TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite vs Amex Aeroplan Card
Two cards, one Standard Score rubric. The TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite scores higher overall at 6.9/10, but the right pick depends on which components match your spending.
The verdict
StrongThe two entry Aeroplan cards at nearly the same fee, split by network. Both carry the free first checked bag and preferred redemption pricing; the Amex earns a little faster on dining while the TD's Visa works everywhere your groceries are. If your stores take Amex, chase whichever has the bigger bonus this quarter; otherwise the TD is the safer default.
