Having said that, IF the details are true (big IF since unofficial), the way I read that is only the top $399 card gets unlimited priority boarding? The midlevel card gets it only on AE reward tickets, and the basic card gets squat.
I don't see a huge addition to the priority boarding ranks IF true.
Thoughts?

Agree that don't want to see a UA-style devaluation with everybody with a UA Chase card in Boarding Group 2...

Can't see it adding to hoards of new people @ boarding, Canadians tend to be cheap on CC

Has there been any mention of whether the fee will be waived on any of these cards for the "All-Inclusive" chequing account holders? If I had to guess, I'd say the lower two would likely be free, but not likely the $400 card.
Now I just need to decide if I like the Aeroplan Visa Infinite more than my First Class Travel Visa Infinite... I guess it's easy math. If miles are worth more than one cent, the Aeroplan is better value. With IKK, Aeroplan is probably better.

Works out to same cost as CIBC AeroPlan, $ 120.00 for card and another $250-300 for AC lounge access card, only additional feature I can see is boarding and down side only passes not unlimited lounge access

However, I also understand the CIBC Club Privileges Travel is being discontinued after 31/12/2013.

Point is nothing new in TD most expensive offer other than priority boarding.
Not a good deal @ $399 for AC priority boarding, 4 MLL passes and some sort of lounge card, (guessing discount fee since they don't say unlimited access.)
Should be interesting how they handle the priority boarding, AC not exactly orginized now on that adding a new "class" will cause lots of issues

The question is whether TD's First Class Travel card's points will be transferable to Aeroplan, like CIBC's Aventura cards and Amex Membership Rewards.

I bought it once + 5 years ago, essentially it was discounted Maple Club card (which is now $ 365.00) at the time CIBC had some deal and it was in mid $ 200's ( can't remember exact think $ 249)

I think they should split priority boarding. I don't really care where they draw the line, as long as both credit cards are on the other side of it

"We are now starting our priority boarding for Air Canada Altitude Super Elite 100K, Elite 75K, 50K, and 35K, Star Alliance Gold members, TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite cardholders, and TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders."

Having said that you would think they would have to move to a boarding group system like UA...the announcement in English and French is gonna be a 10 minute epic at this point otherwise...

Don't forget folks that while this stuff looks potentially legit, it IS completely rumor as the original poster did not post any sort of evidence that these are based on promotional materials.
That said, it does look plausible doesn't it?

TD credit card announcement timeline?
I won't be surprise if TD offered crap.They used to have an AA card and it was for 10000 points only. They seem to think people like TD do they'll sign up. What they don't understand is no one is loyal to the card issuer but rather Aeroplan, or whatever the co brand is. CIBC and Amex will just laugh at TD

If true, these are terrible deals.
200k minimum income gets 25k bonus on $400 annual fee with a 10k limit? Laughable.
And they've also clearly "enhanced" the aerogold card to guide people to the infinite. I guess you gotta make that money back they spent on buying off CIBC somehow.....

Is that worth getting such a garbage deal? Hell no. I'd rather just get the aerogold or infinite from CIBC

I hate to point this out so late in the year before TD offers AE.. but it seems the CIBC Aerogold Infinite at 15K bonus and FYF is a sweet deal prior to TD's launch in the new year..
Better jump on the CIBC deal quick before it flies away.
