HSBC Step Up Promo - Part 2

[GrandJedi]

i just called HSBC, they say no min.

If I buy $500 of unit trust one time, I will fulfill the "wealth holder" condition perpertually for HSBC EGA?

I am trying to look for something in writing so I can be 100% sure.

How do you buy though?

For this rates, I only need to register via SMS with the EGA ######## right?
I saw below there s a "two steps" statement. If it's just 5 credit card transaction, that can be easily done.

Do you have a EGA account opened on or before 31 Jan 2025 ?

Separately from the EGA Bonus interest promo t&cs, refer to the Unit Trust website to see what is the minimum transaction amt. https://www.hsbc.com.sg/wealth/investments/products/unit-trusts/ (scroll down):

Lump Sum Investment - Minimum SGD1,000 placement

Regular Savings Plan (RSP)
- Minimum first investment of SGD1,000
- Subsequent investment of as low as SGD100 per month

Typo again? Why it says registered for the Apr EGA

If u have wealth holdings in your main account, does it also applies to all your joint accounts?

 

[hip_programs]

yes. the sms registration is for 2.7% right?

For those on the Mar, Apr and May promo cycle, if I withdrew the funds on Apr 3 can I transfer it back on May 2? This will be less than 30 days and there is a condition that funds cannot be withdrawn and re-deposited within the last 30 days but I think this rule does not apply since I'm in the same promo cycle. What do you think?

I thought it should be based on Feb average balance, regardless if you withdraw or not during the promo cycle. no?

if it is a newly approved GIRO esp credit card bill, check the credit card statement to ensure it is mentioned to be deducted via GIRO.
