Hi percysmith, two questions:

Where do you see 18 Avios/RC? I only see the normal 15 rate where I've looked on the website. Is there a promo somewhere I've missed? (I've got a HK Premier MC.)

DBS Plat on dining $5/mile
Bankcomms on weekends $4/mile (with limit)
Are you sure the HSBC 6X works for banquets? My read of the T&Cs seems to exclude this, even at a non-hotel restaurant:

7. Only dining outlets in Hong Kong classified as restaurants or dining merchants according to the merchant codes issued by VISA International, MasterCard Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong) Limited and China UnionPay are included. Transactions made in respect of banquet services, private functions, private room events, dining outlets in hotels, department stores, associations and clubhouses, and the food and beverage services provided by a designated merchant of other spending categories will not be counted as an eligible transaction.
