30,000 Aeroplan points, $1,000 spend. Enough said.
Note: The promotional offer for this card ends June 02, 2019.
Taking its place as one of the best credit card offerings in Canada right now is the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite credit card. Frankly speaking, the current welcome bonus offers 30,000 Aeroplan miles upon spending $1,000 within the first 3 months, a bonus that is unrivaled by any other First Year Free card in the market. That’s enough for a round-trip flight within North America, with plenty of points to spare. The card comes with a 1.5 mile per dollar earn rate on grocery, gas, drug stores and AirCanada.com purchases, and 1 mile per dollar everywhere else.
Insurance Benefits
The TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite comes with an assortment of travel related benefits including:
- Travel Medical Insurance
- Trip Cancellation/Interruption
- Delayed/Lost Baggage
- Flight Delay
More about these travel insurance benefits can be found here.
Aeroplan Mileage Expiry
If you’re not looking to travel anytime soon, it may also be a good idea to hang on to the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite as it’ll prevent your miles from expiring. Currently, Aeroplan has a 12 month expiry period in which your miles will become voided without any earn/burn activity.
Maple Leaf Lounge
The card also offers a one-time entry into Pearson’s Maple Leaf Lounge when travelling on an Aeroplan award flight. This may see limited value for those who are also carrying credit cards that grant them access into the Priority Pass collection.
Thoughts on the Card
With the acquisition of Aeroplan by Air Canada, TD looks to be taking stride in re-positioning this card as one of its main travel credit cards. Despite the higher flexibility of booking by TD’s sister card — The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite, the Aeroplan program shines due to its immense value in redeeming fixed mileage flights and ease of access due to its various transfer partners (American Express, SPG-Marriott, etc). This card is a simple, hassle-free way of obtaining at least 30,000 Aeroplan Miles for your next trip!
Here’s a summary of what this card has to offer:
- First Year Free ($120 annual fee)
- 30,000 bonus Aeroplan miles after $1,000 spend in first three months
- 1.5 Aeroplan miles per dollar spent on gas, groceries, drug stores and AirCanada.com
- 1 Aeroplan mile per dollar spent on all other purchases
- Prevents your Aeroplan Miles from expiring
- One time Maple Leaf Lounge Access (when flying on Aeroplan)
