Interestingly, my Accor transfer (of a full 100 points, just to extend expiration) posted as coming from “STANDARD CHARTERED BANK INDIA.”
Not what I was expecting, and perhaps says something interesting about how they’re processing these on the backend, but very handy to have an Accor transfer partner at a vaguely reasonable rate (1 Accor point = EUR 0.02, so 1 HSBC point = EUR/USD 0.01).

I'm thinking of cashing out of HSBC. Got a ton of BA miles so can't see much reason to transfer to them Are Lingus, Qatar, or Iberia. Turkish and AF are easy to get via points with Chase, CapOne or Citi so does anyone have thoughts about better to move them to Qantas, Emirates and Air Portugal which have better transfer ratio or alternately EVA Air?

I see that HSBC has agreed to sell their profitable Canadian business to RBC. Unlike in the USA there is no indication that Premier customers will be retained by HSBC:

I'm sure many of you know this, but the HSBC Premier card gives 10% off hotel rates at Agoda. I've been staying at more independent hotels lately and am finding this benefit to be of great use. It beats hotels.com and booking rates 90%+ (inclusive of the 10% off). Booking owns agoda, so it makes sense agoda -10% always beats them. You can of course beat that by playing the cashback + loyalty program game at hotels.com, but I'm just as happy to get my discount upfront and lose out on the cashback. ymmv, but it's worth a look-see imo.

Have not noticed that before. It does have some terms (see below) but looks to be a broad benefit for any Mastercard World or World Elite card. Here is the link.

It appears there has been a significant devaluation for miles for conversions for British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus (all went from 1:1 to 1:25 to 1). However, from Dec 7 to Jan 3 2024, they are offering a 25% bonus transfer so at least it gets us back to 1:1 for that period.

DP - transferred HSBC points to BA Avios during the 25% bonus period. T&C's say "Bonus Avios will be awarded separately from the original transaction and will be credited to the customer within 7–10 business days."
However, I received the base transfer and 25% bonus miles immediately.
