2011 Megasale Cashback is here. Rules are different and more misrepresentations this time. Can get 50% cashback if you shop certain items, at certain time and certain week and, importantly, only if you win the 'draw'. Minumum spend per week is RM500. 50% of RM500 is RM250, but there is a clause that says you can only get back maximum RM100 per week. Go figure! HSBC, I'm so impressed by your CC marketing team! They are so clever.

HSBC megasale cashback campaign

The original T&Cs state that electricals are not considered as part of 'shopping'. Now in the revised version, the word electricals is nowhere to be found.

Campaign week 1 to week 5, the maximum cashback is RM100. Week 6 to 10 - max is RM100 as well. For VS cards and above only. Other cards get RM75 or RM50.

I registered for the campaign some weeks ago.

You would get a "Thank you for your registration..." msg from 36722 if it was successful.

Yep that's exactly what the card holders should do - buy what they need at their own convenience and not buy at HSBC's convenience (their nonsensical terms & conditions). HSBC tempts you with carrots at two times your arm's lengths.

hsbc is like that i guess.. after like 6 years my credit limit still 4k..

take citibank if want high limit..even gold card they can increase till 20k for u..lol

Try to make the statement date as same as possible so that you can remember when is your late due date to pay up all. This is what I doing now.
