I have two HSBC RewardZone cards (one without an AF, one with a $39/yr fee). I just paid the balance off on my old one and am wondering how friendly HSBC is about combining cards, or if I closed the old one would they give a CLI on the new?
I had two low limit HSBC issued Orchard cards -- one a vanilla MC with a $500 limit, the other a 2% cash back Platinum Visa with a $800 limit, both with $39 annual fees. Last summer, I called a asked about combining the MC into the Visa. At that time, I was told it was no problem, there was a form to fill out, and no guarantee that my resulting CL would be the sum of the 2 existing ones. Went ahead and did the combine. Took about 1 week for the form to arrive which was a very bare bones form just verifying that I was requesting the combination. Mailed it back and it took another 3 to 4 weeks until the card combine was completed. Managed to get the full $1300 CL on the 2% cash back card. The MC was reporting as an open line with a $0 CL for another 8 months. No hard pull and except for the slow pace of the entire process, it was painless.
