Bottom line, means moving to spend based points only. Impact is on customers who only use cheapest hotel product.
Good write up on Hilton program changes here:

Sounds like the lower end users who count on fixed rate airline mile bonuses are affected. My assumption though, is that the double dipping is still there, which is the Hilton Diamond main stay feature, but based on variable $$ spent.

The benefit of the Hilton Diamond program is the ability to double dip. My initial reading wasn't clear if this ability has been struck.

So if a Hilton Diamond, the 50% more applies to HH points only, or both HH and AP points. Sounds from your statement its both.

Switching gears.. I've clicked on the Aeroplan Privilege Visa link top of the page, and I can't find the Hilton Diamond and FPC Platinum accelerated status as a listed benefit, that has been discussed in this thread. Is this an unpublished benefit, or another TD card (not Privilege) all together?

I guess it has to do more with Infinite Privilege benefits..

I currently have the TD Infinite First Class Travel Card, and Select Service (or whatever the 5k balance checking is called these days)
My Visa fees are waived. Can I switch to the Aeroplan card, what fees are waived on the Privilege?

down toward the bottom, it says:
"Exclusive Benefits with Visa Infinite Privilege" and one of those items is
"Hotel Benefits".
When you click that, you get (at least in my browser) a popup
Visa Infinite Privilege Hotel Benefits
With your Visa Infinite Privilege Card, you’re assured that every hotel stay, everywhere you travel in the world, will be simply extraordinary. Choose a property with confidence from the Visa Infinite Luxury Hotel Collection, our handpicked portfolio of over 900 of the world’s most prestigious properties. Plus, enjoy the option of enrolling in or upgrading to elevated membership in Fairmont President’s Club. For details, visit visainfinite.ca/privilegeundefined.
Following THAT link, you get to a page that requires a login, or a further link that takes you to the site you mention. From that, it very indirectly, obliquely, whispers that there is Hilton membership tied to the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege card.

Let's 'flyquiet' under the radar.
Nice find super sleuths.. 99.9% of the public wouldn't know this. Definitely not by looking at the benefits outlined on the Privilege offering. I wonder if the agents whose handling the application knows about these benefits. I wonder if TD execs know?
The Plat5 similar Fairmont program that Privilege offering is having me consider not applying for AeroPlat at all. Simply overlap in the benefits.

just got my letter from CIBC today and i'm a bit confused as to what's going on.......
a bit of history/info..
-I have banking with PC financial but I don't have any banking ties with CIBC other than their CC
-i applied for the aerogold around jan 2013 when they had a FYF promo
-cancelled the aerogold around june 2013, reapplied again because they were offering FYF but this time I got the aerogold infinite
so my questions are......why am I getting a letter for a cancelled card and why am I "staying" with cibc even though I have no banking ties? i have not received anything yet with regards to my aerogold infinite. strange.

Maybe a bit strange. Most likely your account went over to TD in a close file format as you can always reactivate upto some time after closure. When RBC took over the Optimum Visa, I had the letter from RBC about stuff but it was long canceled with MBNA. Some regulation or something. I called to make sure its not active and was told everything is fine card is closed etc. Other stuff I did not listen to what the rep said to remember. You will be fine.
