HSBC’s credit card promo sucks!
April 29, 2008
For the past few months, HSBC has been running a promotional campaign to push their credit cards to the market.
From February 1 to May 31, for example, they are giving away a free Kenneth Cole Reaction Wallet and Key Fob to qualified individuals who apply for an HSBC credit card. Previously they offered free Mango and Timex and Dunlop watches.
But some cardholders are complaining that although it’s been months since they qualified, they are still waiting until now to receive the gift items. Read on.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

To all loved, lovestruck, lovely, lovable, loving, in love… Happy Valentine’s Day!
Share the love because what the world needs now is love, sweet love!
And to Breeze, congrats for winning the $25 Valentine’s Day Message contest! The message was chosen among 50+ entries because of the simplicity and sincerity of the post.
Lek, I will never forget the love you have showered me and the children the twenty-odd years of our time together.
Though trees may wither and flowers may fade, our love will always remain.
Though you are now in a faraway place, you will always be in my heart.
While you have left me forever, your lingering presence is always a pillar of strength to me in all that I do.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
The rest of the entries are also good, but some are either too generic or too Hallmark-y. To win a contest such as this, the message has to be fresh and unique.
Having said that, we also recognize three other entries which stood out from the pack. Each of them will receive P100 cellphone load or P100 cash to be deposited to their bank account.
