Cook and Brew.

Don’t photo cards such as this makes you salivate and prompt you to run to the specified branch?  As we always say, the best things in life are free and although you have to purchase first a large drinks and fries, a free Whopper Jr. Sandwich is not bad.  I mean it’s very rare that they offer the main meal for free.  Usually, just the least inexpensive add ons like fries and drinks are what usually they give as freebies.  So this one’s different.  By the way, should you wish to avail this promo, download the image onto your mobile phone so you can redeem the free Whopper Jr from our Glorietta branch.  Do note that it’s only valid at Glorietta until June 30.

If you are a coffee lover and totally care less about under eye creams or the prototype 37c review, HSBC’s promo will surely get you to shop using your card more often, frequent Starbucks and drink your favorite cup of coffee.

I have already one charge slip here ready to be converted to a free Mocha Frap (my favorite) but I’m just waiting for another qualified charge slip so the husband can have his share, too. I just phoned HSBC’s customer service, and too bad, my online transactions are not qualified. :sigh:
