Credit Card Offers 50,000 bonus KrisFlyer miles with new HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card

Has anyone received their 25000 kris flyer points for reaching the 4k spend on the card yet. Got my card in December and met spend but no points yet. I have my Gold status though.

I am in the same boat and curious when I will receive the 25000 KrisFlyer points too!

Thank you, I should have read the T&Cs.

Curious as to whether it will be posted directly to Krisflyer, or as 31,250 (25,000/0.8) star alliance points?

I think it goes straight to your krisflyer account since it's a Singapore airlines promotion

Mine appeared dated 27/1, applied in Nov/Dec too, hit the threshold early Dec (my deadline date for selecting an airline was 23/12).

Direct to SQ.

This is a good point. I don't know how much they do share - I would assume that at least the Star Alliance Rewards portal is run/administered by HSBC or someone related to them, so they'd need that consent to be able to link/transfer points, but the status part I'm not sure. The T&Cs say that SQ simply won't process the upgrade if your status is equal to/higher than what you'd gain from the card, but that's not the case with other carriers (AC will extend your status, for example).

I met the required spend, got an email saying this:

Congratulations on achieving an important milestone with Star Alliance Rewards. You are now eligible for Star Alliance Gold Status.

You can now choose the Status Airline with which you wish to receive your status according to the terms of Star Alliance Rewards. You can change the Status Airline in your Star Alliance Rewards Account until (date of my next statement cycle), 23:59 AEDT. Subsequently, we will request the status from the Status Airline that is reflected in your account at that time.

I already selected SQ which is where I want my *A points to be transferred to.
No option of telling them I'm "already" Gold
I'll wait for the next statement cycle and check.
Currently no change to SQ status nor sign of any bonus KF miles.
