that's why I prefer to redeem for cash voucher or cash back cards

Are you serious? Go redeem for stuff like hyper market or restaurant cash vouchers and can offset GST too.

you must be joking, you know how to come here but you don't know how to redeem? Even thought you may be fooling around, I will give you the benefit of doubt

ascend, thanks for pointing out the promo.

I just posted my comments at wordpress click here to read about HSBC 20% cash back for F&B at Megamall

Apply and then let us know whether HSBC records are linked to a master system and applicable worldwide

haha, because these people don't know what they getting and not credit card wise. It's branding and marketing

Thank you for sharing above. How can HSBC do such a thing. When was the amount charged to your card i.e. how long after you were issued the card?

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

They should sent you the code/password via SMS. Yah, call CS to confirm.

Press for BM, might be faster and get to speak to a Malaysian

Congrats! No minimum amount, swipe RM1 also can. All you need is to swipe 12 times in a year

yah any transaction is considered a swipe. Not considered swipes are balance transfer and installment repayments.

HSBC overseas rates is one of the highest from my previous experience. Best you use Maybank Visa or MasterCard.

Click here to see HSBC was higher by 1.32% compared to CIMB and OCBC

Give me FREE for Life MBF World MasterCard or VI also I don't want, hahaha

As for CL, I can tell you HSBC VS CL starts from RM5K!!! This is because there were some previous Plat holders were automatically upgraded to VS. However, most HSBC VS card holders I know of (which is very limited) have higher CL than HSBC Premier World MasterCard.

As for VI - it stands for Visa Infinite. And why I don't want (not that I can qualify for it), is as mentioned by hye - perception.

FYI, in the first quarter of 2011, HSBC launched their Visa Signature where the annual income requirement is RM100K. Prior to the VS, HSBC Plat annual income requirement was also RM100K but because they were "hadap" for customers, one did not need to earn RM100K to get a HSBC Plat (applies to all banks back in 2011 where one can apply for a credit card based on existing card).

And HSBC Plat card benefits are so so only and in order to maintain their customer base, they upgraded all Plat cardholders to Visa Signature which is deemed as a Premier Card (but benefit also so so only).

Click here to read my artilce titled HSBC Visa Signature - Gone is the Visa Plat published back in March 2011 at My Credit Cards blogspot.


Yes, agree fully to the above. Now banks are stricter in awarding CL to be in accordance with BNM wishes. Which is a good thing.

Vestor,

CL has nothing to do with Card Type in general but based on the bank evaluation on the customer's worth. Like I mentioned, previously, my HSBC Plat (of course now upgraded to VS) had a higher CL than those who has AUM of minimum RM250K with HSBC and automatically awarded their HSBC Premier World Credit Card. Up to today, I never had a HSBC banking account, so you go figure it out.

But if you want to know what is the minimum CL for Premier Credit Cards, click below link to see my table. However, the data for the table was obtained thru my no budget propriety research back in November 2011. Since then, HLB have reduced the annual income requirement for the Ex-EON VS from RM180K to RM80K and therefore the minimum CL should also decrease as of today. And it was reported by another forummer here that his CL for his MBB VI is RM20K!!! When I talked to MBB CS back then, I was told initially the minimum CL for MBB WMC and VI was RM70K but later was informed it was RM50K.

And did you know that RHB Tesco credit card CL go can up to RM100K
