why not log into your bank account as presumably it will be mentioned there?

well the offer is shown on the bank website but presumably fraudsters could be copying it

not that there is anything asking for info in the email

just being paranoid heh

I'd say legit, but if you're ever suspicious, remember that legitimate offers can *always* be found either on HSBC's main website at hsbc.co.uk and/or via Internet banking.

The competition is real, fwiw - sadly not open to HSBC staff members, as I just greened my main account

So are you guaranteed to get the laptop if you go green?

No, it's just a competition.

I am not going to bother, very little chance to win, and bank statements are useful
