Porter Airlines, BMO, and Mastercard announced the launch of two new BMO VIPorter Mastercard credit cards, creating the first Canadian travel credit card program to grant immediate frequent flyer benefits. Over 30,000 people joined the pre-launch waitlist since the program's announcement in January 2025. This innovative program enhances customers’ ability to earn VIPorter points and redeem for flights through everyday purchases, while automatically granting VIPorter Avid Traveller benefits to both primary and secondary cardholders. Card benefits include waived annual fees for the first year and up to 70,000 VIPorter points, offering up to $2,400 of total value in the first year. The new cards enable VIPorter members to quickly accumulate points for redemption across Porter's expanding North American network and its growing list of global airline partners. This strategic partnership aims to provide compelling value and rewards for Canadians, expediting their travel rewards journeys.
