I'd be interested to know if anyone can renew in NZ$ from the markis10 link above, by clicking [Hotels] from the site menu at the top, then selecting any New Zealand hotel. The price appears to change from A$260 to NZ$260 via that method, but not sure if you can then follow all the way through to 'checkout'.

i did this - i think the trick was to sign out and start from scratch otherwise it doesn't let you complete it

From memory I got the option of the $100 dining or extra BOGO last year when I renewed online, after clicking on the cough cough link ;) to get it down by 10%.

just checking - i cant use the card for food in Bali can I? It was great it Fiji..is there anything equivalent for use there?

discount with HSBC visa
 

I managed to sign up and get the 20% HSBC Visa discount in Australia. The operator didn't want to honour this offer originally. She asked to see the website and had to talk to a supervisor but eventually gave in. Now I just have to wait for the vouchers to arrive.

thats a very good deal!

i tried to purchase the card from New Zealand (with discount NZ$260) web site, but failed.
then i tried aus (AUD$260) web site, but failed as well.

should I give up?

sorry, i dont understand what does "start from scratch" mean...

I was able to renew on the NZ website last week at $NZ260- received confirmation email but haven't yet got my renewal pack.

If you look back a few pages I had the same problem last October. I ended up signing up using the HSBC discount over the phone (after I had been told twice they couln't do it over the phone and I had to do this online despite the HSBC site specifically saying you had to call :( ). Anyway, I did NOT receive the $100 dining voucher in the end despite asking repeatedly whether I would loose any benefits if I joined again (you have to join again and will get a new number when you use the HSBC promotion). They only told me that I would not have my correct "member since" date on the card as I would join from scratch...but I didn't care about the date. I have complained a number of times but given up now. Won't use the HSBC code again this year...

I also tried joining via the NZ$ rate but never succeeded. Good luck and let us know how it went

I had the same problem in China. I called and they came to my office. Great savings through the program.

Yep - the confirmation email includes my AU address. I was using a different computer than normal, so no cookie issues.
