BMO Blue Rewards Mastercard®* Review
The Bottom Line
The BMO Blue Rewards Mastercard is a solid contender for cardholders who shop frequently at participating Blue Rewards partners. For no annual fee, the card also offers decent point-potential on common purchases like gas and groceries, including unique categories like wholesale and alcohol purchases. Ultimately though, niche budget-conscious customers will get the most value out of this option.
