Is there any update regarding changes in hsbc visa platinum card or just the cashback card?

Platinum is anyways free w/o any major benefits. So devalue ho bhi Jaye (hain hi kya devalue hone ka), to no dikkat 😂.

Initial days when hunger was enormous🫠.

 

[pprakash11]

Initial days when hunger was enormous🫠.

Then no point of me trying out now after getting a bunch of cards and getting declined with a hard hit.

 

[Dreamer]

Yeah. I have also received the email about these changes.
Time to close the card unless they provide LTF.
Does anyone know if HSBC provides LTF offers?

If LTF card is your requirement, try asking HSBC for Visa Platinum or Smart Value card in place of Cashback Card
Those are by default LTF

Yes speak to their customer care and ask for an exchange/flip of the cards from CB to VP or SV . They will do it for sure.

 

[Sai Ganesh]

Yes this is a major devaluation.

Especially 2L waiver option is more as it has only major advantage of discount at Amazon and that too upto 250 rupees and they have introduced joining fees as well.

So most probably many persons may close this card.

Will it give 10% cashback at dmart and standalone restaurant?

I would prefer to continue this card till Card Anniversary and then flip it for Visa Platinum just to have some card for HSBC offers

 

[shutapdiya]

It should give but try after 26 Aug only

Thanks for the guidance.

Yes ji correct.

 

[himanshu15]

Anyone has idea that if we spend 1 lakh before 26 August then card fee will be waived off next year also or we have to spend 2 lakh now?

 

[Sai Ganesh]

No its 1 Lakh as of now , from 26th August only this will be effective.

 

[shutapdiya]

Anyone has idea that if we spend 1 lakh before 26 August then card fee will be waived off next year also or we have to spend 2 lakh now?

My understanding is If your card anniversary date is before 26th August and you have spent 1 lac in that anniversary year then then your annual charges will be waived off.

But if its after 26th August then you may need to meet 2 lac in that anniversary year for waive off.

Get it clarified with customer care team
