Came across this thread and found it rather interesting. Is ringgitplus a safe platform?

Anyway, just apply any HSBC card and get a free tablet upon approval? I also note that even for platinum cards, rm36000 annual income is enough? shouldnt it be higher or its part of the promo?

Thanks I've just applied for HSBC Amanah Platinum. As I have sent in an application before the 28th Feb (speecial ends then), will I still be eligible for the free tablet even if approval is after 28th feb?

Also, the annual fees is confirm can be waived after 12 swipes right?

That fast meh? I applied via ringgitplus. They sent me an email asking me to fill in the form at hsbc, followed the steps. Whats next?

I see. But im just abit worried about the annual fee. Can confirm if it will be waived if swipe 12 times in a year?

Thanks. Is there a limit as to the swipe? Like do I need to swipe 12 times of at least x amount?

Btw, HSBC is quite fast. Called me today to get some details and have confirmed over the phone that 1st year annual fees will be waived and subsequent years, just 12 swipes would do. Meanwhile, they told me that application will take up to 14 days!! Will they be contacting me to get my payslip etc?

I got a call from telemarketer saying that my application has been submitted but they did not ask for any documents. Then I received another call from HSBC mobile banker asking for the relevant documents (i thought that they are the same). Later on, I received a call from the telemarketer saying my application got rejected cause there is a duplicate in application.

Now I have told the mobile banker to cancel my application and allow the telemarketer to appeal.

Is this normal or im just unlucky. I have met the criteria by alot and I dont see why I would be rejected.

I applied via ringgitplus sometime ago. I meet the criteria and have even exceeded the requirements by almost double, but I got a call saying it was rejected. After appeal and again, was told it was unsuccessful. lousy service from hsbc, I had to call them everytime and often lack of updates from them.
