HSBC Cash Rewards Mastercard
The HSBC Cash Rewards Mastercard offers 1.5% cash back on online purchases up to $6,000. You can earn cash rewards at this rate on online subscriptions, food delivery and streaming services. Cardholders earn 1% cash back on grocery, gas and drug store purchases. Everything else yields cash back at a rate of 0.5%.
If you apply for the credit card before May 31, 2023, you can earn an additional 12.5% cash back* on all purchases for the first 180 days. The only limitation is a maximum purchase amount of $1,000. In Quebec, the HSBC Cash Rewards Mastercard special offer is slightly different. Apply before May 31, 2023, and keep your account open and active for 180 days to receive a $125 cash back bonus.
You can redeem your cash rewards at any time with HSBC. The only limitation is you must have earned a minimum of $25 in cash rewards before making a redemption. Cash rewards can be used as a statement credit or put towards a mortgage or savings account.
The HSBC Cash Rewards Mastercard doesn’t have an annual fee. The interest rate is standard at 20.99%. For balance transfers and cash advances, the interest rate is 22.99% (21.99% in Quebec). The credit card comes with additional perks and benefits, including mobile device insurance, extended warranty and purchase assurance. Cardholders have the option to add on travel and medical insurance with an extra cost.
