A few weeks ago we let you know about some issues one reader of ours was having with his new TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card and we are happy to report he is reasonably pleased with the outcome:

In the bonus offers section check out the Discounted Saver Award offer from United
to fly to Japan from Canada. This is a really good deal if you can take
advantage of it and go to Japan in April. You will however incur some

rule. In reality only travel in the last week of April or being a United
Elite member will help you avoid those fees.
