HSBC was rolling out regular ‘WOW on Weekend’ staycation deals at Singapore hotels during the pandemic, when borders were closed, but it’s safe to say the list has dried up somewhat since international travel became possible again and restrictions were gradually dropped, with Singapore hotel rates now back at all-time highs.
That isn’t stopping HSBC offering occasional deals to cardholders, and this month there’s just a single property on the list.
As usual it’s fastest fingers first (or fastest emails sent) for a 1-night stay in a Junior Suite at the Goodwood Park Hotel on Scotts Road, since the lowest rate is available only for the first 50 bookings.
Which card?
These offers are open to all HSBC Singapore cardholders, but wherever possible, you should be using your HSBC Revolution credit card for these bookings, to earn 4 mpd on the first S$1,000 spend at hotels per calendar month.

Goodwood Park staycation deal
Here’s how the deal looks for the Goodwood Park Hotel, for stays in a Junior Suite between mid-April and the end of August 2023. Note that weekend rates are now cheaper than mid-week stays – another reflection of more normal hotel occupancy trends, now that borders have reopened.
To get the best deal you’ll probably have to act fast when the clock strikes midnight on Thursday night (00:00 on Friday 7th April) and send your email, or schedule an email to auto-send with your reservation request.

Summary
HSBC is back this month with its ‘WOW on Weekend’ staycation offer, but only one property makes the cut – no doubt due to rising occupancy rates across Singapore properties now that international travel is back with a vengeance.
This offer can be booked for stays right through to the end of August 2023, so even if you’re taking advantage of overseas travel in the coming months, you may still be able to find time to treat yourself to a staycation as well.
If you’re interested, mark your calendar for 7th to 9th April (i.e. from midnight on Thursday night). The best rate is limited to the first 50 bookings, so you’ll need to try and book early to be in with chance of securing the lowest rates.
The offer is only bookable by email, so preset your Mail app or Outlook to send your booking request at the stroke of midnight (Fri 00:00) to be in with the best chance, with no need to stay up late. Do be sure to specify your name, preferred dates, number of guests and contact number in the message itself.
As always, the HSBC Revolution card is the one to use, giving you 4 mpd for the spend itself (up to S$1,000 per calendar month in bonus categories).
