Why we like the HSBC Star Alliance credit card

Launched in 2022, the HSBC Star Alliance credit card is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. You'll earn Star Alliance Points which are transferable to a choice of seven Star Alliance member airlines at a time of your choosing. You can also earn Star Alliance Silver or Gold status just by spending on the card, with no flying required!

Once you qualify for the welcome offer and are fast tracked to Star Alliance Gold status with any of the seven participating carriers, you’ll soon be enjoying perks like airport priority lanes and lounge access when flying across the whole Star Alliance network. It is the largest airline alliance in the world with 25 member airlines, including Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, United and Turkish Airlines.

Please note that the welcome offer is not available to existing HSBC customers transferring from another HSBC credit card, or if you have previously held a HSBC Star Alliance credit card within the last 18 months. Refer to the full T&C’s for more information:

I probably cancelling this card, it is just doesn't work for me.
I have mortgage, so cannot use sniip on that. As well as council rate doesn't count toward spending on this card as well. I travel international twice a year, but then 3% international fee isn't nice, I ended up use other card with better exchange rate and fee waived.

Is this status match perpetual ie as long as you have that Marriott status or only a one time thing? Sorry to be lazy and ask just thought you might know the answer. TIA for your help
