This is a heads-up for those considering switching their existing TD cards to the new TD aeroplan card.
Just converted over to the Aeroplan privilege card from my existing TD expedia points card. I was told that my expedia points would convert directly over to aeroplan points at a 4:1 ratio AND that it would count towards distinction. Furthermore, the 1st year fee is waived.
Well, a month later, I find out that converted points DO NOT count towards distinction... and there is NO fee waiver for the privilege card (there are, apparently, two other TD aeroplan cards that waive the fee, but not the one I got).
Ultimately, it's my fault for not reading up and just listening to the teller (who likely makes a commission for selling aeroplan cards)... still quite steamed over this.
