Hi Guys,
Recently I have received an HSBC Gold credit card which is supposed to be lifetime free as it is a Corporate card.
I received hundreds of calls from HSBC to apply for this card and it was only 1.5 months of mine joining the company.Ultimately to get rid of all these calls I applied for this card.They stated that the card is lifetime free for all the employees of my company and that was the primary reason of applying.
After some 3 months I received a letter from HSBC saying that they cannot proceed with it right now as my eligibility does not meet.
I was very relaxed as now I can get rid of all the calls and the card too but to my discomfort I received the card just 2 days back and since it is a lifetime free card I thought of keeping it.But when I called the customer care today to apply for the Netbanking password I asked the executive and she said that HSBC never issues any lifetime free card to anybody.
Now it is a bone that has stuck in my throat which I can neither throw nor digest.
So Guys beware before applying for a HSBC Corporate card which is promised to be Lifetime free!
