In-Depth Credit Card Review
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The American DreamCard™ Platinum MasterCard®, issued by HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A., is an ideal credit card for those with very good credit who are looking for an average platinum card with a monthly cash sweepstakes program.

Through the American DreamCard™ Sweepstakes program, one entry is awarded for each dollar spent in purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers. Cardholders also receive 1,000 bonus entries when they apply online. Each month, one winner will be selected for a cash prize of up to .50% of the total amount of net dollars spent by the participating American DreamCard™ cardholders during the corresponding drawing period, starting at $25,000.

The card also offers a referral program that rewards cardholders with 50 entries for each referral, plus a signing bonus of 1,000 entries for each referral who becomes a cardholder.

The card has no annual fee and a reasonable interest rate on purchases (for those who qualify). It is important to note that the APRs for all transactions are tied to the highest Prime Rate during a three-month period. Therefore, due to this policy, the lowest possible interest rates may never be reached.

Aside from the sweepstakes program, the card does not offer any common benefits that are associated with most platinum status credit cards.

Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate offered and will take advantage of the American DreamCard™ Sweepstakes will benefit most from what the American DreamCard™ Platinum MasterCard® has to offer.

Most Attractive Feature: No annual fee; sweepstakes entries.
Least Attractive Feature: High APR for less qualifying applicants; no extraordinary benefits or services offered.
