    Is there a credit card that has a 100$ credit limit? curious

    most of the ones ive seen are at a 500$ min limit

      Why do you want a CC with $100 limit? That's as useful as a chocolate teapot.

    • hippo2s on 11/08/2022 - 16:25

      just sign up for Zip and use their virtual credit cards - very low limit

      • HunterxHunter9000 on 24/08/2022 - 15:07

        How many virtual credit cards can you make and can you set limit spending on monthly, weekly or yearly etc?

  • Autonomic on 11/08/2022 - 14:42

    Is there a limit to the amount of you can balance transfer?

  • Saanch on 11/08/2022 - 14:47

    I have an email from HSBC for the platinum card with 120,000 points 0$ first year annual fee and the balance transfer offer for 26 months. It may be targeted so check your email if you have an existing HSBC account.

      This one

        Be aware that the comments on that post say you can transfer 120k points to $600 cashback but HSBC have since downgraded their points and now 24k points is equal to $100.

        • dcomo on 12/09/2022 - 10:14

          yup, can confirm dodgy hsbc - on call right now as it was $600 cashback when I signed up (May) but only able to redeem 500..

          cust care staff going in circles, essentially dodging the issue…

          • BargainGeezer on 12/09/2022 - 12:49

            @dcomo: Would you be able to update if you manage to get it resolved? I’m still sitting on my 120k points and not sure what I’m doing with them now.

      Just a note for those who don't know, you either get the points, or the 0% Balance transfer offer. Not both

    Seems not mentioning in the OP deals page
    But now you also get 2 Airport lounge passes every year (via Lounge Key)

    Its written in this page: https://www.hsbc.com.au/credit-cards/products/platinum/balan…
    T&C: https://www.hsbc.com.au/content/dam/hsbc/au/docs/credit-card…

    Besides, if you work with a company that has corporate partnership with HSBC
    You can apply for this credit card with $0 first year fee + $100 cashback

      Thanks Updated.

        no worries :)

        Another good to consider benefit of this card is the free Instant Savings membership

        Its offered by the same company as Entertainment Book
        But with lesser offers and slightly lower discount
        (eg. 20% off bills instead of 25% off)

        While Entertainment book is no longer attractive anymore in 2022
        Still a good add-on as for the free membership

        iOS: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/hsbc-instant-savings/id1255744…
        Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.frequen…

        Best I have found useful with the Instant Savings app is the McCafe buy 1 get 1 free hot beverage deals
        Unlike Entertainment book that you can only redeem once per membership
        Instant Savings deals can be redeemed once a day
        I have been buying many coffess from McD during lock down last year, using this B1G1 offer

        • Adz12 on 11/08/2022 - 19:42

          How long does it usually take to get the email from HSBC for access to this? I just got the HSBC CC

          • littlesoldier on 11/08/2022 - 21:48

            @Adz12: Applied back in 2019
            Took a month time from credit card approval to receiving Frequent Values membership email

        • aiyoyo on 11/08/2022 - 20:56

          Received an email for this deal yesterday from HSBC. But in the email doesn't come with membership number and temporary password!

          How you all find the membership number and temporary password?

          • littlesoldier on 11/08/2022 - 21:50

            @aiyoyo: Back in 2019 when I got the membership
            the username and temporary password is within the Activation Step in the email
            The text are pretty small and easily overlook imo …

    • Ernestpogi on 22/08/2022 - 01:52

      Do they allow to stack up the offer above and the corporate partnership benefits?

  • hippo2s on 11/08/2022 - 16:24

    Please save yourself the trouble and DON'T open up an account with HSBC.

    I had a credit card with them for 5+ years - upon closure, they needed me to head into a physical branch and sign multiple documents and wait for their branch manager to approve the closure of MY credit card!! Like… the branch manager can reject my need/will to close a credit card??

    Took me like close to 2 hours to wait around for them to do their administration. Very out-dated governance processes.

    • johnn on 11/08/2022 - 17:11

      Yep had the same issues with my transaction account with them. Hadn't used it for a while so it'd been suspended- no worries, 99% of other banks will reactivate it over the phone. Not HSBC, have to go into the physical branch and waited ages standing around as I signed docs and waited for other processes.

      Not to mention numerous issues on their website/app and their onerous password/security code/yet another code process.

      Hands down the most frustrating bank to deal with. At least I think they've given up on the physical security device thing in which you needed to hold this separate bloody code-generator with you just to do some transactions. Imagine being outside and not having your thingamabob on you- too bad, can't send money from your own damn account.

        oh f…I remember those. them RSA code generator. Had one for my CC too. So to log in you needed username, password and a code. Thank goodness for biometric sign in nowadays.

    • askvictor on 12/08/2022 - 07:28

      I closed mine online, only hiccup was having to wait a day for pending transactions to finalize. Otherwise it was incredibly easy, much easier than expected (given the ordeal of opening the account)

      • hippo2s on 14/08/2022 - 10:34

        Maybe they have improved the process and red tape.

  • nickeveli on 11/08/2022 - 17:06

    New to this, wondering if you need to close the account of the balance being transferred?

      No

  • justtoreply on 11/08/2022 - 17:44

    What are these? It doesn't say.

    "purchase protection insurance"
    "guaranteed pricing scheme"

  • Mechz on 11/08/2022 - 18:42

    Hmm, wonder if they'll pay 40k off my zero balance cards so I can have an interest free car loan.

    • Nuclearvodka on 11/08/2022 - 19:16

      What's the maximum credit limit?

  • _tony on 11/08/2022 - 20:09

    I've got this card. They might not do it anymore, but they use to get waive the annual fee if you accumulatively spent more than $6000 in the year.

    • n14pulsarq on 30/08/2022 - 14:32

      I noticed this recently too. Used to be handy to use the lounge pass and get points for free. Guess I'll cancel it after my net trip.

  • coolsteps on 13/08/2022 - 09:16

    anyone know of a promo code for Balance Transfers for existing card holders?

  • albert22 on 14/08/2022 - 01:22

    Just applied but it didn't ask for my other banks details for balance transfer… will they just ask for it upon approval??

    • jemichae on 14/08/2022 - 10:54

      It should have. You tick the balance transfer box and then it asks for institution, account/card number and balance.

      • Ehty on 14/08/2022 - 23:17

        I am sure you can do BT after card approval also.
