I have this card and use it for purchases in sundry currencies/USD even though I live in Canada. 1% cashback is half decent considering as I found that some Canadian cards charge a lot more than 2.5% for sundry currencies (like CZK, ZAR, KRW, TWD) and only paying the 0.25% to exchange CAD to USD is a much better deal, also considering I save on USD purchases.
Yeah, I forgot about the Wi-Fi when I posted! When you land HKG and exit into the arrivals hall, there's a HSBC Premier branch with comfy chairs, coffee and free Wi-Fi. Also there's ATMs and bankers too.
