This credit card is quite similar to the HSBC World Elite® Mastercard®, but with a few slight differences and improvements. It costs $149 a year, offers you 60,000 bonus points at sign-up, and allows you to enjoy it for free during the first year thanks to the first-year full rebate.

Note that this card is available exclusively for HSBC Premier clients. To capitalize on its perks, you need to be a Canadian resident, have an income of over $80k as an individual or $150k as a family, reach a total mortgage of $500k, or deposit over $6,500 to your HSBC Premier account.
