HSBC credit cards redefine holiday shopping

With Christmas just around the corner, bargain-hunting for gifts and seasonal goodies seem to have already got underway. As with each year, HSBC has the holiday spirit going in full swing, offering something new to kick off the festivities, with the emphasis on a redefined season for all HSBC credit cardholders.

HSBC is redefining customer expectations with an unprecedented seasonal splash that offers a sleigh full of everything imaginable at eye catching discounts from 20% to 70% and it all begins from 15 November 2012.

HSBC has partnered with over 100 merchants to enable Christmas shoppers to obtain their gift lists and wish lists, be it daily essentials, retail, fuel, dining, travel and lodging, household electronics and furniture, with daily deals on specified dates and super weekends during every weekend leading up to Christmas that is sure to make the season truly wonderful.   

As gift giving is at the top of the mind, many popular Christmas presents, such as cameras, jewellery, perfumes, mobile phones, laptops and household electronics, to a whole range of branded merchandise like clothing, toys, footwear, watches and other accessories, will be an affordable choice to cardholders as they treat themselves as well as those they love.

Moreover, cardholders can save Rs. 10 on every litre of fuel from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays at any fuel station island-wide. Shopping for everyday essentials will be an enjoyable experience, at Keells Super and Super K outlets with a saving of 20% on fresh veggies, meat and seafood, stationary and much more.

To celebrate all things festive, HSBC will also conduct a host of in-store and outdoor activities as well as online games such as ‘bag the bag’ to engage and involve customers during the season. Prizes will vary from Samsung Galaxy S3 mobile phones to valuable voucher giveaways and other surprises.   

“We are extremely happy to launch our seasonal campaign with the best deals in town supported by the largest network of merchants in the country. This exuberant network of merchants will give our cardholders a greater shopping experience that will no doubt exceed their expectations during the season.

“The concept is apt in that it offers affordability during a high spending season and as the market leader in credit cards, we envisage that this would increase the momentum of holiday shopping and benefit all our stakeholders,” stated Nilantha Bastian, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management.

Home ware and household items will no doubt be in high demand as shoppers ready themselves for visitors during Christmas as they upgrade from old to new. Be it furniture or electronics, cardholders can enjoy discounts as well as 0% instalment plans with no surcharge at leading retail stores and a variety of lodging and dining deals to celebrate with visiting family and friends this season..
