    • this is an interest thought but the term is if you cancel the HSBC card, you lose the status regardless of the duration to expiration. I suspect this applies here.

  • I love the status aspect for it but since i am a Qantas platinum i will only get a few flights on the star alliance. I would have jumped on it if the gold status kept renewing each year without needing a 60K spend. I know its too much to ask for.

    • If you spend$5k per month do you get to keep the gold status?

    Any idea if I can reapply and be eligible for star alliance Gold if I just closed this card a couple of months ago?

    • +1

      From T&C - Existing HSBC customers transferring from another HSBC credit card or customers who have held a HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card within the last 18 months are ineligible for this offer.

      • Can we do product change with HSBC?

  • With Canada airline, if you cancel this credit card, will you lose gold status straight away or it will last until the end of year?

    • Cancelled immediately

    • If it helps I’m still rocking my gold status after cancelling one month ago and a work colleague who cancelled last week still has her gold status.

    amex plat is the king

    • Citi Prestige is much better at a fraction of the cost.

      • not really given how much Citi Prestige has chopped up the benefits. It WAS back in the day.

        • What benefit has been dropped and you don’t think Amex has dropped any benefit?

  • For those flying domestically with Virgin what benefits are there? My understanding is that it's only longue access or are there other benefits?

    How do you get into the longue? Do you simply show your star alliance card or do you have to do something else?

    For context, I had signed up and partnered with air Canada to get gold status.

    Thanks!
