TD has just unveiled the Winter 2024 credit card offers for its suite of TD Rewards credit cards.
We’ve seen a big boost to the welcome bonus on the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card this time around, with a first-year annual fee rebate to boot†.
The current offer on the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card is available until March 4, 2024, and the TD Rewards Visa* Card‘s offer is available until June 3, 2024. As for the TD Platinum Travel Visa* Card, the offer is available until September 3, 2024.
TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card: Up to 135,000 TD Rewards Points†
The new welcome bonus on the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card is for up to 135,000 TD Rewards Points,† which is up from the previous offer of 115,000 points and matches the all-time-high offer on the card.
You’ll also enjoy an annual fee rebate for the first year,† which means you can test drive the card without any out-of-pocket expenses in year one.
To earn the full welcome bonus, you’ll have to meet the following conditions:
- Earn 20,000 TD Rewards Points† upon making your first purchase†
- Earn an additional 115,000 TD Rewards Points† upon spending $5,000 in the first 180 days of account opening†
If you spread out the spending over the course of six months, it works out to be around $833 per month. This should be a reasonable amount for many households, and you can boost your balance further by targeting spending in a category with a bonus.
As a reminder, the category earning rates on this card are as follows:
- 8 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible Expedia® for TD purchases†
- 6 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible groceries and dining purchases†
- 4 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible regularly recurring bill payments set up on your account†
- 2 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases†
It’s worth noting that there’s a $25,000 annual cap for the total amount spent on groceries, dining, and recurring bill payments. Once you’ve reached that threshold, the earning rate drops down to the base rate of 2 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent.†
Some of the card’s other features include:
- 10% anniversary bonus† of TD Rewards Points earned over the past 12 months, up to 10,000 points†
- $100 annual TD Travel Credit† upon spending $500 (CAD) on lodging expenses booked with Expedia® for TD†
- Strong insurance coverage†
If you’d like to keep the costs down year-after-after, consider a TD Unlimited or All-Inclusive chequing account, which will waive the annual fee on one TD credit card of your choice, including the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card, on an ongoing basis.
Otherwise, the annual fee for this card is $139, beginning in year two, since it’s rebated for the first year with this offer.†
Supplementary cards cost $50 each†, and the current first-year fee rebate also applies to the first supplementary cardholder.†
The TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite† Card requires either $60,000 in annual personal income, or $100,000 in annual household income, to qualify.
To be eligible for this offer, you must apply and be approved for the card before March 4, 2024.
