HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

[Mark3000]

Definitely 60k. It should be stated in your HSBC Bank statement.

Sorry, my bad, yes 60K. It crossed over the 60K line on the statement early September, so it has been 7 weeks now. Is there anything I need to do or does it automatically happen after a long delay? Thanks for your help

Is this for status renewal? Or the initial status upgrade?

This is for subsequent years after spending 60K. in the year, not the initial Gold after card approval.

Interesting. I’ll tick over this in about 2 weeks. Will report back on how long it takes

Admittedly i am utterly confused by the whole 3 way relationship of hsbc, star and aeroplan.

I cancelled my card last week. Out of curisoity, But i reached the 50k or 60k spend like 2 months ago, shouldnt my status have been extended by another 12 months?

As of now its still showing as end of 2024 (i thought status was cancelled upon card cancelaltion)

Maybe they extend it on your anniversary date? Ie, in lieu of your annual fee, they see the 60k spend, and notify Aeroplan accordingly? It might not be ‘rolling’ like QF/VA etc.

Yeah that sounds very likely

Very surprised as i saw some ppl who had their status cancelled the day of cancellation

I read a few posts that seem to suggest the star alliance account with the points remain open even though the card itself is closed?

That's really interesting - I just checked the T&Cs, as I am about to cancel - and the T&Cs clearly say that the Star Alliance Rewards program depends on you holding the HSBC card.

We reserve the right, in our discretion, to suspend for such period as we consider appropriate and/or to permanently terminate your membership in the Program if:

1. You stop being a holder of the Card

I am thinking that I will transfer anyway, rather than risk losing all my points.

I'm still rocking my gold status after cancelling the credit card for 3 weeks now. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
