Corporate Facilitation Case Study
HSBC Premier Black Card
The Problem
Pre-Back9, HSBC Premier Black Card holders could only redeem their golfing privileges by getting in touch with a contact at the bank itself via phone or email. This process was often lengthy and involved back and forth communications between the card holder, golf courses and the HSBC admin team. Therefore HSBC wanted to improve the card holder experience and increase the usage of the offered privileges.
Back9’s Solution
Back9 made it possible for HSBC Black Card users to redeem their golfing benefits via our SpikesOn.com app. By implementing smart BIN number recognition, our technology automatically attaches the user’s privileges to their qualifying card. Card holders are able to book two free rounds of golf a month at participating golf courses across the UAE.
Our technology facilitates programme rules, meaning that once these rounds are redeemed, the user can still book tee times and pay using their listed HSBC Black Card.

Our technology removes the manual work for card holders and provides a digital platform easy for them to browse and book rounds of golf. Since this implementation, HSBC have noticed increased uptake of the golfing privileges amongst card holders, equating to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty. We continue to successfully deliver HSBC’s golf privileges via SpikesOn, while also forging connections with new golf courses to provide their customers with more choice.
