When do I get the free Hilton night certificate after opening account?

It takes around 2-plus months. You will receive an email notification when it lands. It will also show in your HHonors account

1) Not sure - but i’ve never needed one
2) You’ll probably pay slightly more in fees withdrawing Wise to HSBC. Any reason why you’re not pulling the Autopay in from Wise directly and cutting HSBC out of the loop? I don’t use autopay, but I do do an ACH pull via Amex straight from Wise
3) 8-10 weeks apparently - still waiting on mine
4) Not 100% needed ongoing - but useful to have (and often needed for future new card applications)

Does pulling direct from Wise still work for new Wise accounts that may or may not be in your name?

my understanding the new Wise accounts can not directly ACH from them - all you can do is do a test payment and see if it works - you can’t ACH transfer into our out of them but a direct payment may be seen differently and work

Ah yes I remember reading something along those lines - have had my Wise account over 10 years so guess I’m lucky
