I have received offer from the HSBC to move to HSBC Premier Mastercard Metal card. Has anyone else on the forum received such offer or does anyone already has the metal card version of the Premier Card? Curious to learn about experience.

A 3% reward rate is bound to cause some arousal atleast for a LTF card.
Have been getting 3 points/100 INR lately on all transactions and only fuel as exception where surcharge is waived.
Can you elaborate some of the great benefits .. A reward rate of 2% does not really give me orgasmic pleasure ..

How you request for metal card waiver? Over the call or mail and what exactly you asked.
My card just got approved.
I met my RM personally. It’s all in their hands and mine was good. I asked him to place request for approval for spend waiver criteria for metal card. He got it approved.

Official criteria is spending 20L.
I asked my RM for waiver of spend criteria and process metal card approval.
I got an email yesterday for the metal card. Complimentary for one year and chargeable with annual fees of 20k if premier criteria not met.

I also received this mail today morning.
My metal card was approved in October before these changes were made after taking approvals for spend waivers.
Then I was getting 3 points/100 INR all through November.
Now they’ll send metal card to all premier card holders can’t say or these features would be activated on old card itself let’s see with time

I did not pursue this earlier as I was not aware of reward rate. 3% is decent rate plus the forex markup of .99%. I will speak with RM on Monday for the metal card. How is the card feel wise? I mean how does it compare to Infinia?

I don't have a metal card and still got the email.
So prima facie, looks like these features will be activated on the existing card itself.

The metal card surely looks and feels great in hand, plastic one is nothing in comparison. Haven’t weighed it, but it’s comparable Plat Charge. I don’t have infinia so can’t say, but yes premier metal card is a looker.
