Yes, I've had problems too. I can't submit the application. I only get 90% of the app completed. I've tried using multiple browsers.

I spoke w/ customer service at TD and they are aware of the problem. The rep told me to try again tomorrow.

I've tried the last few days (on multiple browsers), with no success. Get hung up at the 90% mark and clicking "Submit" does nothing.

Anyone found a solution yet?

Whoop whoop! I've just added RBC Avion to our very small collection. Great application platform.
Thanks JJJ. It almost feels like old days.

I contacted TD again and they suggested I call in and do the application over the phone. They said to mention to the rep that I'm experiencing technical problems submitting the application. They told me that there is a source code that they can input to ensure that I receive the 30,000 Aeroplan miles and first year free.

Not sure how I feel about doing the app over the phone. I don't want problems down the road because it does say that the offer is online only. I've asked when the problem might be resolved and they don't have an ETA.

When I started applying on line, I got preapproved, and the rest worked the first time, even got an acknowledgement that I'll get the new card in a few business days.WW

Good to hear; there's lots of reports out there of incomplete or "stuck" applications.
Which browser did you use?

NotJustDreaming Feb 20, 2019 7:56 am

When I applied for TD Aeroplan Visa (five days ago), I went directly from the TD website as well. It went smoothly. Safari.

I got my application for the TD card in. 10 minutes later my wife was getting nowhere. And still isn't.

LearningToFly Feb 21, 2019 3:15 pm

I used Safari ad got stuck at 90% of my application. I used the chat, 15 minutes, got the info that the credit inquiry might have already been done, and that a telephone call would be necessary to "complete" the application. Over the phone I had to start fro the beginning though, after having been suggested to go at the branch instead for the application. One hour and a half later on the phone, and the promise that I will get the 30000 miles, I was congratulated (!) for having won the privilege of being a Visa TD customer. No confirmation number available, no employee number, only a first name provided (Emmanuel). Plus I have to pick my card at the branch. Hi JJJ !

DH’s Aeroplan points were set to expire 19 Feb. It was such a small balance I wasn’t too troubled about them. But I did make a token purchase through the Aeroplan e-store (it’s hard to let these things go). That purchase has still not posted. However...

Of interest,
That TD Aeroplan Visa (applied 15 Feb) appears to have saved those Aeroplan points. Zero transactions for the year. Clear expiration. Points are still there. We do not have the Visa card yet so it hasn’t been activated. Certainly nothing has been transferred to Aeroplan as a statement credit or welcome from the card. We can see the Visa card account in our TD web banking accounts.

Cool. Good to know that IT happens quickly somewhere in there. And the no expiration benefit of the TD Aeroplan Visa can happen before the card is even in my hot little hand.

I know it’s very easy to keep Aeroplan points from expiring with the e-store. Still good to know.

I already received an e-mail from both TD and Air Canada about the benefits of the new card, which should be in the mail.

There's a new batch of PointBreaks hotel room specials from IHG / Holiday Inn hotels, for now till May 31, 2019.

PointBreaks are reward stays available starting at 5,000 points.
There are offers for 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 points... I'd consider 10,000 or 15,000 as "not bad", but 5,000 can be a really fantastic deal.

If you don't have points, you can purchase points from the IHG website.
Better yet, (I believe) there is a way that IHG members who already have at least 5,000 points can buy 5,000 points for US $40, or buy 10,000 points (2 nights' worth) for US $70. This workaround is discussed in other threads. PM me if you have questions.
Other methods are discussed starting around post 3925 of this thread...

anyone apply for the new amex bonvoy card after having had the spg card? want to find out if the lifetime bonus limitation still applies. i logged onto my amex account and noticed the cancelled spg cards were changed to bonvoy cards.

Smiley90 Feb 28, 2019 7:47 pm

Read news today that AC has signed a new ten-year agreement with AMEX that'll cover their new program in Canada. Totally not unexpected of course, but still nice to see confirmation.
