Schwab One brokerage and Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking debit cards reimburse all fees.

Applied a week ago as many have reported similar. Will be nice to remove those fees.

Also on another note the 30% bonus transfer works as advertised (even though the 30% bonus doesn't show in cart when you request). Relatively quick transfer too (a few days or less)

No chat about the increased 40k point signup bonus on the HSBC Premier World MC?

If only HSBC would pair that with a signup bonus on the HSBC Premier Checking account...looking to move all my Citigold assets there.

USA offer via email:

Is this targeted. Didn't receive this email.

The email specifies the last four digits of the card number. I believe all HSBC card offers are targeted. Ms mia receives many, I receive none. I would ask my HSBC Premier Relationship Manager to confirm.

I didn't receive it either (and like you rarely receive offers). I spoke to my relationship manager and he said these offers are generated by the cc - and he has nothing to do with it. I called the cc and they said that I'm eligible for offers from time to time - but they don't know when or what they'll be.

Nothing for me. So no usage on this card.

40k "Rewards Program Bonus Points", after $2,500 spend, redeemable for a free flight worth $600.

However: "To qualify for an HSBC Premier relationship, you are required to:
Open an HSBC Premier Checking account and maintain $100,000 in combined U.S. personal deposit and investment balances".

100k on deposit required just to apply. No thanks.

HSBC premier is a worldwide status, not just one country

Spent $26x.xx in September and $25 credit appeared on October statement.

curious if you guys have ponied up your HSBC points for travel.

Seems like a phone call has to be made. I like being able to look at a website and browse flights and times, picking as I chose. This phone call only method seems old school and time consuming, on both ends, and they have to pay for people to do this.

Well anyway, if I recall, 25,000 points gets you 400$ USD off a flight.

Can you pick any airlines? anyone w/ experience using points for flights, please enlighten me.

Are HSBC rewards programs flight prices 'inflated'? it would surely defeat any much benefit of using points for travel.

Where do they get their prices from. If they are all direct from say American Airlines, Delta, Cathay, etc... that would be a time saver as I can readily prep by going to th carrier sites directly, do my research, and prices, and then call HSBC and make things easier for both of us.

Thank you!

I've used them multiple times. You just find your own flight on any airline and they book it for you. As long as it's a published fare - they find it easily. Not inflated for the three times I redeemed that way. Quite easy to do.

HSBC (USA) Premier MasterCard has introduced a me too feature, free FICO score. The score appears on the PDF (or paper) card statement. I found it on the statement date 10.3.2016, which I would not have otherwise read.

I got the the same mail from them and was kind of curious what it would make of my UK address and no SSN. No mention of FICO or equifax on my statement at all (10/16/16) so I guess there is a bit of conditional logic somewhere.
