HSBC Premier –Marriott TravelCard Promotion (“Promotion”)

1. This Promotion is valid from 4 January to 28 February 2010 (“Promotional Period”), both dates inclusive.
2. This Promotion is exclusive to new customers who start an HSBC Premier offshore relationship in Singapore during the Promotional Period.
3. New HSBC Premier sign-ups who qualify for this Promotion will receive a US$300 Marriott TravelCard (“Gift”). Alternatively, customers may opt for US$250 to be credited into their HSBC Premier MasterCard credit card account if they do not want the Marriott TravelCard as the promotion Gift.
4. To qualify for HSBC Premier, a total relationship balance (“TRB“) of at least S$200,000 or equivalent in deposits, investments and/ or insurance with HSBC is required.
5. Existing non-Premier HSBC customers may simply upgrade to HSBC Premier with a minimum TRB 'top-up' amount of (i) S$50,000 or (ii) the difference to meet the S$200,000 TRB criteria, whichever is higher through fresh funds.
6. To qualify for the promotion, new HSBC Premier sign-ups are also required to place a minimum of S$50,000 or equivalent (within the S$200,000 TRB criteria) in a 12-month time deposit or invest a minimum of S$20,000 or equivalent with HSBC and apply for an HSBC Premier MasterCard credit card by 30 April 2010.
7. To qualify for the promotion, new HSBC Premier sign-ups during the Promotional Period must fully fund their account and meet all the promotion criteria latest by 30 April 2010.
8. Qualified HSBC Premier customers who meet all the promotion criteria will receive the Gift or the US$250 credit to their HSBC Premier MasterCard credit card account by 31 May 2010 or such later date as HSBC notifies otherwise. The cash credit will be credited in Singapore dollar, subject to the exchange rate on the day of credit.
9. The TRB requirement must be met with only fresh funds, using non-HSBC cheque(s) and/or cashier's order(s). Transfers from existing HSBC Bank deposit accounts or via HSBC cheques, cashier's orders or demand drafts are not permitted.
10. Each HSBC Premier relationship (for the avoidance of doubt, each joint account is considered one relationship) is only entitled to one Gift or one US$250 credit.
11. The promotion is not applicable to customers who reside in Singapore.
12. In the event that the HSBC Premier account is closed within 12 months from the month of sign-up, the Bank reserves the right to charge an early closure fee of US$300.
13. Customers who have closed their HSBC Premier account in the last six months prior to (and inclusive of) the month of the Promotional Period are not eligible for this Promotion.
14. This Promotion is not valid with other offers or promotions unless otherwise stated. Only personal/individual accounts are eligible for the Promotion and terms and conditions governing personal deposit accounts will apply.
15. The Gift issued is not redeemable for cash. HSBC is not a supplier of the products and services offered under the Promotion and will not accept any liability in relation thereto. The use of the Marriott TravelCard will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the gift card.
16. The Gift is available on a while-stocks-last basis. HSBC reserves the right to replace the Gift with other item(s) of similar value without prior notice.
