HSBC Cards currently has 2 enticing promotions. For the HSBC TravelOne Card, you can receive an Apple iPad 10th Gen 10.9″ WiFi 64GB (worth S$529) or Dyson Supersonic (worth S$699) or S$375 eCapitavoucher or 24K miles (worth a round trip to Tokyo, Osaka) or Apple Watch Series 9 (worth S$604.50). The HSBC TravelOne requires an accumulated spend of S$1,000 by the end of then next calendar month plus payment of annual fee.

For the HSBC Visa Platinum or HSBC Advance, receive an Apple iPad 9th Gen 10.2″ WiFi 64GB (worth S$508.30) or Dyson V8 Slim Fluffy or 18,000 Max Miles or S$350 eCapita voucher. For these cards, only a spend of S$500 by the end of the next calendar month is needed and there’s no requirement to pay annual fee. 

New HSBC credit cardholders (those who have not held an HSBC card in the past 12 months) who apply for the HSBC credit card and get approved to receive one of the abovementioned gifts (you have the option to choose which gift you want). You need to spend S$500 by the end of the next calendar month from the date of card approval. This promotion is valid if you sign up until 20th June 2024 11:59pm.

Annual fee is waived for the first year for all the cards listed below except for the HSBC Revolution Card which has its annual fee waived perpetually and for the HSBC TravelOne Card which requires payment of annual fee to receive the gift. For the other cards, HSBC usually waives the annual fee for succeeding years as long as you actively use the card but if not, you can always cancel to avoid paying the annual fee. You can even cancel the credit card after receiving the sign-up gift or cash reward if you wish.

Once your card is approved, remember to spend at least S$500 or S$1,000 (depending on the card chosen) by the end of the next calendar month following card account opening date in order to receive the gift or cash reward. You will get an email within 90 days with instructions on how to claim your gift. If you are looking for ways to spend S$500 within a month, there’s that time-honored method of buying vouchers from NTUC Fairprice and paying for it with your credit card.
