Buy your squeeze a nice gift
We’re not saying you should try to buy anyone’s love. But if you want to impress your partner with a nice gift on Valentine’s Day, don’t whip out just any credit card—for your wallet’s sake. Make sure you use one that gets you a discount on your online shopping.

Go out to a nice restaurant
Celebrating Valentine’s Day without having a good meal is, in the eyes of some people, criminal. The problem is, restaurant prices are sorely inflated on 14 Feb and many credit card restaurant promotions aren’t valid on Valentine’s Day and the eve of it.
One workaround is to have your romantic dinner for two a few days before or after Valentine’s Day. If you and your partner are cool with that, you can pay with an American Express credit card to enjoy up to 50% savings. Check out the applicable American Express Love Dining programme restaurants and hotel restaurants to plan your date.

Another good option to save money on dining is to use the ENTERTAINER with HSBC app. This gives you 1-for-1 offers at over 150 merchants with any HSBC card, and over 200 if you have a HSBC Visa Infinite Credit Card.
HSBC Visa Infinite Credit Card

What if you want to have a special meal on Valentine’s Day itself but all the restaurant promotions aren’t valid then? Instead of spending 200 bucks per pax on an overpriced dinner, opt for these wallet-friendly menus to romance your partner.
Get a little tipsy on discounted drinks

- The Centurion® Card
