Final thoughts

We’ve waited months to see what TD had to offer its newly acquired Aeroplan customers.  Now that they’ve unveiled the suite of cards, expect a huge marketing push in the coming months to lure over new customers.

The welcome bonus offered is a big perk, as is the limited time 2-for-1 flight reward incentive for signing up.
