BMOst of Summer Financial Tip of the Day: Get more out of your travel rewards program this summer.

According to a recent BMO Bank of Montreal survey the majority (85 per cent) of Canadians said they spend a lot of time looking for deals to pay for their vacations. This summer, make use of a flexible loyalty rewards program that lets you redeem reward currency for flights, cruises and other package holidays, train travel, hotel stays, passes to local attractions, and even instant savings on your fuel purchases.

"For Canadians who have been bitten by the summer travel bug, focusing on affordability continues to be top-of-mind," said Nick Mastromarco, Director, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Consider using your loyalty rewards to upgrade your travel experience or to help offset summer travel costs."

Mr. Mastromarco added that if you don't have enough points to redeem for your trip, BMO Rewards allow you to use what you have and then "top-up" with cash - for any amount.

BMO offers a number of products and services that can help Canadians get more out of every dollar they spend this summer. For more details on how to make the ' BMOst of Summer,' drop by a BMO branch or visit www.bmo.com .
