Expedia for TD is the travel portal reserved for TD cardholders. You book flights, hotels, and packages by paying with your TD Points (0.5 cents value, or 200 points per dollar), your TD card, or a combination of both, with no blackout dates.
Expedia is one of the world’s largest travel booking sites. In Canada, the platform offers a dedicated portal for TD Bank customers: Expedia For TD. This portal allows TD cardholders to redeem their TD Rewards points for travel, with no blackout dates or restrictions.
Before diving into the tutorial, keep one thing in mind: one TD Rewards point is worth 0.5¢ on Expedia For TD. This is not the best return among Canadian programs, but the portal offers great flexibility. Here’s how to use it smartly.
Expedia.ca and ExpediaForTD.com share the same inventory: same flights, same hotels, same prices, same cruises. The difference lies elsewhere. Here’s what distinguishes the two portals.
Additionally, if you find a cheaper flight + hotel package within 24 hours of booking, or a cheaper hotel room up to 48 hours before check-in, Expedia will refund the difference. This guarantee applies to both portals.
Note also that Expedia.ca has its own loyalty program, Expedia Rewards (One Key), which cannot be combined with TD Rewards.
The Expedia For TD portal covers all of Expedia’s travel products. Here is the complete list of possible bookings:
Redeeming points via the Expedia For TD portal takes less than 5 minutes. The rule is simple: every 200 TD Rewards points are worth $1 off your trip.
At the time of payment, the green box displays the exact amount you can cover with your points and the number of points required. You can cover all or part of the trip depending on your available balance.
Once the booking is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email with payment details (points portion and card portion). Points are deducted immediately from your account. There you go! Congratulations on the savings obtained thanks to your TD Rewards points. We love it!
Have you already booked a trip with your TD card outside of Expedia For TD? You can still use your TD Rewards points to reimburse the purchase. This is the Book Your Way option. However, the ratio is less advantageous: 250 TD Rewards points = $1 reimbursement, compared to 200 points on the Expedia For TD portal.
The 200 points = $1 ratio gives a fixed value of 0.5¢ per TD Rewards point on Expedia For TD. This value never varies, regardless of the type of booking or season. This is both the strength and the limitation of the program.
The portal shines in certain specific scenarios. Conversely, other uses of points will be more advantageous depending on your profile.
Throughout the year, Expedia For TD offers occasional promotions to TD cardholders. These offers allow you to save more or boost your accumulation. Here are the most frequent formats:
Keep an eye on TD emails or the portal homepage to spot these promotions. Combined with your annual $100 travel credit and your points, they can turn a standard trip into a bargain.
Holders of the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card receive an annual $100 travel credit on their first eligible travel purchase via Expedia For TD. This credit renews every 1st January.
Once the transaction is completed, you will receive a confirmation email from TD within 2 to 3 days. The $100 credit will then appear directly in your account.
Four TD cards allow you to earn TD Rewards points and book via Expedia For TD. Here is a comparative table of the three main cards for individuals:
The TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card offers the most generous welcome bonus among TD travel points cards.
The TD Platinum Travel Visa* Card represents the intermediate option at TD for accumulating TD Rewards points.
The TD Rewards Visa* Card is the no annual fee option. For a free card, it’s still decent: 4 points on Expedia for TD, 3 points on groceries, dining, and transportation.
For self-employed individuals and business owners, the TD Business Travel Visa* Card also allows you to earn TD Rewards points and book via Expedia For TD. An option to consider for separating personal and business expenses while continuing to earn in the same program.
Here are the most frequent pitfalls TD cardholders encounter when using Expedia For TD. Avoid them and you will get much more value from your points.
Having only one TD card limits your potential. Here is a combination strategy tested by our team for travelers who wish to maximize their earning.
Consult our ranking of the best travel credit cards in Canada and our card comparison tool to build the portfolio suited to your spending.
Expedia For TD will not appeal to everyone. The value of 0.5¢ per point limits the potential for travellers aiming for business class. However, for economy class travellers, all-inclusive enthusiasts, cruisers, and families, the portal offers a flexibility that few Canadian programs can match.
Furthermore, combined with the annual $100 travel credit and 4 free visits to airport lounges, the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card positions itself as an excellent all-purpose travel card. Enhance your strategy by following our advice and stay tuned for seasonal promotions!
