HSBC Red Hot Winter Shop-together Rewards 1 Dec-28 Feb 15 ($0.686/mile)

https://www.redhotoffers.hsbc.com.hk...annings-offer/


Form group of 5 = 8% in rewardcash
Buy from mannings on Fri/sat/sun = 2% extra
--> 10% total

Weekly caps:
8%: 200rc/week
2%: 50rc/week

Promo cap:
8%: 1,400rc
2%: 300rc

So
Buy 6 weeks of $2,500 mannings
Each week: 200rc + 50rc
6 weeks: 1,200rc + 300rc (2% max)

For 7th week, can buy more Mannings/Broadway/TS/TMP $2,500 --> 200rc (1,400rc promo total)

Earn rate: $17,500 spend for 1,700 RC (25,500 miles) --> $0.686/mile.

I think I'll form my group of 5 very quickly. Anyone else needing a group of 5 suggest leave a post here asking others to PM you.

P.S. Promo to 28 Feb 15 not 31 Jan 15 as stated earlier...if you're going for the Mannings strategy it may be worth waiting for the last 7 weeks because HSBC has some history upping the Mannings earn on the second week of January.
