Too bad. I'm using Esso Mobil.

Also note that the MPower Visa is not eligible for a lot of the Smart Privileges and Home N Away promotions. One that comes to mind is the discount for Agoda.

Smart Privelleges is only applicable to conventional card?

jz to check, the 5x is limited selected places at RM1k per day or per month?

Guys, i have a HSBC Gold Mastercard (Conventional type), i looked at the HSBC current promotion for the HSBC Mega Sale Cash Back Programme. So for me to eligible to join the programme, i need to SMS for registration, then successfully registered. After charged my card, should i proceed way to acknowledge them i was purchasing something or just let it and their system will know my status purchase?

I don't know where u get those information, but im amanah card holder so far no problem, i got all the priveleges that mentioned in their smart privileges booklet and home and away promotion,, but for oversea privileges i don't know but i think no problem just can't do non halal transaction only and no compounding interest on outstanding balance, else same like conventional ccard

just got upgraded from HSBC Visa Gold to Platinum as per the card upgrade exercise. should be receiving the new card soon.

I a bit blur here, you are not the first one to mention that you be upgraded to Plat. But there is no more HSBC Plat cards. Did you ask if you getting the Amanah card?

Just checked my account, my old Visa Gold changed name to Visa Platinum. Still got Visa Platinum???

the Plat was brought back as Classic cards will no longer be issued. the minimum will be Gold, which will replace the Classic. hence, previous Gold cardholders will be automatically upgraded to Plat (only applicable to Visa).

it was announced by the bank a month ago.

refer to What's New on www.hsbc.com.my

HSBC Credit Card Upgrade Exercise
Upgrade exercise for existing HSBC Classic Visa/Mastercard credit card & HSBC Gold Visa credit card in Aug 11

Yah, several people mentioned in the previous post. Would appreciate if any of you guys can post a picture of the Plat card when you receive it. And remember to photoshop it first, i.e. remove card numbers and name and expiry date.

will do so once i have received the card by end of the month as was informed.

Hey guys.. whats the difference between amanah and conventional card? All i heard is just one is point card and the other is a cash back card. Is there difference in privileges in local as well as overseas?

Afaik, the major drawback of amanah card is you can't purchase or spend it on alcohol products and the credit limit is much lower than the standard card (this info from my friend).

from what i heard from my friend, most of the non-halal place he go all cant use

I seeking their confirmation .

One of the sales person told me that they changed it to allow just recently.

Anyone tried recently and got rejected?

If you got other cards, it doesn't really matter. But if say you only have a single amanah card, and you go clubbing and when the bill comes the card is rejected, how?
