TD has just unveiled a series of changes that will take effect on May 1, 2025 for its entire credit card portfolio.
These changes mainly affect discount rates and benefits, with the addition of new multiplier categories such as:
- Public transport;
- Electric vehicle recharging;
- Establishments serving alcohol (bars, nightclubs, lounges);
- Streaming services, digital media and video games.
Additionally, the most notable change involves the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card , which will now offer a complimentary Visa Airport Companion membership and four annual airport lounge passes with DragonPass!
However, these improvements are accompanied by an increase in interest rates for the majority of cards.

Bottom Line
Despite a rise in interest rates, TD is significantly enhancing the benefits of its credit cards as of May 1, 2025.
TD adds new categories to include sustainable modes of transport: electric vehicle recharging and public transport will be rewarded at the same rate as gasoline. The bank is also adding bars and nightclubs to the Restaurant category.
However, it is the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card that stands out the most, with the addition of access to VIP airport lounges. With four free accesses per year (a value of $285), it will become one of the best travel credit cards in Canada.
There’s never been a better time to take advantage of the current welcome offer: up to 135,000 TD Rewards points ( $675 value in travel) and the first year free!
