HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card Changes: Ouchy

[ecst]

It dropped a little but nothing significant and it was back up to the same level a few months later. And of course, I closed them off as quick as possible once the points/cashback etc. were paid out.

Nice work, I'll try this next month

I now apply for multiple cards at the exact same time (within 1 - 2 hrs or as quick as possible). I applied for 5 x cards + 1 personal loan earlier this year and was approved for all.

I'll be doing the same again for as many as possible that I am "due" to "refresh". The credit checks don't appear to hit the credit file instantly and appear to take hours or a day or so, so this worked for me twice so far.

How long do you wait before each application period do you do that? And which banks have approved these applications?
TIA

You need to follow the 1 from the end of that statement. One thing you'll see is

Existing HSBC customers transferring from another HSBC credit card or customers who have held a HSBC Qantas Points earning credit card within the previous 12 months from the application date are ineligible for this offer.

hmm thats a fair point, however I received an email/letter in about Aug saying that my annual fee will increase to the new product of $299,
I would assume that if im getting the new product AF then I would get the benefits too..........

Well have to have the balance at zero to close.

Is that what you mean?

Always fun closing a card via phone operator, have to tell them like x3 yes I'm sure blah blah.
