Hi guys! I'd like your help to verify a few things if possible. Personally I think the promotions are quite messy hence I'm unsure of the validity of the cash cash rebate promo that was offered by the sales representative upon registration.

Scenario 1
I'm an existing Amanah card user and I was offered the conventional card with greater limit AND cash rebate of RM 150 upon spending of RM1.5k in the first month (or was it first two months).

Scenario 2
My friend is totally NTB, she signed up for the conventional since she was offered cash rebate of RM 688 upon spending of RM 6.8k in the first month (or was it first two months).

However, I did some checking last night on HSBC official site, then I realized that this required expenditure is pegged to purchase of flight tickets. Contacted my sales representative to verify and was told that this flight ticket promo is actually a new campaign that was recently launched (to top it off, the cards were registered prior to the commencement of this new campaign). Being in banking myself I know how unclear and deceitful banks can be so has anyone signed up for said promo before and have successfully gotten back the cash rebate without purchasing flight tickets?

I understand what you mean but when we actually signed up the new promo hasn't launched yet hence it isn't fair to categorize us under the new promo right? I mean it's just common sense on the sales person's part that obviously the card wouldn't reach us within a week hence it's just impossible for us to have spent that much amount of money in a short time.

Well, with that being said, Bank(s) are always right. Worst case scenario I will just treat my new conventional card as a spare. Btw, just to clarify, is the GSC buy 1 free 1 promo for the weekends still ongoing?

Cash back benefits mainly, not much but at least they do not have strict restrictions like HL Wise.

...as well as your usual merchant discounts but I guess you could refer to the site for more accurate info.
