Don’t forget you can use the Boingo wifi account as a "roaming partner" for many in-flight wifi providers (eg Gogo or Panasonic), meaning free in-flight wifi as well
I’m not sure on what airlines you’re using Boingo for, but I’m 99% sure Boingo hasn’t been a roaming partner with GoGo in-flight Wifi for a while now.
Maybe you’re right, it’s been a while for Gogo but I’m 100% sure it works for PAC (i.e. have used on CX and LH multiple times)
Used to have this card; if you’re not a HSBC customer, the signup process sucks, need to visit a bank for an identity check and then back to the branch again to pick up the card.
The insurance is also sorely lacking for being a travel card.
Informative video Ricky. Agree it is an underrated card. Been using it for just over a year and a half as my regular daily driver non-Amex card and have used the points for some good Avios and statement credit redemptions.
Agree with others that HSBC is a pain to deal with and uses archaic systems/business practices. Luckily I was instantly approved and managed to get my online account all set up. Just hate how you can’t see any pending transactions, only posted. Will most likely keep this card for the long term. Would love the Jade version but this is about as far as I’ll go with HSBC given the issues people continue to raise with trying to do business with them.
Did you have an HSBC account already?
No
Agree with Eric. Good card but service is terrible.
Also, would like to know the answer to Teddy’s question…
yeah. tempting offer. But…then you have to deal with HSBC which is just a pain in the ass. Onerous security measures require visits to their not-exactly-plentiful branches. Their IT is extremely buggy,
During their last offer last fall I was so irritated that despite being approved for the card I walked away. It wasn’t worth it.
Had never considered this card, but now – in CovidWorld – a non AMEX with flexibility makes lots of sense. Especially the 180 day period to get to 5000$…
Thank you.
I heard many ppl have trouble getting it a 2nd time. What’s your take on this?
