I don't have my US HSBC linked to a TFL account but my UK card is. When I use Android Pay (set up with the same card) it appears as another contactless card in the TFL account (but I didn't set it up separately).
Admittedly this is with a UK HSBC CC and Android Pay rather than a US one and Apple Pay but I suspect it will be the same.

not sure of the advance card, but on the Premier mastercard, 1pt=1.6c on travel redemption (in chunks of ~12K points?). i generally do not use this card unless targeted for promos (used to be common, nothing recently).

Just got this notice from HSBC Premier
"Accessing your money just got easier
As a valued HSBC Premier client, you'll receive unlimited ATM third-party fee rebates when using other banks' ATMs to withdraw cash, check your balance or transfer funds in the U.S., now including New York State."
Looks like they are as good as Charles Schwab now - at least in the US.

Will have to remember to only use Schwab outside of the US.
Thanks.

Having it on the reverse does seem to be the standard from what I've seen on AmEx and the Citi Costco card. I'd probably start getting concerned if information on contactless disappears from their website (which so far hasn't happened).
Having it on the back of the card is pointless... Especially when it's on the back corner like on my Green AMEX and SPG cards. Nobody looks at the back of the cards, they should be on the front.

The address bar in your hyperlink indicates that's a page for debit cards and their features. When I looked on HSBC's website yesterday, there didn't appear to be any contactless features on their credit card products. I asked the question through chat and of course as always, a clueless representative referred to features of EMV. My hopes of them understanding contactless went out the window a long time ago.

Also, everyone's supposed to look at the back of the card at least once to sign it--and potentially many additional times to get the CVV2 for online purchases. (Yes, not everyone signs their cards nor does anyone really check. That's a different discussion for another thread.)
