Recent findings discovered while studying Google’s 2022 Major Searches Report mention that Malaysian consumers are keener to invest time, money and effort in experiences or luxuries to give themselves joy despite surrounding negativity. Within South East Asia alone, there has been a notable increase of 66% in travel, even compared to pre-pandemic times in Q4 2019. It seems that travel is coming back after a long hiatus caused by the pandemic.
With Malaysians looking for more accessible and worthy experiences to bring them happiness, HSBC aptly launched their TravelOne Credit Card in partnership with Mastercard. This new card is set to be a game changer for the travel scene, with a unique and exclusive feature to allow cardholders to instantly redeem travel rewards with selected leading airlines and hotel chains via the HSBC mobile banking app.
Taylan Turan, Group Head of Retail Banking and Strategy, HSBC Wealth and Personal Banking (WPB), excitedly states: “Customers tell us they want flexibility, incentives and discounts when they travel. We’re bringing them exactly that with the HSBC TravelOne Credit Card by allowing our customers to convert their points instantly with an extensive selection of favourite local Malaysian airlines like airasia Rewards and Malaysia Airlines, global leading airlines such as Air France and Air Canada, and hotels including Accor Live Limitless and Marriot Bonvoy.”
Travel is truly back, and it’s back in a big way; this is why a card that rewards you in the most convenient way and makes travel more seamless and hassle-free makes the most sense for experience-hungry travellers! Plus, with airline partners that are huge local favourites such as airasia Rewards and Malaysia Airlines, Malaysians consumers can be sure they will have access to the best possible rewards when booking their next travel core memory.
Turan goes on to share that HSBC’s ambition is to deliver products and services which meet the needs of their growing customer base in Southeast Asia. Thus, HSBC sets new benchmarks for travel convenience and is doubling down on developing new digital capabilities that match their customer’s borrowing needs and include benefits they can use and enjoy instantly.
