HSBC UK new year offers to help customers thrive
From the 2nd January until further notice, new customers1 will have the choice of three offers when switching their current account to HSBC using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS):
- The HSBC Premier Bank Account2 Luxury Stay offer which, in addition to a choice of 50 luxury hotels and linked experiences, now offers the choice of a Family Getaway at a range of Merlin hotels, including Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Legoland. This package is valued at £3303 on average.
- The HSBC Advance Bank Account4 offer of £150 in cash paid into the opened account within 30 days of switching. In addition, the account offers preferential rates, exclusive offers and more.
- The HSBC Bank Account offer of £75 in cash paid into the opened account within 30 days of switching. To be eligible for this everyday account, customers need to pay in a minimum £500 per month (or £3000 over 6 months).
In addition to the current account offers there are new offers on the following HSBC UK credit cards from 4th January until 2nd March 2019:
- HSBC Balance Transfer Card, HSBC Advance Card and HSBC Classic Credit Card provide £25 cashback when new cardholders either spend or make a balance transfer of a minimum of £300 within 60 days of the opening date (subject to availability).
- HSBC Premier Credit Card5 new cardholders will get 10,000 bonus reward points when they either use their card for purchases or complete a balance transfer to the value of at least £1,000 within 30 days of the opening date.
There is also 0% interest on balance transfers for 18 months6 and 0% interest on purchases for 9 months7 on the Premier, Balance Transfer and Advance cards.
Tracie Pearce, HSBC UK’s head of retail said: “While people are soul-searching and looking at how they can make 2019 better than 2018, they would do well to to take a look at their finances. If they have had the same current account for a while it might be worth their while spending a short amount of time switching and taking advantage of one of our offers.
“A new credit card and balance transfer might also work for those with existing credit card debt, so debt could not only be more affordable, but credit cards also provide additional protection should there be an issue with the delivery or quality of an item.”
