Easy way to use up HSBC travel enhancement credit during the pandemic!

 HSBC travel MasterCards offer travel enhancement credit(TEC) as one of the cards' features. The TEC amount is based on what kind of card you have.



The TEC is supposed to only work in the categories shown above, but the real world application is very broad. All types of airfare can be offset by the TEC. During the Pandemic, people are flying much less. One easy way of using it up is to book anything on Expedia.ca, which will trigger it and once it's posted, you can redeem it right away.


I booked a hotel stay on Expedia.ca instead of  through hotel's own web site so that I could take advantage of 200 dollars credit. The whole process is very smooth and the rewards portal even keeps a record of TEC redemption for 2 years.


It's my first time to redeem TEC on Expedia.ca. But the process is quick and smooth!

 If you have an iPhone, you can add digital Suica or Pasmo card to your iPhone or Apple Watch as a transit card. Unfortunately, Android phones, unless bought in Japan, won't work. If you have Canadian HSBC travel credit card, loading money to Suica or Pasmo card by HSBC credit card using Apple Pay counts as travel expenses, hence there is a 3% cash back.  Adding Suica or Pasmo to your iPhone is easy, in your iPhone wallet, touch plus sign on the right top corner, choosing Transit card, scrolling down to Japan, choose Suica or Pasmo, then agree the terms and add money using Apple Pay. Then you are all good to go!
