Another $25 Bonus at HSBC for Using Bill Pay
Oct 27, 2006 - 9:02 AM by Ken Tumin
HSBC is offering a $25 HSBC MasterCard Gift Card for using its Free Bill Pay to pay three bills online by November 30, 2006. Here's the HSBC promo page. It seems available to both new or current HSBC checking account customers. Note, the Online Savings Account doesn't have a bill pay option.
HSBC does offer a free checking account with no minimum balance requirements or monthly fees. Also, the first order of checks are free. One downside to the Free Checking is that there's a $1.50 fee for using non-HSBC-owned ATMs. Also, HSBC will convert the Free Checking into Basic Checking (which has a $3/month fee) after three months of inactivity. Note, the required activities include ATM usage or checks. ACH transfers and bill pay don't count.
Even though HSBC's Online Savings Account doesn't have the best rate (currently 5.05% APY), it has remained competitive. The Online Savings Account combined with the checking account does make a nice combo package.

Cool, I just applied for an HSBC card in hopes of getting the 5% cash back on gas & groceries. I hope they are continuing this program after I get the card.

Not sure about current customers who have online accounts...you do have the login option (signup will just prompt you to create an account) under the promo page, ie, to get the promo but I'm just getting a redirect to main login page.
Anyway..perhaps that is just a unique experience.

I don't remember having any major problem with logins at HSBC. I was able to log in yesterday. Every now and then I have a little trouble at most bank websites. I would call if you still can't log in by tomorrow.
