Cheers Visa Signature Card Calculator
Best for: Diners, pet owners and travellers who spend at least HK$5,000 per month and want the more accessible Cheers tier
The BOC Cheers Visa Signature Card offers 8X Gift Points on eligible local dining and pet spending, plus eligible foreign-currency retail spending, after at least HK$5,000 of eligible retail spending in a calendar month. Without meeting this threshold, spending earns only the 1X basic rate. Dining and pets share the first HK$7,500 monthly bonus allowance, while the foreign-currency rate applies to the first HK$18,750. Promotional points across those categories are capped at 180,000 per month; other eligible 1X points remain outside that cap. The calculator shows an HKD comparison value using 25,000 points = HK$100, but the supplied promotion terms state that promotional Gift Points cannot be converted into cash.
