Actually the Rm25 in my post refers to the government tax per card imposed from this year.
As the Amanah yearly renewal is next Feb, I cancelled earlier to avaoid paying this

Sorry, I overlook for your previous previous post which is refer to sst..
Did they don't offer you something to offset the rm25?

Hi guys, wanna ask how hard is it to cancel HSBC cards? Just got my amanah card but I applied for the free lazada voucher only. It is a really bad card IMO. Plan to cancel it after I got the voucher

not hard. just call and cancel.

Not difficult, just call CS to cancel.

Trying to apply for the HSBC card with Lazada promo but have failed after 3 attempts.

First and second rejection, my company not more than 2 years.

3rd rejection, company don't have landline number.

FML.

Then u rather don't apply.
Oversea bank normally need lot of verification one..

I am also thinking this method too to get lazada RM500 voucher....
Ytd when the HSBC staff called me to confirm the cc application, I asked her whether reloading e-wallet can or not, she say reload e-wallet is not eligible transaction
Are you sure reloading BigPay consider eligible transaction? I wish to use this method too.

Yes, voucher already received.

Read the T&C. If you want to be safe, just do normal spending. You only have 60 days and voucher comes after that. So you won't know until you try.

My experience with HSBC staff wasn't that good. In the end, customer (me) is always wrong.

And I got some cash back from something their Support said I am not eligible. To cut the story short, Support said that I need to spend 2k at only the participating merchants to entitle for the 8% cash back. I beLIEveD them initially, but decided to let their system do what they are programmed to do. My amount was small, so didn't bother much.

Reputable bank, but Support needs a serious overhaul.

Already applied the HSBC Platinum card on 26th Nov, receive call on 27th Nov for verification. Now still no news. How long usually? Dunno if receive card and activate after 31st Dec still got the Lazada voucher or not

You can call them up and check. Still, you need to spend 1k-2k (depending where you applied from) within 60 days before you get the voucher.

Thanks guys for the replies.

Hopefully this is legit because that is the last step I would go if I can't get RM2k in 60 days

Yes, the only transaction I did with this credit card was RM2001. No other transaction done.

LOL well played

last time the offer 12,000 loan still available or not upon card approval

I didn't see any extension of that offer, but there is a term that says entitles to 3.88% one time only CIP after getting new card. Maybe can check with CS to double confirm

Thank you, glad to hear that. So you spent RM2001 in Bigpay too?

Yeah, I think the staff should get updated with current trend too (Bigpay, boost), she kind of stun a moment at first when I ask whether reload e-wallet can or not.

I read all the T&C but there is no term mention about types of eligible spending.

Don't have that big amount (1k) to spend so far, even if I have, I still prefer transfer to Bigpay and use BP card to do normal spending. Can get extra Big points wat, haha.

i actually read the term and condition about spending eligibility. NOT stated that top up e wallet is in INELIGIBLE category. In fact top up e wallet either boost / big pay / lazada should consider as online transaction.

u can read it here https://sp.hsbc.com.my/microsites/lazadacb2...zada_2H2018.pdf

well let see what will happen later. but surely at least we can counter back with the cs coz have black and white
