(Disclaimer: Please correct me if I'm wrong ....)
From 24 April 2010,
- All the reward points outstanding in your credit card will be automatically converted into RewardCash at the rate of $1 RewardCash for every 250 Reward Points.
- For every HK$250 spending, you'll earn $1 Reward Cash
- For Asia Miles conversion, $1 RewardCash will be converted into 15 Asia Miles.
It's also available here on HSBC's website:

What this means is HK$250 = $1 RewardCash = 15 Asia Miles.
The conversion rate is now 250/15 = HK$16.67 = 1 Asia Mile !!
HSBC has therefore gone from HK$12 to $15 to $16.67 per mile. Ridiculous!
