$25 Bonus for Using HSBC Bill Pay
Jul 17, 2006 - 1:24 PM by Ken Tumin
HSBC is offering a $25 HSBC MasterCard Gift Card for checking account customers who sign up for bill pay and pay 3 bills online by August 15th. It's only for existing checking account customers. No promo codes are needed. Credit for this find goes to this SlickDeals thread. The page linked in the thread didn't have the details of this promotion, so I called HSBC and confirmed it with the customer service rep. Letters are being sent to customers with this promotion. Here's the HSBC Bill Pay overview.
I also asked if there were any other sign-up bonuses available. Unfortunately, the CSR wasn't aware of any currently being offered. Last month I reported on a $25 Best Buy Gift Card signup bonus for the Online Savings Account. This is only for Best Buy credit card holders and is still available (see post). The best bonuses were earlier this year when HSBC was offering a $25 cash signup bonus for the Online Savings Account and a $55 cash signup bonus for their Smart Checking Package. I was successful in receiving both of these.

I called HSBC to confirm the offer. Was told I would probably receive a $25 credit instead of a gift card. I was also told the 3 bills need to be PAID by Aug. 15th, not scheduled. In other words, the payments must be scheduled before the 15th, and paid by the 15th. Allow 5 business days for the payment date, so the payments need to be scheduled by Aug. 8.

Thanks for the clarifications.

I opened a checking acct. with hsbc on 7/14. Signed up for billpay on 7/17. Problem is: you're only eligible for the offer if you receive a letter from them concerning it, and they only send letters to those who have checking accts but haven't signed up for billpay or whose accts are inactive. So if you open a checking acct with them & want this offer, don't be so quick to sign up for billpay, and ask the rep to confirm you'll get a letter or the bonus before doing so.
