What is Star Alliance Rewards?

Star Alliance Rewards is the reward program of the HSBC Star Alliance credit card. With this card, you can earn 1 Star Alliance Point per $1 spent up to $3,000 per month, or 0.5 points per $1 thereafter. You can then transfer those points to your choice of seven Star Alliance airline loyalty programs any time you like.

Here are the programs and transfer rates:

Shortcut to Star Alliance Gold status

The HSBC Star Alliance credit card, which is only available in Australia, is popular because it unlocks a huge shortcut to Star Alliance Gold status. This comes with benefits like lounge access, priority check-in, boarding & baggage, extra baggage allowance and more whenever you fly with any Star Alliance carrier.

By simply applying for the card, and spending at least $4,000 within 90 days, you’ll get to enjoy a year’s worth of Star Alliance Gold status with your choice of participating airlines. Some of these airlines even give you reciprocal benefits when flying with Virgin Australia as well.
