Thank you very much for the info.

The sales rep lied to me when I was signing up. He said nowadays no more such rule and you can use it anywhere...

I didn't care bout that much though. I'm kinda interested in the cash back features. For non-halal purchases I've got my DA card for backup.

*edit*
Btw I finally got my HSBC Amanah Plat card today. At least its the same CL as my DA gold card... not some silly RM3k

Why I haven't receive the new Visa Plat Card? The online system already showing that my card is Visa Plat. Everyone will get a new card for replacement?

Last month I mentioned that I did not receive my previous statement and forgot to make payment. The late penalty and interest charges were subsequently waived after I requested for it. Today realised again my payment is due but did not receive the Statement again. Then I suspect maybe is it because I registered for an online account and therefore no more paper statements will be issued. Just call CS and was told that YES, because I signed up for online account, no paper statements will be issued anymore a month after the online account is activated. How come I did not read this when I sign up for the online account Now have to really remember to check online statement every month Luckily this month no payment due but got credit since I overpaid last month and got the penalty and interest charges waived.

Hi, any of you managed to get the GST waived? I contacted HSBC but was told that I still need to settle it even if I cancelled my card since it's already been billed.

I was informed that some other banks offered to waive the GST but no luck for me with HSBC

Thanks in advance.

u will get 1-2 months before ur expiry month.

example ur card expiry 12/16 then u should received ur card this month or next month.

hsbc charged gst usually 1 month after annivessary.
so probably getting waived is almost impossible.

why u not cancelling ur card earlier?

yah, agree with you.

Two month before we want to cancel the card, we should stop using it. Once settle in full, call CS and cancel before anniversary. Comes anniversary, no issue on GST as card already cancelled.

haih.. HSBC upgrade me from gold to Plat last week with CL 8k... @@

8k is so good. mine only 3k...... but i will cancel all other card and keep HSBC bcoz i feel HSBC got the most discount.

currently i have Eon Bank GSC card, UOB one card and HSBC visa.

uob one card give more discount than hsbc lah ~

Any good about HSBC credit card? I'm think of canceling mine... Cusimwr service suck.... No any promotions or special rewards. Unless in mid valley or 1 utama.... Any comments?

I was think of Maybank twin card... More rewards & discount for petro...

Yah, I was thinking of cancelling as well. But was too late. Gotta pay GST. Use for another year then I shall terminate.

dont forget to redeem points before terminate the card.

btw for gst is 9500 points ~

+1
I am cancelling mine as well. Customer service is relatively poor vs some other banks.
Benefits r so-so. Redeemed 100K+ points after 1 year+ of usage.
Bye bye HSBC

12,500 points for rm50 cashback.

so u can get at least rm400

i'm using hsbc since 2006 if not mistaken.
previously all cashback promo i got it.
but latest raya campaign, from rm50 max, i can only 'win' rm12

I am also having half a mind to cancel my HSBC. Given the size of HSBC, their benefits is little to none.

In overall, HSBC benefits n customer service are sucks....

Too bad, as a worldwide bank carried bad services... Wat a funny organization...

Would the HSBC Visa Signature 5X Rewards Programme be extended after 31 Dec 2011 ? If not, HSBC Visa Signature has not much benefit.

Do HSBC not send you SMS once statement is ready? I always get notifications from HSBC for : Statement Ready, Outgoing MEPS payment, Overseas cash withdrawal confirmation etc.

y hsbc doesnt have any debit card ah? and is there any hsbc cc for students?
