The short notice on this is somewhat annoying as I have a stay booked on this card starting September 15.

This leaves the MBNA Amazon card as their only co-branded card now. It almost seems like TD is attempting to wind down MBNA's portfolio of cards in Canada. I wonder if they are regretting the purchase of MBNA Canada?
It is not true that the card is being cancelled outright. Most people seem to be getting a letter that the card is morphing into the MBNA Rewards Platinum Plus card. The credit card number and PIN will remain the same. The new card will be received in October so you will still be able to use your existing card with the new rewards starting on September 13, 2023.
