percysmith, just wanted to double check... even though my $120k limit has been used up.
For any past promotions. ie. Red Hot Travel, Manning, etc. The ones where your 'extra' bonus will be credit by XX month, XX date.....I'll still be receiving my RC for those right?

If you bust $120K you lose the ability to double eat e.g. for the just-started prom201, you can still earn 40RC promo extra plus 2RC basic/$500 on weekends, but you won't earn the extra 5X (10RC).

HSBC Manning promotion back. But less attractive this time, only 40 extra reward cash for 500 HKD spending (used to be 60, no?)
http://www.hsbc.com.hk/1/2/special/cards/prom201
Promotion goes from 1 Nov to 30 Nov (shorter).
So 500 dollar earns 42 reward cash on weekends. HK$1.26/miles earn ratio, but restricted to 100 reward cash each weekend and 300 reward cash during promotion period.
Which means u can buy 1000 shopping coupons and get 84 reward cash.

The one I been waiting for past few weeks! Red Hot Festival (from 1 July to 31 August).
Nov 4 - Before posting post #1232, I e-mailed HSBC to double check if I'll be getting my bonus RC despite blowing the 120k limit.
Nov 5 - Got reply back saying yes I will be getting the bonus. And "Meanwhile, the fulfillment for the above programme has not been completed. Therefore, I am sorry that we are unable to calculate how many RewardCash you will earn."
Nov 6 - Checked at 4pm, and my 500 RC has arrived already!
