BMO: MCAE will replace Priority Pass feature


One of my friends working in BMO told me some upcoming changes to their credit cards. Starting Aug 8, 2018, Mastercard Airport Experiences (MCAE) provided by LoungeKey will be available to BMO World Elite credit card customers. This program will replace the existing Priority Pass feature. How do you feel about these changes?

Updated on Jun 23, 2018: Just got a direct mail from BMO about this change.

Simplii Financial will issue a new credit card in Oct 2018


Simplii Financial will issue a new credit card in Oct 2018 (12 months after they changed the name). The new credit card will be a no-fee, cashback credit card. No other details for now.

BTW, as you know, if you want to transfer money between your Simplii Saving and Chequing accounts, there is a one-day delay now. Simplii Financial will remove this delay in Oct 2018 as well.

Updated on Oct 23, 2018: The new credit card is called Simplii Financial Cash Back Visa Card. Hope it will be at least better than the Tangerine Money-Back MasterCard...
