International travel in the upcoming year is a good enough reason.

I was in frequent communication with them over the phone - once I let them know I deposited $9k in a month I called them again, giving them reasons of why I am getting a Premier account. Days later, they approved me for Premier, only requiring 1 month of deposit. Then you will have to venture...

Sorry for the posts, I was wrong... looks like the statuses have been fully updated today. Nvm, back at 0 and still Gold... 30 nights coming later in the year. I think the 10 nights came from the old system and the 30 nights was added in with the Explorer change.

For Accor Plus Explorer, seems like the headstart on nights is now 40. Accor throwing a bone to me... only need 20 nights to get to Platinum. Tempting...

Pretty much 100% hit rate on the major supermarkets and gas stations. Also smaller grocery shops work. Havent checked cases like 7/11 convenience stores yet.

I use Google Wallet and I rang up the HSBC Premier US line. Got it working after a call.

Happy New Year everyone! Good experience with the HSBC Premier CC, no fraud blocks at all when using it in Australia even when using mobile. No declined transactions either. 3x works at ALDI and IGA etc. I guess it being a global institution helps.

I guess the free night awards from SUBs have their strengths and weaknesses. The points value ceiling is much higher but on the other hand it expires about 12 months it gets posted into the account. This is for Hyatt and Marriott cards, where 5 free nights have been done before but it is quite...

HSBC DP: Australian streaming sites should trigger the $5 USD HSBC Premier monthly streaming credit. With Kayo promos (e.g. $15 AUD for 6 months) - comes to about $7.50 AUD after all the discounts. Ozbargain :P

60k bonus points for this card doesnt seem to post as quick as before... I think the wording changed a bit. It is 2 months max after hitting the required spend now. Before it seemed to be the next statement after hitting the require spend. So I will have to see what the next statement brings.

Okay, looks like the Hyatt/Chase tie up is quite good, probably the best value under the UR program with the 1:1 transfer ratio. I guess people usually start with the Hyatt credit card and then move on to the Personal/Business cards with UR SUBs, especially the 100k CSP offer that usually...

This is for the HSBC Premier credit card

The PDF form was like the typical credit card application so it is not very long. Residential and mailing address Employment, income Non-US mortgage repayments and credit balances Few days later they asked for verification of employment. Approved after 2 days. Changed the mailing address of...

Basically a US bank statement showing the same address that was on the application. HSBC Premier AU to US is the easiest method at the moment if you arent in the US anytime soon - set the mailing address to the same one on the GT application.

Unluckily the Red Energy Bonus posted before this promotion started and probably no referral for me so that leaves me one with one category for me. OTOH the health Insurance bonus got posted at the right time. This was for 6 months of being a Qantas Health Insurance member. Thats all for this...

Decided to apply for the US HSBC Premier. International Premier members needed to apply by phone. Similar to other DPs, they sent me a PDF form and I filled it out. Once done, we send the form to someone in HSBC and then they come back and asked for a Proof of Employment, which was easy...

Okay, made more clear now so even with the Starter fare you can earn 10 SC per SYD-MEL/SYD-BNE/SYD-OOL return flight (5 SCs for each leg). So looking out for the sale starter fares (which can be $58 SYD-OOL one way) and ignoring the upfront cost, that can be $3/SC. With Flex Plus, this is...

Based on earlier posts, looks like the HSBC 3 way call method to get the address verification done with Amex no longer works and it hasn't been a thing for a while so awaiting the monthly statement.

Correct, that is what will happen. 9k deposit in and out is the best way to go.

Successfully opened HSBC AU and US Premier accounts. AU: - Deposited 9k this month, got in contact with a Premier Manager over the phone and was upgraded - On the condition that I deposit 9k+ AUD for 6 months straight. US: - Applied online through the HSBC USA app, mentioned that I was a...
