For more than a decade TD has offered TD
Aeroplan co-brand credit cards helping Canadians earn Aeroplan
points and get to their travel goals faster
TORONTO, Jan. 25,
2024 /CNW/ - The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX: TD) is
celebrating a 10-year milestone as the primary credit card issuer
for Aeroplan, Canada's Top Airline
Loyalty Program. The first TD Aeroplan credit cards were issued in
January 2014, and have provided more
than 1 million Canadians with accelerated Aeroplan point-earning
potential, Air Canada travel benefits and flexible redemption
options ever since:1
- TD Aeroplan credit cardholders have travelled to over 1,800
destinations worldwide with Air Canada and 45+
partners2
- Aeroplan members earned over 300 billion Aeroplan points on TD
Aeroplan credit cards1
- TD Aeroplan credit cardholders have redeemed more than 6
million rewards2. They're redeeming not just on flight
rewards for big destinations, but also for short-haul flights for
as few as 6,000 points3, car rentals, hotels, everyday
purchases like Starbucks rewards and more
"We're thrilled to have achieved this significant milestone with
Air Canada. Canadians have come to rely on TD Aeroplan credit cards
as one of the fastest ways to earn rewards, and enjoy benefits to
help them travel better," said Meg
McKee, Senior Vice President, Canadian Card Payments,
Loyalty & Personal Lending, "Whether it's the ever popular free
first checked bag, Maple Leaf Lounge TM access
or Priority Airport Services that come with select cards, TD
Aeroplan cardholders are enjoying a travel loyalty program
experience that only teaming up with Canada's flag carrier can bring."
Reflecting on this 10-year milestone, some emerging travel
trends that are expected to continue into 2024
include2:
- Going Further, Staying Longer: Travellers are checking
more off their bucket list with long stays at more far-off
destinations like Thailand,
Australia and Singapore. They're investing more, but also
using features, like Aeroplan's a 4th Night Free, to make extended
stays more affordable.
- Chasing Stars: Moments in pop culture are influencing
destination choices. Whether they're jet setting off to an arena
concert or visiting the shoot location of their favourite
hotel-based drama series, show business inspiration is bringing
travellers to a wider range of destinations.
- More Exploring: Cultural exploration is on the rise.
Canadians are using gateway destinations, like Singapore, Bangkok, São Paulo and Dubai, to broaden their horizons and
explore new cultures.
- Multi Gen Travel: Tracing the family history in places
like Portugal, Greece and Scotland, or simply looking to spend more
quality time bonding on the beach, are both ways in which we're
seeing more families travel together to make up for time lost
during the pandemic.
In order to make the most of travel trends, TD offers several
award-winning TD® Aeroplan® Visa* credit cards, including the TD®
Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card which won the Top Overall Travel
Rewards Credit Card and Top Airline Credit Card in the Rewards
Canada 2023 Canada's Choice
awards. At those same awards, the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite
Privilege Card won the Top Ultra Premium Credit Card and Aeroplan
won the Top Airline Loyalty Program.
"Together with TD, we're bringing more travel to Canadians
through their everyday spending activities," said Scott O'Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and
Product, Air Canada. "Over the last decade, we've brought together
the best of our worlds to create the ultimate travel companion -
