Will many people redirect their general banking to SCB because of this card? I don't think so.

The GR from Amex CX Elite is different than this SL/GO offer though. If it's a permanent thing then it's a further devaluation of MPC. I bet half of CX HKG-based passengers can easily qualify for priority banking.

I don’t see auto crediting of miles to CX as a bonus. It’s better to have the flexibility to send your miles to different programs if you need to.
I guess auto crediting is good for people who prefer to stick with 1 airline program and don't want to do a lot of miles transferring, especially if it isn't instant. |

A few perks but I don't know if its enough to move the needle: can avoid annual fee, automatic crediting of AM to your MPC account (no expiry anyway), the possibility of earning Club Points (for those who are usually very close to a new tier or renewing and struggling to earn, it could be huge).

Cardholders can enjoy an annual fee waiver on their Cards if they are eligible Priority Banking clients and meet the relevant Average Daily Relationship Balance requirement as stipulated by the Bank from time to time |
It seems they didn’t say how to handle existing asiamiles card holder, do we receive a new card or continue to use the original one?
And I assume the new card level has nothing to do with marcopolo status but only how much money you have with the bank? |

Confirmed, existing card holders or Priority Banking customers need to cancel all their cards and wait 6 months before they can benefit from the welcome offers. Rather underwhelming.
(Click into the application form) "1-year Marco Polo Club Gold Membership This offer is applicable to New Cardholder and existing clients of the Bank" "1-year Marco Polo Club Silver Membership This offer is applicable to New Cardholder and existing clients of the Bank" |

Existing card holders aren't eligible for the miles welcome offer. If you hold the existing Priority Banking Visa Infinite, SCB say you need to cancel it and wait 6 months to apply for the Cathay Priority Banking card. Seems rather cumbersome |

So I guess MCP status means nothing any more. I could be a DM without SCB bank account so I would only get the lowest tier card and needs to pay $2K annual fee a year.

To be confirmed but I doubt they are going to undertake an immediate card replacement program. All existing Asia Miles cardholders retain their existing cards until replaced, cancelled or upgraded.

What do you mean by this? I think this is referring to the free Marco Polo status granted to the Priority and Priority Private banking customers?

Is anyone here a SCB (non-Priority) Private Banking client? |
I think based upon the Standard Chartered Bank Cathay Priority Banking Card, I think CX will cut lounge access for its MPO Silver members. Otherwise, they will not provide 4 non-transferable lounge access coupons to the cardholder.
