HSBC offers more rewards

HSBC is giving away free trips for two to Hong Kong every banking day from July 17 to September 3. Starting June 3, every P100 spent using any HSBC credit card automatically entitles cardholders to a computer-generated raffle entry. The daily prize package includes roundtrip tickets for two to Hong Kong, including a three-day/two-night accommodation at the Marco Polo hotel and P10,000 pocket money.

"There is added value in owning an HSBC credit card and we encourage our customers to use their card as frequently as they can. One hundred pesos is all it takes to earn a raffle entry and cardholders get a chance to win more than once. They can win daily – if they’re lucky," said Rowell del Fierro, vice president for credit card marketing.

HSBC cardholders can continue to redeem REWARDS points for every P10 spent, the lowest points-conversion ratio in the industry.

HSBC’s REWARDS allows cardholders to enjoy the freedom of choice – the luxury to choose your own rewards – be it the usual merchandise items in a catalogue or REWARDS value vouchers ranging from P500 to P2000, which may be used with a minimum purchase requirement at participating establishments.

REWARDS points may also be converted to cash vouchers, which are as good as cash – or free airmiles in over 30 airlines. Through "instant rewards," cardholders are treated to exclusive discounts and perks at a wide selection of participating dining, shopping and travel establishments.
