HSBC American Express

Does anyone else have this card and are they reporting to any CAs? Received pre-approval in June, applied and was instantly approved - received card with $2500 CL. Have been using this card quite a bit since receiving in early July and balance has been around $650 each month. Funny thing is they are not reporting this account to any of the CAs - not even that it was opened. They did pull my TU in June to approve the account, but that's it. I know this is a new card offering for HSBC and they are just getting their online servicing up... suppose to be available soon. Guess I should use this card for high utilization until they start reporting. Just wondering if anyone else with this card is experiencing the same???

No idea except that HSBC reports all their Visa/MC accounts to the CRA's on the last weekday of every month.

I know my Amex Skymiles reports the previous months statement balance when the new statement is created. (always 30 days behind)

I would guess they will report to the CRA's Today.
it shows up on the report in 3 to 24 days.

If it doesn't call them.

I have 2 HSBC cards and they took about 3 months to start reporting. I'd say you should see it in a about another month.
