As Sirtheta points out these offers are not new. I think these might expire on March 31st, 2017 but they will possibly be extended.
These offers are back, so reposting. Hopefully some people can provide more datapoints due to having accounts for their checking account bonus.

The Offers & Card Details
- HSBC has increased sign up bonuses on three of their cards, let’s take a look at each of them below
HSBC Premier World
- 40,000 points after $2,500 in spend within three months of account opening (standard is 25,000 points I believe)
- Card earns 1x points on all purchases
- Access to concierge service
- Must have a premier HSBC relationship to apply for this card. This requires $100,000 in deposit accounts with HSBC. Business owners can also use their commercial balances to qualify. If these monthly maintenance requirements are not met, a $50 fee per month is charged
HSBC Advance
- 25,000 points after $1,500 in spend within three months of account opening (not sure on the standard bonus unfortunately)
- No foreign transaction fees
- Card earns 1x points on all purchases
- Must have a premier or advance HSBC relationship (see premier requirements above).
HSBC Platinum Rewards
- 15,000 points after $500 in spend within three months of account opening (not sure on the standard bonus unfortunately)
- 0% Introductory APR for first twelve billing cycles on purchases
- No annual fee
- Card earns 1x points on all purchases
Our Verdict
Points are worth 1¢ a piece when redeeming for statement credit, Premier cardholders can get 1.5¢ when redeeming for travel (as statement credit). You can also transfer points to British Airways, Singapore Airlines & Cathay pacific (again I think this is premier cardholders only). They’ve had 30% transfer bonus when transferring to British Airways previously. I’m not that familiar with these cards, so if anybody has any personal experiences please share them in the comments and I’ll try to get some full reviews up soon.
