Nothing on HSBC website's Latest Promotion page   

When it started? I used my HSBC on 26th but no sms fom them.

For online transactions only, or all? Other banks need to follow suit fast.

Talking about hsbc "insincere", just now some hsbc guy name "sathia" from hsbc kl called me and offered
20k 0% personal loan.. Saying 0% to
Convince me. And i ask him to calculate how
Much installment 10k for 5 years, he said its RM273.
Try to calculate on the spot and
Got the RM16380 total amount payable for 5 years.
A total nonsense. When i told Him about the total, now hes saying got 1% intrest. When i ask is
It 1% per year.. He said yes. Then he said 1% per month. Later i said let me think ( which is a BIG no)
Conclusion is never trust them directly. A lot hidden chargers. Just sharing!

Dear Gen-X,

Yesterday I notice my CC account have been charge for the annual fees. Search high & low for the 12x swipes in HSBC website, but unable to find anything about the auto waived. not a single words about 12x swipes in HSBC website. I remember last time I saw it stated 12x swipes.

As mentioned, HSBC CS told me to pay first for the annual fees.
My statement Date is 27/Aug and the annual fees charge on the same day. So I have to pay the annual fees by 16/Sep. I will wait till last few days before the due date. Hopefully HSBC will credit back RM 600 to my CC account before my statement due.

Hope all existing HSBC credit card holder will take note on the annual fees. Check your Statement / Online@HSBC.
If HSBC really sincere to give Free For Life annual fees, then it should be mention in HSBC website / product disclosure sheet on the auto waived with min 12x swipes.

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.

Follow up to my earlier post.

Well, I got my latest statement and they charged me both the annual fee and GST 

Call them up and explained to the person on the line that I called up last month and I was informed that my annual fee will be waived. She then gave me some excuse that they experiencing high call volume and someone will call me back between 3-6pm to attend to my complain. So, I said what rubbish, I want the annual fee waived immediately. I was then transferred to another person and she confirmed I did call last month on the annual fee waiver and requested that the GST be offset from my points. She said that my annual fee will be waived. So I said I will deduct RM650 from my Statement Balance and she advise me to pay the RM600 annual fee and later they credit back. Once again I said NO. I want it waived immediately and she said OK.

Anyway, the person on the line did say that next year annual fee will be waived with 12 swipes.... I am seriously considering cancelling my HSBC Premier Credit Card before my card anniversary next year if they continue to have this stupid policy of charging us the annual fee first and making us call them for the waiver. Why can't they just keep to their word that the annual fee will auto waived with 12 swipes           

The only good thing about the HSBC Premier Visa Signature is that I get Toll FREE line, so there is no cost on my part to call them.

It's been renewed. Will run from 2nd April 2014 to 31st December 2014.
