For each available redemption option, here is the value per VIPorter point:

  • ≈ 1.5¢/pt: Any flights in economy class (Porter)
  • ≈ 1.5¢/pt: Specific flights in economy class (partners like Air Transat)

Here is the value of the 106,000 points you’ll have by unlocking the new BMO VIPorter World Elite Mastercard‘s welcome bonus:

Cash back (any bank)

Cash back rewards are objectively the worst that exist if you want to maximize value. They really mostly exist for those who don’t like to travel (believe it or not, there are many such people). If you like to travel, you should stay far away from cash back. Even if you like things to be simple, at least focus on travel rewards of the more simple type.

 

For the only available redemption option, here is the value for all cash back rewards:

  • 1% = 1¢: Cash back as a statement credit
