Amex AIR MILES Platinum Card Increases Fee + Earn Rates | Is BMO AIR MILES World Elite Better?
Channel: A Dawn
Date: 2019-09-29

The American Express AIR MILES Platinum Card recently announced that its earn rates and annual fees are increasing starting Nov 4, 2019. 

Let’s look at these new changes Amex Platinum AIR MILES credit card will have:

- Annual Fee increases to $120 | Old annual fee $65
- Earn rates will be 1 Mile for every $5 in Card purchases on eligible food & drinks (such as eligible restaurants, coffee shops, stand-alone grocery stores), eligible gas & transit (commuter transportation including, ridesharing services and taxis) - Limit $30,000 annually | Old earn rates 1 Mile for every $10 at grocery stores, gas stations, drugstores, and AIR MILES Sponsors
- everything else 1 Mile for every $10 spent | Old rate 1 Mile for every $15 spent
- Bonus miles once per year. 25% refund, up to 750 Miles on eligible travel redemptions through AIR MILES.  

Naturally, you will ask whether these increased rates are worth paying a $120 annual fee and if there is a better AIR MILES credit card.

I will compare American Express AIR MILES Platinum Card and the BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard in this video. 

BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard has the same $120 annual fee, but provides a lot more benefits such as full medical & travel insurance, concierge service, LoungeKey complimentary membership and two annual complimentary passes.

If you only use the 2 free airport lounge passes BMO World Elite provides, it pays off a lot more than the $120 annual fee. ($99US lounge membership + 2 entrances at $32US totalling $215 Cad)

In this video, I will talk about the changes coming to the Amex Platinum AIR MILES card and how does it compare with the BMO AIR MILES World Elite MasterCard.

And differences between Priority Pass and LoungeKey.
