For TD Canada Trust Credit Cards except TD U.S. Dollar Credit Cards
We will bill you in Canadian dollars for any transaction made on your Account in a foreign currency. We will convert that transaction by applying our foreign currency conversion rate in effect on the date that the transaction is posted to your Account, which is the rate established by VISA applicable on the date that the transaction is posted to your Account, plus a foreign currency conversion fee of 2.5%. For complete details, see your TD Canada Trust Credit Cardholder Agreement.

For TD U.S. Dollar Credit Cards
We will bill you in U.S. Dollars for any transaction made on your Account in a foreign currency (including Canadian Dollars). We will convert that transaction by applying our foreign currency conversion rate in effect on the date that the transaction is posted to your Account, which is the rate established by VISA applicable on the date that the transaction is posted to your Account, plus a foreign currency conversion fee of 2.5%.

This is the TD Aeroplan Infinite Priviledge visa card. I also read in the terms that there is a 2.5% fee but I wasn't charged the fee. It may have been an exemption rather than the rule but I'm back in the US in November and again in Jan.
