If you’re due for a nice welcome bonus, today is pretty much your last chance to take advantage of one of the 2 TD offers, due to TD’s unique peculiarity. The deals give you either $750 or ≈ $622, but they’re very different. Both are excellent though — among the very best available right now.
Yes, the end date for the deals is June 3, but with TD, you need to be approved by June 3 — whereas with almost every other bank, you just need to apply by June 3. And because the TD approval process has a very unique peculiarity, you should NOT wait if you are interested in any of these 2 deals.
Here are the 2 TD deals and important details.
Overview of the TD increased offers ending
You need to know the important basics about travel rewards and the peculiarity of TD applications (both explained below), but I’ll start with the deals themselves.
Here are the 2 TD deals:
- TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card
- $750 net value
- Points of the more simple type
- It’s one of the best offers for simple points
- It’s not restrictive at all and gives you flexibility
- It can be used for almost any travel expense
- The value of the points doesn’t change
- TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card
- ≈ $622 net value
- Points of the more lucrative type
- It’s one of the best offers for Aeroplan points
- It’s more restrictive and you need to have flexibility
- It can be used for only some flights
- The value of the points can be $6000 too!
TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card
Hundreds and hundreds of Flytrippers readers have already taken advantage of this amazing deal for simple points, so join them now if you haven’t already.
No other card in Canada has ever offered a welcome bonus of over $700 for simple points: it’s one of the best deals ever seen for simple points.
Here’s exactly what you’ll get in terms of rewards:
- $650 off any travel expense through Expedia for TD
- 100,000 TD Rewards points (welcome bonus)
- 30,000 TD Rewards points (earn on min. spend)
- $100 off any $500 hotel booking through Expedia for TD
- TD travel credit (card benefit every calendar year)
Expedia for TD has almost all possible travel options imaginable. You can also use your TD Rewards points on bookings made on other websites, but you get 25% more value if you use them through their platform… so that’s definitely what Flytrippers recommends since it’s so easy.
You actually get 2 travel credits in your first card membership year (2024 and 2025), but we only include 1 to be more conservative with our Flytrippers Valuation!
Best alternative to the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card: If you don’t qualify in terms of minimum income OR want points that are worth more when used on any website, the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card is the best alternative. You’ll get $655 that can be used on any travel expense on any website — or even free groceries without losing any value.
TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card
Aeroplan points are by far the best rewards for those who want to maximize the value they get, and this is currently the highest offer on Aeroplan cards of this level.
You also get a few Air Canada benefits, like free checked bags for you and up to 8 companions on the same booking and even a credit for NEXUS membership.
Here’s exactly what you can get with those rewards:
- ≈ $1260 to UNLIMITED for premium cabin flights
- ≈ $900 to ≈ $1260 for specific economy flights
- ≈ $660 for any flight on Air Canada
The value of Aeroplan points varies greatly depending on how you use them. If you use them well, they’re worth so much more than our conservative Flytrippers Valuation. We have a ton of content coming soon to help you maximize these points. They’re so amazing, as our Flytrippers Valuation of Aeroplan points is literally unlimited!
Aeroplan has very unique rules: You officially cannot get the welcome bonus on this card if you’ve had this card or the American Express Aeroplan Card or the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card. In practice, the rules aren’t always strictly enforced… especially if it’s been a while and especially between Amex and TD.
Best alternative to the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card: If you don’t qualify in terms of minimum income, the American Express Aeroplan Card is the best alternative. You’ll still get the free checked bags. Also, the American Express Cobalt Card has points that are transferable to Aeroplan, and it’s the best overall card in Canada — but it doesn’t offer Air Canada benefits.
Important note about the TD application process
While TD often has some of the best offers and card products in Canada, their application process can definitely be inferior.
It’s important to read the details about the peculiarities of the TD application process.
