      HSBC Advance Card

      Worst CS ever. Cancelled the card since HSBC is one of the few who charge ridiculous fees for crypto related transactions. Requested for my credit balance to be transferred to another credit card and after 3 months, the transfer is still lost in transit despite many attempts to contact them via app chat & telephone call. The CS will tell you that they are putting up an "urgent" request but nothing is heard back from them for over 2 weeks until I have to call them again.

      Ancient website and statement updates. Good old fashioned phone customer service that is top notch. Great if you’re an uncle who likes to speak to tellers

      HSBC Advance Card

      [Hidden Terms] I bought some cryptocurrency on this card and was charged quite a few different fees such as the cash advance fees, interest debit adjustment. Furthermore, there was billed finance charges on the cash advance fees, which kept accuring until from the purchase date. I was shocked that they went ahead with those charges as I usually only pay my bills once a month. [Customer Service] I've been waiting for a reply from the "relevant department" for 3 months and counting. [Fee Waivers] So far no reply from their customer service.

      Getting a fee waiver is not easy with HSBC. Cs support is not very helpful too. App ui is friendly but it will take sometime for your payments to your bill to reflect

      My favorite card with auto waiver of membership fees! Never had to call their customer service. Very good for people with inconsistent spending

      [Useful For...] erratic spenders! personally, some months I can spend $100 while other months up to $800. This card works for me as it is fuss free - I do not have to track my spending by category and can gain cashback across most spending.

      [Promotions and Perks] They also have the free entertainer lite with HSBC. (Previously I paid $5 for this, but now they have made it free for everyone). To "Trial" how entertainer is like before going on for a full subscription. [Cashback Card] Fuss free 1.5% for all spending.

      HSBC Advance Card

      I have tried few credit cards (cashback/miles) from other banks but at the end I still prefer to use this card for most of my transactions. I am using the HSBC Advance account hence the cashback of 2.5% is pretty decent (cap at S$125 per month) with no minimum spend (additional 1% if the spend is over S$2k). [Fee Waivers] There is perpetual annual fee waiver for HSBC Advance banking customers. I am amazed that they auto-waived the fee without having to make the phone call. [Customer Service] I was able to connect with their agents fairly quickly as compared to other banks via phone call. They were helpful and able to answer my queries. [Promotions and Perks] You can download ENTERTAINER with HSBC app to get some 1-for-1 deals and discounts. [Card Hacks] So far I am getting cashback from Grab topup (Update: No more cashback from Grab topup after 15 Jul 2020). [Others] Samsung Pay does not support HSBC credit cards for now.
