When it comes to choosing the right TD credit card, you’ll probably want to consider the following:

Requirements: More premium TD credit cards have high requirements for both income and your credit score. Knowing which cards you’re likely to qualify for will inform what you should apply for.

Annual fees: Consider what annual fee you are comfortable paying. If your card earns rewards or cash back, make sure the projected earnings will outweigh any annual fee.

Rewards and cash back: You’ll need to decide whether you’d like to earn points or cash back from your card. From there, choose a card with an earning scheme that aligns with your spending. For instance, if you commute to work, a card that earns points on gas would probably be a good fit. If you tend to spend more on travel or groceries, look for a card that rewards that spending.

Interest rates: You should always aim to pay off your credit card in full to avoid interest charges. However, if you do tend to carry a balance, look for a card with a low interest rate.

Perks: Different cards come with different features and built-in extras. If you love to travel, look for a card that offers airport and hotel perks or travel insurance.
