The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card is getting a brand-new benefit on April 30: free airport lounge access! It was already a must-have thanks to its incredibly high welcome bonus: $1025 with no annual fee for the 1st year (one of the highest offers ever seen in Canada for simple points). Now, it’s even more of a must-have!
To be very clear: you can take advantage of the record-high TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card offer right now so you don’t miss out (the end date isn’t published, so it could end at any time), and you’ll still get the new lounge benefit starting April 30, 2025.
Here are all the details of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit.
Overview of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit
This infographic summarizes the highlights of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit.
The card gives you free access to a network of individual VIP airport lounges. You’ll get 4 free passes per year of card membership.
It’s pretty straightforward, but I explain all the details in this guide.
Details of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit
Here’s more information on each component.
I repeat that all this is not yet in effect; it starts on April 30, 2025. I’m writing in the present tense from here, so I don’t have to change everything on April 30!
Card — TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit
Here are the basics of the card that has this amazing benefit, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card:
- $1025 with the welcome bonus
- $1025 in rewards
- $0 fee for the 1st year
- Minimum spending requirement for the bonus
- $5,000 in 180 days (6 months)
- Income requirement for the card
- $60,000 (personal)
- OR $100,000 (household)
This increased offer is the highest ever seen on this card.
As mentioned, TD has no public end date for their offers since the early January offer changes. This is the 1st time in years that there is no end date. Unfortunately, this means we don’t know when the increased offer will end, making it a little harder to plan your travel rewards strategy.
It usually lasts at least a few months, but there are no guarantees. However, it’s possible that Flytrippers may get some inside information on when the offer will end. We won’t be able to say, of course, as the end date is not public.
What we will be able to do, as usual, is share lots of content about the deal in a short amount of time and tell you that it’s a really good time to take advantage of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card offer. It will be up to you to read between the lines, as was already the case with offers from several other banks.
Lounge access — TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit
Here’s what’s actually included in this lounge benefit.
Number of passes
The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card gives you 4 free visits per year of card membership.
If you don’t use your 4 free visits and choose to renew your card, you start over at 4 free visits (you can’t rollover unused visits to the next year).
Guesting privileges
The 4 free passes can be used by the cardholder of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card or their accompanying guests.
To be clear, the cardholder must always be present (as with all lounge access benefits).
Please note that children under 2 years of age are almost always admitted into lounges free of charge without counting as a guest, and other children often receive no special treatment and will count as a guest (which makes sense, since they take up a seat just like adults), as with plane tickets.
Policies for children depend on the individual lounge. They are usually listed on the lounge page.
Additional passes
If you need additional lounge passes for you or your guests, the best thing to do is simply to get other cards that have lounge access benefits, so that you can earn other huge welcome bonuses and improve your credit score on top of that.
But if you don’t want to get more rewards or to save money, additional visits are available by paying directly at the lounge.
Once you’ve used your 4 free passes, additional visits are billed at $46 (US$32), which is a little cheaper than if you bought them directly if you didn’t have this benefit — but is still not particularly savvy considering you could instead pay that same amount towards a card’s fee and get a huge welcome bonus rather than paying for no reason!
Conditions of access
There are no restrictions related to:
- Your airline
- Your seat class
- Your method of payment
You have access to the lounges as a cardholder of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card, and it’s quite simple. You don’t need to have a flight with Air France to enter an Air France Lounge that’s included in the network (like the one in Montreal), you never need to have a business-class seat, and you certainly don’t need to have paid for your trip with your TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card or TD Rewards points.
However, as with all airport lounges, you must have a valid same-day boarding pass, access may be limited to a certain number of hours before your flight (except during connections or delayed flights), and your pass is only valid for a visit lasting a certain number of hours.
For the boarding pass, that’s not an issue for most travelers.
For the time before your flight, it’s often limited to 2 or 3 hours before your flight. This means that if you arrive 7 hours before your flight, the lounge may refuse to let you in. This limit doesn’t apply if you have a connection, even if it’s a self-transfer on separate tickets (another good reason to always take a screenshot of your boarding pass to have it after the flight).
For the total length of the visit, some lounges apply the rule that one visit counts as just 2 or 3 hours. So even during a connection, you might have to use another of your passes to stay for 5 hours, for example.
Here too, specific rules may vary by individual lounge. They’re often listed on the lounge page. They’re not always applied either, but often they are.
Lounges included — TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card lounge access benefit
The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card gives you access to the DragonPass network, the 3rd largest in the world. Officially, the name of the network is Visa Airport Companion by DragonPass.
It gives you access to 1200+ lounges worldwide, including 24 lounges in 9 Canadian airports.
DragonPass is a network that sells memberships that are accessible to all travelers. By the way, it would be worth $142 (US$99) if you wanted to buy it if you didn’t have the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card‘s lounge access benefit (and at that price, it only includes 1 visit and you’d have to pay an extra $151 (US$105) for the other 3 visits).
The DragonPass network includes both independent lounges and lounges from certain airlines.
Don’t miss our detailed guide to the DragonPass network soon.
