The first trip I booked with my boss and he's a Hilton guy so we're staying at the Hampton inn but future trips I'll stay at the Marriott as my wife and I booked Atlantis for December and were short some MArriott pts.
Sadly it doesn't. The TD Aeroplan really only nets you significant bonuses on aeroplan AWARD flights. It's misleading, yeah. Amex Gold will net you 2x and transfer 1:1 to aeroplan (or 1:1.25 to avios if you want), or even 1:0.5 to SPG, which might be an option as well. More earnings and more flexible. And good travel insurance, too.
