Be part of an elite circle of distinguished HSBC Visa Infinite cardholders at a programme fee of SGD488 per annum, you will receive 45,000 Asia Miles which is enough to redeem two round-trip Economy Class award tickets between Singapore and Bali or one round-trip Economy Class award ticket between Singapore and Tokyo.
Designed to perfectly complement your discerning lifestyle, the HSBC Visa Infinite card sets a new standard as the ultimate companion for those who care to travel well.
Hmmm...S$488+S$40 (annual programme fee for AM) for 45k miles. Worth it I suppose (just for the 45k miles)
What is the income requirement? (Most VI cards are at $120k, is this the case for this one?)
I have had a few bad experiences in the past with HSBC to the point that I transferred all local and overseas banking relations to Citi.
Guess they won't invite me anyway... but $528/year for 45k miles is a good deal. The earning rate online looks not bad too.
Does the annual fee guarantee some miles beyond Year 1? (Too many fine prints from HSBC for my liking, sorry if I ask a lot of questions)
