Actually, HSBC Argentina also has a minimum balance requirement to avoid the fees, something like $100,000 pesos, which for many is no big deal. I don't remember the requirement exactly, but I haven't ever paid the fees. And also, once you have premier status, if it valid for all of your accounts around the world. Premier only has to be earned once, in one country.
