My guess is still on the different management entity thing even though under the same umbrella.

CIMB and DA even though is under CIMB group but they're two different entities. Same goes to Maybank and Maybank Islamic.

Just my two cents.

DA Visa 2% rebate
Spend RM200 will get you rebate of RM4
To note that you also be getting reward points. Assuming you redeem for Jaya Jusco RM100 voucher you need 20,000 points. That's equivalent to 0.5%.
AMEX Gold CC 5X MR
Spend RM200 gives you 1000MR points where you can redeem RM5 (200MR = RM1) or 2.5%
If you redeem for vouchers like Guardian, Dome, etc, then % will be higher by a little bit.

Therefore to answer your question, which is more worth, it is about the same and both also give auto AF waiver.
However, the pros of AMEX Gold CC vs DA Visa for groceries purchases as follows:

AMEX MR no expiry date whereas DA rewards points do have expiry date.
AMEX you can get 5X MR for groceries at more places whereas DA only at Giant & Tesco.
AMEX 5X MR not a promotion but DA 2% for groceries until year end unless they extend it.
AMEX do not charge courier fees for redemption whereas DA charges courier fee for vouchers.
Just to add AMEX you also get 5X for book purchases.

If comparing AMES Gold CC vs DA MC for 2% rebate then go for AMEX Gold CC as DA don't give you reward points for petrol transactions.

To add, SCB JustOne beats AMEX Gold CC and DA if you pump petrol and shop at TESCO/Giant on Fridays only

any good recommendation for a credit card now? I'm looking for a good credit card which give a good cash rebate...

I'm using Shell-Citibank Gold and Alliance Bank You:nique cards now, but the rebate is quite low 0.75% for Shell-Citibank and bored with the tier system from Alliance Bank You:nique...

However, i'm happy with the 2.5% Shell rebate from Shell-Citibank...

@Dannyl,
Get 2 principals and make each other your supplementary so U can qualify for more rebates?   Would that work, those who's got the card?

I think it is the same reason as conventional/islamic card, CL cannot be shared, your DA CL already high & they not giving you extra CL for new card.

Try reduce your DA CL and apply for lower grade(classic) petronas card & see what going to happen.

where can i get info about this amex card? any link guys?

Hi, guys, between AmBank classic CC & EON Bank classic CC, which one is better? plz advise me!

@Dannyl,
I can't quite advise because I haven't done much research on the card.  If only the principal cardholder can get the RM600 rebate then go for 2 principal cards; that way U can get RM1200 rebate mah.

@Dannyl,
Ah well if a decision's been made then good.  I would however prefer 1 account cause that would enable me to collect more points.

Thanks bro for feedback.
Now I have more reasons to get the new MBB Amex Gold as it share CL with my existing MBB Petronas and the MR thingy seems good too. Only con I see is we cannot get MR and Treatpoints at the same time.
and for SCB JustOne, its out of my reach now.

Neither ! CIMB Mastercard is the best ! Period !

I've called and asked, 1 principal and 1 supp can combine the reward points and yet still can have individual max RM600 rebate.  But the thing I don't like is the statement cannot be separated and will be under the principal.  So decided to go for 2 principal.  Their office boy came to collect my photocopied IC and CC and let me sign some docs and my application is underway

aiyo, search a bit first in this thread

anyway, the link is here
