700,000 / 15 = 46666.66 if you transferred it out to an airline program whereas in the US it is 1:1.

Bottom line: Forget HK issued cards unless you really need one for whatever tactical reasons.
older thread, but figure i'd add links - the links below shows the 15:1 ratio for HK MR points and 1:1 for US MR points.
