not bad for new sign-ups

although rebate is quite good, there are 2 problems:

1) Promo ending 30 June 2014. 2.5 months remaining, so getting the card now may not worthwhile/

2) The maximum Cash Back on Petrol, Groceries and Dining is capped at RM4,600,000 throughout the Programme Period and will be awarded/given out on a first come, first serve basis. <-- No one knows if the 4.6mil payout already depleted or still available for this 2 months.

the cashback promo is a time-limited offer.

this card also the best dining card http://www.imoney.my/articles/best-dining-credit-card

The 8% Cash Back Programme will tentatively end 30 June 2014. Better not getting this card now since you'll got around 2 months to use it anyway. Better wait till near end June if the program will extend further. Seems like HSBC is extending the promo every 6 month.

yes, need to read thru the T&Cs multiple rounds, especially the allocation.

after reviewing much of this HSBC Amanah Mpower's 5%/8% CB, I'm wondering ... how long does the bank credit back the cashback to you?

let's say for June 2014's spending, when will the cashback be credited back?

reason i asked this is because of the T&Cs stated this:

"within 6 weeks after the end of each Participating Month and will be reflected in the following month’s bill statement."

since each Participating Month is full calendar month, June 2014's spending will get it's cashback somewhere around mid-August?

Thanks dear

One more quesion. How many bill cycles does it have?

errr i mean the standard billing cycle for the card, not the cash rebate

i'm more interested on the cashback offerings

kinda nice since no AF and GST for 1st year. good to be used as backup for Amex if you're used to spending during weekends and always blew up the Amex's cashback.

still tempted to fill in the form or not.

if get the cards online, this promo's rebates already cover AF and GST liao.

these cards for the promotion:


more specifically, HSBC Amanah MPower Visa (/Platinum) Credit Card-i almost similar to amex (assuming just <RM2k/mth spending and getting 5% cashback). <-- supposedly ending Dec 2014, but HSBC has been extending this for few times liao

Do check the t&c. The online signup promo got extended to 14 August.
