Just went thru my HSBC transactions and none of them got bonus points except Purchases from Qantas marketplace, Airlines and Cruises. Transactions from Coles/Woolworths/Ampol/7Eleven all got 1x. 😢
How did you pay? In store tap? Apple Pay? Online click and collect?

Does HSBC have an option to view the MCC?
 
I see the current Hilton card SUBs run until 1/8/25 (which I assume is 8th January).

I got the Surpass this month and definitely want to get the Aspire before a big trip to WA Maldives in April but will it be pushing it to apply for either the Aspire or Basic which card before Jan 8th? I also wanted to get the Gold Charge as a lot of my spending is on restaurants globally......

NB I should have my ITIN around the end of October so wondered if I could do something like the following :

November - apply for Gold
December apply for Aspire
Jan (before 8th) apply for Basic
