So I did not cancel the old card and I applied for the "new" CIBC Aerogold Infinite on the phone yesterday, for which I've been approved after a short credit inquiry exactly as if I were a new customer. The credit agent said applying online would probably have been more complicated. One more thing: one rep said that cancelling now the old CIBC would not prevent the Visa TD from being sent to me. Same logic: deal closed,
So we should all just apply for the new TD card to get the FYF and the bonus points, and also apply for the new CIBC card to get the FYF and the bonus points.

Cancel your old cibc card if you're not getting transferred to TD. If you're sold to TD, can cancel the new TD card when they transfer you -- well, unless they also give you bonus points and FYF then wait a little while and cancel.
