This CC swipe system has 3 parties involved: aeroplan, TD and finally AC. AC is the final gatekeeper at the MLL and all they can do is swipe the TD Visa, see if that number in their system has a valid entry credit available tied to the AC ticket number that is part of the boarding pass for this request. I can see lots of things at play here, and why it's so easy to get denied entry. for eg., what if you booked a valid award at the very last minute. Would the underlying system that the MLL connects to, be updated in time to link the TD card number with a valid lounge entry credit, since Aeroplan, TD and AC are all involved here to make things 'work'?

Which leads me to believe that even if my wife swipes her own TD Aero Visa at the MLL, on an award that I've booked for her using MY points, this would not set up anything fir her TD card number, and thus result in denied entry for her at the MLL. This would be consistent with what you've reported, as well as others up-thread.

OTOH, zoobtoob's post above, where he paid for his award with an Amex card, still triggered the required conditions to allow his TD Visa card to gain him entry to the MLL.

I just applied for another one in September (as my last card came March) and all the AE bonuses have posted - but wondering if worth it to do another application by Oct. 31, 15 (or useless because I won't get another 25000 AE bonus).

some said switching/upgrading from Infinite would only get the DIFFERENCE in bonus and pay the $399 fee still, so paying $399 for 25K miles is a bad deal (50K - 25K)

If one "cancels" the card, the travel insurance coverage falls away.

The card must be open and in good standing for the travel insurance to be valid. So make sure to make the payment before the trip and not to let it goes into arrears!

But balances were transferred automatically to the new card.

It's really no difference from losing the card and the replacement card carries a different no. It will be different if one actually closes the account and re-applies for a new one.
