Are you planning to apply for a new credit card? Why not try HSBC?
Having a credit card allows you to make purchases without having to bring cash all the time. This is helpful especially when you don’t have enough cash for big purchases or when you need to purchase something online like booking a flight or accommodation.
HSBC or Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is one of the leading banks in the Philippines. HSBC has an ongoing promo wherein if you apply for an HSBC Credit Card and when you reach a spend of Php 5,000 anywhere using your new card, you will get:
- A FREE cabin-sized American Tourister Preston Spinner 55 luggage
I got the same freebie last year when I applied for my HSBC Red MasterCard and I’m excited to use it for my 2-week vacation to our province next month.
Do you want to get this free luggage too? Here’s how…

Since I’m near Cubao, Quezon City, I redeemed mine at Rustan’s Gateway Mall. I suggest you call the the branch first before you go there to inquire if the luggage is available. Sometimes, they run out of stocks because there are also other people who redeem at the same branch.
There’s annual fee that you need to pay after a year of using the cc?
Yes, there is an annual fee.
Sometimes, they offer promo for free annual fees for supplementary. Please ask the bank representative if they offer this when you apply for a new credit card.
