How Blue Rewards works when you book travel

A few simple steps to make sure your next trip earns, and uses, Blue Rewards.

  1. Find your member number

    Your Air Miles collector number is now your Blue Rewards member number, and your card and card number stay the same.

  2. Check your Blue Points

    Your Miles converted to Blue Points on June 1, 2026. Check the balance in your account before planning a trip.

  3. Book through Blue Rewards Travel

    Search flights, hotels and packages on the Expedia-powered Blue Rewards Travel site and see what you earn and what points can cover.

  4. Use a Blue Rewards card for more

    BMO clients with a Blue Rewards credit card can earn up to 10x points on travel booked through Blue Rewards Travel, excluding cruises.

When Blue Rewards makes sense

  • Former Air Miles collectors who want to see what their balance covers now
  • BMO cardholders who book through Blue Rewards Travel for the card multiplier
  • Travellers who like one points balance for travel, in-store and gift cards

Things to watch out for

  • The program changed in 2026, and older guides about Cash Miles and Dream Miles are out of date
  • Conversion and redemption details vary by source, so check BMO's own pages for the current rules
  • Partner earning has changed, for example Shell Canada ended on May 25, 2026
  • The best earning needs a BMO Blue Rewards credit card

Common questions about Blue Rewards

What happened to Air Miles?

BMO launched Blue Rewards on June 2, 2026 as the successor to Air Miles. Existing Miles were converted automatically to Blue Points on June 1, 2026 with no loss of value. Cash Miles and Dream Miles were consolidated into a single Blue Points balance. Travel is booked through Blue Rewards Travel, powered by Expedia.

How do Air Miles convert to Blue Points?

BMO says conversion was automatic. A third-party guide reports the rate as 1 Air Miles Mile to 16 Blue Points, and that Cash Miles and Dream Miles merged into one balance. Confirm your balance in your account.

Can I book travel with Blue Points?

Yes, through Blue Rewards Travel, an enhanced travel platform powered by Expedia that launched in March 2026. Points can also be used in store and for eGift cards. Search flights, hotels and packages there and see what you earn and what points can cover. Confirm current terms on BMO's own pages before you book.

How do I earn more on travel?

BMO clients with a Blue Rewards credit card can earn up to 10x the points through Blue Rewards Travel, excluding cruises. Earning at that rate needs a BMO Blue Rewards credit card. Check BMO's own pages for the current rules.

Are old Air Miles guides still right?

Not entirely. Cash Miles and Dream Miles no longer exist as separate balances, and partners such as Shell Canada ended earning and redeeming in 2026. The program changed in 2026, so older guides about Cash Miles and Dream Miles are out of date. Check BMO's own pages for the current rules.

Does TripRadr run Blue Rewards?

No. TripRadr compares vacation package prices and is not part of BMO or Blue Rewards. You earn and redeem points on Blue Rewards Travel when you book there.
