HSBC Rewards Plus points are earned in accordance with and are subject to HSBC's Credit Card Rewards Plus Program Terms and Conditions. HSBC Rewards Plus points will no longer accrue when the total value of your eligible purchases reaches $120,000 in each 12-month period starting from your account opening date. HSBC Rewards Plus points previously earned are subsequently deducted if there are refunds, reimbursements or chargebacks on your account. No points are earned on interest-free and other special promotions, balance transfers, business expenses, cash transfers, cash advances, fees and charges, any disputed transactions, BPAY® and any government fee or charge.
-
The annual fee is $149 and subject to change. However, it will be waived in the first year (i.e., the annual fee is $0 in the first year). The annual fee will be debited for the first time on the first statement of account following the 12-month anniversary of the first debit transaction on your account, and annually thereafter. The waiver ($0 annual fee in the first year) does not apply to existing HSBC customers transferring from another HSBC credit card.
-
To be eligible for the introductory balance transfer interest rate, you must make the balance transfer request when applying for the HSBC Platinum credit card and the balance transfer must be from non-HSBC credit cards. The total balance transfer amount must not exceed 90% of your approved credit limit. The introductory interest rate on the balance transfer applies for 12 months from the day the balance transfer has posted. After this period, any balance outstanding will accrue interest at the variable cash advance rate (currently 21.99% p.a. and subject to change). HSBC will allocate payments we receive from you to pay off the portion of your balance which attracts the highest interest rate first, and then to portions of your balance that attract lower interest rates. This may mean applying all payments made to your HSBC credit card account to pay off other transactions such as purchases and cash advances before any balance transfer amount. Full HSBC Balance Transfer terms and conditions apply.
-
The balance transfer fee will be calculated at 2% of the balance being transferred to your HSBC credit card account. This fee is applied at the time the balance is transferred and forms part of the total outstanding balance.
