Updated portfolio includes accelerated earning and refined travel experiences built for sharing  

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2020 /CNW/ - Following today's unveiling of Air Canada's transformed Aeroplan loyalty program, TD is pleased to introduce its refreshed suite of TD Aeroplan® Visa Credit Cards, offering cardholders greater benefits and redesigned travel rewards with fewer restrictions.

Launching November 8, 2020, the suite of TD Aeroplan Credit Cards will offer an expanded roster of benefits including accelerated earning power on everyday purchases and revamped air travel experiences. Importantly, Aeroplan points will not expire for cardholders with a TD Aeroplan Credit Card, allowing customers to accumulate rewards on their day-to-day spending and redeem them at their convenience.

"We know it's a challenging time for Canadians to be thinking about travel, but our focus is on the future - and delivering incredible new benefits to our customers through the relaunch of our TD Aeroplan cards," says Katy Boshart, Senior Vice President, Canadian Credit Cards at TD. "From in-demand and shareable travel benefits that enhance the air travel experience to accelerated earn rates on gas, groceries and Air Canada purchases – our refreshed suite will be a powerful differentiator for TD in the market."

TD Aeroplan Visa: Benefits built for sharing

TD Aeroplan cards are designed to help everyone share in better air travel experiences, offering expanded travel and insurance benefits for all cardholders. As part of the transformed program Aeroplan members also get access to extras like seat upgrades and Wi-Fi, conveniently redeemable through points.  Furthermore, with Aeroplan Family Sharing, members will be able to combine Aeroplan points with others in their household, so they can redeem for travel sooner.

In addition, TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders can look forward to an array of Air Canada travel perks, including free first checked bag, priority check-in and boarding, priority baggage handling, priority airport standby and upgrades, along with complimentary access to Maple Leaf Lounges and Air Canada Cafés across North America.
