News, Tips & Tricks
One of our readers has let us know about some issues surrounding the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege card. Now we aren't 100% sure that TD is to blame here however when someone signs up for this card because of the benefits touted, it doesn't look good for the card issuer! The issue surrounds the Airport Angel business class lounge access program that comes as a benefit with the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege. Our reader upon instruction from TD signed up for the Aiport Angel program and set up the digital membership card on his phone.
Upon trying to access the domestic Plaza Premium lounge in
Toronto's T1 terminal he was denied access. Here is the first email from our reader:
FYI--I tried using the airport angel benefit offered with the new TD Visa Aeroplan Infinite Privileges ($399) card last night in Toronto and was denied entry---luckily I had a still current Amex Plat Membership reward card---this new TD Visa is quickly losing my support with the earlier loss of Hilton Honors Diamond status benefit....I'll keep you posted.I asked whether he had a physical Airport Angel Card:
Promised I'd have one since enrollment---still has not arrived....this is truly the TD gong-show aeroplan card....still no clarification despite 4 emails from visa infinite privileges concierge managers telling me they have escalated this issue to the next level---sounds impressive but nothing has changed as of yet....last night I filed a "feedback" issue directly with TD concerning the lack of benefits the new premium card is suffering from with it's growing pains.....I'll keep you posted.We don't know all the details on why he was denied but the lounge is part of the Airport Angel program and you would think with his digital card he would have access. Luckily he still carries The Platinum Card from American Express so he was able to enter but had to pay a fee for one person out of his family of four. This reader of ours is definitely losing faith in the TD card because of this issue and the previous issue of the removal of the Hilton HHonors Diamond status. Like we said, the lounge issue and even the HHonors Diamond issue may not even be TD's problem since they are part of the Visa Infinite Privilege benefits but TD is the only issuer of an Infinite Privilege Card and the issues do not help them out!
Our question to you is: Have you had any related issues with this card or any of the other TD Aeroplan cards? Please let us and our readers know in the comment section below!
