This card was useless anyway except for partner offers. Let's just hope HSBC Cashback is not effected in the same way.

It was good for people interested in Avios. 1.33% till 4L and 6.66% from 4-6.81L.

Avios is at 1:1 for HSBC Visa Platinum.

 

[nirav193]

Just checked. They have nerfed this as well without any announcement 🤦‍♂️.

Do you get reward points on EMI transactions using this credit card? EMI is done at the Point of Sale, not by converting a normal spend to EMI

Start with sending a sms CLI to 57570 from your registered number. In case you have a pre approved offer, you'll instantly come to know.

Or else you'll have to contact them and ask for manual LE by submitting income documents supporting the LE.

Close this card and reapply. I have seen multiple instances with people that have a 5+ year old credit card relationship and with no LE/Card upgrade offers.

I never managed to get it work. Probably very limited quota and expires within 2-3 hours itself😅.

Yeah i was trying to search in bms website but now i can see it in bms app..its quota based for first 1000 users on every Saturday, so technically if you are able to book the tickets on every Saturday then you can avail 4 times

Post reintroduction of partner transfers (now even more than before) isn’t this card revalued? Accor itself now makes this lucrative enough not to mention other Airmile programs availability.
