When it comes to transferring partners, which company comes to mind? Is it Chase? American Express? Maybe even Citi or Capital One. In this article we talk about another bank that almost never gets any recognition for this, but do still offer transfer partners. If you happen to have a point earning HSBC card, you are about to get more options in the way of your points.
The News
HSBC has added the ability to transfer their points over to Emirates. Best of all, they will transfer at a 1:1 rate. Emirates will now be HSBC’s 8th transfer partner after: Aer Lingus AerClub, AeroMexico Club Premier, British Airways Executive Club, Emirates Skywards, Iberia Plus, Jet Airways JetPrivilage, and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Miles.
Final Thoughts
As always, I’m happy to see more options available for each and every transfer program. I’ve always thought that Emirates had pretty high fuel surcharge fees and the like, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want the option available. Maybe you can find a good redemption, so why should I not want that.
If you have a good Emirates redemption, through HSBC, let us know down in the comment section below what you find and what the value of the points you’re redeeming.
