Accessibility Statement

• May 20, 2024

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

• Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
• Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
• Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.

HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard: A New No-Fee Travel Card

Today, HSBC is introducing a brand-new credit card: the HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard .

Let’s take a look at the features of this new product, and how this entry-level card with no annual fee might be valuable for you.

New HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard

The HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard is the bank’s new no-fee credit card for travel rewards. The card earns HSBC Rewards points, the same travel points currency as its higher-fee variants, the HSBC World Elite Mastercard and the HSBC +Rewards Mastercard .

As a welcome bonus, new cardholders who apply before May 2, 2022 will earn 20,000 points upon spending $2,000 in the first six months (with no spending requirement for Quebec residents ).

You’ll earn rewards on everyday spending as follows:

• 3 HSBC Rewards points per dollar spent on travel (up to $6,000 spent per year)
• 2 HSBC Rewards points per dollar spent on gas and transit
• 1 HSBC Rewards point per dollar spent on other purchases

The welcome bonus and earning rates are similar to the card’s entry-level peers from other big banks with a no-fee card which earns an in-house rewards currency, such as the CIBC Aventura Visa Card , the TD Rewards Visa Card , or the RBC Rewards+ Visa , with slight variations on which merchant categories earn at bonus rates.

The HSBC Travel Rewards Card also has decent insurance coverage for a no-fee card. It offers purchase protection for 90 days, and extended warranty of double the manufacturer’s warranty up to one year – both common on no-fee cards.

In addition, you’ll be covered for trip interruption, baggage delay, and hotel burglary when you book travel arrangements with this card – the latter being particularly notable for a no-fee credit card.

Unfortunately, the card levies the industry-standard 2.5% FX fee on foreign transactions, keeping the popular No FX Fee benefit in the domain of the more premium HSBC World Elite Mastercard.

How to Use HSBC Rewards Points

HSBC Rewards are one of our favourite points currencies because they’re very easy to use. You don’t have to book through their travel portal – instead, you can simply pay for any travel expense with your credit card, and later apply your rewards as a statement credit to cover the expense.

Used this way, HSBC Rewards have a fixed value of 0.5 cents per point (cpp), or 200 points = $1. Effectively, this means you’ll earn 1.5% back on travel purchases, 1% back on gas and transit, and 0.5% back on everything else with the new HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard.

With the higher-tier HSBC World Elite and +Rewards cards, points can also be transferred to three airline partners: British Airways Avios , Cathay Pacific Asia Miles , and Singapore KrisFlyer . However, this option isn’t available with the HSBC Travel Rewards Card, so the fixed value of 0.5cpp is the only meaningful way to redeem points for travel.

Lastly, note that you’ll need a minimum of 25,000 HSBC Rewards points in order to redeem for anything. With the welcome bonus of 20,000 points from the HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard, you’ll need to top-up with some further spending before you’ll be able to put your points to a good use.

The HSBC Credit Card Portfolio

Long-term, as a card with no annual fee, the HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard would be a good downgrade option if you are thinking about cancelling your HSBC World Elite Mastercard or HSBC +Rewards Mastercard but want to keep your points alive or preserve an old credit account .

However, either of the higher-tier cards would be a better choice for a new signup if you qualify for them, with larger welcome bonuses and a first year annual fee waiver on both products.

After that, you can reevaluate the value proposition in the second year, and consider switching to the no-fee HSBC Travel Rewards Card. 

While the HSBC World Elite Mastercard is one of my favourite cards in Canada, it has always stuck out like a sore thumb in that it’s long been the only compelling card offered by a rather large bank. With a new basic travel credit card in the market, HSBC is less looking to make a splash, and more looking to round out their portfolio.

Ultimately, while the HSBC Travel Rewards Mastercard fills a useful supporting role, it isn’t remarkably inspiring for a savvy points collector.

The card offers a modest welcome bonus with comparable earning rates for those who are seeking a basic travel rewards credit card, while bringing a long-awaited no-fee downgrade option for longtime cardholders who may be looking to retire their World Elite card.

I have the HSBC WEM and they changed the online banking site. I used to be able to have the option to redeem/use travel rewards but now with the new updated site, I don’t know where to find it!

You cannot transfer the HSBC Rewards from this card out to airline partners…Which further pushes this card into a niche role.

It is one of the stronger no-fee cards on the insurance side, but if you’re trying to min-max with one A/M/V, it’s not clear why you’d take this over other no-fee Mastercards if you’re not already in bed with HSBC.

Does HSBC product switch yield sign up bonus? I have the HSBC WEM…wouldn’t mind downgrading now that im into second year…have not been able to use the points so that alone is great, but getting an extra 20,000 points would be bonus!

I’m in the same boat as you, my WEM renewed last November for it’s second year. I just called in to either cancel and get my prorated annual fee back, or PS to Travel Rewards. The rep waived my annual fee for this year, and said that the 20k welcome bonus only applies to new accounts, so you won’t get the points from downgrading the WEM

Drink This Here: No Rules Moscow Mule at Phở Bắc Súp Shop

By Stefan Milne February 13, 2018

No Rules Mule at Pho Bac Súp Shop.

Image: Stefan Milne

Enter  Phở Bắc Súp Shop —the new Vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon—and you get the sense of aesthetics giddily colliding. The space, from austere signage to bare concrete floor, feels very warehouse chic. But you sit down and the bar is made of the specific white granite-esque material that seems to exist only in International District restaurants, and there’s the slight fluorescent cast to the lighting, kicked up with splashes of neon and blue bar backlights. A resolutely un-Edison glow. Hip-hop plays on the stereo, with  Goodfellas  on one big TV, basketball on the other.  

Maybe the place is best typified in one of its cocktails—as per the menu: “No Rules Moscow Mule / Copper is too expensive so served in a Stainless Steel Mug… / Rum, Chili Oil, Basil, Ginger Beer.” It’s not really a Moscow Mule (vodka, ginger beer, lime—I won’t fault you if you dig a mint sprig), but semantics are kind of beside the point. It’s essentially some of the flavors of phở turned into a cocktail that pairs perfectly with, you guessed it, phở. 

Generally I don’t drink cocktails with meals because the liquor tends to overwhelm nuance. But here the fire and beefbone flavors can take it. The notes are echoed in each other—ginger, lime, chili oil, thai basil—but everything else is contrast. The phở rich and warm and salty, while the drink is all ice cubes and sweet effervescence and citrus slash. Finish a sip and you’re rejuvenated, ready for another bite of beef tendon and jalapeño. Both together run you $20—$9 for the cocktail, $11 for a large pho—which in the middle of a drenching Seattle winter is about as satisfying a twenty as you can spend.

Why travel to Moscow

Contrasts: 12th century monasteries and some of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe can be found side-by-side in this complex and captivating city. The diversity of this mega-city is astounding. Only a few steps away from the solemn red facade of the Kremlin and the sounds of righteous church bells, a buzzing night scene and alternative-fashion boutiques can be found.

Culture: In Moscow only the best goes. Be it a theatre, restaurant or gallery, the standards are certain to be world-class. The Bolshoi ballet company is reputed to be even better than the Mariinsky’s and “MMOMA” (Moscow’s museum of modern art) exhibits works of art as profound as any that could be found in the famed MOMA.

Convenience: Unlike the rest of Russia, it’s easy enough to get by with just English in Moscow and, driving excepted, it is surprisingly safe: the murder rate is lower than in some of America’s major cities.

Why visit Moscow

It would take more than two days to walk around the perimeter of the biggest city in Europe, Moscow. Many of its inhabitants barely know what’s beyond the few blocks around their flat and there are so many attractions that it’s almost impossible to know where to start. If there is such a thing as an antidote to boredom, Moscow City is it. The mind-boggling range and diversity of things to do, places to eat, parks, historical monuments and more means that a vacation in Moscow has a wealth of activities to offer for every type of traveler, from young families to retirees.

Reasons to Vacation in Moscow in 2022

The Bolshoi theatre is familiar to almost everyone as Russia’s grandest theatre, but what people don’t know is that there are many more bolshoi (big) sites in Moscow that are worth travelling all the way to Moscow to see. For more than 100 years, the world’s biggest bell has been hidden behind the Kremlin’s walls and inside Moscow’s main park (which is bigger than some countries!) there is the world’s largest outdoor ice-rink. Travelers that visit Moscow can stay at the Izmailovo, Europe’s biggest hotel, then eat at the largest and most historic McDonald’s in Europe and after that have fun at the largest European indoor theme park!

Ancient Past & Stunning Architecture:

As those who travel to Moscow will see, just because Moscow is a city of record-breaking, glitzy high-rises doesn’t mean that there is no history. On the famous Arbat street, time-worn, wooden storehouses and century-old churches are squashed up against grey, soviet blocks which are then towered over by 21st century office-blocks. Unlike its much younger sibling, St Petersburg, Moscow’s roots stretch way back to the 12th century. Within the walls of the Kremlin, the city’s oldest building the Cathedral of Assumption can be admired in all its 500+ years of age.

Culture & Convenience

For a foreigner who has never visited Russia, Moscow is the perfect stepping stone into this great land of mystery. From the country’s best classical ballet troupes to snow-white troikas trotting through the parks, all the highlights of Russian culture can be had in Moscow without any of the complications that would be expected in other, less developed regions of Russia.

Cheap as Caviar

In Moscow, everything is bargain when with the current foreign exchange rates being what they are. Even caviar doesn’t seem so dear when the exchange rate is at 60rub to the dollar, so go on indulge yourself! Take your 2022 vacation in Moscow and have the best of both worlds, with European luxury at very affordable prices.

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

We had a great time both in Moscow and St Petersburg. Your travel agency was excellent in coordinating the whole trip. Everything worked like clockwork. The guides assigned to us were very nice and friendly. They had a great knowledge of their subjects. The cars and the drivers were great. The hotels were good and the itinerary was good. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. It was nice dealing with you and your company. Thank you very much for a great Russian experience. Have a great future ahead
