Earn 4 Miles per S$1 on Dining, Online and Entertainment - HSBC Advance Visa Platinum
If you do not have a UOB Preferred Platinum American Express card which gives 4 miles per dollar on dining, chances are that you are now unable to apply for it anymore - existing cardholders should have them until they expire. The greatest alternative to the aforementioned card is probably the HSBC Advance Visa Platinum card but did you know that you have to be a HSBC Advance account holder in order to apply?

What is HSBC Advance?
It is a type of preferred bank account with HSBC. While it may not require as much funds (usually S$200,000) as a Priority Bank Account, you still need to maintain a minimum balance of S$30,000. HSBC does not require you to put everything upfront though - all you have to do is satisfy one of the following conditions:
- Home Loan with an initial loan quantum of at least S$200,000
- Salary credit of S$3,750 per month, with 24 months grace period from Advance relationship opening to reach Total Relationship Balance of at least S$30,000
- Reoccurring deposit of at least S$2,500 per month, with 24 months grace period from Advance relationship opening to reach Total Relationship Balance of at least S$30,000
