HSBC Bank US bonus for opening new account

According to the bankโ€™s website, in order to receive the welcome bonus:

Your friends and businesses simply present the referral code when they open their new account at any HSBC branch or over the phone. 

To receive credit for the referral, the new account must be opened in an HSBC branch or over the phone. The referral bonus will be deposited to your qualifying HSBC Premier, Advance, or Choice Checking account within 8 weeks of your friend’s or businessโ€™s account opening. Refer to the Rules and Requirements below.

It seems the promotion is not valid when opening the account online, so keep that in mind, but the paperwork can be easily done over the phone by talking to an agent.

You can use my referral code to get the referral bonus credited:

This is a great opportunity to start a banking relationship with a US bank. If you start a Premier relationship you might be able to get access to their Premier World and Premier World Elite MasterCard, which have amazing travel benefits, including 3x points per USD in travel and 2x points per USD in dining, $100 airfare credit per year and $100 Uber and Lyft credit, etc.
