    • You have to make 2 gift selections: one “Lightning Deal” and one “Backup” gift

Update: those who made two applications will be able to get two promos (as mentioned below) as long as they signed up before 10.22PM, 17th May 2024. 

However, after this timing, applicants can only enjoy this promo once. (Special thanks to Seth!)

Pro tip: you can get this sign-up bonus twice, as HSBC sees the 4 participating cards in 2 separate pools

Pool A: HSBC Revolution, Advance and Visa Platinum cards
Pool B: HSBC TravelOne

If you do not hold any HSBC card from one pool, you can apply for a card from that pool and qualify for the sign-up bonus as a new cardholder.

If you do not hold any card from both pools, you can qualify for the sign-up bonus twice!

Participating Products:

  • HSBC TravelOne Credit Card
    • HSBC TravelOne is considered a separate pool from the below cards. Even if you own HSBC Revolution Credit Card, you’d still be considered a new applicant. Best case scenario: you can apply Travel One with any one of the below 3 cards to double dip on the promotion and double the rewards. However, you need to pay the annual fee to qualify for the rewards!
  • HSBC Revolution Credit Card 
    • Good 4 miles per dollar card with no minimum spend required I did a TikTok video recently on the update)
  • HSBC Advance Credit Card 
    • Great cashback card to earn 1.5% base cashback (below $2K per month). Above S$2K per month spending, you receive 2.5% cashback. The cashback is capped at S$70 per month (=S$2800 spending). Those who spend between S$2000-S$2800 will benefit.
  • HSBC Visa Platinum Credit Card
    • Enjoy 5% cashback on groceries, dining, and petrol with minimum $600 monthly spend.

Extra miles from Cashback vs Miles

You can earn extra miles with Cashback vs Miles campaign if you sign up for any of the cards below if Team Miles wins.

  • HSBC Revolution: 10,000 Max Miles (equivalent to S$100 gift card value)
  • HSBC TravelOne: 3,000 Max Miles (equivalent to S$30 gift card value) 

Max Miles can be converted into gift cards at a rate of 1,000 Max Miles = S$10. Remember to sign up for Heymax account first to receive 500 miles upon sign up and 500 miles upon completing 3 transactions and verifying your phone number.

 

Remaining applicants will choose from normal SingSaver exclusive gifts:
  • Receive a Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer (worth S$699) or Apple iPad 9th 10.2″ WiFi 64GB (worth S$508.30) or S$350 eCapitaVoucher or 21K Max Miles 
  • Promotion Period: 17 May (5pm) – 4 June 2024
  • Rewards Upgrade: Top up extra cash to receive a reward upgrade worth up to S$1,664.25.  
  • Promotion Period: 3 May – 2 June 2024

Conclusion:

  • If you’re a MILES chaser, consider getting HSBC Revolution Card. You may even score a extra another 10K Max Miles worth S$100.
    however if you value cashback or have big spending coming up, get the HSBC Advance Card since it allows you to spend S$2,000-S$2,800 unlike HSBC Revolution who only allows up to S$1,000 per month.

DBS Woman’s World Card

This card doesn’t offer any sign-up promotions. To make the most of your sign-up rewards, consider applying for the DBS Altitude card first. This is because you can combine points from both DBS cards, and the DBS Altitude card also includes two complimentary airport lounge passes.
