    Plus bonus $100 for new HSBC customers

    "$100 Bonus for new HSBC customers
    $100 Bonus9 when you deposit $2,000 or more each month for 3 consecutive months, within 6 months of opening your Everyday Global Account."

      2%?

  • TwoDolla on 01/08/2019 - 02:57

    Just tried to apply for this and the submit button on their application form for existing customers does not work.

    Either that, or I’ve just opened a few hundred accounts.

    Second worst bank in Aus in my experience. Their sub standard online banking systems and app makes this 2% almost not worth it for the hassle.

    So those who signed up, are you guys able to immediately add your debit card to Apple Pay (or Google Pay)?
    "Unable to Add Your Card"

    I wonder if I have to wait until I receive the card and activate it before I can add it to Apple Pay.

    I was hoping for an experience similar to UP Banking.

      You need to wait until you receive the card. Having said that, I signed up Tuesday night when I saw the original post and received my card yesterday. I transferred the $2000 at about 4:30PM yesterday and received the email last night telling me I would be eligible for the 2% cashback from now until September 30th since it is for the remainder of the current month and the following month. I had to call them to be able to verify the card when I added it into Google Pay.

  • witsa on 01/08/2019 - 19:52

    Has anyone done the calculations to determine whether it's better to use amex card (or another card) to get points to buy gift cards or if it's worth getting 2% back?

    • hellwolf on 02/08/2019 - 08:29

      For WISH gift cards I get 5% off and 3ppd on my AMEX Platinum Edge, which convert to 1.5ppd when I send them to Velocity since April 2019. If I use the HSBC card I can't get the 5% off as it is only on Paywave, Google Pay and Apple Pay transactions that you get the 2% cashback.

      For Coles gift cards I get 5% off and 2ppd on my Coles Rewards Mastercard, which convert to around 1ppd (during the 15% bonus Velocity transfer periods) when I send them to Velocity. If I use the HSBC card I can't get the 5% off as it is only on Paywave, Google Pay and Apple Pay transactions that you get the 2% cashback..

      • witsa on 02/08/2019 - 12:38

        Not concerned about the buying of the gift cards, more just saying if o had a small purchase, should I use this to get 2% or use my AMEX card to get the points to buy gift card or flights later.

        • hellwolf on 02/08/2019 - 16:45
          +2

          In my eyes 2% is better value than accruing points. I value my frequent flyer points at 1c per point, ie. 1%. But for someone redeeming first and business class flights and upgrades they'd value them higher.

        • cwongtech on 02/08/2019 - 17:15
          +1

          This 2% is instant cashback
          Amex cards
          Can only get 1 airline point (2 amex points, Flexible program transfer) via amex explorer
          Or 1.25 Qantas points via Qantas amex

          You can get 1.5 airline points (3 amex pt via amex plat edge) via Woolies or coles, and also use it to purchase gift cards.

          For supermarket spends, I'd stick to discounted gift cards purchased with amex.

          For everything else, use the HSBC 2% cashback

  • DeafMutePretender on 17/08/2019 - 00:51

    Setup was a bit annoying but the cashback is coming in while we wait for the $100 bonus. Hopefully they don't end the 2% cashback in a ridiculously short time (I can't see an end date).

    • jasonb on 18/08/2019 - 23:51

      If they do I'll close the account and go back to what I was doing before (and have one less card and an easier set of rules for the wife of which card to use when - which will make her happy). Until then, make hay while the sun shines.

    Experience

    • Existing customer
    • Applied online on Tuesday 20/8 and was approved straightaway and got provided with BSB and account number.
    • Got SMS on Wednesday 21/8 morning advising the debit card is on its way.
    • Debit card arrived yesterday.
    • Transferred $2000 from another HSBC account under my name last night.
    • Received email from HSBC at 8:02 this morning advising that I have unlocked the benefits of HSBC Everyday Extras.

    Questions:

    1. Does anyone know how often they do the sweep to check for the $2k deposit? Daily? Trying to minimise the time the $2000 sits in this zero interest bearing account.

    2. The email from HSBC states "HSBC Everyday Extras is a feature of the HSBC Everyday Global Account. To continue to be eligible to receive Everyday Extras you will need to deposit AUD2,000 or more into your HSBC Everyday Global Account before the last day of each calendar month.".
      Does that mean one can tap and pay for the first 27/29/30 days of the month, only to deposit $2000 into his/her Everyday Global Account on the last (working) day of the month and still earn 2% cashback?

    Thank you!

      Based on their Disclosure Statement, this 2% Cashback offers:

      applies from the moment the deposit is made until the last
      Banking Day of the calendar month, as well as the following
      calendar month;

      Essentially, it means you can deposit the $2000 anytime during the month, if you have also done so from the previous month - and still have uninterrupted 2% cashback.

      There is no stipulation how long the $2K must remain in the account, so it should be OK to withdraw immediately after it hits the account.

      • hubs1982 on 23/08/2019 - 21:09

        Cheers, withdrew most of it today, leaving a few hundred in it for the weekend.

  • vhfyagi on 23/08/2019 - 21:51

    Well I have to say forever in my life, I couldn't open a bank account, and that is with HSBC. It's not because of eligibility, it's because the rude and arrogant attitude of HSBC employees towards new customers. Here is the story. My mum was trying to open this global currency account with HSBC. We did online application and all went well except need to go to Canberra branch to verify her identity. We went there with all supporting documents and expect it is a simple and quick turn around, but HSBC Canberra branch employee completely pissed us off and shocked us that opening a bank account could be that complicated and difficult. The lady serving us was not verifying my mum's identity but rather telling us something we already know from the web (like this fee that fee, interest rate blah blah blah) and also asked a lot of questions which are stupid. For example, why my mum wants multiple foreign currencies in the global currency account? I reminded her please verify the identity and those information we already know and my mum has the right to open up to 10 foreign currencies in that account so please speed up the process. The lady said to us every customer wanted to open account with HSBC has to stay there and listen to her for minimum an hour. I said to her, fine but please hurry up a bit as I do have to go to work and can't stay that long. Then she refused to serve us and said if we want to open the account, we have to make another appointment. Then she walked away and left us with her branch manager. I talked to HSBC Canberra branch manager but that lady is even more rude and asked us to leave. I was shocked HSBC employees could treat new customer like that. Such thing never happened in other banks. I have to say, HSBC, look at how empty in your Canberra branch. If that is your service standard, how could new customer come?

    "… when you tap and pay using Visa payWave, Apple Pay or Google Pay™ for eligible purchases under AUD100."

    Sounds like the only requirement is (1) under $100 and (2) via Visa payWave, Apple Pay or Google Play. Right?

    Technically speaking, this should include any in-app purchases through Deliveroo where the app accepts Apple Pay … and my dinner is under $100?

    • wutang01 on 30/08/2019 - 10:08

    I finally got my HSBC card after a really frustrating sign up process. I'm an existing HSBC credit card customer, so naturally wanted to sign up as an existing customer.

    • I first had to get the app loaded on my phone to generate a security key. This required a 30 minute phone call to get it activated.
    • Then I went through the sign up form, put all my details in (why does HSBC want to know your entire life history, it's a debit card FFS) and… the button to submit the application didn't work. I put my details in again, this time using my PC. Nope, no go. Then I read on this forum the system was broken months ago, and is STILL broken.
    • I had to sign up as a new customer (enter all details in again, sigh) and this time it worked, and HSBC linked the debit card to my existing log in details.

    HSBC: Your IT system is almost completely broken. Years ago you forced all existing credit card customers to set up a new online banking login, as the existing credit card login no longer worked. Now you have a system that has a password but doesn't enable all features once logged in. A security key needs to be generated on a phone for every login (which requires another password).

    Just my 2c.
    Signed up to HSBC for the bonus and to consider using it permanently. No, just no. Sign up process, activation and setting up the app and online were so frustrating. The app itself, is just terrible compared to other banks.
    Only good thing I can say is that they came through on the bonus. In Oct, Nov & this morning, I transferred $2000 in from Up Bank at around 12-2am in the morning. The money usually appeared in HSBC at around 2pm that day, then I transferred the money straight back to Up, where it showed up at around 8pm. Only difference is that today, the $100 bonus appeared when the $2000 did.

    Unless they get PayID/Osko for permanent transfers, I won't be continuing to use the account as I don't want my money sitting in their bank.

    • Neoika on 01/02/2020 - 18:33
