TD Cash Back Visa Infinite Review 2026: Rates, Fees & Is It Worth It?

Updated

The TD Cash Back Visa Infinite is a solid cashback card for TD banking customers who want everything in one place, but it’s objectively outperformed by the Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite on pure cashback value. At 3% on groceries, gas, and recurring bills versus Scotiabank’s 4% on those same categories plus dining, and $139/year versus $120, the TD card earns less and costs more. Where the TD card wins is convenience: if you already bank with TD, having your cashback card integrated with EasyWeb and your other TD products has real value. The welcome bonus (often 10% on your first $2,000) also makes the first year attractive.

TD Cash Back vs Alternatives

The comparison table below tells the story clearly: the Scotiabank Momentum beats the TD card in every earning category. Groceries: 4% vs 3%. Gas: 4% vs 3%. Dining: 4% vs 1%. General spending: 1% vs 0.5%. The TD Cash Back’s 0.5% general rate is particularly weak — you’re earning essentially nothing on everyday purchases outside the bonus categories. If you’re not committed to TD banking, the Scotiabank card is the better choice. If you are a TD customer, ask about bundle discounts that may waive or reduce the annual fee.

Who Should Get This Card

ProfileRecommendation
TD bank customer who wants simplicityYes — banking integration is a genuine convenience
Maximizing cash back returnNo — Scotiabank Momentum earns more across every category
High-spender on groceries and gasMaybe — but the 3% cap vs 4% at Scotiabank adds up
Low annual spending under $15KNo — a no-fee card like the Tangerine Mastercard earns more net
New to credit cardsNo — the $60K income requirement is high; start with a no-fee card

Insurance Coverage

The TD Cash Back Visa Infinite includes solid Visa Infinite-level insurance:

InsuranceCoverage
Purchase protection90 days coverage for theft or damage on items bought with the card
Extended warrantyDoubles manufacturer’s warranty by up to 1 additional year
Auto rental collision/loss damageCoverage when you decline the rental company’s CDW and pay with the card
Travel medical insuranceUp to 21 days per trip (under age 65)
Trip cancellationUp to $1,500 per person
Trip interruptionUp to $3,000 per person
Common carrier accidentUp to $500,000

The auto rental coverage alone can save $15–$30/day when renting a car. The 21-day travel medical insurance is standard for Visa Infinite cards and sufficient for short vacations, though you should supplement it for longer trips or if you have pre-existing conditions.

The Bottom Line

The TD Cash Back Visa Infinite is a decent cashback card for TD loyalists, but the Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite earns more across every category at a lower annual fee. Get this card if you value TD banking integration and the welcome bonus is strong; otherwise, the Scotiabank Momentum or a no-fee card like Rogers World Elite delivers more value.
