Apologies if already posted, but HSBC are running a 25% bonus promotion when converting points to Avios. Offer expires 31st August.

I missed this before, which royally peed me off....

Ugh! I didn't even get a notification from HSBC and none of the frequent flyer blogs I subscribed to highlighted it. I just decided to try searching on the topic today thinking we were overdue for a transfer bonus.

Where did you see the bonus posted? I want to make sure I don't miss the next one.

I guess I should also ask which country's HSBC MC this refers to since there are several and I imagine the bonuses are not global.

The one this thread talks about was for HSBC UK. There was a banner occasionally on HSBC internet banking during the promotional period, but it wasn't consistent, and agree - poorly publicised by HSBC. I can only recommend you add Raffles 's blog to your daily media intake - he promoted it on there a couple of times: https://www.headforpoints.com/2019/0...ransfer-bonus/

It's been pretty much annual I think. I received no notifications however after I read it on HFP I then did see it pop up in Online Banking.

Unless you need the points transferring just set a reminder to check it around August next year.

OP is in Canada though, so if his HSBC account is Canadian the promo wouldn't have been for him anyway.

I'm pretty sure there was a small advert-like announcement for this when I was logged into the HSBC UK website. I'd already read about it on HfP as well.
