Standard Chartered Launches First Credit Card on the American Express Network

The Standard Chartered American Express Card provides cardholders with 2 incredible rewards schemes offering the highest rewards on spending in town. Cardholders can enroll in a Bonus Points Scheme that offers 4 times the number of Bonus Points whenever and wherever they spend. That’s much faster than on any other credit cards in HongKong. Alternatively, Cardholders can choose to enroll in a Cash Rewards Scheme that earns them 1% cash back on all purchases on the Card and 8%* cash back when they shop at major supermarkets and department stores all over Hong Kong. Other privileges that make for a more rewarding shopping experience include a free Starbucks coffee upgrade and exclusive year-round merchant discounts and offers provided by both Standard Chartered and American Express. The Standard Chartered American Express Cardholders will also enjoy the peace of mind that comes from being part of the global network of American Express. Cardholders can access immediate assistance should they need help when traveling either through 24-hour emergency assistance or through the American Express’ 2,200 Travel Services locations worldwide. Existing Standard Chartered Platinum, Gold and Classic cardholders can simply request the new Card by phone on 1836 333. New customers not already holding a Standard Chartered credit card can take advantage of this new great product by applying for a Standard Chartered Classic, Gold or Platinum Credit Card at the same time. There is no card fee on the new Standard Chartered American Express Card. Applicants who successfully apply on or before 30 April, 2006 will be able to enjoy the first year Rewards Scheme Annual Fee waiver (which is HK$250 per year).
