Yes it does. All programs are different, different earning rates for different airlines, different rates to redeem awards, and different status levels/benefits.

Also note that not all programs will allow retro-claims and may have limitations on how far back you can claim.

So if I've got a Visa Infinite First Class (the black one, TD's own miles program), I'm ineligible for the signup bonus on the AP Infinite?

I think you are referring to the AMEX Membership Reward 40K sign-up bonus with FYF on the Business Gold Rewards card. 1 AMEX MR can be convert to 1 Aeroplan, so that the 40K Aeroplan.

Just search for TD in the merchants on GCR. Happy flying!
The other problem is I keep on getting the message every time I try to apply:

If you already have a TD Profile and been signing in to it, try select the option where you will create a new profile. That is why I got it working for myself.

Hopefully someone can help me out with a CC dilemma. Just trying to see which will give me the most bang for my buck.

I have an AMEX Plat and since those points can be transferred to either Aeroplan or Skymiles at 1:1, that covers SkyTeam and *A.

I'm looking to cover ground with oneworld and can't decide whether to go for the RBC BA Visa or the RBC CX Visa:

http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/credit-c...edit-card.html
http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/credit-c...edit-card.html

I can spend $30k annually but that means giving up the AMEX Platinum. I'm only keeping the Plat because of the lounge access and the $200 annual travel perk; both have been great.

Apparently the Avion Infinite Privilege Visa has an income requirement of $200k? LOL.

Crap. Well I guess I can get the CapitalOne Delta Gold card. No annual fee and 2 miles/$1 redemption.

Trying to maximize my purchasing power.

Amex also transfers 1:1 to BA, so you've got Oneworld covered there.

Have you tried submitting the application in Internet Explorer? I found I kept getting an error when I was trying to do it in Google Chrome.
