This is probably not a ripoff. Be aware that several of the "Store Branded" cards such as Best Buy or Costco. So if you have any of these store cards you should check and see if they are actually managed by HSBC. Also, if you have any other credit(such as with catalog or mail order companies) you need to check if they use HSBC. You will probably have to do some research, but looking at your statements from any of your creditors should have somewhere that the credit is actually issued by HSBC.
