Watch out for
- The 0.5% base rate is among the worst on this page
- The 1% bonus rate caps the uplift at roughly $250 a year across all five categories
- No travel insurance, no rental car coverage, no mobile device coverage
- Dining, travel and drugstore all earn 0.5%
- TD publishes no fee schedule for this card, so the foreign transaction fee is genuinely unknown
- An archived TD welcome guide still advertises $5 million of travel medical that is not a benefit of this card

The earning fine print
This is the no-fee card, not the Visa Infinite. Everything is roughly a third of the Infinite: 1% on the bonus categories instead of 3%, 0.5% base instead of 1%, and a $5,000 cap per category instead of $15,000. Five categories at $5,000 each is $25,000 of bonus-eligible spending a year, which caps the 1% uplift at roughly $250. Dining, travel and drugstore are not bonus categories. The "year" runs from after your first statement period in January to the end of your statement period the following January, so it is neither the calendar year nor your anniversary. Minimum redemption is $25.
The welcome offer
- Welcome bonus
- $20 after you spend $0, within 1 month

What the offer actually requires
$20 on your first purchase and $80 more after $1,500 of spending in three months. Not available if you activated or closed a TD Cash Back Visa in the last 12 months, or if you are transferring an existing TD card into this one. Allow eight weeks for the credit. No end date published.

What the benefits really mean
No travel insurance of any kind, no rental car coverage, no mobile device coverage. Purchase security and extended warranty are the only benefits, and they share a $60,000 lifetime limit across every TD card you hold. TD publishes no income requirement for this card, which is unusual and deliberate: the same comparison table shows $60,000 for the Infinite version. Foreign transaction, cash advance and NSF fees are blank because TD publishes no fee schedule for this card and defers everything to a disclosure statement issued at approval. Do not assume the Infinite card's 2.5% applies. Quebec residents pay 21.99% on cash advances rather than 22.99%. An archived TD welcome guide still describes an older three-category structure and advertises $5 million of travel medical: that is TD's separately purchased optional insurance, not a benefit of this card.
Our verdict
Fine if you already bank with TD and want a free card in the drawer. The $100 welcome offer is real money for no annual fee, and there is no income requirement.
As a card to actually use it is beaten comfortably by the Tangerine, which also costs nothing, lets you pick your own 2% categories and does not cap them. A 0.5% base rate means you lose money every time you use this card outside its five narrow categories.
