If you use internet banking with HSBC there is an option in your settings or your control panels that allows you to choose "please don't send me anymore post" including statements. Youcannot turn this off for credit cards though as it is a different company.

I used to have a First Direct credit card. They had a reward scheme, the more you spent the more points you got. I was saving the points as you could redeem them against flights booked with Thomas Cook and get 10% off. Seemed a good deal.

Hmmm, ok so no joy there.
Next time I went to book a holiday, I got my quote from Thomas Cook said I would book and I would like to put my points towards the total cost. Ah, no can do. In order to redeem the points I had to book using a different phone number.
Called that number, said I wished to make a booking and use my points. No problem they told me. Except..... when they quoted me for the identical package the price was 15% higher. So it was cheaper to book using the original number and not redeem the points. Way to go First Direct.
