OFFER EXPIRED Last day to jump on the 100,000 point offer from HSBC for their World Elite Mastercard! That's $500 towards any travel or $300 cash back

 

THIS OFFER HAS EXPIRED

HSBC's
biggest and best offer for the HSBC World Elite Mastercard that is also one of the best ever bonuses ever seen in Canada (definitely in the Top 5 ever in terms of value) ends tonight! As we already mentioned just under two weeks we know for sure the offer is not being extended. The offer for all of Canada sans Quebec is up to 100,000 points which ties the highest ever points offer outside of Quebec. The PC Optimum World Elite Mastercard and ATB Gold My Rewards Mastercard have both offered 100,000 in the past but those two offers were only worth $100. On top of the 100,000 point bonus on the HSBC World Elite Mastercard this current welcome bonus also provides no annual fee in the first year for the primary cardholder. Those 100,000 points are worth $500 towards any travel and as that first year annual fee is waived you get the full value of that $500! Since Quebec doesn't allow the first year free waiver the offer there is a whopping 130,000 points (this is highest ever bonus in Canada numerically speaking) worth $650 towards travel but you do have to pay the annual fee so you end up with $501 in travel value.
