I have tried out almost all the credit cards offered by different banks in India. No, this is not my hobby but I have been almost forced by the
call center guys to get one and which I promptly cancelled within an
year of issue.
The
HSBC credit card is for those who dine at the Oberoi and stay at the
Taj when travelling and go on Star Cruise every six months. Well, that
the kind of discounts they offer you if you are an HSBC credit card
member.
Tell me honestly how many times have you been to a Taj or an
Oberoi with your family ( but not as part of official meets ). Compare
this with the kind of discounts offered by other credit card companies
on Air ticket booking, or at Petrol pumps, or on electronic items which
you may indeed want and would buy.
Or is the HSBC strategy
different, people are encouraged to spend more at expensive restaurants
so that they end up paying more money as interest to HSBC. Huh?.. good
one, but I won't be fooled by it, and you also be not!!
