5 TD FlexPay Credit Card Benefits You Didn’t Know About

a person sitting on the floor and looking at their phone.

You may know the TD FlexPay Credit Card as one of the best balance transfer credit cards on the market. It currently offers a 0% introductory APR on balance transfers for the first 18 billing cycles after account opening, then a 18.24%, 20.24%, 23.24%, 26.24% or 28.24% variable APR based on your creditworthiness.

Beyond that, TD FlexPay Credit Card benefits may seem sparse. You won’t get purchase protection or waived foreign transaction fees, and you won’t even earn points or cash back for everyday purchases.

But there are a handful of helpful benefits you may be overlooking. Let’s take a quick look at the best TD FlexPay Credit Card perks you might not know about.

Use the TD FlexPay Credit Card to pay your monthly wireless bill, and you’ll receive automatic supplemental cell phone protection. That means your card will cover the cost of damage or theft that your primary insurance (such as your personal insurance policy) will not.

You’ll receive up to $500 in coverage per claim, capped at $1,000 in reimbursements per 12-month period. You’ll only pay a $50 deductible. This is a somewhat rare benefit among no-annual-fee credit cards.

Before credit card cell phone protection, I paid out-of-pocket to insure my smartphone. Simply using the right card for my wireless bill saves me over $10 per month.

You should do everything in your power to avoid late credit card payments. On-time payments make up 35% of your FICO credit score, after all.

But if life gets in the way and you find yourself making a late payment on your TD FlexPay Credit Card, the card will waive one late payment fee per 12 billing cycles. That’s up to $40 in savings.

Again, this benefit isn’t something you should look forward to leveraging each year. To avoid late fees, it’s wise to put your credit card account on autopay for at least the minimum payment. That way, you’ll keep your account current even if you forget to pay.

Shipt is a service that specializes in same-day home delivery from over 140 retail partners around the country. Popular stores include Meijer, CVS, Ulta and Lowe’s. Shipt even gives you the option to choose “preferred shoppers” who know your persnickety shopping habits.

Membership costs $10.99 per month or $99 per year. The TD FlexPay Credit Card gives you three free months — then nine months at 50% off.

Sofar Sounds is great for concert-goers. It organizes small gigs, including music, comedy, spoken word and dance — often held in a living room or shop.

The TD FlexPay Credit Card gives you presale access to these shows, as well as one free admission when you buy at least one ticket. Uniquely, you won’t know exactly where the show will be held until 24 hours before. You can only search performances by city.

Roadside dispatch is a pay-per-use program that offers services you’ll typically find with AAA. With the TD FlexPay Credit Card, you’ll receive access to a 24/7 hotline to request winching, towing (up to five miles included), jumpstart, lockout service and more.

Just remember, (nearly) any service you formally request will cost you. Visa’s standard roadside dispatch service call fee is $79.95.

I’ve had to tow one of my cars a whopping three times in the past year. I eventually sprung for a proper AAA membership, but it was great to receive a discount on towing from my credit card’s roadside dispatch service.
