Everybody I know has shit with HSBC. But i like Citibak for the Emirates miles.
OK, if you read it properly, you will see that HSBC is the work account and therefore this is NOT MY FAULT BECAUSE I DID NOT CHOOSE THEM!!!!!

I like ur second option better. no need to bother talking to them anymore..... just whip out that AK47 and show them whos boss..... my favourite line, i must say, which is one I have used in the past is:

"Listen..... I am literally paying your salary! So shutup and do as I say as its not my problem that u have the job u do".

I know, I know, its very cold and mean, but I have used it on people here in Dubai.... sometimes its the only thing that works. I dont use it that often.... it is saved for those times when people really try my patience..... a good example wud be cinema ticket sales counters!

I will add that it has been over a year since I last used that on anyone. hoping to make it a whole 2 years soon!

Hmmm, I'm not sure they let you fly when you're drunk. I'm sure I can act sober. If JC was here he'd agree that I never look like I'm drunk, ever.

Check out dubai banks web site. i did the royal banking thingy...free credit cards and stuff.

Jammy,
You may want to close your account with your Bank. Apparently their entire Credit Cards Database (the BIN) was compromised and they had to reissue abt 100,000 cards again :scared: :scared: So if they do have online banking, stay away. Plus heard lot of other horror stories (all TRUE).......but am wary of posting on this site now.

Ofcourse all this never gets reported in the newspapers
