the sales person did mention it when they promote the CC

not tough la, one month once

U can equally count as 1month per swipe. But they said at least 12swipes per annum to waived the annual fees ma.

ya, 12 is min

Is the monthly statement show the GST was waived?

anyone know when will hsbc send us new card before expiry? let say my exp is 09/11 when would i expect to receive new card. Thanks

if waived, they will show

You should get it the month before expiry i.e. August. You sure look so far ahead in life.

good what, always see to future

just want to plan all my stuff properly la

can anybody explain hsbc latests cash back promo https://www.hsbc.com.my/1/PA_1_1_S5/content...k_promo_tnc.pdf
as usual need to register through sms, and fussy eligible criteria, why dont they make it simpler, sigh

simple, these are the tricks or gimmicks to "con" customer to spend more using hsbc credit card

Better consult the SC for better info.

That's the whole idea ... consumers spends like mad with the hope to get some prizes but later make a mistake.
Fussy criteria is to ensure spending happens ... T&C are written with the bank in mind, not the consumer.

I normally avoid these promos as I don't feel the bank is sincere. Just want me to spend my hard earned money using their card. So I just say NO!

I couldn't say it any better. HSBC is up to their usual bag of cheap tricks, yet again. This particular 'promo' requires swiping the card at least 7 times during May, and each swipe must be RM50 or above. Waste of time, IMO. Mind you, it's not a guaranteed cash back either.

China man business...sigh..

As far as I know, HSBC Credit card is one the lousy credit card in the market in term of rewards, points, cash back...etc

very agree with u, all their promo need to read tnc carefully and just to find out the cashback is on first come first serve basis, im thinking to change to other ccard

the foreign currency for hsbc card is very high..best rate i encounter so far is PBB CC..

Been waited 2 weeks also haven get my HSBC CC. Think should b rejected

that's true, almost as high as AMEX when I did a comparison in 2009. After that I avoided using HSBC for overseas transactions. Click here to read more about it at my blog.

The lowest conversion rate is still Maybank Visa or MasterCard.

If you really want to know the status, call Customer Service. Click here to see list of contact numbers for credit card issuers or banks.
