Aug/Sep 2021, but as there is no pro-rata refund, the decision on keeping your card may depend on your year end. However, you may find, as others have reported, that you will continue not to be charged a fee for main or supplementary. I have just started fee free year 2, others reporting year 3.

Thanks, the timing is not great if it will be the same this year. Can I ask if HSBC reached out to offer another fee free year or did you have to ask them for it?

@Reney it has been automatic in both years. Last year, charged in Feb, refunded in May and this year shows on Feb statement as a charge on one date and a fee reversal a few days later.
