17-18 Apr: 25% off Agoda Staycations with HSBC, plus up to 4 mpd

After a six-month absence, HSBC and Agoda have rebooted their two-day flash sale for discounted staycation bookings, this time with 25% off for bookings locked in this weekend for stays completed by 30th June 2021.

Just like the last two times this offer ran, it’s great news for those who are holding the revamped HSBC Revolution credit card, since it means earning 4 mpd for the payment on top of the attractive discount, though do be aware not all hotels are eligible for the offer.

There are also direct deals with the Goodwood Park Hotel, the Naumi Hotel, and the M Social Hotel over the same dates, which may be worth a look.

 

17-18 April offer

HSBC and Agoda are running a two-day flash sale for cardholders booking staycations between Saturday 17th April and Sunday 18th April, for stays through to 30th June 2021.

Unlike the last couple of times, when it ran as a three-day sale, you’ll have one less day to book this time round, though the discount is higher at 25% instead of 20%.

This offer is in place of the usual year-round 12% discount at Agoda for HSBC cardholders.

agoda.com/HSBCstaycay

That same link is where you’ll access the 25% discount flash sale this weekend.

Although the discount is offered across all HSBC credit cards in Singapore, combining it with the Revolution’s 4 mpd rate for Agoda bookings makes the deal even sweeter, so this is the one to go for in our opinion.

Your 25% discount applies to the room rate only (excluding taxes). Even if you took advantage of this offer when it ran in 2020, you’ll be eligible to do so again this weekend. Details of the promotion including terms and conditions are available here.

How it works

• Make your hotel booking via agoda.com/hsbcstaycay
• Stay Period: Now to 30th June 2021
• To benefit from 25% off, booking must be made from 17th to 18th April 2021, otherwise a discount rate of 12% applies
• Book a ‘Promo Eligible’ hotel and rate (not all are included)
• Select your HSBC credit card at the payment stage

Example

Here’s an example of how the HSBC Agoda staycation booking discount at the current 12% rate looks.

This last stage is where you’ll see the discount reflect at the enhanced 25% level when booking between 17th April and 18th April, for stays from now until 30th June 2021.

Staycation deals

Most of the hotels now open for staycation bookings in Singapore have some form of deal on offer when you book direct. You won’t necessarily get the best rate, nor the additional staycation perks, if you book through Agoda.

While 25% off stacked with 4 mpd is a very attractive deal, make sure you’re not paying over the odds for the miles (not too much anyway) and not losing out on benefits you would value more, like dining credits, free parking, etc., which may outweigh the miles value for your chosen property if a good staycation deal is on offer when booking directly.

Also, not all hotels are included in the Agoda HSBC promo, including Marina Bay Sands and the InterContinental, so the offer is only useful if your preferred property is participating.

Other HSBC offers

HSBC will also be running offers on three direct staycation packages, with the Goodwood Park Hotel, the Naumi Hotel, and the M Social Hotel for bookings between 16 – 18 April (you get three days to book these ones).

Summary

If you’re interested in these deals, either through Agoda or directly with the hotels in question, mark your calendar for 17th to 18th April (16th to 18th April for the direct to hotel options). Remember to check how the prices look through Agoda with this HSBC offer and compare with other staycation offers before you commit.

The Revolution card is the one to use with Agoda, giving you 4 mpd in addition to the 25% discount. Remember you won’t see the final rate with 25% off until you reach the payment stage and your HSBC credit card number is entered, and you’ll have to pick a ‘Promo Eligible’ hotel and rate for it to work.

The direct hotel offers are also worth a closer look, but be aware the Goodwood Park deal gets more expensive once the first 100 bookings have been made.

Be sure to compare with best available rates directly with the hotel as always, and also consider the benefits of any staycation packages on offer, most of which won’t apply unless you book directly.

If you are losing some benefits, make sure the discount and the miles you’re getting instead are worth the difference.
