    Seems better then my HSBC Platinum Credit Card, that now costs $149 per year.

      This seems like a free version of Platinum but need to be Premier first

    • Jamesx on 15/03/2024 - 09:07

      To have HSBC Premier status you need to Hold $150k+ in a HSBC account or deposit $9k every month into an account. please be aware of this ##Australian HSBC customers demand action over $6.3m 'spoofing' scam##
      HSBC just dont give a shit! Typical colonial tradition.

      • utsc on 15/03/2024 - 09:56

        What happens if the card holder does not meet the requirements after the card issued?

        That is withdraws the $150k deposit or stops monthly $9k after the card is issued

        • daoddv on 19/03/2024 - 23:53

          I think I read that somewhere if you are not qualified for 6 (or maybe 3) consecutive months, you are not premier anymore. But no problem with the card.

        • orangutan on 30/03/2024 - 07:58

          According to HSBC the card may be withdrawn, this is what they told me, I suppose they will probably give a bit of notice if so.

      • foxmulder on 15/03/2024 - 18:21

        HSBC serious Saver accounts only gives out 3.3% pa, thus you will lose out $2700 per year for that $150k by not putting your money elsewhere.

        • hamwhisperer on 16/03/2024 - 05:40

            -3

            @hamwhisperer: Obviously don't use it. That wasn't the point I was making.

            All it took was 2 airport lounges and apparently that's enough to convince people to take 5 digit lines of credit?

            • bigtimmyc on 16/03/2024 - 12:46

              @bigtimmyc: **lounge passes

            • dongltron on 17/03/2024 - 00:00

              @bigtimmyc: Yes mate, because people here are much more likely to be financially tuned in and not stupid enough to get into crippling credit card debt.

              You're focusing a lot on the lounge passes, but Qantas points and the many other benefits that are standard across most credit cards are also pretty beneficial. Why use a debit card when you can earn points on the credit card that you USE as a debit card with ONLY money you have. That's how you're meant to use them.

  • fuzor on 14/03/2024 - 23:43

    What a great card for no annual fee! The only downside is the minimum credit amount of $10000

    • Dark Zeus on 14/03/2024 - 23:47

      Is that mean to spend $10k minimum per year?

      • fuzor on 14/03/2024 - 23:52
        +5

        No its a free country, you spend however much you want to spend. No one's gonna dictate your spending amount. Its just credit amount is set at min $10,000. I prefer having a lower amount so it doesn't affect your borrowing capacity.

            Now looking at Bankwest platinum which has 0 fees, no international transaction fees and travel insurance

            • legelas on 15/03/2024 - 10:50

              @ccir: Same here. When my annual fee lapses, I will move on. 15k a year is doable, but not 2k a month

          Correct me if Im wrong but I dont think there is a card that lets you get points AND no transaction fees. Its normally one or the other. I would take the no fees anyday.

            • UrMumsOnlyFan on 16/03/2024 - 01:56

              @littlesoldier:

              no international transaction fee

              My brief experience testing the Citi Diners against multiple other cards showed a consistently lower exchange rate, which therefore may as well have been a fee. No free lunch.

              In any event, Diners is done - Australians lose appetite for Diners Club, all accounts closing soon

              A statement on the brand’s website confirms the imminent departure, noting “As of 15 April 2024, Diners Club will no longer offer Diners Club Business Cards issued in Australia.”

              Of course, the revelation doesn’t come as a complete surprise. The closure of Diners Club’s business membership arm closely follows the end of personal accounts, which ceased in Australia on January 31 of this year.

    Seems good, but you need to hold HSBC Premier customer status in Australia.

        Not sure unfortunately, but it doesn't not stipulate it in the terms.

        Accounts Terms
        This includes funds paid into any HSBC Australia transaction account, savings account, mortgage offset account or home loan account. It excludes funds deposited in foreign currency and funds transferred from another HSBC Australia account, including from another HSBC customer.

          As long as it's transferred from another bank (other than HSBC)
          then you will be eligible to meet the $9000 monthly deposit requirement

    I think OP should mention only HSBC Premier customer can apply for this card…

    • fuzor on 15/03/2024 - 01:02

      Yeah good point! I just read that to be eligible you need savings balance of $150000

      • littlesoldier on 15/03/2024 - 01:04
        +3

        or $9000 deposit monthly

        As long as you have $9000 from another bank
        you can set auto transfer to HSBC of $9000 once a month
        and set auto transfer back to your other bank the next day

        • fuzor on 15/03/2024 - 01:11

          Oh right. I assumed that it was $9000 in income.
          Does it effectively mean if the $9000 transfers stop, then we'll not be able to continue to hold the Premier World card?

          • littlesoldier on 15/03/2024 - 01:21

            @fuzor: logically yes, but I have asked before that usually stopping for 1 month wont hurt your premier status

    This is a great card for those wishing to earn Qantas points on spending

    Just threw an enquiry, hopefully i get this jas the platinum till they added the $149 fee to it for years

    Prior to that the Fee was reimbursed after you spent 3k on the card

    The lounge passes are actually great and there free insurance covers more then my current Amex card

  • almostfrench on 15/03/2024 - 03:26

    Having this credit card for years and I didn't know about these passes until they emailed saying they have switched to Dragon Pass, perfect timing for my overseas trip end of last year. 2 passes used, not wasted :-)

    • FurioG on 15/03/2024 - 07:35

      You didnt miss out, before the switch it was discounted lounge passes, something like usd 30 if im not mistaken, free lounge passes is new with this switch.
