North American Retail & Small Business Payments, BMO. “Knowing many Canadians look for a credit card that bridges their lifestyle with their financial goals, including travel, we will empower our customers to accelerate their travel rewards journey, helping them make real financial progress and bringing them closer to their next travel destination.”

“Today’s consumer demands new offerings to bring them closer to their passions, including travel,” said Diane Miquelon, Senior Vice President, Financial Institutions, Mastercard, Canada. “We’re proud to partner with Porter and BMO on this new Mastercard credit card suite that offers enhanced travel benefits and provides meaningful value and rewards, while prioritizing trust and security for each transaction.” 

The new card will empower VIPorter members to build points quickly for redemption across Porter’s expanding North American network, as well as introduce the redemption of points on Porter’s growing list of global airline partners.
