The “Lead Account” is defined as a Canadian dollar Primary Chequing Account or Interest Chequing Account (for existing customers) and is the one you designate to pay any fees required by the Blue Rewards Bank Plan, for example, your monthly Plan fees and transaction fees. Any debit card purchases on any additional accounts under the Blue Rewards Bank Plan, are not eligible for Points. BMO cannot guarantee that any merchant operating in whole or in part as a grocery store, wholesale club, gas station or EV charging station is classified by MCC 5411, MCC 5300, MCC 5541, MCC 5542, or MCC 5552 and in no event will BMO be liable or responsible for any claims with respect to a purchase made at a merchant that is not classified by MCC 5411, MCC 5300, MCC 5541, MCC 5542, or MCC 5552. Points will be credited to your Blue Rewards Member Number within 90 days after the end of the applicable statement period. The number of Points awarded will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Fractions of Points will not be awarded.
