TD has started moving some TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite cardholders up to Visa Infinite+, Prince of Travel reported on October 12, 2026. The new perk is 10 GB of free GigSky global data each year. If you travel abroad for work, this is a perk you will actually use, but only some cardholders are getting it so far.
What is TD changing on the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite?
TD is moving some cardholders from Visa Infinite to Visa Infinite+, and the perk that comes with it is 10 GB of free global data each year through GigSky. That is the news as reported. Nothing in the story says the Aeroplan side of the card changes, so there is no sign your points earning is affected.
A quick bit of background. Visa Infinite is a premium Visa level in Canada, and Visa attaches some of its own perks to each level, separate from what the bank adds. The plus tier sits above it. GigSky sells travel data you load onto your phone, so you can get online abroad without your home carrier's roaming plan.
Who gets moved to Visa Infinite+?
Some TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite cardholders, not all of them. The report does not say how TD picks who moves first, or when the rest will follow. So do not assume you are in.
Card changes like this often roll out in waves. The simple move is to watch your mail and your TD account for any notice that mentions Visa Infinite+. If you see it, you are in. If you do not, sit tight. There is nothing to apply for and nothing to call about based on what has been reported.
How much is 10 GB of free data worth on a work trip?
More than most card perks people brag about. That is our opinion, and here is why. A lot of card perks sound great and get used once a year, if that. Data you use every single day you are abroad.
Think about how a work trip actually goes. You land, you need maps, you need a ride, and a client wants an answer before you reach the hotel. Without data, you hunt for airport WiFi or pay your carrier for roaming. Canadian roaming plans usually charge by the day, and on a longer trip that adds up fast.
10 GB a year will not cover heavy video streaming on every trip. Video eats data fast. But for email, maps, messages and ride apps, it goes a long way. For someone who takes a few trips abroad a year, that is real money staying in your pocket.
One practical note. Travel data plans like this load onto your phone, often as an eSIM. Make sure your phone supports that and is unlocked before you count on it at the gate.
Should you get a TD Aeroplan card just for this?
No. Free data is a nice extra, not a reason to apply. Only some current cardholders are being moved, and the story does not say new cardholders get Visa Infinite+ right away.
Pick an Aeroplan card on how well it earns points toward the flights you actually take. That is where the big value is, especially if you want business class seats on Air Canada or its partners. If you already hold the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite, this is free value landing on top of what you already have.
Honestly, this is the kind of perk banks should add more of. It is simple, it costs you nothing, and it solves a problem every flyer has. Fewer shiny gimmicks, more things you use.
If you run a business, your company spending is probably already earning more than you think. You can see what your spending buys in business class trips.
