Great offer for the HSBC World Elite Mastercard – Up to 75,000 bonus points + first year annual fee waived
– RewardsCanada.ca
Of course only a few hours after we posted our Top 5 Credit Card sign up offers for October a new offer gets released that should be in that list! No matter, it gets its own post since it is a really good offer and will no doubt be on the list for November.The offer is from HSBC for their relatively new World Elite Mastercard. This is not their ‘Premier World Elite’ which is meant for people who bank at HSBC but rather this card is for any Canadian and it is essentially the same as the Premier version. When HSBC launched this card earlier this year it became obvious they didn’t want to only market their credit cards to those who bank with them, rather they now want to get into the entire lucrative Canadian credit card market. It is about time they did as Canadians, slow as they may have been to adapt, are learning they don’t have to get credit cards from the bank they bank with, rather they can get whatever card they like and HSBC wants part of that pie.Now enough backgrounder and on to the details of this great offer!Up until the end of the year you can apply for the HSBC World Elite Mastercard and get up to 75,000 bonus HSBC Rewards Points along with having the first year $149 annual fee waived…RBC to WestJet transfer bonus returns – 10% bonus until November 15
