HSBC AmEx?

[Anonymous]

DH got this cards in January, invitation, online app and approval, $3800. I don't remember who they pulled but his scores were in the low 700s.

After I dust my Bestbuy RZMC on 11/08, this will be HSBC's chance of doing business with me again! I will apply for this card 12/08!

Yes the card exists.  Hard to find out anything about it online.  I was sent a preapproval in Feb, but was declined at the time had 3 HSBC accounts already opened.  Closed 1 (was closing it anyway) and wanted to reapply, but they would not let me use the same  pre approval code twice.  Got another preapproval in the mail for their plat m/c and just accepted that one instead because since I had not found any info online about it, I thought they stopped offering it anyway!

I applied to the HSBS AmEx straight up without a pre-approved offer.

Even though I'm holding a HSBC MC, I was denied for this. The CSR told me the approval was higher for the AmEx than for the regular HSBC product

Jay,

see if you can get them combined.  I have had great luck doing it for the HSBC Discover cards.  I am in the process of combining for the second time and I have never had to fill out any forms.  The first time the CL showed up in about a week.  This one is taking a little longer, but I called back yesterday and was told that there are not hitches, and it should go through in a few more days.  The number I call is 800-843-4885.  Hopefully, they can help with the Orchard accounts.  I have been told that so long as they are the same brand of card, they can be combined.

When you say brand of card, do you mean HSBC with HSBC and Orchard with Orchard, or Visa with Visa and Discover with Discover?
