HSBC credit card is NOT Ubuntu+Firefox compatible…
I was shopping for my airline ticket through Airasia.com for my next holiday back to Muar, Johor in March 2008.
The booking process was smooth, up until the end - when I realize that my HSBC credit card cannot be used to complete my transaction online - due to browser problem. It seems that HSBC is NOT Firefox compatible. I am not sure. Or is it VISA incompatible?
Clicking on their T&C will not give you an answer about any particular compatible browser.
Luckily I have my good old Maybank Mastercard and I managed to complete my internet transaction. So far, my Maybank Mastercard never disappoint me.
P/S: HSBC use Internet Explorer??? Sigh…

HSBC credit card is the WORST! The customer service is hideous, the web site is hard to use and the payments made to the credit card from the website sometimes don’t make it through (even from your HSBC account!). Do yourself a favor, get a new credit card- you won’t regret it! I recommend citi cards- good customer svc!
