Airport gal, do you know why the benefits from all premier account countries are not published at one universal location? If there are no restrictions then HSBC would be losing out by not advertising all the other benefits that one would be entitled to in other countries when they travel.
At the moment I always to go the HSBC website of the respective country I'm traveling to see what's on offer.
Also they are not all without restriction. In Indonesia premier account members receive a priority pass membership, the only way I could get that would be to open an account in Indonesia, hmmm maybe I should or is that going a bit far just for priority pass membership?
