Everyday Global Account. If you're not an existing HSBC customer, then, as it says at Premier | Premium Banking Services & Support - HSBC AU "You can apply for an Everyday Global Account and HSBC Premier status at the same time." I can't do it online as I'm an existing customer - but my plan...

I have done a dry run through the application process, but not submitted. I can confirm earlier posts that indicate that you have to confirm that you will put $9000 through looks like it is enough to apply. I can't confirm if it is enough for it to be issued, but others might. I will be...

I checked my email history, and you're right. I was confusing myself between getting the email about Star Alliance status (which was the day after I cleared the $4,000 spend hurdle) and the awarding of status, which was 14 days later.

Banner still on the Australian Air Canada page: https://www.aircanada.com/au/en/aco/home.html Detailed landing page at Fast track your way to Aeroplan 50K Status with the HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card says "Offer Dates: September 25, 2023 to June 3, 2024†" Not sure where you were looking...

I seem to recall that I got mine within 48 hours (but may be wrong). You have to confirm your status choice by a certain date (was that 14 days, or a longer period like 45 days), or you're given points instead of status (that was my original planned strategy as I was going to use the points and...

1-a: 25 1-b: Uncertain at this stage. 2: Probably not, but doesn't hurt to start your process from the AC website. There's a big banner to click on. 3: I'll leave that for Star Alliance Rules Experts to confirm, but I'm guessing that if Thai is Star Alliance, then yes, subject to capacity &...

Yeah, that's a lot of money to maintain a card. I've never spent money on an annual fee (for no other benefits other than holding the card), and, up until now, I've not really considered it. Yes, I did have an Amex Platinum for a couple of years, but I made sure I got >> $1450 back in benefits...

Great find. I'm currently waiting for AeroPlan Family Sharing to be re-enabled, to combine 50,000 points for two HSBC Star Alliance accounts together (as well as earned points) and make the most of two HSBC Star Alliance accounts for a year before closing at least one of them. But the bulk of...

I still see this when I go to Family Sharing. If I try to invite someone (Mrs BJReplay), I get this

Great timing - Aeroplan Gold to end 25.

Yes. I haven't transferred any points (didn't want to until I was certain that the bonus points were going to land, and that Aeroplan was going to get Family Pooling working, as I have poor-man's Family Pooling working for Singpore: transfer to Virgin and back to Singapore - at a discount both...

Got my email 11 Dec. My points posted overnight, with a narrative "earned on December 10", so almost bang on 8 weeks after getting status, the points posted. Yes, but it failed as expected. I certainly hope that it is working by the time I am ready to merge the 50,000 points from Mrs...

I think you get gold on the date your statement is due, but I'm not sure, off the top of my head. I wouldn't panic quite yet. Make sure your email is up to date on the star alliance website.

If you read up on accounts being locked, you'll not be surprised. Mrs BJReplay was locked. It took around 8 hours of hold time over about three calls to get her unlocked, and that was an ordeal, only with an (empty, as it turns out) threat that we'd fly united instead if we couldn't access her...

Similar timing for me. Still waiting... I'm showing 50k status in Aeroplan, but no points...
