Huge Flash Deal: First 500 Get S$500 eCapitaVouchers, PS5 or Dyson Airwrap For HSBC Cards!

It is HSBC’s turn for huge, supersized welcome rewards! Be one of the first 500 to sign up for an eligible HSBC credit card from 5PM, 17th May 2024 and get a choice of big sign-up gifts like S$500 eCapitaVouchers, PS5 or Dyson Airwrap!

Even those outside of the first 500 get attractive rewards like Dyson Supersonic, iPads, and S$350 eCapitaVouchers.

Also, remember that HSBC cards have this “Bank A, Bank B” thing going on so you can still qualify as a new cardholder for TravelOne even if you already have Revolution/Advance, or vice versa!

Lastly, get extra Max Miles if Team Air Miles wins, and given the attractiveness of this promo I can’t see how they’d lose. Rigged!

Promo Details

Apply from 5PM, 17th May 2024 onwards. Remember that you have to choose a “backup gift” in case your application isn’t within the first 500. You have to fill up the Rewards Redemption Form with the HSBC reference number: 17 Digits e.g. (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
If you did not manage to capture the reference above, you may indicate the last 4 digits of your mobile number which was used in the HSBC application form e.g. (xxxx 1234)

You must also consent to HSBC’s marketing materials.

You may qualify even if you have a HSBC card

HSBC treats TravelOne differently from the rest of its cards – owning other HSBC cards does not affect your new cardholder status to TravelOne, nor does having a TravelOne impact your eligibility for sign-up rewards for other cards.

This also means that if you have no HSBC credit cards at all, you may sign up for HSBC TravelOne plus HSBC Revolution, Advance or Platinum Visa to get two sets of sign-up rewards! Getting two rewards only applies for those who signed up before 10.22PM, 17th May 2024. After this timing, applications can only receive one gift under this promo.

Do note that TravelOne’s annual fee needs to be paid for you to receive welcome offers for TravelOne applications.

Extra miles from Cashback vs Miles

What makes this deal even more insane is that you can get extra miles from the ongoing Cashback vs Miles campaign.

• HSBC Revolution: 10,000 Max Miles (S$100 gift card value)
• HSBC TravelOne: 3,000 Max Miles (S$30 gift card value)

Even if you are not a miles person, Max Miles can be converted into gift cards at 1,000 Max Miles = S$10 valuation. Make sure to sign up for a heymax account here first for bonus 1,000 Max Miles.

HSBC Advance and HSBC Platinum Visa are Cashback cards but they are both conspicuously absent from this round of the campaign. Only the miles cards count towards the current round, so it seems quite likely Teams Miles would pick up the win this round.

I would say it’s rigged, but when the rewards are this good I’m going to happily sign up for a HSBC miles card myself.

Some tips

Some tips to be as fast as possible: 

Before Application

• Disable all content blockers on your browser

• Make sure you note down the application reference number

HSBC reference number: 17 Digits e.g. (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
If you did not manage to capture the reference above, you may indicate the last 4 digits of your mobile number which was used in the HSBC application form e.g. (xxxx 1234)

After Application

• The page where you first submitted your email should have an orange Claim Here button that will lead you to the Rewards Redemption Form
• If you can’t find this page, check your email inbox for the Rewards Redemption Form
• The Form will require your Preferred Reward, Name, Mobile Number and Application Reference Number
• You have to make 2 gift selections: one “backup” gift and the other “lightning deal” one
