Just thought that I would add to this discussion. I am currently a CIBC Infinite AeroPlan holder who is being transferred(SOLD) to TD. I am a full banking customer with TD and when the dust settles, I will hopefully receive the new TD Infinite Aeroplan card from TD FREE!
TD had never been that accommodating in the past, so let's hope this happens.

Anyway, you should call TD NOW and request the new TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite card...they are offering it with $0 for the first year. But, you have to call or apply in-branch.
I am the same profile as you, my 2 CIBC Aerogolds were sold to TD. I called TD last week and they gave me the Infinite card $0 FYF and 15,000 signup Aeros. Since you are a full banking customer at TD, as am I, ask if they have a pre-approved credit limit on your file. Use this to apply and avoid the hard pull on your credit. No need to hope and cross your fingers...TD is very willing to dish out their new Aeroplan cards.

Your post is probably more appropriate in the TD credit card thread, but given that you are responding to another post in this thread, it's understandable why you posted here.

While the TD-CIBC Aeroplan saga is continuing, consensus over at the mentioned forum is to apply with TD now.
Once TD gets you as a customer from CIBC, the speculation goes, then you're probably not eligible for New Customer bonuses.
If you apply now, you can be a New Customer and get the 15,000. Apply in branch, and ask for the First Year Free.

I have a CIBC Aeroplan Visa (I am a CIBC banking customer, so I still have this card) and I plan to cancel it (or downgrade to a no-fee card) but I'd still like an Aeroplan credit card. If I can get one with no annual fee and bonus Aeroplan points, I am all over that! I just despise going into the branch........
Will calling work?

i just applied for, and was approved for, the CIBC aerogold card. I'm not a CIBC account holder nor a TD account holder. I have excellent credit and am really only doing it for the miles.
I received all the bonuses being offered (15k aeroplan miles on first purchase, 5k after $500 spent in 3 months, $0 fee) with essentially no questions being asked
Should i take my points and run? Make the switch to TD right away? I have no intention of keeping either card and I'm not overly concerned about my credit score (over 800)

With your credit score, you probably should apply for the TD Aero cards as well. Make sure you call or go in-branch to speak to a TD rep to get the fees waived.

This may or may not be better suited towards the Amex MR forums, but since this is to do with meeting minimum spends...
I'm $37 away from meeting a $500 minimum spend on my Amex PRG, but I'm out of Canada for the next few months. Does anyone know if AC gift cards, purchased from AC.com, get the 2x airline bonus? Would there be a better way to get that $37 with the 2x MR points bonus through online purchases?

So, pewpew, you say you're out of the country for a few months...what about any of your utilities? Can you pay them online? I often just pay into say Rogers/Telus/Bell accounts, even though the bill is not due yet...goes in as a credit on my account, and when my next bill is generated it's reduced by, in your case, $37. You're just pre-paying by a month.
Just a suggestion that might work for you.
