HSBC Advance Credit Card

[Trazora]

Have you checked with HSBC regarding this? In the new terms, it's clearly stated under exclusion for GIRO bill payment:

• Payments to HSBC Credit Cards
• Payments to any financial institute and trading platforms relating to crypto-currencies, stock exchange and trades.

Unless payment made to credit cards are not considered payment to financial institute!

hsbc cso clarified the 2nd pointer here only excludes crypto/shares related

Time to hunt for new cashback cards and cancel this HSBC one. 1.5% cashback many other cards also giving this.

>$2k spend still have 2.5%

I will go with Citi Cashback+ and pay via Giro using HSBC EGA
1.6% + 1% rebate. No need to worry about minimum spend or rebate cap

actually this is a good point.

for HSBC advance, we need $2k spend just to hit 2.5% cashback
