Is the HSBC Global Money Account any good?

multi-curreny icon

Our rating:

With the recent launch of HSBC’s Global Money Account we assess its features and see how it compares to the best travel debit cards for spending abroad, and the best euro account for UK residents .

The HSBC Global Money account is a multi-currency current account allowing the holder to send, spend and receive money abroad with no additional fees. Set to rival the likes of Revolut and Wise, the new account launched in October 2022, and is currently available to HSBC customers directly from the banking app.

How much does the Global Money Account cost?

The account is free to hold and there are no fees when making debit card payments, cash withdrawals, or sending money abroad. Delivery of the physical debit card is also free, as are any replacements or reissues.

How do I open a HSBC Global Money Account?

It can be opened within seconds from the HSBC banking app, and as an existing HSBC customer there is no credit check for doing so. Once open, you can allocate your own PIN for the card and add the card to ApplePay and GooglePay immediately. The card issued is a VISA card, so serves making it a nice complement to those with Mastercard’s such as those issued by Starling, or Halifax Clarity.

Unfortunately, the account is only available to existing HSBC current account holders. That doesn’t include First Direct customers (which is a HSBC brand), or those with a basic bank account from HSBC.

If you don’t have a HSBC account, you can instead try HSBC’s new Zing app .

Which currencies can I hold with the HSBC Global Money Account?

The Global Money Account all­ows the account hold to hold balances in 18 popular currencies. We’ve added the full list of currencies below.

  • GBP – pound sterling
  • USD – US dollar
  • AUD – Australian dollar
  • ZAR – South African rand
  • PLN – Polish zloty
  • CAD – Canadian dollar
  • NZD – New Zealand dollar
  • CHF – Swiss franc
  • SEK – Swedish krona
  • HKD – Hong Kong dollar
  • AED – UAE dirham
  • CZK – Czech koruna
  • NOK – Norwegian krone
  • DKK – Danish krone
  • SGD – Singapore dollar
  • JPY – Japanese yen
  • CNH – Chinese yuan renminbi

What are the exchange rates and mark up?

Card transactions use the VISA daily rate for currency conversion. This would apply for example when you are spending in euro but do not hold enough of a euro balance in the account to pay for the item. The bank will then automatically covert from GBP using the VISA daily rate.

When manually converting balances from one currency to another within the account, HSBC will use its own rate. This is based on the interbank exchange rate plus a small mark up. Tests at the time of launch (October 2022) found the HSBC rate to be slightly better than that Wise, Revolut or Finneco across most major currencies.

Subsequently though, customers have found that HSBC’s exchange rates have fallen, and are now often worse than those mentioned above. This is something of a moving target, and your milage may vary.

Weekend premium

A premium of 1% applies when exchanging between currencies while the market is closed. This is typical with multi-currency accounts and the additional mark-up is to protect the banks from large swings in the exchange rate once the exchanges open again.

To put this into perspective, Revolut also applies a 1% surcharge on weekend exchanges across 15 major currencies, and a 2% surcharge on all others. Wise on the other hand continues to use the mid-market rate even at weekends.

We recently reviewed Atlantic Money, a dedicated UK based currency exchange app. It is more limited in terms of the currencies you can exchange, but was consistently cheaper than Wise, Revolut, and HSBC for larger currency conversions (those over £1,200). See our Atlantic Money Review for more.

Can I send and receive payments with the Global Money Account?

Currently you can send payments via the Global Money Account, in any currency you hold. Unfortunately for euro payments these are not SEPA instant payments so may take up to 24 hours before they show up in the recipient’s bank account. That may be subject to change in the future though as recent draft legislation by the EU Commission looks to force payment to providers to offer 24/7 instant payments . Think of it like Faster Payments in the UK.

You can’t receive payments just yet, but it is a feature that is supposedly coming soon, but more than 6 months since the account’s launch, there’s still no sign of it.

What are the HSBC Global Money Account ATM limits?

As ever with multicurrency accounts it’s not all about the foreign exchange rate. Sometimes the various transactional limits can make or break the account. The Global Money account has a daily ATM cash withdrawal limit of £500 (or equivalent foreign currency).

For those that are big cash spenders abroad, that limit beats Starling’s £300 a day, Chase’s £1,500 a month, and Revolut’s measly £200 a month.

International payment limits for transfers are capped at £50,000 or equivalent, so those wishing to make large purchase or transfers for example buying a home abroad, would need some forward planning.

What are the drawbacks and limitations?

The Global Money Account looks like a great travel companion for those with a HSBC account, but it’s not without its drawbacks.

Top ups and transfer not instantly available

Top ups and transfers into the account can take 24 hours before they are ready to use. That could leave you in bind if you run the balance down and forget to top up again before you next need to spend on the card. Whilst this is true with any additional account, banks such as Starling or Monzo that have free foreign spending baked in don’t run into the same issue.

We’d recommend having back up, such as Currensea (see our review) , in case you’re ever caught short.

Currensea acts as a layer on top your HSBC current account. Allowing you to spend in the foreign currency of your choice. It then direct debits your HSBC current account in pounds, to avoid charges. There’s a flat rate of 0.5% (50p per £100), making it much cheaper than using your HSBC current account debit card.

Can’t receive payments

You cannot receive foreign payments into the account. This is a big one for those with links abroad, who’d like an account receive foreign income. HSBC is working on it, but the account has been around for 8 months now, and there’s still no update on this.

Only accessible via the HSBC app

If you prefer to check your balance, reconcile your spending, or manage your account via online banking, then you’re out of luck. HSBC has limited access to the Global Money Account to App users only. There’s also no open banking, which means if use a third party budgeting tool such as Plum, you can’t link your account to it.

Should I get a HSBC Global Money Account?

Whether the HSBC Global Money account is worth it to you, all depends on your current circumstances. If you already bank with HSBC then even if you have a Wise, Revolut, or Finneco account, the Global Money Account could be a worthwhile addition, if only for streamlining the process of moving money around, or for the piece of mind that you’re dealing with a major UK bank with full FSCS protection.

If you aren’t already a HSBC customer, then it doesn’t really make sense to open a current account just to take advantage this Global Money Account, but since HSBC regularly runs current account switching offers , it might make sense for those who are already considering switching. In fact, in some instances it’s required in order to get the switching bonus.

While the exchange rates were some of the best around at launch, they can now be beaten. Added to that, the account is still missing some important features such as receiving foreign payments, and SEPA instant transfers. As such can’t match the likes of Revolut for versatility, or Atlantic Money for one off transfers.

Overall the Global Money Account is a step in the right direction. It will make a massive difference to those who’d normally just use their standard HSBC current account debit card when abroad, and help to retain customers who might otherwise use services from other multi-currency accounts.

Those who aren’t currently HSBC account holders, would be better served by Starling for general holiday spending , or Revolut for regular currency exchanges.

What should I get instead of the HSBCs Global Money account?

HSBC’s own Zing app is an alternative to the Global Money Account. Like the GMA, Zing allows uses to hold multiple different currencies within wallets in the app, and convert between them for low fees. It allows sending foreign payments, and unlike the GMA also accepts incoming foreign payments.

It offers a clean clear interface, and truly transparent pricing, and best yet is open to those without a HSBC current account.

Find out more in our HSBC Zing review

Other alternatives are the well known multi-currency accounts from Revolut (see our review) , and Wise . For those only needing to exchange and send money abroad, then Atlantic Money (see our review) , is a top alternative.

12 comments on “Is the HSBC Global Money Account any good?”

I am an HSBC customer and opened a Global Money account to pay the deposit on holiday accommodation in the Netherlands. Setting-up the account and using it was simple and my transaction was shown as completed. I was advised the transfer would take up to 3 working days but 13 working days on the money has not arrived in the accommodation provider’s account. I have queried this with HSBC (via telephone banking) 3 times so far and have been told transactions can take time. During my first call 2 weeks ago I was told a referral would be made for my transaction to be traced and this could take up to 5 working days. However, nothing heard so far and I am obviously concerned about what has happened to my money and the fact to secure the accommodation they have to receive my deposit (50% payment). Not sure how this will end but my experience has been a far from happy one.

I’m in the same situation , £1450 has disappeared and I keep getting the same rubbish answers over 4 wks now !!!!!! Very angry sometimes needs to be done asap. There hiding behind call centres

I am an existing HSBC customer. I opened a Global Money account recently to use for withdrawing cash when abroad for daily expenses when on holiday or business. My feedback is based on using it in Australia several weeks ago and the period between opening the account in the UK leading up to first use.

Pros: 1- Simple setting-up of account 2- Easy use as payment or debit card 3- Reasonable daily limit of £500 equivalent in foreign currency cash 4- Wide range of foreign currencies 5- Access through mobile App 6- Exchange in advance within the Global Money account to the target currency is possible 7- Transferring funds out is also easy to separate HSBC currency accounts

Cons: 1- Can only be used outside UK and cannot be used for withdrawing cash in foreign currency in the UK 2- The account requires 24 hours before credited funds in any currency are cleared for use or withdrawal 3- It requires separate HSBC accounts in foreign currencies to credit foreign currency into the Global Money account. 4- Only accessible through the mobile App and is not available on the main HSBC account website on desktops or laptops.

It would certainly be much more appealing if the cons are addressed and resolved. Despite these limitations, the advantages are clear and far outweigh the current negatives. It was easy and simple to use abroad. Based on my personal experience it is certainly better than Monzo, Citibank and Virgin Money comparable current products when used outside the UK.

Opened the global money account and bought USD. Months later I travelled to the US and for all transactions made HSBC charged me with Non-sterling fees when an operator confirmed to me that I can use my debit card as if I was in the UK…. Wouldn’t recommend it

I opened a global acc and transferred money overseas to an account that I have had for a number of years , 4 wks later nothing ? can only talk to a call centre ? no one knows where my money has gone £1450. I had a secure email 2 wks ago saying it was rejected ? and this issue would be sorted no later than 04 /05. nothing !!! I’ve. contacted hsbc and keep getting the same answer , don’t know !!! it’s a terrible set up and once my funds are returned ??? I will close this account for good !!!! Extremely in professional in every way ! Don’t open one !!

Mmm…doesnt look like a good product judging by the comments. I think I will just stick to drawing money out in the UK in euros and putting it in my pocket and traveling.. as I have for the last 30 years and everything has been okay.

This is a great currency wallet, in theory, but it falls short in certain ways. The big one is that, unlike the likes of Revolut, Monzo, Starling, etc, you can’t easily check what you’re spending as there is no push notification. You have to open the app, log in, navigate to the GMA and check in there to see if you’re being charged the correct amount. I don’t ever expect the HSBC app to reach the levels of usability of the newer fintechs, but this is fairly basic.

The other major sticking point is the “HSBC Exchange Rate”… Initially, this seems great, even compared to Revolut. I used it to exchange a large amount of GBP to EUR, but, they try to get you by making their margin much larger if you try to trade any more than £1000 in one go. So, after having traded an amount in £1000 increments, I now find that their rate has decreased by a further 300 bps over what it was initially. For example, if GBPEUR is currently 1.1600, I would be able to buy at around 1.1585. This no longer seems to be the case and the rate I am quoted is around 1.1555. This is a very bad rate indeed! I have already spoken to them about how this rate is supposed to be calculated, but no one at HSBC has the slightest clue, which I guess shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Spoke to HSBC directly about their exchange rate and I can confirm that it is entirely arbitrary and in their discretion to change whenever and however they like. They will actively try to limit your FX trading by increasing their spreads if you try to exchange any amount larger than £1000. Given that you cannot transfer money in yet either, I’d stick with the competitor’s offerings (Revolut or Wise).

I have used a Wise card for years and recently topped up a small amount from my HSBC account and the money never transferred having done so many times in the past. Many phone calls later it was because HSBC had blocked the transfer as ‘suspected’ fraud and it took a lot of convincing HSBC fraud to authorise my transfer. Days later a second top-up was blocked for the same reason and for reasons I still can’t fathom HSBC fraud asked me to visit my local branch to sort matters out. The branch never sorted it it out but I was told about their ‘Global Money’ account and persuaded to open one which I’m evaluating. My point here is that having used Wise for years and done many transfers from my HSBC account when HSBC launch a competitor card for Wise I suddenly start having problems!! Could the issues be connected?

The idea of the account was great. The biggest problem are exchange rates as it seems HSBC was too greedy to keep the promise of “great rates”. In my bank abroad I get Forex rates that can easily be 6-7,% better. I stopped using the account.

On a recent trip to France, the card was refused at several locations, but the amount was still deducted. In some cases it worked the second or third time of trying, but the account later showed that 2 or 3 deductions of the amount had been made, On another occasion the card was refused, so I paid with my credit card. Both accounts were charged. 3 months later, the problem is unresolved. It is very time consumining trying to contact HSBC Global and even then, no answer or offer of repayment.

You get account that promised a lot but typical HSBC style failed to deliver. Issues with card being denied for no reason, delays with credited funds and what renders the account useless are exchange rates. Way worse than any competition offers. The cherry on the cake is useless HSBC customer support that you can’t even get through.

HSBC Everyday Global Debit Card

What is the HSBC Everyday Global Account?

The HSBC Everyday Global Account makes bringing cash overseas stress-free and simplifies your overseas purchases at home by allowing you to hold multiple currencies in the single debit account.

hsbc travel debit

  • Load and lock in the exchange rate of up to 10 currencies
  • No additional overseas transaction or ATM fees
  • Withdraw cash from any Visa ATM

The HSBC Everyday Global account bridges the gap between a debit card and a travel prepaid card. You can use your account for everyday buying at home, plus you won't have to worry about carrying lots of cash when you travel.

When you use your HSBC card, you're drawing money directly from your bank account when you make a purchase. It's designed for everyday money transactions and means you're not accumulating debt. And like a prepaid card, you can load the card with a set amount of money in the currencies you need even before you travel overseas.

In fact, you can load up to 10 currencies on your account including AUD, USD, EUR, SGD, NZD, JPY GBP, CAD, HKD and CNY (currency restrictions apply).

What if you want to take out cash while you're travelling? Well, you can without worrying about additional fees - this account comes with no account handling, overseas transaction, or international ATM fees.

If you need a new everyday spending account at home and you travel frequently to multiple overseas destinations, this account offers the convenience and flexibility you might need.

Pros and cons of using the HSBC Everyday Global Account

  • Single Account for Multiple Currencies  Manage multiple currencies in your one account online or using the HSBC mobile banking app.
  • Lock in up-to-the-minute exchange rates Set your exchange rates using HSBC's real-time rates ahead of travel, so you don't have to worry about currency movements. Spend like a local overseas, using the local currency.
  • $0 international ATM fees This is a huge benefit if you are travelling often and prefer to take out local cash from an ATM.
  • Limited number of currencies. You can only pre-load and hold up to 10 currencies. Saying that, other currencies are still available for ATM cash withdrawals, with funds deducted from your AUD account at the current Visa exchange rate.
  • Local Operator ATM fees. HSBC do not charge ATM fees, but local operators may charge extra fees or set limits. Check the ATM before using it.
  • Complex FX exchange rates. You are charged two foreign exchange rates either the HSBC rate or the Visa rate in different scenarios.

Why consider the HSBC Everyday Global Account ?

hsbc travel debit

If you're interested in linking your everyday transaction account to a travel card, this appears to be the only one in the market right now. Prepaid travel cards are more expensive, while most debit accounts don't let you hold foreign currency.

Although this account has no account keeping, foreign transaction or international ATM fees, like most banks, there are hidden fees in terms of HSBC's exchange rate margins.

Saying that, if you're good at planning and know your budget, HSBC's real-time exchange rates are slightly better than other banks, so you can lock in a good initial loading rate and save more than other prepaid travel cards. But always double check the rate you've being given against the market rate online - there may be even cheaper travel card options.

Extra Tips and Tricks

Understand your exchange rate fees in different situations:, 1. pre-load a  supported  currency onto your card before travel.

If you decide to pre-load funds onto your card then your AUD* will be converted to any of the 10 supported currencies at the HSBC rate.

2. Exchanging for a  supported  local currency when you are purchasing

If you don't have local currency on your card while making a local currency purchase, the cash will automatically be taken from your AUD* account and converted at the HSBC rate.

3. Exchanging for a  non-supported  currency at the time of transacting

If you are transacting in a non-supported currency (one that you don't hold) like Thai Baht, or there are insufficient funds in that currency, then your AUD* will be converted at the Visa rate at the time of the transaction.

*Your AUD account is also known as your 'control currency', 'default currency' or 'main currency'.

Calculate HSBC's foreign currency exchange margin.

Compare  HSBC's real-time exchange rate  with the current  online market rate  when you load/reload foreign currencies onto your card. Also keep in mind that the final HSBC exchange rate offered can be different from the rates indicated. From our analysis, HSBC margins are slightly better than other banks.

Always pay using local currency.

Foreign retailers may seem nice by letting you pay in Australian dollars, but they may be hiding some sneaky margins in the exchange rates. With your Everyday Global Account you can spend in the local currency so make sure you do!

Find the cheapest ATMs.

Find out if ATMs charge additional fees and stick to the cheapest ATMs. The best idea is to take out all the cash you need in the one go.

If Your Debit Card Expires While You’re Traveling, Do These 7 Things

T raveling can be an exciting adventure, full of new experiences and memories to cherish. However, it can quickly turn into a stressful situation if you find your debit card has expired. Being far from home without immediate access to your funds can be worrisome, but don’t panic. Here are some important steps to take if your debit card expires while you are on vacation.

1. Contact Your Bank Immediately

The moment you realize your debit card has expired, contact your bank or card issuer. Most banks have international toll-free numbers specifically for travelers who have issues with their debit cards. Inform them about your situation and verify your identity. Banks are familiar with handling these situations and can quickly help you find a solution.

2. Request an Emergency Card Replacement

Ask if your bank can expedite a new debit card to your current location. Many banks offer an emergency card replacement service for travelers. While this might come with a fee, it’s worth the peace of mind. Provide a secure and verifiable address, like your hotel, where the card can be delivered.

3. Use Digital Wallet Services

In today’s digital age, accessing your funds without needing the physical debit card is often possible. If your bank supports it, you can add your debit card to a digital wallet like Apple Pay , Google Pay or Samsung Pay. This way, you can continue to make purchases and pay for services with your smartphone or a smartwatch.

4. Explore Wire Transfer Options

If getting a replacement card is not feasible, consider having money wired to you. You can use wire transfer services like Western Union or MoneyGram to receive cash without needing a debit card. You’ll need to provide identification and the transaction details, but it’s a reliable way to access your money.

5. Use Other Cards

Always travel with more than one form of payment. If you have a credit card or another debit card , now is the time to use it. This reduces the inconvenience of having a single expired card and ensures you’re not stranded without access to your funds.

6. Withdraw Funds Through a Partner Bank

Some banks have international partnerships with other banks. In such cases, you might be able to withdraw cash directly from a partner bank’s branch. You’ll need to present your passport and possibly answer security questions, but it’s an effective way to access your money.

7. Precautionary Measures for the Future

To avoid a situation like this in the future, make a note of your card’s expiration date before you leave on vacation. Most banks send out new cards a few weeks before the old one expires, so ensure your address is up-to-date. Additionally, consider setting up travel alerts on your account and inform your bank of your travel plans. That way, you’ll cut down any risk of fraud alerts or blocks issued on your account.

If your debit card stops working while you’re traveling, it can be a hassle, but it’s not a huge disaster. If you act quickly and check out other options, you can still get to your money and have an enjoyable and relaxing time on your trip. Make sure to have a second way to pay ready and the phone number for your bank with you, just in case you need it while you’re on the go.

7 steps to adding credit cards to UPI apps

hsbc travel debit

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionised the way people make payments. It allows you to use mobile devices to make instant money transfers between bank accounts.

With UPI, you don't need to have the bank account number or Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) of the recipient. Instead, you can simply use their UPI ID to send or receive money. Moreover, you can link multiple bank accounts with a single UPI ID, which makes it a convenient payment option for many people.

How to add your credit card to PhonePe and other UPI apps

If you're using UPI apps like Google Pay, PhonePe or Paytm, you might have noticed that they also offer the option to add a credit card. This is useful when you want to make a payment for a service or product that doesn't accept UPI payments directly. You can make UPI payment from your credit card, then pay off the credit card bill later.

Follow these 7 steps to add a credit card to UPI apps:

  • Open the UPI app The first step is to open the UPI app on your smartphone. Depending on the app, you might need to log in using your mobile number, email ID or UPI PIN.
  • Go to the Payment Options Find the 'Payment Options' menu once you log in. This might be located in different places depending on the app. For example, in Google Pay, you can find 'Payment Methods' under the Settings menu. In PhonePe, you can find the 'Add Money' option on the dashboard.
  • Select Credit Card option In the 'Payment Options', you'll find various payment methods like UPI, debit card, online banking and credit card. Select the 'Credit Card' option to add your credit card details.
  • Enter your credit card information Now, you'll be asked to enter your credit card information. This includes the card number, expiration date, CVV and cardholder name. Make sure you enter the correct information. Any mistake will not allow you to add the credit card.
  • Verify your credit card Once you enter your credit card information, the UPI app will verify your card details. This process might take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the app. You might need to authenticate the verification through a one-time password sent to your mobile number or email ID.
  • Set up a payment PIN Once your credit card is verified, you'll be prompted to set up a payment PIN. This PIN is a four or six-digit numerical code that you will use every time you make a payment using the credit card on the UPI app. Make sure you set up a strong and unique PIN that you can remember easily.
  • Add money to the wallet To set up credit card to UPI transfer, you need to add some money to your wallet. This can be done by selecting the 'Add Money' option in the 'Payment Options' and entering the amount you want to add. You can use various payment methods like UPI, debit card and online banking to add money to your wallet.

Benefits of linking the HSBC Cashback Credit card to UPI

UPI is a convenient and secure online payment method that simplifies tracking your expenses. Adding a credit card to UPI apps is a straightforward process. Once linked, your credit card becomes a viable payment option for services and products that don't directly accept UPI payments.

Additionally, by linking your HSBC Cashback Credit Card for UPI payments, you can enjoy the same rewards and benefits offered by your credit card. 

Make sure you keep your payment PIN secure and add money to your wallet to start using your credit card on the UPI app.

Savings account rates have slipped in recent weeks, yet rates remain far higher than a year prior. While high yields are surely paramount in your evaluation of a potential savings account, don’t forget to take fees, customer service and customer-friendly digital experience into account as well.

Savings accounts provided minuscule yields following the Great Recession thanks to the Fed keeping borrowing costs low in order to cajole economic growth.

This low-rate environment was abandoned, however, following the government’s extensive spending during the pandemic, which caused the Fed to significantly boost interest rates to offset soaring inflation. That then prompted banks and credit unions to raise rates for savers.

Savings account rates — $2,500 minimum deposit

The highest interest rate on a standard savings account today is 5.84%, per Curinos, the same as a week ago. Meanwhile, the average APY (annual percentage yield) for a traditional savings account, as reported by Curinos, is 0.23%, up slightly from last week.

APY represents the return your account will generate in a year, taking into account compound interest—the interest earned on both the principal and previously accumulated interest in your account.

For instance, if you were to invest $2,500 at a 5.84% rate (the current high) for one year, you would earn around $150 in interest, assuming daily compounding and no additional contributions.

Savings account rates — $10,000 minimum deposit

The average APY for savings accounts requiring a minimum deposit of $10,000 is 0.24%, a tick lower than last week. But remember that many banks offer substantially higher rates.

Some of the top high-yield savings accounts , for instance, currently feature rates of 4.00% or higher.

Per Curinos, the highest interest rate today on a savings account requiring a minimum deposit of $10,000 is 5.35%. If you were to invest $10,000 at a 5.35% rate (the current high) for one year, you would earn more than $550 in interest, assuming daily compounding and no additional contributions.

Methodology

To establish average savings account rates, Curinos focused on savings accounts intended for personal use. Savings accounts that fall into specific categories are excluded, including promotional offers, relationship-based accounts, private, youth, senior and student/minor. The average savings rates quoted above are based on a $2,500 or $10,000 minimum deposit amount.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The ideal savings account for you hinges on your priorities.

If you already have a relationship with a bank or credit union, such as a checking account or loan, opening a savings account should be straightforward. If you value face-to-face banking, consider an institution with physical branches near your residence.

A high-yield savings account is essentially a standard savings account that offers a higher interest rate on deposits. (It’s more of a description than a technical definition.) This rate can fluctuate based on the broader financial market and the specific bank or credit union’s business requirements.

A high-yield savings account is still a savings account—you can’t access your funds by writing checks and your withdrawals are typically limited.

Find the best credit card for you

How to use the chase sapphire preferred hotel credit, the chase sapphire preferred's hotel credit goes a long way toward paying off the card's annual fee..

thumbnail

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card currently has an elevated intro offer of 75,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on the card in the first three months from account opening. This card has a $95 annual fee , but, you can earn back over half of that cost every year by taking advantage of a single easy-to-overlook perk — the annual hotel credit.

Sapphire Preferred card members can receive a $50 annual Chase Travel Hotel credit every account anniversary year for hotels booked through the Chase Travel SM  portal . Here's what you need to know about how to use this credit and when it makes sense.

Read our Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card review .

The Sapphire Preferred's intro bonus offer is currently 15,000 points higher than the standard offer. This makes it a great time to apply because you're getting the same ongoing card benefits along with the additional upfront value.

This card earns Chase Ultimate Rewards® points, which are some of the best travel rewards thanks to their versatility. You can redeem Chase points for cash back or similar redemptions for one cent each. And if you use your Chase points to book travel through Chase Ultimate Rewards, you'll get a 25% boost in value as a Sapphire Preferred cardholder (1.25 cents per point).

You can really ratchet up your points' value by taking advantage of Chase's transfer partners . Chase points transfer to 14 airline and hotel loyalty programs at a 1:1 ratio. Through these programs, you can book business-class award flights or luxury hotels and dramatically increase the value of your rewards. This includes plenty of one-way Star Alliance business-class flights from North America to Europe for only 60,000 to 70,000 Aeroplan miles, flights that normally costs thousands of dollars.

The Sapphire Preferred also comes with a long list of travel and purchase insurance benefits. You'll get trip delay reimbursement, primary rental car collision coverage , purchase protection, extended warranty coverage and more.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred annual hotel credit can earn you an automatic statement credit of up to $50 every card anniversary year. To qualify for the credit, you need to book a hotel through Chase Travel SM and pay for the booking with your Sapphire Preferred card.

The $50 in hotel purchases that earn you the credit will not earn Chase points. Once a qualifying transaction is posted to your account, the statement credit should get credited within one or two billing cycles.

To use the Sapphire Preferred annual hotel credit, you book a hotel stay through Chase Travel SM . This platform works like booking through another online travel agency like Expedia , Priceline or Kayak . Simply search for the dates and the location where you need a hotel and book from the available options.

To use the hotel credit, first log in to your Chase credit card account and navigate to the Ultimate Rewards page. Next, select the "Travel" drop-down menu and click "Book travel."

Choose "Hotels" and enter the information for your trip. Once you start a search, you can filter the results by star rating, brand, cost and more.

After you've selected the hotel and specific room type, you'll be able to see the final cost in dollars and points.

To earn the full $50, you need to charge at least $50 on your card. If you want to pay with points, just be sure to redeem points for all but $50 of the cost. You can easily adjust how many points you're using for the booking in the "Points redeemed" box, just be sure to click the update button when you change the number of points you want to use.

From here follow the steps to enter the traveler information and payment card info before you finalize the reservation. Be sure to pay with your Chase Sapphire Preferred card. If you don't book with your Sapphire Preferred, you won't earn the credit.

The Sapphire Preferred hotel credit is straightforward — just book a hotel through Chase Travel SM to qualify for the offer. However, you should compare prices for the same dates, hotel and room type to ensure you're getting the best price when booking with Chase. As long as you aren't paying more for the booking, taking advantage of this credit makes sense.

If elite status perks are worth more to you for a particular stay, you may want to consider trying to maximize this credit on a different booking. That's because when you book hotels through a third-party site such as Chase Travel SM you typically won't earn elite status credit. You also won't normally receive elite status benefits, such as free breakfast or room upgrades.

If you're looking for hotel credits and benefits, a co-branded hotel credit card will typically offer the most value, but the perks will be tied to a specific brand. For statement credit perks that are more universal, you'll likely need to consider a general travel credit card.

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card (see r ates and fees ) offers an annual travel credit of up to $300 for bookings made through Capital One Travel. This credit applies to hotels, but also flights, rental cars and more. When you combine this travel credit with the card's annual 10,000-mile bonus, it's not hard to justify keeping this premium credit card .

Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card

10 Miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars, 5 Miles per dollar on flights when booked via Capital One Travel; unlimited 2X miles on all other eligible purchases

Earn 75,000 bonus miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening
