Should those eligible therefore now apply Rob or is there perhaps a better product to come that would be worth holding off for?
Is it culling season again?

One of the two 🙂
Oh dear! Let me atleast make full use of the annual fee waiver!

I’m sure if it was the former, you would’ve said so . If my trust is misplaced, then please do let me know 😂
OMG – The suspense !!!
And I just realised they did charge me an annual fee – grrr – I guess it can’t hurt to try and claw that back at least before whatever the change is comes down the pipes… can it?
Hmmm Rob and Rhys have sort of hinted that something may be coming from Barclays at some point. But they’ve made similar things around this time last year, not long after Barclays launched the Avios current account. It’s just speculation for the time being, but I do wonder if HSBC are going to be doing away with their range of Avios-earning products if Barclays are somehow picking up the pieces.
Actually that’s a good call Rum in that it could just be Barclays are going to be bringing out an Avios backed credit card to supplement their own Avios earning premium offering and so Rob is hinting it may not be a good time to apply for another card as that in turn may impact your credit score negatively and so your ability to then also get the new Barclays card.
I can’t see that HSBC will withdraw these cards as they are not just Avios earning but tied-into other points partners (Singapore, Cathay) and are a key part of their premium banking offering.

Yes, good point about the HSBC cards. They have other ‘points partners’, so could just be an additional offering from Barclays, rather than an outright withdrawal from HSBC’s side.
I did have a look at the HSBC Premier Cards on their website and both cards indicate that the card designs are being changed, which hints at changes are afoot.
Thanks to rum for reminding me that my annual fee has been waived this year. Glad I won’t have to deal with this mess of a process for another year at least.

All the HSBC card designs (including the debit cards) were updated a few months ago.
They were, but we really struggle with vertical card imagery so we’re sticking with the old pics!

I think the old design looks way better so let’s keep it that way 🙂
Anyone have data points on HSBC to Etihad Guest transfer time? I did it in April and it took 5 days, I’ve been waiting over a week now…

Rob has good form for predicting new products coming – I guess he gets tipped off.
Rob has a less great crystal ball about products getting the bullet immediately before they actually do.
My bet is therefore a new product to come shortly.

Sound reasoning – but why then make the decision not to have a specific thread for the HSBC cards? Ooo, the intrigue.

… and didn’t he work at HSBC? Could be an insiders view has leaked out.
Most developments since the cap on fees have been negative so I wouldn’t wait assuming something better was coming. I’d have thought the Premier CC would be as good as it gets?

Hmmm, not sure what best to do then. I’ve opened 3 new accounts within the past 6 months (two of which were with HSBC – the premier a/c + mortgage) and the third being a new card with AMEX so credit score has taken a bit of a dip. Do I take a further hit with the HSBC CC application or wait until the 6 months are up and credit score has been restored. From Rob’s comments, it suggests that the change will be happening in the short term so might just have to take the plunge.
Anyone else applied for multiple cards within a short period of time?
The premier cards aren’t getting pulled- I am 100% confident with this. So will be something new elsewhere.

How are you so sure?

Hi, quick question if I may about the extended warranty on the Premier Mastercard. In the Ts & Cs it says that:
You can register up to three items of equipment (6 if a joint card is held) per calendar year for the Extended Warranty Insurance Benefit.
Can I just check people’s experience of this – I am assuming that a ‘joint card’ means an additional cardholder – i.e. as my wife also has a card under the account then we qualify for 6 items? Furthermore, do I need to purchase 3 items on each card, or is it acceptable to D&G / HSBC if 6 items are purchased on my card?
Thanks in advance!
