Community-Learned Rules and Datapoints¶
Klook via HeyMax: MCC 5311, 5411 (exception, user verified, risk: medium)¶
User reported that heyMax Klook voucher purchases previously suffered from a bug where they incorrectly coded as MCC 5411 or MCC 5311, causing HSBC Revolution cardholders to miss out on 10X bonus points.

| Observed result | Some vouchers coded as 5411 and others as 5311, resulting in no bonus points on HSBC Revolution for the incorrect MCC. |
| Public/official layer | HeyMax Klook vouchers should code under a single consistent MCC (e.g., 5311). |
| Caveat | The bug has since been fixed, but historical transactions prior to the fix did not receive HSBC Revolution bonus points. |
Merchant: via Contactless PayWave (exception, user verified, risk: low)¶
User reported that cover or tape the EMV chip on the physical HSBC Revolution card when using it overseas (e.g. Japan) to prevent cashiers from inserting it, which would transact via contact chip and miss out on the contactless bonus.
