(Rumour Only at this time!)
– RewardsCanada.ca
The first hints of the new TD Aeroplan Visa’s are out on the Aeroplan website but there are very little details about it. When I started writing this post I had not seen that the details of the cards that seemed to have been leaked on Redflagdeals.com. I am awaiting confirmation back from Aeroplan whether the details on RFD are correct. Here is the gist of my post before coming across the RFD thread:Essentially the interim TD Card will offer the same 1.5x Aeroplan Miles bonus multiplier as the current the CIBC Aerogold cards for Gas, Grocery and Drug Store purchases. As well it is limited to $80,000 per year for those categories. We had a meeting with Aeroplan a few weeks and believe this may not be the actual offering from the card once it is officially launched. Why is this? The cards that are being issued as of January 1st will have TD branding but will still be managed by CIBC (which means the statement will actually read CIBC even though the card will have a TD logo) and this will be the case until CIBC and TD determine which cardholders move to each respective bank…
