4 reward points for every Rs. 100 spent on flights, travel aggregators and in foreign currency, and 2 reward points per Rs. 100 on everything else with no cap. That uncapped 2-point base is the card's real strength — most cards in this catalogue drop to a fraction of a percent outside their named categories.
At 1 to 1. HSBC states the ratio plainly, which matters because most co-branded cards either bury the conversion or revise it later. It also means the card's 4-point travel rate and 2-point base rate can be read directly as miles per hundred rupees.
Only above Rs. 8,00,000 of annual spending — about Rs. 67,000 a month. Below that the Rs. 4,999 plus GST, which is Rs. 5,899, is payable every year. The welcome benefits are worth roughly Rs. 4,250, so the first year nearly pays for itself; from year two the rewards have to.
Six domestic and four international airport lounge visits every year, plus four complimentary rounds of golf and twelve golf lessons a calendar year. Ten lounge visits is a healthy allowance for the fee tier, though several cards here give more.
Salaried applicants aged 18 to 65 with an annual income of at least Rs. 6,00,000, and self-employed applicants aged 25 to 65 with an annual income of at least Rs. 12,00,000. The lower age bound of 18 for salaried applicants is unusually generous for a card at this fee.
3.5%, which the card's own terms state. That matters when reading the 4-point rate on foreign currency: the markup and the accelerated earning apply to the same spending, so they largely cancel. HSBC reserves its 0.99% markup for the separately named HSBC Premier Credit Card.
