HSBC transfer partners

20 bank routes out across 1 currency — every ratio in our-points : partner-miles. Cards that ride each currency are chipped below it, and every route carries the date we last read the ratio out of its source document.

20 of 20 of these routes publish how long the transfer takes, and 0 publish a minimum you have to clear. The rest publish neither and say so — we don't fill a blank with a plausible number.

Every window below names who says so — 20 of 20 rest on a document HSBC or the receiving programme published itself — every one of them. None yet carry a stopwatch of our own — we publish those as we run the transfers, never before. How we time transfers →

Nothing on this currency publishes a window that short. The routes that might be fast enough are the ones publishing no time at all — we won't guess for them.

No way out — HSBC's closed loops

Taj Reward Points (HSBC Taj) · HSBC Cashback (HSBC Live+, HSBC RuPay Cashback) · HSBC Spencer's Retail Reward Points (HSBC Spencer's Retail Classic) — these currencies have no transfer partner and no onward programme hop either. Both files were checked: a currency listed here is a genuine dead end, not one whose exits simply live in the other file. Redemption value is whatever the catalogue pays; the card pages carry the honest ₹/point.

How long do HSBC points take to transfer?
