Earn up to 50,000 Bonus Aeroplan Points and pay no annual fee in the 1st year with the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card

In March, TD's Aeroplan co-brand cards moved to a points only bonus instead of points + bonus buddy pass which made a lot of individual travellers happy as for the better part of 18 months the welcome offer on this card offered less points but also a Buddy Pass. Well if you don't travel with a companion that Buddy Pass didn't provide any value for a solo traveller.  That being said, this new offer isn't just for solo travellers - this offer is just as great for couples, families or whomever, it's just that the old Buddy Pass offer was more conducive for non-solo travellers.
