UPDATE 19 May 2021: Terms and conditions now only showing $200 cashback. This deal looks to have ended prematurely.
UPDATE 20 May 2021: Offer has been reverted to $200 cashback. If you have applied for a HSBC card on 18 May, you will receive $300 cashback upon meeting the conditions described on this page.
From 17 to 30 May 2021, credit card applicants of HSBC can receive up to $300 cashback upon meeting certain conditions:
-
Be a new cardholder or have not held a HSBC credit card in the past 12 months.

-
Get $50 cashback when you spend on at least 1 transaction (any amount) within qualifying period.
-
Get $220 cashback when you spend at least $500 within qualifying period.
Existing cardholders of HSBC will receive $60 cash after applying for another card and meeting the minimum spend.

Is this a good offer?
Historically, $300 is the highest cash reward that we have offered for HSBC credit cards. This cash reward was also offered 2 months ago.
Are these good cards to keep?
HSBC Revolution offers 4 miles per dollar (MPD) or 2.5% cashback on most contactless and online transactions for your first $1,000 monthly spend, without any minimum spending requirement!
I wrote an article about how this card is the best if you prefer to use only 1 credit card for ALL your spending.
Reminder: This card does not have annual fee to worry about!
Where can I spend $500?
Types of transactions that will qualify are:
-
Dining, online/offline shopping, groceries, petrol.
Types of transactions that will not qualify are:
-
Bill payments, government agencies, insurance, e-wallet top-ups.
Read the terms and conditions to view the full list of excluded transactions.
Pro tip: If you do not have $500 worth of purchases to make in the coming months, your best option will be to purchase vouchers from NTUC Fairprice. These vouchers can be used for groceries in future. 😉
How to take advantage of this offer as an existing HSBC cardholder
As mentioned above, applying for another card and getting $60 from $500 of spend is equivalent to a generous 12% cashback! If you do not have $500 to spend in the coming weeks, use the NTUC Fairprice method described above, instead of buying something that you don’t need.
