TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite

7.4/10 · Strong$139/yr (Rebated in the first year (current offer))

The default Aeroplan card for most Canadians. Not a big earner, but the checked-bag benefit and redemption perks make it an easy hold for AC loyalists.

Why it earns its score

  • Free first checked bag on Air Canada for you and up to 8 companions
  • Direct Aeroplan earning with Visa acceptance everywhere
  • Preferred pricing on Aeroplan redemptions as a cardholder

Where it loses points

  • Base earn rates are mediocre next to Amex MR cards
  • Value is concentrated in Air Canada flyers — weak as a general rewards card

Who it's for

Air Canada flyers who check bags and redeem through Aeroplan — the checked-bag perk alone can clear the fee.

Who should skip it

You rarely fly Air Canada; a flexible-points card earns Aeroplan indirectly with more options.

Included insurance

Travel medical · Trip cancellation/interruption · Flight/baggage delay · Rental car coverage
