HSBC TravelOne Card Promo: Up To 33,600 Miles Sign-Up Bonus

HSBC is running a limited-time sign-up promotion for the HSBC TravelOne Card (a.k.a. HSBC T1), which I currently see as one of the best credit cards in Singapore for airport lounge access and general spending.

From 1 Apr to 30 Jun 2026, applicants of the HSBC TravelOne Card can receive 25,000 or 33,600 bonus miles after meeting the minimum spending requirement and paying the first-year S$196.20 annual fee.

Here’s a quick summary of how you can qualify for this sign-up bonus:

✅ Be a new credit cardholder of HSBC Those who cancelled their last credit card with the bank more than 12 months ago will also qualify.

Pros & cons of HSBC miles

Miles/Points earned on the HSBC TravelOne Card offer greater flexibility than those earned through other Singapore banks’ credit cards, but they have one major disadvantage.

Advantages of HSBC miles/points:

✅ Miles expire 3 years after they are earned
Keep the miles in your card for as long as 3 years after they are earned, and transfer to a preferred Frequent Flyer Program (FFP) only when you’re ready to make an award redemption.

✅ Access to 7 useful frequent flyer programs
This gives you more award availability and award rates to compare.

✅ Free miles transfers
Miles transfers to FFPs are free, but note the minimum amount of 10,000 miles (25k points).

✅ Instant miles transfers
Miles transfers from the HSBC TravelOne Card to all useful FFPs are instant.

✅ Pool miles with other HSBC cards
Miles earned on the HSBC TravelOne Card can be pooled with those earned on other HSBC cards (such as the HSBC Revolution Card) and transferred together.

Disadvantage of HSBC miles/points:

❌ Miles transfers to KrisFlyer come with a poor transfer ratio (17% fewer miles)

Is the HSBC TravelOne Card good?

The HSBC TravelOne Card is not a great card for spending due to poor earn rates of 1.2 miles per dollar (mpd) on SGD transactions and 2.4 mpd on foreign currency transactions (with 3.25% FX junk fee).

While these earn rates are uncapped, you’d probably take a long time to accumulate enough miles for a meaningful award redemption, unless you’re spending tens of thousands of dollars on the card every month.

With that said, the HSBC TravelOne Card is useful for:

• Good sign-up bonuses
• Free airport lounge access
• As a last-resort card (when the bonus caps on your 4 mpd cards are maxed out)

✍️ Short summary
This card gives you an uncapped earn rate of 1.2 miles per dollar on SGD spending and 2.4 miles per dollar on foreign currency spending.

This is a great backup card, if you have exhausted all your specialized cards with better earn rates.

Having many transfer partners gives you fantastic flexibility. However, this card has a poor transfer ratio to KrisFlyer, a great frequent flyer program for travels to regions like Australia, New Zealand, Mainland China, India and Istanbul.

Cardholders are also entitled to 4 free airport lounge visits (via DragonPass) per calendar year. For example, if you apply for the card in March 2023, you will get 4 free visits for the current year, plus 4 more free visits from 1 January the following year.

Cardholders also get complimentary access to the ENTERTAINER with HSBC app, where there are over a thousand 1-for-1 deals on dining, entertainment and hotels.
