Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
I will write a full post on this later, which will go up tomorrow. However, for now, here is a quick taster.
HSBC has relaunched its HSBC Premier credit card this morning.
From today, for every £1 spent on your HSBC Premier Mastercard, you will receive:
1 Avios, or
1 Etihad Guest mile, or
1 Asia Mile, or
1 Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer mile
Now, there are strict requirements for HSBC Premier which will exclude a lot of people. I will cover this tomorrow, though.
For now, you can check out the details here.
