Bros, about the Agoda discounts using HSBC card - does this only work for PARTICIPATING hotels? Maybe that's why some people got discount, and some can't seem to get it. I can't see any discount reflected when I tried with Empire Hotel Subang. Have used the link from Home & Away website. Anyone have any luck with this?

I just tried to book the above hotel (Empire Hotel Subang) and discount is reflected after i keyed in my credit card number.



And by the way, the HSBC discount applies to all hotels sold by Agoda.

Damn... I just booked without the discount. Gah. Does the page automatically update itself once you enter an HSBC card? Bro can share the link or PM?

The discount is shown as soon as I finished keying in my credit card no. I accessed the Agoda page through HSBC Home & Away page

Hi Guys. How the points system work for overseas and local purchases of a Premier credit card? Can we make it cash back system instead?

Received RM150 cashback from 10% Cashback Promotion that ran from Dec to Feb - but only after a few calls and escalations.

Yes. My card is Premier Master Card Amanah Credit Card-i . So does it mean that my system is already a cash back system?

Correct...

applied the card for its 8% cash back.....but havent go n pick up the card yet...kinda put off by the annually call to hsbc to waive the annual fee. worth the fuss?

It's Free for Life... Annual Fee Waiver (Subject to min 12 swipes per year)

8% for weekend if spend 2k above... but only those on weekend. Really need to be clever is drawing the right card at the right time.. lolx

just started to work at hsbc. now they said each staff need sign one CC.

well, seniors told me no need but in the end signed as well.

now do u think it's good to cancel or just use it?

got government tax for rm50?

If you are not going to use it, then cancel it.


Yes. There is.

hmm, i thought of cancelling. but since alot says got cash back, macam quite good right.

but i thought of CC = commitment..so.

Beware of participating in any cashback promotions. Know their T&Cs inside out. You may or may not get the cashback even though you think your transactions should qualify for them. The problem is there is no independent external audit of these promotions.

That is why I love my Maybankard 2 AMEX and OCBC TMC - cash back guaranteed, subject to monthly quota of course.

But if you use the HSBC on the "first" day of the week running, the chance of getting the cash back is high.

cancel it


As for the annual fee waiver. Yes it's possible to get the waiver, but once the annual fee is on the statement, you need to make the payment including the annual fee to avoid the interest charges. And you can only see that the money been credited back into the account on the next statement. As for now, as far as I know, no more "automatic waiver" once you hit 12 swipes. All you need to do is wait until it appear on the statement, call, ask for waiver, pay first see money next month

Yes correct - you are more likely to get the cashback if you make the qualifying card transactions on day 1 of the promo participating week. What i was saying is even if you do so, you may not get the cashback simply because there was a 'error' made by the card issuer. That's why there should be some sort of third party audit for check and balance.

Has anyone received the 5x, 8x or 10x points yet for the Premier/Visa Signature Promotion?

I haven't received any points yet since April.
