That is a great PDF link. The instructions seem comprehensive. I don't see this program lasting -- too many details to remember and I bet most people will have their P.A. or assistant deal with this.
It is nice you can use it for friends and relatives for arrivals even though you are not there -- an escort at the airport to make the airport to home trip smoother.
The big benefit of course is the escort to the Admirals Club -- even when not a member.
This could be very useful during the holiday periods -- like the busiest travel day of the year.

Please clarify if I am understanding this correctly:
If I have a HSBC Premier Credit Card but I do NOT have an HSBC bank account and I fly on American Air domestically or internationally departing from JFK airport, I can use the AA Admirals Club lounge for no charge?
I do not see this benefit on the info page of the HSBC Premier Credit Card.
thank you

It seems that HSBC Indonesia is offering free PriorityPass to HSBC Premier card holders. With that, we have free access to all PP VIP lounges worldwide!

Since holding premier in one country, one can get it in another country for free, it's definitely worth to get the Indonesia HSBC Premier.

The facility is only available to the main Premier credit cardholder and one travel companion. There will be an additional fee of USD 25 for the second or more travel companion entering the airport lounge, which will be debited in your HSBC Premier Mastercard account.

IMO, the Indo pp's a lot more valuable. I think I have to get in touch with my RM to get a Indonesian domiciled premier account and hopefully the credit card as well (credit history transfer
).I think these who absolutely want a Euro chipped card can probably pick a European country of their choice and do this too. Use global transfers to pay the bill.

apparently hsbc has a new lounge at cmb
late wednesday night i was at cmb and spaced out and turned left one door too soon and walked into the first lounge door (not the second lounge on the left that cx uses) and handed my boarding pass to the lounge attendant before i realised my error. she directed me to the correct lounge but while i was speaking with her i noticed a big hsbc lounge banner sign welcoming hsbc premier card holders.
this is the first lounge on the left side of the concourse that was previously perpetually closed.
while i did not think to ask the attendant if this would remain permanently open for hsbc members, due to the large sign, it looks to me as though hsbc premier has a new lounge at cmb airport.

Interesting.
Any other HSBC Premier countries offer the PP or lounge access? I got the email for the AA 5* service, but since I never fly AA in/out of LAX or JFK, it seems a bit useless for me.

I'm only aware of HSBC Indonesia offering PP with their Premier mastercard. You can also use various lounges in some asian airports by just showing your premier credit card (regardless of country).
