Multiple HSBC cards

I've read HSBC is strict on how many of their cards you can have. If I have an Orchard secured card, would I still be able to apply for a Best Buy card, or will I be declined for already having an HSBC backed card? Just trying to be cautious with inquiries. thx

Re: Multiple HSBC cards

I had a regular HSBC card and applied for a David's Bridal card. I didn't have any problem getting it. I found out later it was through HSBC.

I have a Orchard Platinum card, and I was approved last week for a Best Buy rewards Gold MasterCard. I'm assuming you can have more than one cc backed by HSBC.

Re: Multiple HSBC cards

Your account must be at least 18 months apart or they will hit you with a hard pull without even considering you.

You will be shown an error message that says the reason for decline is " You where recently approved for an HSBC acount".

This is not true. I dont know where you got 18 months. I got two HSBC cards within 30 days of each other. Maybe you applied for another HSBC of the same type. I got a regular household bank card and less than 30 days later got the best buy reward zone mastercard. So I know you can have at least two and you dont have to wait 18 months. I have had great luck with them though. My RZMC I got a CLI by asking upon activation and two months later got an auto CLI. So HSBC has been very good to me and in turn I am using their cards for everything possible as I rebuild.
