When do the new HSBC Revolution card earn rates start in Singapore?

The changes start on 1 April 2026. From that date, 4 mpd on travel and contactless becomes permanent, and an 8 mpd tier is available to customers who keep S$50,000 average daily balance in an HSBC Everyday Global account. Review the official terms when they are released.

How do I qualify for the 8 mpd Singapore tier on the HSBC Revolution card?

You need to maintain S$50,000 average daily balance in an HSBC Everyday Global account and use the card for eligible contactless or online spend. Check category definitions, any caps, and exclusions in HSBC’s terms to ensure your purchases qualify and that you meet all programme rules.

What are the key benefits added besides higher earn rates?

HSBC will upgrade the card to Visa Signature and reinstate travel insurance. These changes add better acceptance, some travel perks, and coverage. Paired with the higher miles earn, the HSBC Revolution card becomes more useful for daily contactless payments and for booking flights and hotels online.

What should investors monitor after this change?

Focus on Everyday Global deposit growth, CASA ratio, card-in-force, spend per card, and fee income trends. Also watch credit metrics, such as delinquency and revolve rates, and the cost per mile relative to funding savings. Strong adoption with stable risk would support HSBC’s Singapore earnings.
