Best ways to redeem:.

TD Rewards Points are the primary currency touted by the largest bank in Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank. TD Rewards are a proprietary currency, belonging solely to TD and tied exclusively to TD credit cards .

TD Rewards is a fixed-value points currency, meaning that points can be redeemed in a number of ways at a fixed value. TD Rewards Points are particularly useful to offset the cost of incidental travel purchases, such as independent hotels, short-term rentals, and vacations, to further minimize your out-of-pocket travel expenses.

Earning Points via Signup Bonuses

The only way to earn TD Rewards is from the bank itself, via its suite of personal TD Rewards-earning credit cards.

• The TD Rewards Visa* Card is the no-fee card, which typically comes with a small signup bonus.
• The TD Platinum Travel Visa* Card is the entry-level product among the TD Rewards cards. The card frequently puts on first-year annual fee rebate promotions along with a modest welcome bonus, which typically ranges between 15,000–50,000 TD Rewards Points.
• The TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card is the flagship TD Rewards product from TD. The card frequently offers first-year annual fee rebates, along with a sizeable welcome bonus of 20,000–135,000 TD Rewards Points.

Earning Points via Daily Spending

Beyond signup offers, you can earn TD Rewards Points through daily spending on the above credit cards. The earning rates are as follows:

• 4 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible Expedia® for TD purchases†
• 3 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible groceries and dining purchases†
• 2 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible recurring bill payments set up on your account†
• 1 TD Rewards Point† per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases†
• 6 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible Expedia® for TD†
• 4.5 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible groceries and dining†
• 3 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible recurring bill payments set up on your account†
• 1.5 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases†
• 8 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible travel booked through Expedia® for TD†
• 6 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible groceries and restaurant purchases†
• 4 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on eligible recurring bill payments set up on your account†
• 2 TD Rewards Points† per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases†

Purely from an earning perspective, the TD First Class Travel® Visa Infinite* Card stands out as the strongest card.

This is especially true for anyone who books a significant component of their trips on Expedia, as you can earn an effective 4% return on your purchases.

Redeeming TD Rewards Points

The TD Rewards program offers various redemption possibilities, with different levels of value attached to each one.

Expedia® for TD

The best redemption value for TD Rewards comes by redeeming them on the dedicated redemption portal Expedia® for TD. By redeeming points this way, you’ll get 0.5 cents per point (cpp), which is the best way to use TD Rewards Points.

Expedia® for TD is essentially the same platform as the regular Expedia, except you log in with your TD credentials so you can redeem points.

Simply sign in to your TD Rewards account, click “Expedia for TD” under the “Redeem” tab, and then click through to the Expedia for TD portal.

As with regular Expedia purchases, you can book flights, hotels, car rentals, and other travel purchases. Importantly, Expedia also offers cruises, tours, and Disney tickets, among other things.

As these travel expenses are typically quite difficult to book with points, using TD Rewards Points at a fixed value of 0.5 cents per point is an excellent redemption opportunity, and could end up saving you a significant amount of cash out-of-pocket.

The minimum redemption is 200 points ($1), and you can choose to redeem your points in $50 increments. You’re able to make purchases in any combination of points and cash.

Once you’ve chosen your desired purchase on Expedia for TD, look for “Use your TD Points” on the checkout page. Just select the number of points you’d like to redeem at 0.5cpp, and then proceed with your purchase.

The credit posts in three to five days after the purchase, so be patient and keep an eye on your account.

If you’re using your TD Rewards Points on Expedia® For TD to redeem for hotels, or car rentals, the usual warnings of using an online travel agency apply.

You won’t earn any hotel status benefits or accrue elite qualifying nights at hotels. For car rentals, you won’t earn things like Hertz points or free rentals through National Free Days.

This doesn’t apply to airfare, though, as you’ll still accrue the same amount of elite qualifying miles, segments, and dollars. As long as you have your frequent flyer number attached to your booking or add it in at the check-in counter, your travel should count towards elite status qualification.

One major thing to note about using Expedia to book airfare is that any and all changes and cancellations must be pursued through the third-party booking agency, and can’t be done through the airline.

Book Any Way

The second-best way to redeem TD points is for non-Expedia travel, where you can redeem at a respectable 0.4 cents per point. The minimum redemption is 250 points ($1).

This ratio is maintained for the first $1,200 of a single travel purchase, and will be 0.5 cents per point (200 points = $1) thereafter.

Booking non-Expedia travel using TD points is called “Book Any Way Travel” and can be booked by using the TD Rewards website or by calling 1-800-983-8472.

Calling has a few distinct advantages, such as the ability to redeem your points for non-conventional travel items, such as gas, attractions, various hotel expenses, RV rentals, and even Airbnbs.

To redeem TD Rewards points through “Book Any Way Travel”, select “Book Any Way Travel” from the “Redeem” tab on the TD Rewards website.

On the next screen, fill in the information about the transaction against which you’d like to redeem points. Note that you can only redeem TD Rewards points for “Book Any Way Travel”  after the purchase has posted on your account.

You’ll need to note down the transaction date, its description, and the amount before proceeding. You can submit multiple transactions at once.

Higher Education

Using TD Rewards Points towards higher education is also a decent option, at a redemption value of 0.4 cents per point (250 points = $1). You’re able to use your TD Rewards Points to pay for tuition and/or student loans, in increments of $250 (62,500 points).

First, check if your institution participates on the TD website , and then you can buy HigherEdPoints Education Credits with your TD Rewards Points.

If you want to use your TD Rewards Points towards shopping expenses, you can redeem your points towards gift cards at a flat value of 0.25 cents per point (400 points = $1).

This is objectively a lower-value redemption than travel; however, as long as you’re redeeming points for higher value than your costs (which is usually the annual fee), you’re keeping cash in your pocket.

Gift Cards & Merchandise

There are sometimes discounts which offer gift cards for 25% off, so you can redeem at 0.33 cents per point. If you plan on redeeming TD Rewards for gift cards, it’s best to wait for one of these promotions prior to doing so.

The same value of 0.25 cents per point is offered for merchandise purchases, which are listed on the TD Rewards website . As with gift cards, there are sometimes sales where you can redeem for up to 0.3–0.4 cents per point.

As always, check if the item you’re redeeming for is on sale for a lower price on another platform to calculate your redemption value.

There’s also the option of redeeming TD Rewards Points at 0.33 cents per point through a partnership with Amazon.ca.

First, you’ll have to enroll by linking your TD Rewards-earning credit card with your Amazon account. Once you’ve done this, you can apply TD Rewards Points.

At the check-out page on Amazon, change the payment method to your linked TD Rewards credit card, where you’ll see the balance of points available. You can cover the rest of the purchase with your credit card.

Statement Credit

Finally, the last way to use your TD Rewards Points is to redeem for statement credit directly, also at a rate of 0.25 cents per point.

It sounds like the same rate as gift cards and merchandise, but keep in mind that those have occasional sales, while statement credits always remain at 0.25 cents per point.

This makes it the lowest-value way of redeeming your TD Rewards Points, and if you plan to use your points towards a statement credit, you’re better off with a cash back card .

Without a doubt, using Expedia® For TD at a rate of 0.5 cents per point (200 points = $1) is the best value redemption for TD Rewards Points.

For most travellers, this should suffice just fine, as Expedia offers tours, Disney park tickets, and a plethora of other travel possibilities aside from the usual flights, hotels, and car rentals.

TD Rewards Points are a great way to save money on miscellaneous travel expenses, and the regular high signup bonuses and respectable earning rates make it quite easy to rack up the points.

Hi, is it possible to sell my TD points to someone in exchange for cash? I am getting older and I doubt I will ever use it for travel. I have a lot of points. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Judy. I don’t think TD points are transferable to other people, however you CAN redeem them for a cash (statement credit). You will get 0.25 cents per point, so for example if you have 100,000 TD points, that should be a credit of $250 . You may also be able to redeem them for non-travel rewards that will give you more value for your points. If you do decide on the statement credit, this can be done from TD Easyweb when viewing your TD Visa details. You might have to sign up or sign-in to ‘TD Rewards’ for the other options. Hope this helps!

How to use TD Rewards points to reduce travel costs

by Anne Betts | Mar 21, 2024 | Travel Hacking | 5 comments

Updated March 21, 2024

Is the TD Rewards program worth it? How does the program work? What are the various ways to use TD Rewards points to reduce travel costs ? What qualifies as a travel cost?

After several years of earning and redeeming TD Rewards points for travel, I’ve found the program to be beneficial. Here is my review.

Table of Contents

What are TD Rewards Points?

Td rewards credit cards, td first class travel visa infinite card, what are td rewards worth, (i) expedia for td, (ii) book any way, what qualifies as book any way travel, (i) expedia for td, is the td first class travel visa infinite worth it, what i like, what i don’t like.

TD refers to the Toronto-Dominion Bank. TD’s propriety loyalty program is called TD Rewards. The rewards currency is TD Rewards Points. To improve readability, I’ll refer to the points as ‘TD Rewards.’

TD Rewards can’t be converted to any other loyalty currency, or transferred to another loyalty program. It used to be possible to convert TD Rewards to Aeroplan on a product switch to a TD Aeroplan-branded card at a rate of 4:1. However, since April 2019, this is no longer the case.

Points don’t expire as long as your TD Rewards-earning credit card account is in good standing. If you close your credit card account (and don’t have another TD Rewards-earning credit card), you’ll have 90 days to redeem any points left in the account. But, if you lose access to Expedia For TD, they’ll be redeemable at the lower ‘book any way’ value.

As a general rule, points in any in-house program should be redeemed or transferred to another credit card earning the same rewards currency before cancelling or product switching a card.

How to earn TD Rewards

TD Rewards can be earned from a credit card sign-up bonus, through everyday spend on the credit card, and the occasional promotion.

TD offers four credit cards earning TD Rewards:

• TD Platinum Travel Visa Card
• TD Rewards Visa Card
• TD Business Travel Visa Card

TD offers very few points-earning promotions.

The best way to stay abreast of these opportunities is via promotional emails from TD.

For travellers, the best of the three personal credit cards is the First Class Travel Visa Infinite, last overhauled on October 30, 2022.

TD offers promotions on the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite  with elevated sign-up bonuses. For example a promotion ending March 4, 2024 included an annual fee waiver ($139) in the first year and a sign-up bonus of up to 135,000 points. The current promotion ending June 4, 2024 has a sign-up bonus of up to 100,000 points:

• 20,000 points after the first purchase
• 80000 points after spending $5,000 within 180 days of account opening

According to the terms and conditions, the offer isn’t available to customers who have activated and/or closed a TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Account in the last 12 months. However, this may or may not be enforced. Also, a product switch from a lower-tier card may be eligible for the full promotional benefits.

The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite also includes: 

• a birthday bonus of 10% of the points earned in the 12 months preceding the primary cardholder’s birthday (up to a maximum of 10,000 points) 
• an annual TD Travel Credit of $100 each calendar year on certain bookings (hotel, motel, lodging, vacation rental, or vacation package) of $500 or more at Expedia for TD in cash, points, or a combination of points and cash.
• a free Uber One membership for 12 months

The earning rate on the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite is:

• 8 points per dollar for travel booked online or by phone at Expedia for TD
• 6 points per dollar spent on groceries and at restaurants
• 4 points per dollar on regular recurring payments
• 2 points per dollar on all other purchases

There’s a $25,000 cap on spending at the accelerated rates. After that threshold is reached, the earning rate decreases to the base rate of 2 points per dollar.

At first glance, the earning rate on the TD First Class Visa Infinite looks very attractive. That’s because many reward programs can be redeemed at one cent per point (e.g., 10,000 points = $100). With TD Rewards, the best possible redemption rate is 0.5 cents per point (e.g., 10,000 points = $50).

TD’s in-house travel portal is called Expedia For TD, operated by Expedia.

There are two ways to redeem TD Rewards for travel purchases:

• Expedia for TD
• ‘Book Any Way’

Each has a different redemption value.

For travel booked through Expedia For TD, points are valued at $0.05 (200 points = $1).

For the most part, Expedia for TD mirrors what’s available on Expedia. However, there are gaps in the inventory. Also, some folks have reported higher prices on Expedia for TD, compared to what’s posted on Expedia.

For what it’s worth, that hasn’t been my experience. For example, a search for a specific hotel in Halifax revealed the best price at Expedia when compared with other booking sites.

The (almost) same price for the same property appeared at Expedia for TD.

‘Book Any Way’ covers travel purchased from travel providers other than Expedia For TD. This allows you to book and redeem points for travel products that don’t appear on Expedia. This includes the option to book last-minute deals or discounted travel at prices that are cheaper than what’s listed at Expedia.

However, TD Rewards are valued at $0.04 (250 = $1) on the first $1,200 of a Book Any Way travel purchase. The value increases to $0.05 (200 = $1) for any amount that is over $1,200 on the same  purchase. This is useful for ‘big-ticket’ bookings such as vacation packages or apartment rentals.

Keep in mind that when purchasing from a provider other than Expedia For TD:

• you’re earning x2 TD Rewards Points (instead of x8 at Expedia for TD); and
• you’re redeeming at a lower value of $0.04 (instead of $0.05).

The program has a broad view of what qualifies as travel. Flights, accommodation, cruises, vacation packages (usual stuff) are eligible. Expenses such as theatre tickets, golf fees, resort excursions, restaurant bills, gasoline, taxi fares, and parking may qualify if they’re incurred while travelling.

How to redeem TD Rewards for travel

The most convenient way is to book online by signing in to TD Rewards, and entering the Expedia For TD portal to shop for travel.

When you’re ready to make a decision, one click takes you to your chosen travel product.

Another click takes you to the payment page with helpful pre-populated fields showing the name of the cardholder, credit card, TD Rewards account balance, and its monetary value.

Within moments, an email arrives from Expedia for TD with the booking confirmation and details.  

With the “use points” option, the entire travel purchase, including taxes and fees, will be charged to your credit card. But, because you used TD Rewards Points, you’ll receive a credit on your credit card statement within 5 days after the charge, equal to the number of points used.

For the best return, anything appearing at Expedia should be booked online through Expedia For TD and redeemed in this way. Another option is to book by telephone (at Expedia for TD). The points multiplier of x8 for using Expedia For TD will be earned on each booking. Travel purchases and their respective statement credits will appear as separate line items.

• Make a travel-related purchase using the credit card earning TD Rewards.
• Wait until the charge posts to your credit card account.
• Call TD Rewards within 90 days of the transaction date of the purchase, and ask to have points applied.
• The points will be deducted from your points balance available at the time the points are redeemed, not the transaction date of the purchase.
• The amount credited towards the purchase will be equal to the value of the points redeemed. If there are insufficient points available to cover the entire amount, the remaining cost will be posted on the account for payment.

Both redemption routes (Expedia For TD and Book Any Way) allow payment in any combination of points and cash.

Note: Travel usually delivers the best rate of return. However, TD Rewards can be redeemed for merchandise (at an average of 0.23 cents per point), gift cards (0.25), tuition, or paying down a student loan debt (0.4), or as a credit against your credit card account (0.25). These redemption values are shared with thanks to Credit Card Genius for their research and analysis.

If the following applies to you, I say YES :

• You purchase a considerable amount of travel through Expedia (for TD).
• You’re likely to make a single purchase of $500 or more at Expedia for TD to earn the annual travel credit of $100.

• You like the idea of offsetting a variety of travel costs with various rewards programs.
• You’re not loyal to any particular hotel brand and you use a variety of accommodation that’s bookable through Expedia (for TD).
• You’re able to tap into a fee waiver and decent sign-up bonus.
• You have a TD All-Inclusive Banking Package. This requires a minimum daily balance of $5,000 in your account. It entitles you to a $29.95 monthly fee rebate ($22.45 for seniors aged 60 or older). It includes an annual fee rebate of your choice of one of five select TD credit cards. The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite is one of the cards. The rebate covers the fees for the primary cardholder and one supplementary cardholder.
• You can make use of the travel insurance benefits.
• You use Expedia sparingly. You don’t use it enough to justify paying the annual fee of $139 (beginning in the second year under a -first-year-free promotion).
• Most of your flights are award bookings using frequent flyer miles or points. When you do purchase a revenue ticket, you book flights directly with an airline because of better service in the event of booking irregularities, flight cancellations, and overbooked flights.
• You’re a member of one or more hotel loyalty programs. You book directly with the respective program to earn loyalty points, status credits, and other benefits.
• The other credit cards in your wallet have superior earning power on everyday-spend categories such as groceries, gas, transit, and dining, and/or earn flexible points that are convertible to other reward programs offering better redemption values.

Is the TD Rewards program worth it?

The TD Rewards program shouldn’t be viewed as a frequent flyer program but one where it’s possible to cut trip costs by redeeming points for miscellaneous travel expenses.   

For a personal credit card, I believe the best of the bunch is the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card. What did I think of TD Rewards and the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card?

• When used exclusively for travel bookings at Expedia for TD, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card offers an appealing return of 4%. Otherwise, a mixture of earn rates puts the return somewhere between 1% and 4%.
• For the most part, Expedia has a solid reputation. The company carries some weight in the travel world and could be a useful ally if things don’t go as planned with a small, independent tour operator. However, I’d never use Expedia for expensive long-haul flights. Overbooked flights, delays, cancellations, and other disruptions can put passengers in a zone where neither the airline nor the OTA (Online Travel Agency) will provide assistance.
• I like Expedia For TD’s large inventory of accommodation options, including hostels and apartments, at a variety of price points. I’ve also been impressed by the attractiveness of refundable bookings. For example, the same property at Booking might be refundable up to a month out, whereas at Expedia, it might be refundable up until the day before arrival. This limits reliance on trip cancellation insurance.
• TD’s recent overhaul of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite that included a $100 annual travel credit is a welcome benefit. It requires a purchase of $500 or more at Expedia for TD once in a calendar year (that is relatively easy to accomplish when booking accommodation). Triggering the credit requires no intervention on a cardholder’s part as as an email and secure message from TD arrives within 48 hours. This effectively reduces the annual fee of $139 to $39, a compelling reason to keep the card.

• There’s also the option to book tours and experiences. Other propriety programs (e.g., AMEX Travel) don’t offer a similar range and variety of travel products.
• I love the online system for booking travel at Expedia For TD, and redeeming points against the purchase. It involves inserting a minimal amount of information, and a few clicks to complete the process. Within seconds, the booking confirmation arrives by email.
• Anything appearing at Expedia for TD is bookable online from anywhere in the world. Expedia For TD’s online booking process is convenient, user-friendly, and efficient.
• The same applies to the online process for changing a reservation or using Expedia for TD’s Virtual Assistant to cancel refundable bookings. Sign in, select the booking, hit the cancel button, and receive notification that the refund will be sent within 48 hours.

• The range of travel expenses redeemable as Book any Way travel is impressive.
• With the accelerated earn rate of 6 points per dollar resulting in a 3% return on groceries and dining, I’ve appreciated having the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card in my wallet at restaurants that don’t accept American Express (Cobalt and Scotiabank Gold cards that both earn x5 points on dining). 
• TD has a no-fee credit card (TD Rewards Visa Card) that earns TD Rewards. This presents an option to product switch from the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite (or any other credit card earning TD Rewards) to protect your points and keep a TD Rewards account active.
• TD has a generous approach to product switches that encourage clients to try different credit card products. Some switches provide access to full promotional benefits. In addition, there are cases where clients have been able to hold more than one TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card at the same time.
• For credit card cancellations and product switches, TD offers prorated refunds of annual fees.
• The TD All-Inclusive Banking Package presents an option to obtain an annual fee rebate.
• TD’s EasyWeb account management system is efficient and user friendly. After product switching or applying for a new TD credit card, I’ve had the card, with the credit card number, appear in my account within a few hours. On a product switch, the ‘switched-from’ card can be used the following business day to earn points in the ‘switched-to’ card’s rewards program. This is handy to start working on the new card’s Minimum Spend Requirement without having to wait for the new card to arrive by mail.    
• There will be others who don’t agree but in my opinion, of the ‘big five,’ TD has the best customer service. For the most part, I’ve found Customer Service Representatives to be helpful, patient, and well informed. Those I’ve dealt with have been more than willing to follow up on requests, listen to, and consider, my interpretation of terms and conditions when it differs from theirs, and seek information from advisors and supervisors.
• To extract maximum value on travel purchases and redemptions, customers need to use Expedia For TD. When purchasing travel from other providers (at an earn rate of 2 points per dollar), and redeeming points using ‘Book any Way’ at the lower redemption value, each point is valued at only 0.8 cents (or 0.8% return).
• At the present time, the program doesn’t have a flight rewards chart where it could be possible, as with other reward programs, for members to extract greater value when redeeming points for flights. For example, the CIBC Rewards (Aventura) Flight Reward Chart offers the potential of a 2.2% return.
• For more information on the CIBC Rewards program, see When travelling the world on miles and points, is the CIBC Aventura program worth it?
• Expedia for TD’s Virtual Assistant works well on uncomplicated bookings such as obtaining a refund before the fully refundable date. However, in the case of complications, the Virtual Assistant is hopeless. For example, in Warsaw, the guide on a scooter tour was a no-show on the day of the tour (so it was past the refundable period) and trying to get the Virtual Assistant to retrieve the booking was impossible, despite inserting my answers to each question asked.    
• As a rewards currency, TD Rewards has limited value. It’s not convertible to any other program, and it has a fixed maximum value of $0.05 per point.
• While obtaining a fee rebate is an attractive proposition, doing so on a TD Aeroplan-branded credit card might make more sense for Aeroplan account holders. Aeroplan is capable of delivering much greater value than TD’s fixed-value system.
• I’m not fond of having two-tiered redemption values for travel purchases. Other in-house programs such as Scene+ make no distinction between travel booked through the program’s travel portal, and that from another provider. Redemption values are the same.
• For more information on the Scene+ program, see What’s the best use of Scene+ when travelling the world on miles and points?
• If a customer has two credit cards earning TD Rewards, it’s possible to merge the points into one account but it must be done by an agent. Unlike other programs such as RBC Avion, it can’t be done online. And disappointingly, fewer than 10,000 TD Rewards cannot be moved from one account to the other. 
• The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card doesn’t stand out among its competitors. It’s competing with travel credit cards that offer lounge membership and complimentary passes, companion/buddy passes, NEXUS fee rebates, free checked baggage, concierge services, and no FX (foreign exchange) fees. However, as mentioned earlier, the annual $100 travel credit helps fill a much-needed gap in its attractiveness as a travel credit card.
• The insurance benefits are on par with other premium credit cards. Personally, I’ll never use them. For emergency medical insurance, an annual multi-trip plan from an insurer of my choice is a better fit for my age and travel style. The trip cancellation/interruption doesn’t apply because a covered trip is one where “the full cost has been charged to Your Account and/or using Your TD Points.” Like many other travellers, my trips are funded from a variety of sources using a mixture of miles, points, and cash.
• It’s both a blessing and a curse but I’ve been surprised by the types of charges flagged by TD’s fraud detection program. This results in a rejection of the charge and a freezing of my credit card until it’s sorted.

The fact that TD has hitched its rewards wagon to Expedia makes it an interesting proposition. I’m impressed with Expedia For TD’s online portal for booking and redeeming points for travel (and changing a reservation or cancelling via the Virtual Assistant), and the First Class Travel Visa Infinite’s x8 points multiplier on Expedia for TD bookings. For heavy Expedia users, it’s an attractive addition to a credit card portfolio.

I’ve been impressed by recent promotional offers with annual fee waivers and sign-up bonuses of up to 135,000 points. It demonstrates that TD is interested in attracting new customers. To keep them, TD could be more creative with additional travel benefits. Reinstating the option for cardholders to convert TD Rewards to Aeroplan would be a welcome start.

TD needs to increase the value of Book-any-Way redemptions, and introduce an online system for applying points against those purchases. While the Scene+ coding system for travel purchased from other providers isn’t perfect, their system is capable of presenting the vast majority of travel purchases to users for redeeming points online. TD needs to craft an online redemption system that’s as user-friendly as their booking system.

As a fixed value program, TD Rewards can’t match the value achievable with programs such as Aeroplan, British Airways’ Avios, and other frequent flyer programs. But, with the extensive inventory of travel products bookable at Expedia For TD, and the range of travel expenses redeemable as Book any Way travel, it can certainly occupy a very useful secondary corner of a diversified miles-and-points portfolio.

I’m curious if the prices are jacked a bit through the TD Expedia site. For example, I looked at the Park Lane Hotel in Manhattan. For a five night stay in a 1 Queen Bed City View room, , TD Rewards Expedia site said it would be $2222.97, all taxes, fees all in. Looking at the same room through hotels.com or Trivago, I got the same room, all in price of $1723.72/$1743 respectively. When I apply my current Rewards amount of $836 against the $2222.97, I’m left paying $1386.97, which is only around $336 less, even though I used $836! Is Expedia always more expensive? I looked at more than a few other hotels and they are all much cheaper on hotels.com and Trivago.

Thanks for dropping by. While I never experienced price differences between Expedia and Expedia For TD, some people have reported differences, both in inventory and prices. I’ve just done a search for a five-night stay at the Park Lane Hotel in Manhattan (October 12 to 17) and found the same price at Expedia, Hotels and Booking. I couldn’t access Expedia for TD as I no longer have a TD Rewards credit card. Each of the three sites showed a regular price of $466/$468 and a discounted price of $372 for a total price of $1860. It sounds as though Expedia for TD hasn’t adjusted the regular price yet. What I would do is call Expedia for TD and ask them to match the Expedia price (if that’s what you find for your dates on expedia.ca). Good luck!

Excelent article!

Can you clarify when you got the $100 credit? The “in a calendar year” part confuses me. If I booked accommodations via ExpediaForTD over $500 for the first time this year (March 2023), will I get the $100 travel credit right away? within this year? or Jan 2024?

The  TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite  is TD’s flagship credit card. It doesn’t earn you as many TD Rewards points as the TD Platinum Travel Visa card, but it’s arguably more popular. I suspect the reason it’s such a popular card is that you can get the annual fee waived every year if you have a TD All-inclusive plan. Even if you don’t have that plan, the annual fee for the first year is usually free.

The standard welcome bonus for cardholders is typically worth 20,000 points, but TD often runs promotions where you can earn an additional 40,000 – 80,000 TD Rewards points as long as you meet their minimum spend requirement. Since one TD Reward point is worth 0.5 cents each, that’s $500 in value you’re getting if the welcome bonus is worth up to 100,000 points. It’s definitely worth monitoring the current TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite offer as they can sometimes be incredibly valuable.

It’s worth mentioning that the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card is one of the eligible TD credit cards that can earn you Starbucks Rewards partnership. All you need to do is login to your TD app, tap My TD Rewards, the select Starbucks from the partners list.

If you prefer a card with no annual fee, there’s the  TD Rewards Visa Card . It earns you 2 TD Rewards Points for every $1 in grocery purchases, restaurant & fast food purchases.

Final thoughts 

Despite the lack of redemption options with your points, TD Rewards is still a decent travel loyalty program. Points are easy to accumulate and are easy to use with no blackout dates. Without any transfer partners, TD will always be one of the less popular bank loyalty programs. Many consumers want options. Being partnered with Expedia is great, but giving consumers less value when they book their own travel is a bit ridiculous. Oddly enough, the TD mobile app doesn’t connect you right to Expedia for TD.

We redeemed ours for Home Depot gift cards and got $175 off a Weber BBQ and now husband just got the card and we will book our interisland Hawaii flights with the bonus points. Straightforward program and easy to use.

Gift cards are such a low value, I’m surprised you guys used your points for that.

Great review Barry. However, I consider the combination of the Scotia Passport Visa Infinite and Scotia’s rewards program far superior because of the absence of foreign transaction fees. I think that’s paramount when selecting a travel rewards card (and its associated rewards program) because you are obviously interested in travel and presumably some portion of your travel is outside of Canada. If you’re retired like we are and spend a good portion of your year outside the country, those 2.5% (or higher) fees add up quickly and can dwarf the $100-$200 in annual card fees. The bottom line is everyone should run the numbers based on their own spending patterns to determine which card and rewards program will deliver the best value. In our case, it wasn’t even close.

In my ranking of all the programs, I have TD at #6 and Scotia at #3 so I agree with your assessment. Although TD doesn’t have a card with no forex fees, there are many cards without an annual fee and with no froex fees so I don’t consider that a major deal-breaker.

Hi Barry, I agree that it shouldn’t be a must-have “deal-breaker.” But I do believe forex fees is something people should definitely be taking into account when estimating total return value and comparing travel cards and travel rewards programs. For some who only spend two weeks outside Canada every year, it won’t make a big difference, but they shouldn’t ignore it.

I really love your articles.

Like Mike said, there are programs out there that are better than this for a lot of people. Really read the small print before choosing. I completely agree on that foreign exchange thing. It’s got me really looking at the Amazon credit card for Canada right now because TD is really biting me on that.

I’d love to see you write a piece comparing the travel dollar values of these ‘point collection programs’ (for example: td versus scotia versus pc).

Although maybe you have and I just haven’t found that article yet.

Although I haven’t compared any programs head to head, I do have reviews for almost every individual program. I also have a general article ranking all of the programs.

https://www.moneywehave.com/canadas-bank-travel-rewards-programs-ranked/

[…] TD Rewards is a good program and I recommend it to anyone who wants an easy program to understand. However, TD Rewards still ranks low compared to others for a few reasons. Although you can redeem 200 points for $1 off ExpediaForTD, you need 250 points for $1 when using the Book Any Way feature which decreases the value of your points. […]

How to use your TD Rewards Points for a fall getaway

3 minute read

With the hustle and bustle of summer in the rearview, fall is the perfect time for a getaway to make the most of this gloriously cozy season.

While you might not have a big vacation scheduled, even a last-minute getaway to take in the fall foliage or a day trip to a nearby pumpkin patch can benefit from a little bit of planning. Whether planned or more spontaneous, one thing to consider before you head out, is checking your TD Rewards Points in your TD app to see if you can redeem them for your vacation.

(To find your TD Rewards Points on your TD app, go to your credit card account in-app and look under the Rewards section, which is marked with a gift icon).

Even if you forget, look out for digital "nudges" in your TD app that act as reminders about using your points with a range of TD loyalty partners, including: Starbucks, Amazon and Expedia For TD. The nudges are designed to provide you with personalized suggestions based on your spending habits.

For instance, if you shop at Amazon.ca frequently, and have TD Rewards Points to redeem, you might get an in-app nudge informing you that you can use your points towards your next Amazon.ca purchase with Amazon Shop with Points.

"We are always focused on digital innovations that help us get to know our customers better, so we can provide them with the right information at the right time. Our hope is that digital nudges create value for our customers, in a seamless, helpful way," says Imran Khan, Head of Innovation at TD.

This fall, whether you're planning a last-minute getaway or a staycation, here are some ideas for how you could use your TD Rewards Points:

Booking travel

Fall weekends are precious – long weekends, even more so. So, if you're planning to escape for a few days, you can redeem your TD Rewards Points at Expedia For TD, a travel site exclusively for TD Travel Rewards Credit Cardholders, where you can book hotels, flights, car rentals and more.

What are your points worth for travel? You can redeem 50,000 TD Rewards Points at ExpediaForTD.com, which is equal to $250 towards your next hotel, flight or travel-related purchase. [i]

Last-minute essentials

Picture this: you're packing for an autumn cottage weekend away when you realize you forgot to buy hiking boots, a thermos (for hot apple cider) or another outdoor essential. Instead of scouring nearby stores before you leave, you decide to get your goods delivered to your door.

If you shop via Amazon.ca, through Amazon Shop with Points, you can redeem your TD Rewards Points at checkout. Each increment of 10,000 TD Rewards Points is worth $33 off your purchase.

On-the-road treats

For many, the first stop on any trip – whether you're traveling by air, car or train – is to Starbucks. You can gift yourself a little something extra by redeeming 4,000 TD Rewards Points for 400 Starbucks Stars, equivalent to two lattes or two hot breakfast sandwiches. [ii]

Even if you're not ready to use your points, TD Rewards cards linked to your Starbucks® Rewards Account earn you 50% more TD Rewards Points and 50% more Stars on eligible purchases or Starbucks Card reloads using the Starbucks app.

[i] TD Rewards Points must be redeemed in minimum 200-point increments for travel purchases charged to your Card that are booked online or by phone through Expedia For TD. For travel purchases charged to your Card that are not booked through Expedia For TD, TD Rewards Points must be redeemed in minimum increments of 200 or 250 points.

[ii] see starbucks® rewards terms of use for details on redeeming stars for rewards, see you in a bit.

TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card review

This premium TD card lets travellers redeem flexible rewards through a partnership with Expedia.

With a plethora of travel-focused credit cards on the market, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card may not be the obvious choice—especially considering how many Aeroplan cards TD currently has on its roster. That said, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card is worth considering. Why? It boasts a flexible redemption program and a partnership with Expedia. Cardholders get access to Expedia For TD online portal to redeem rewards for flights, hotels and car rentals on expediafortd.com. 

Add to that comprehensive insurance coverage and generous earn rates and the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card becomes a solid choice for avid travellers.

TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card

• Annual fee: $139 (annual fee rebate—conditions apply to qualify)
• Earn rates: Up to 8 TD Rewards points per $1 on travel; 6 points per $1 on groceries and restaurants; 4 points per $1 on recurring bills; and 2 points per $1 on all other purchases
• Welcome offer: You can earn up to $800 in value, including up to 100,000 TD Rewards Points and no Annual Fee for the first year. Conditions apply. Account must be approved by June 3, 2024. Plus, you get an annual birthday bonus of 10% of your previous year’s points (up to 10,000 points).
• Annual income requirement: Personal income of $60,000 or household income of $100,000
• Point value: 1 TD Rewards point = $0.005 when redeemed for travel via Expedia For TD or $0.004 when redeemed through other providers and websites

• Interest rates: 20.99% on purchases, 22.99% on cash advances, 22.99% on balance transfers

The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card

• Three things you need to know about the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card
• How to redeem your TD Rewards
• What are the best ways to benefit from this card?

Are there any drawbacks to the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card?

4 things to know about the td first class travel visa infinite card, 1. the you earn points under the td rewards program.

T he TD points system is easier to understand than the point system for the bank ’ s Aeroplan credit cards. Your Point values stay the same no matter where you ’ re flying, so it ’ s easy to work out how much they ’ re worth. Plus, TD Points can be redeemed on any airline, not just Air Canada or Star Alliance Partners. While Aeroplan Miles are valuable, if you prefer simplicity the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card might be more up your alley.

2. Your points go farther when you book with ExpediaForTD.com

If you already use Expedia to book your travel, this card is a savvy choice. When you book travel online through Expedia For TD, you earn 8 TD points per $1. 

3. The card comes with a generous welcome bonus

You can earn up to $800 in value, including up to 100,000 TD Rewards Points and no Annual Fee for the first year. Conditions apply. Account must be approved by June 3, 2024..  Plus, earn a birthday bonus of up to 10,000 rewards points (conditions apply). You can also receive a $100 TD travel credit when you spend at least $500 at Expedia for TD. 

4. You’ll get great travel insurance

The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card comes with up to $2 million of travel medical insurance coverage for the first 21 days of a trip. Trip cancellation, trip interruption, common carrier travel accident insurance, travel assistance services, flight delay insurance, auto rental collision insurance, and delayed and lost baggage insurance round out the card’s benefits. For a premium rewards card, The TD First Class ’ s insurance is fairly standard, however; so, if you ’ re looking for more comprehensive credit card insurance , you could consider a card like the National Bank World Elite Mastercard, * which comes with up to $5 million in out-of-province-of-residence medical/hospital insurance for trips up to 60 days (if you ’ re under 54).

How to redeem your TD Points:

You can redeem your TD Points for travel in two ways. The best—and most valuable—way is through the Expedia For TD online portal, where you can redeem 200 TD points per $1 in travel credit (0.5%) and pay the balance of the cost (if any) using your credit card (you’ll also earn Points on this spend).

Your other redemption choice is the “Book Any Way” option, which lets you book via other travel websites; however, your bookings can cost up to 25% more if you go this route. When using “Book Any Way” you’ll redeem at 250 TD points per $1 (0.4%) applied as a statement credit on your first $1,200 in travel purchases and 200 TD points per $1 (0.5%) for your travel purchases over $1,200. In comparison, with Expedia For TD, you’ll get a better and more consistent return of 0.5% on all your travel spending. 

In both cases, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card allows you to redeem for any seat on any airline. Additionally, you can redeem points for rewards in small increments (minimum 200), so this means you don’t need to build up a large pool of points before you’re able to apply them towards travel. 

Finally, through the TD Rewards site, you can shop for items such as a Vitamix blender, a Dyson vacuum or gift cards. However, you won’t get the same value as you would booking travel. For example, a $50 gift card at Best Buy will cost you 20,000 TD points, whereas you can use the same amount of points for $100 in travel on the Expedia For TD portal.

How to optimize the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card

Ultimately, your best bet is to redeem points for travel from ExpediaForTD.com . Generally, prices on the website are similar to those on the main Expedia website, and you’ll be able to redeem at the rate of 200 points per $1. If you redeem points for travel outside of the TD portal, your points can lose up to 25% in value; however this could be a smarter route if you find a really good deal on another travel portal. 

If you do find a better hotel or flight deal elsewhere, you have the option to price match, but there are some restrictions: you must have booked within the last 24 hours; your travel plans must be at least 48 hours away; and travel dates, and flight and hotel classes must all be the same to submit a claim.

Does the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card have travel insurance?

With this card you’ll get an extensive suite of travel insurance coverage, for big and small emergencies. For frequent travellers and those who cross the border often, this is a must. The card includes travel medical insurance of up to $2 million of coverage for the first 21 days. (If you or your spouse are over 65 or older, you’re only covered for the first four days of your trip.) You’ll also get up to $1,500 of trip cancellation insurance with this card up to a maximum of $5,000 for all insured persons. For trip interruption insurance, you get $5,000 per insured person, up to $25,000 for all the insured people on the same trip.

You’ll also get common carrier travel accident insurance, emergency travel assistant services and delayed/lost baggage insurance (up to $1,000 per insured person if your baggage is delayed for more than six hours or gets lost ultimately).

There is a minimum personal income requirement of $60,000 or a household income of $100,000. However, this is a common requirement for many cards in the same category. 

Other cards offer more incentive to spend in categories like groceries, dining and entertainment. The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card only offers three times the Points earn on travel booked through the Expedia For TD portal (4.5%)—everything else is at the base three TD points per $1 (1.5%) rate. To compare, the Scotiabank Gold American Express has a five-times Points accelerator on restaurants and groceries (5% per dollar).

Finally, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card doesn’t offer airport lounge access , and you’ll be charged foreign transaction fees . So, if you like to use airport lounges, or you often find yourself shopping in a foreign currency, you may want to consider a card that offers those perks. 

Bottom line

TD’s unique partnership with Expedia, accelerated earn rates and incremental points redemption structure make the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card a worthwhile consideration as a travel credit card . However, the biggest boost in earning points you’ll get with this card is by booking with ExpediaForTD.com. If you don’t want to be locked into booking that way, you may want to explore other travel card options.

One of the TD First Class Infinite VISA Benefits List include : “ Earn 3 points per $1 on everything spent “ Could you clarify why on my recent Bill Statement, showed $5 earned for 1,178 points Wouldn’t 1,178 points translate into 1178 divided by 3 ?

I have this card, but rarely use except for buying something on a trip to get the insurance coverage. The issue I have is I like to book my travel through web sites like tripcentral.ca (better for packages), VRBO (for condo rentals) and booking.com (much better selection), so only end up rarely using Expedia for TD and end up getting 1.2% back on my purchases, unless I want to wait until I have over $1,200 of points and then buy a major trip, getting 1.5% on the part over $1,200.

So, its pretty good and the insurance is good, but its not as great for travel as they like to claim.

I have had this card for about 2 years now and I am so dessapointed with it. I will stop using it from now on and I will tell everybody I know NOT to get this card or anything related to TD Bank. I changed to this card because they assured me I have full trip coverage with it so I booked my last vacation with it and considering that I did not get what I wanted on my trip they will take some responsibilities and give me some refund after my claim was with them for 8 months. They kept asking me for documents that I provided every time they asked and at the end they kept asking for documents I already submitted three times before. TD is a disgrace for Canadians. I wish the government take actions and do a deep audit on these guys. I will slowly withdraw everything I have with TD to go to another bank. Anything is better than this. Please people, do not do anything with this bank and definitely nothing with this credit card. I am been having issues with this bank since 2008 and it’s time to move on to a better service.

This is the all lying I have issues with that I lost my luggage on my way back home and my flight cut and delayed for 5 months they don’t cover anything’s this massage is for the Visa highly in-charge manager if you guys don’t find me solution I have to take legal step and say bye to TD my whole family since they denied my claim it’s really really broke my heart. I was really trust them never ever again.

I want to redeem my points from my business travel which I have accumulated as I switched to the rewards cash card now .How do I do this June 15,2022

This card is excellent and works well if you are looking to use it for travel specifically. I find it comes in handy when even needing a car rental or a hotel stay on the fly.

We have this card and use it often, we had enough points to use it for 5 hotels on our roadtrip last spring (booked them through expedia). I guess it all depends on what you plan to do. We often go on little roadtrips to Canmore, Banff or Jasper and use it to stay there as well so it really saves us for accommodations. Also not having to get separate car insurance for rental cars is a big plus.

I just got back from Cuba. Unfortunately my flight from Ottawa to Cuba was delayed by 4 hours. And from Cuba to Ottawa for 14 hours. I want to be reimbursed because I bought a ride on my The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite. Please give me the contact information to whom to apply for compensation. Thank you,

I have First Travel Visa card. My trip is more than 21 days. How can I get travel insurance for the days after first 21 days?

This is incorrect. the $100 travel credit is only for hotels and vacation rentals ALONG with flights. Not if your travel consists only of flights. It is a Hotel credit and NOT a travel flight credit. Beware! This credit card is absolutely useless.

Expedia for TD is an Expedia platform for TD Bank credit cardholders.

TD cardmembers log into the Expedia for TD platform to browse travel deals and redemption options, which include vacation packages, accommodations, exclusive deals and more. TD points are worth more when redeemed through the Expedia for TD platform. Purchasing travel through the platform with a TD credit card earns accelerated TD points.

Expedia.ca vs. Expedia for TD

Expedia.ca is an online travel agency that can be used to book airfare, cruises, hotel accommodations, car rentals and more. 

Expedia for TD is an Expedia platform exclusively for customers with credit cards that earn TD Rewards. TD cardholders who earn cash back or Aeroplan points with their cards can’t access the platform.

Other notable differences between Expedia for TD and Expedia.ca? The former offers accelerated TD Rewards points for money spent on travel purchases through Expedia for TD and a dedicated support team for TD customers, while the latter does not. 

Outside this, Expedia for TD is not unlike its parent platform, Expedia.ca. Cardholders can browse and book flights, hotel stays, car rentals, cruise tickets and more.

TD Rewards points are most valuable when redeemed through Expedia for TD. The platform, accessed at expediafortd.com, also offers an accelerated earn rate of up to 9 TD Rewards points per $1 spent on travel bookings. 

Additional Expedia for TD perks include its price-matching policy on hotels and travel packages and dedicated 24-hour customer support. There are a couple of drawbacks, though. The platform is only for TD credit cardholders who earn TD Rewards points. Plus, there are limitations to Expedia for TD’s price matching — time restrictions apply, and refunds are only issued on flight and hotel packages.

How to earn TD rewards 

Some TD credit cards earn TD Rewards points. Earn rates vary.

TD credit cards that earn TD rewards

The following TD credit cards earn TD Rewards points:

• TD Rewards Visa Card. 
• TD Platinum Travel Visa Card.
• TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card.
• TD Business Travel Visa Card. 

For those interested in earning the most TD Rewards Points per dollar, the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card and the TD Business Travel Visa Card carry the highest earn rates. This makes them the best cards for individuals and businesses, respectively.

TD credit cardholders will get the most bang for their buck by redeeming their TD Rewards points through Expedia for TD.

Expect to get around 0.25 to 0.5 cents per TD Rewards point, according to NerdWallet analysis.

The value of TD Rewards points varies depending on the redemption method, but TD Rewards points are at their most valuable when used to redeem travel offers through the Expedia for TD portal. Cardholders can expect to get 0.5 cents per TD Rewards point for travel purchases made through Expedia for TD. 

Cardholders must have at least 200 TD Rewards Points — worth $1 — to make a redemption through the Expedia for TD portal. 

To redeem your TD points on the Expedia for TD platform:

• Register your TD Rewards account on TD’s website. 
• Log into Expedia for TD with your username and password. 
• Find the travel offer you’d like to purchase. 
• Book your offer through the online Expedia for TD portal or by phone.
• Redeem your TD Rewards Points when you book.

Expedia for TD redemption options

The Expedia for TD booking portal offers numerous redemption options: 

• Car rentals.
• All-inclusive vacations.
• Train travel.

How to maximize TD Rewards points

Even if your TD points don’t entirely cover the cost of your booking through the Expedia for TD portal, paying the difference with your TD credit card earns you accelerated points — which gets you closer to another free or discounted travel experience.

Let’s say you book a $500 Air Canada round-trip flight to the Dominican Republic through the Expedia for TD portal. You use 50,000 TD Rewards points towards the booking. This reduces the cost of your trip by $250. You put the outstanding $250 balance on your TD credit card.

Since you can earn up to 9 TD Rewards points for $1 spent through the Expedia for TD portal, the $250 you put on your TD credit card earns you 2,250 TD Rewards Points — which is a value of $11.25 back in your pocket.

We compared the best options in Canada.

Yes. Customers can take advantage of price matching through the Expedia for TD portal — also called Expedia’s Price Guarantee.

How does price matching work?

Expedia will refund the difference if you find cheaper travel packages or accommodations after booking through the Expedia for TD portal. But there are two important caveats. Expedia will only issue a refund if you find:

• A less expensive flight and hotel package within 24 hours of booking. 
• A cheaper hotel rate up to 48 hours before check-in.   

Pros and cons of Expedia for TD price matching

• Get refunded the difference between your booking and a cheaper travel deal.
• Limited to hotel stays and flight and hotel packages.
• Time restrictions apply. 

Once you’ve registered your TD Rewards account on TD’s website, you can log in to Expedia for TD from:

• tdrewards.com.
• expediafortd.com.

Expedia for TD customer service 

Expedia for TD has a dedicated support team for TD credit cardholders. The team can be reached by phone at 1-877-222-6492 24 hours a day. 

3 tips for using Expedia for TD

Make the most of your TD Rewards points and the Expedia for TD platform with the following tips:

1. Book through Expedia for TD instead of TD’s “Book Any Way.”

Your TD Rewards points are worth 0.5 cents per point when redeemed for travel purchases booked through Expedia for TD. You can also book travel experiences through third-party travel websites and agencies — what TD calls its “Book Any Way” redemption option — but your points won’t go as far. Expect to receive 0.4 cents per point for the first $1,200 of any Book Any Way travel redemption request, and 0.5 cents per point for any amount over $1,200 for the same Book Any Way travel redemption.

2. Use your TD credit card to cover outstanding expenses from Expedia for TD bookings.

You’ll earn TD Rewards points at an accelerated rate when you use your TD credit card to cover outstanding expenses on the Expedia for TD platform. Different cards earn points at different rates:

• TD Rewards Visa earns 4 TD points for every $1 spent on travel purchases through the platform. 
• TD Platinum Travel Visa earns 6 TD points for every $1 spent on travel purchases through the platform.
• TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite earns 8 TD points for every $1 spent on travel purchases through the platform.
• TD Business Travel Visa earns 9 TD points for every $1 spent on travel purchases booked online and 6 TD points for every $1 spent on travel purchases booked by phone through the platform.

3. Don’t wait to shop around.

Expedia for TD will only honour its price-matching policy under specific circumstances. If you’ve booked a flight and hotel package, you have just 24 hours to submit a refund request to Expedia for TD if you find a cheaper package. Hotel bookings have a more generous timeframe: Expedia for TD will issue a price-matching refund up to 48 hours before check-in.

• Redeem TD Rewards points for flights, hotel stays, car rentals, cruise tickets and more. 
• Earn up to 9 TD Rewards points for every $1 spent on travel purchases through Expedia for TD.
• Receive an annual $100 travel credit when booking through Expedia For TD. (Limited to TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Cardholders).
• Take advantage of Expedia’s price-matching policy to secure the lowest rates for hotels and hotel/flight packages.
• Dedicated Expedia For TD support team available 24 hours a day.
• Limited to TD credit cardholders who earn TD Rewards. 
• Price matching limitations apply.

Frequently asked questions about Expedia for TD

TD points never expire so long as you remain a TD cardholder with an account in good standing. If you don’t earn or redeem any TD Rewards points for at least one year, your account will be deemed inactive. At this time, TD may close your account and offer you the opportunity to redeem your TD Rewards points by a specified date.

There’s no cost associated with accessing the Expedia for TD platform. The travel package options on Expedia for TD are no different than those offered on Expedia.ca, but only certain TD credit cardholders can gain access to it.

10 ways to use points to book vacation home rentals

W hen traveling with your family or a large group of friends, vacationing "together" and not in separate hotel rooms using your points and miles can get a bit complicated. Luckily, there are vacation rental platforms aside from Airbnb and Vrbo that will let you use your hard-earned points and miles to book entire homes instead of paying cash.

Vacation home rentals have always been a great tool to have in your travel toolbox. At TPG, we've been curious about the best ways to use your points to book a vacation home rental because plunking down cash gets old in a hurry.

And just like choosing the best home rental for you takes some skill, figuring out the best way to redeem your points for a home rental isn't as simple as reading an award chart and hitting "book now" — but it absolutely can be done. Keep reading to find out the best ways to use your points to book vacation home rentals.

Redeem fixed-value points for vacation rentals

If you have a credit card that earns fixed-value points in your wallet, such as the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card , those are some of the best types of points to use to pay for vacation home rentals.

For example, the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card earns 2 miles per dollar on all purchases and allows you to redeem those points at 1 cent each toward travel. However, it may not be the best use of Capital One miles, as TPG values them at 1.85 cents apiece ; nevertheless, you can redeem those miles for travel . But be aware that while vrbo.com sometimes codes as travel, it doesn't always code as travel, depending on who owns and manages the property, so proceed with caution in that regard.

Another card that is great for stacking points for home rentals? The Bank of America® Premium Rewards® credit card . For TPG Director of Content Summer Hull , this card turned out to be a points powerhouse for home rentals and any other charge that didn't fall under any one particular umbrella.

It earns 1.5 points per dollar on non-bonus charges and 2 points per dollar on travel and dining. But it gets better if you bank with Bank of America, as your deposits with the bank can earn you up to a 75% bonus on points earned with this card via the bank's Preferred Rewards program .

Since I'm in that top tier for banking with Bank of America, it bumps up my earnings on everyday charges to about 2.63 points per dollar and on travel or dining to 3.5 points per dollar. This is now one of my go-to cards for everyday spending, and I'll be able to just cash the points out at 1 cent each to offset what I spend on a home or cabin rental — or anything else.

Use Marriott points with Homes & Villas

If you have Marriott Bonvoy points or a credit card that allows you to transfer your points to Marriott (as with American Express Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards ), another avenue for redeeming points to book a vacation home rental lies with the Homes & Villas by Marriott program .

Related: Best Marriott credit cards

Your per-point redemption value may not be as great as some other uses, so do the math before redeeming. However, if you have Marriott points you aren't sure what to do with, it can be an easy way to lock in a fabulous home rental using your hotel points.

Just know that while you are booking via Marriott's program, your individual bookings will be turned over to property management companies that handle it from that point on.

Related: Best credit cards for home rentals

Use Wyndham points with Vacasa

At the beginning of 2021, Wyndham announced a partnership with Vacasa , a vacation rental management company. This partnership allows you to use your Wyndham Rewards points to book over 15,000 vacation rentals around North and Central America.

With Wyndham's fixed award chart — even on home rentals — it'll cost 15,000 Wyndham points per bedroom per night. That means a studio or one-bedroom costs 15,000 points per night, a two-bedroom costs 30,000 points per night, a three-bedroom costs 45,000 points per night and so on. This can actually be a much better value than using your points on a traditional hotel room, as some properties cost as much as 30,000 points per night — for just a studio hotel room.

Redeem: The ultimate guide to earning and redeeming Wyndham Rewards

The process, however, to book a vacation rental with your points is quite cumbersome. While you can search for homes and availability directly on the Vacasa website , you cannot confirm a reservation immediately, like you normally can with a regular hotel room. Instead, you need to call Wyndham at 800-441-1034, and the representative will ask you a bunch of questions, including your Wyndham Rewards number and your desired location.

If you already know the home rental you want to book, you can also give them the listing number straight from the Vacasa site. Having a home rental already in mind will definitely speed up the process.

Related: Redeeming Wyndham points with Vacasa is a great deal — with a catch

Unfortunately, due to blackout dates, there's no way to know whether or not a property is available to book with points in the reservation calendar, and you'll need to wait for the Wyndham representative to look up your specific dates.

TPG contributor Jennifer Yellin has booked different vacation homes at ski resorts in New England and is about 50-50 with properties being able to be booked with points (even though they are all available for a paid reservation).

Once you confirm a vacation rental and date that works, the representative will lock in your reservation with points and explain the cancellation policy. When using Wyndham Rewards points for a vacation rental, you'll typically have to cancel at least 30 days in advance. As long as you cancel within the window, all points will go straight back to the account they came from and there are no additional fees. However, if you cancel within the 30-day window, you'll forfeit all points redeemed.

Truthfully, if you are looking to redeem your hotel points for a vacation rental, this has the potential to be one of the best programs out there. Especially since you can easily earn Wyndham points from Wyndham Rewards credit cards or transfer your Capital One miles to your Wyndham account at a 1:1 ratio.

Redeem Ultimate Rewards points for vacation rentals

Just as you can redeem your Chase Ultimate Rewards points for as much as 1.5 cents each when booking flights and hotels via the Chase travel portal, you can do the same for home rentals. Though Chase no longer has a designated "vacation rental" tab on its travel portal dashboard, if you search under "Hotels," type in the area, dates and number of guests, you will see a list of hotels as well as a few vacation home rentals.

Unfortunately, there is no filter to search for vacation homes so you will have to scroll, but the option is available on the Chase travel portal.

For example, I searched for a "hotel" in Park City, Utah, for Jan. 8 to Jan. 10, 2025, for six guests and found a vacation rental available for $454 per night (not including taxes and fees).

If you hold the Chase Sapphire Reserve® , you can redeem your points at a fixed value of 1.5 cents each, which means one night at this vacation property (before taxes and fees) will cost you about 30,266 Ultimate Rewards points.

Use Hyatt points with Hyatt Homes & Hideaways

Hyatt launched its own collection of rental homes in late 2023, branded Homes & Hideaways by World of Hyatt. At the moment, Hyatt appears to only offer popular locations within the U.S. (think Hawaii, Florida, Colorado, etc.). Hyatt will eventually expand the program to international destinations.

Booking a stay at one of these properties confers many of the same perks as staying at a Hyatt hotel, such as 5 base points per dollar (plus any elite status bonuses), elite night credits and the ability to earn American Airlines miles when linking your account. You can redeem Hyatt points for award nights at any of these properties — though, after experimenting with some dummy bookings, the value proposition doesn't seem to be as high as with traditional Hyatt hotels.

Because you can transfer both Bilt Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio, it's not difficult to accrue the points you need for a free night.

Homes & Hideaways gives customers a fixed purchase rate of 1.2 points per dollar. For example, if you book a three-night stay at a villa for $5,000, expect to pay about 416,667 points. TPG values Hyatt points at 1.7 cents apiece; therefore, if you redeem your Hyatt points for a Homes & Hideaways vacation rental, you are not maximizing their value.

Related: How to earn points with the World of Hyatt program

Use Choice points with Bluegreen Vacations

Choice Privileges partners with a vacation rental company called Bluegreen Vacations through its Ascend Hotel Collection . It operates primarily within the U.S., though there's one property in Aruba (you can see the map of all locations on Bluegreen's website ).

Bluegreen Vacations offers cheap award prices for surprisingly large accommodations. Take a look at the above example of a three-bedroom suite for just 25,000 points at the Bluegreen Vacations Christmas Mountain Village in June 2025.

You can earn Choice points with Choice credit cards , or you can transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Choice at a 1:1 ratio (though we don't usually recommend this; Amex points can be worth considerably more than Choice points, depending on how you use them).

Use Amex points via Amex Travel

American Express Select Homes + Retreats is a fancy collection of homes that are available exclusively to those who hold The Platinum Card® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express . You can either purchase your stay with your eligible Platinum card to earn 5 points per dollar (on up to $500,000 of these purchases per calendar year, then 1 point per dollar), or you can use Amex points to book your stay.

Click on "Vacation Rentals" on your Amex travel dashboard to see the select locations and properties available.

At present, American Express Select Homes + Retreats are only found in 12 areas around the U.S. You'll find them in the Panhandle area of Alabama and Florida; Maui, Hawaii; Charleston, South Carolina; and other popular vacation spots. As is the case with many programs on this list, Amex's offering isn't even in the same galaxy as Airbnb in terms of volume — but it provides properties you may not be able to find elsewhere.

Here's the issue: You'll only get a value of 0.7 cents per point for your booking. TPG considers American Express Membership Rewards points to be worth an average of 2 cents each — meaning this is a horrendous use of points in most cases.

Related: Redeeming American Express Membership Rewards for maximum value

Capital One vacation rentals

Capital One recently unveiled two collections of vacation rentals: Premier and Lifestyle . The collection(s) you can access depends on which Capital One credit card you hold.

If you've got either the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card or the Capital One Spark Miles for Business , you can access the Lifestyle collection. If you've got either the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card or the Capital One Venture X Business , you can access both the Lifestyle and the (more fancy) Premier collections.

When you book a stay through Capital One, you'll receive bonus perks such as experience credits ($100 for Premier Collection stays, $50 for Lifestyle Collection stays), early check-in and late checkout when available, and destination experts to help you round out your trip. You'll also earn 5 miles per dollar when paying for your stay — or you can redeem Capital One miles to offset your bill at a rate of 1 cent per mile.

Again, using rewards to pay for your reservation isn't ideal, as TPG estimates Capital One miles to be worth 1.85 cents each toward travel when transferring to airline and hotel partners.

Related: Redeeming Capital One miles for maximum value

Redeem points for Airbnb gift cards

Another way to redeem points for a home rental is to cash in your points for a home rental gift card. Airbnb gift cards, for example, are available via several points programs.

Be careful when redeeming points for gift cards, as it isn't always the best return per point, but it is an option. With Chase Ultimate Rewards , you can redeem points for Airbnb gift cards at 1 cent each. While that is not a great use of points if you're looking to maximize your points, which TPG values at 2.05 cents apiece, it is an option if you want to save on your next vacation rental.

This story talks a bit more about redeeming points for gift cards and similar cash-out options.

Related: Maximizing points and miles to beat inflation and save money

Don't forget multibedroom hotel residence options

While not a home rental in the true sense, don't forget that multiple hotel loyalty programs have redemption options for multibedroom residences. You probably won't have a backyard and a pool with these, but the odds are good for a kitchen.

Many hotel chains, such as Hyatt and Marriott, offer multibedroom residence-style redemptions, though availability is more limited than when booking a standard hotel room. Keep in mind that Hyatt allows you to book suites online with points , too.

Bottom line

Your points can get you more than just flights and traditional hotel rooms — you can use them to book vacation home rentals.

If you know for sure you want to go that route, now may be the time to take stock of your wallet and see if you have the best card for this goal. The perfect program for you may vary as there are many different credit cards and loyalty programs that will allow you to use rewards toward that next vacation home rental.
