thanks for the suggestion ill check into that and post an update.
I had HSBC --Hong Kong credit product website--- in mind when typing the above. HSBC adds on alot of thier own benefits above and beyond those that MC offers. I think Citi in HK also has some interesting products --like thier Centurion/Chairman appearance like IT Visa ---- though I stick with MC.
Moments is akin to Premium Collection or Premium Offers from MasterCard USA/ N. America.
Also keep in mind some institutions require that payments for charges and fees be drawn on a local bank -- at least that is the way it is in the USA, and I wouuld suspect HK as well --- so you might do well to open a basic checking account and just fund it with enough to cover the cards charges -- any good private banker could help with that --- a HKD denominated checking account at the HK branch of the bank.
