I have one question that still seems unclear to me (I can guess but its not explicit anywhere)
With an AP branded CC you earn everyday Aeroplan points (including multipliers for spending on AC, dining etc)
Using TD cards as an example, the platinum card earns just AP points, the Infinite earns 1kSQM /$10k and the VIP 1kSQM/$5k
In the future VIP moves to 1K SQC for every $5k spend and Infinite moves to 1kSQC/$20k spend
I assume that they’ll all continue to earn AP everyday points on CC spend, at the same rate as they currently do, but these everyday points will be excluded from the 5:1 everyday earn to SQC conversion. But, while the “partner earn” section on everyday points explicitly excludes lists the eStore and promotions it is silent on AP points from CC.
No doubt this will get clarified some time next year…
