HSBC Classic VISA and HSBC Classic MasterCard will officially come to an end come this August. HSBC took down the VISA Platinum credit card from their website a few months ago. I guess it will be added back soon.

current VISA Classic -> VISA Gold
current MasterCard Classic -> MasterCard Gold
current VISA Gold -> VISA Platinum

There is no mention what will replace the current MasterCard Gold.

anyone know anything about this?

Hmmmm ... I'm reading about it as well and that looks extremely weird. What the heck is this Fix Monthly Management Charge thing?

I may need to cancel this Amanah Plat I have then ....

no upgrade on the existing HSBC Amanah Card?

Actual management charges is an interest on outstanding balances, but islamic bank dun call it interest.

"However, please note that you will only be receiving your upgraded HSBC Credit Card when
your existing HSBC Credit Card is due for renewal (upon expiry date) or should you request
for a replacement prior to expiry. In the mean time, you may start enjoying all the upgraded
privileges with your current HSBC Credit Card. "

I guess no. HSBC Amanah never offered Classic card anyway.

Is HSBC Amanah credit card offer 0% installment plan like normal HSBC credit card?

shouldn't be problems

so meaning HSBC Amanah will not receive this upgrade exercise?

According to the statement released by HSBC, it will involve only credit cards issued by HSBC.

if maybank, normally will clearly written maybank and maybank islamic

HSBC does the same too. HSBC & HSBC Amanah.

we can still request for an upgrade right? HSBC Amanah Gold > HSBC Amanah Platinum

but subject to their review

just have a try...

Hi Guys,

I have updgraded my HSBC MasterCard GOLD (Conventional) to HSBC Advance Platinum (Conventional), but when I received the card last friday, it's HSBC Adavance Platinum AMANAH!

I do not want Amanah card, and my Advance Account is Conventional Account, not AMANAH.

Now that I called HSBC to verify, some of them said I need to re-apply again, and some said my Credit Card is actually Conventional Card in their System, but the card I received definitely have AMANAH on it!

Anyone encounter this before?

is it possible to change from Amanah to a Conventional credit card?

I just posted a short article on HSBC MPower Plat card-i at my blog. As usaul, HSBC promos are insincere and with conditions.

The 6% cash back is not a permanent card feature. The promotion ends on 31 December 2011.
The cash back is capped at RM50 per month.
The cash back is only applicable at Shell, Petronas, Caltex, Giant, Tesco and Carrefour. AND you must spend minimum RM200 per month.
If you spend between RM200 - RM3000 monthly, the cash back that you will earn is only 3% at the participating merchants.
In order to earn 6% cash back, you need to spend RM3,001 and above for all categories.

really insincere... lots of hidden terms and conditions

Thanks gen-x for highlighting

You always need to read the fine print. Don't get too excited with the bold prints and jumped in. It is a mistake many consumers would do. I was nearly fooled too when I saw the ad and the potential 6% rebate was an eye catcher.

Then when reading the fine print, saw the T&C.
