My advice, chuck the visa, get a low fee cibc aeroplan visa with a 1;2 warning ratio for when Amex isn't accepted. The gold also has better purchase protection.
I think the TD offer is a bit better, open an account with a $5000 deposit and you get the fee waived on the TD first class visa which is basically 1.5% cash back. You'd be better off with that than a low earning Aeroplan card I think.
