HSBC - Up to £30 for Opening a Credit Card

Overview

HSBC is one of the UK's largest high-street banks. You can get £30 cashback on its Balance Transfer credit card (or £25 on the Purchase Plus card) when you apply through the cashback portal and get approved.

Boost It: Join Quidco First

This cashback is paid through Quidco, so you'll need an account. If you're new, join through our Quidco sign-up offer before you click through — you'll get an extra £10 sign-up bonus on top of the reward here.

How to Claim

1. Click the link on this page to go through the cashback portal (free account needed, paid out by bank transfer)
2. Use HSBC's eligibility checker first (soft search, no impact on your score)
3. Complete the whole application online and get approved
4. Make a balance transfer or a purchase within 3 months of activating the card
5. Cashback tracks within 24 hours and pays within around 3 months

Requirements

• You must not already hold an HSBC credit card
• UK resident, 18+, subject to a full credit check
• Application must be completed fully online — not over the phone
• The card must be used (balance transfer or purchase) within 3 months
• Standard cashback tracking rules — click through and apply in the same browser session, with ad blockers off

Important Terms

• A hard credit search appears on your file
• £30 is the portal's headline (increased) rate and may drop — check the amount shown before you click the 'Get This Offer' button; members on the free tier may see a lower amount
• Don't use a voucher code or apply for any other HSBC product through the same link
• Interest would quickly wipe out the cashback if you carry a balance outside a 0% period

Tips

• Set up a full-balance direct debit from day one
• Already banking elsewhere? See our HSBC switch offer for a much bigger bonus
• Space credit applications a few months apart to protect your credit score
