For the OCBC new Great Eastern Mastercard, I think it's probably better for the general public to use Alliance CC (1.38%) or JustOne (between 2-5%) for the purpose of cash rebates as the rebate requirements are lower.

It is something to consider for high spenders and not to mention the card design is nice.

To all the Muslim folks here ... Selamat Hari Raya and to the rest ... enjoy your holidays with your family and loved ones.

oh ok the agent told me that there will be RM100 credit in my card once i receive it so i was like wow so nice

Just noticed the latest update from SCB. Bro MilesAndMore previously mentioned this in Credit Card V7

SCB Priority Banking VISA Infinite

Not much difference from your typical SCB VISA Infinite except that you can now earn points from your deposits in SCB as well. Stated in the website that this will be a complimentary card and upon invitation only.

When I was in a shopping mall few weeks ago, a cc promoter from SCB told me that SCB would give welcome gifts of RM100 cash for Plat cc and RM50 cash for Gold cc, applicable to NEW SCB cardholders only.


We have discussed this card in the "American Express Thread". See my posts #2259 at Page 113 and #2261 at Page 114.

Ya the promoter also told me this I wasn't sure about that so I just drop by to confirm. You also got RM100 cash in ur account? I'm waiting for my card to come heh

It's only a marketing gimmick. Even public can apply for SCB VI now.


I didn't apply for SCB Plat cc as I have already got other SCB cards. Even if I apply for it, I won't be given RM100 as the welcome gifts will only be given to new customers.

I am well aware that the SCB VI is open for the public to apply but I did not talk about this card. I mentioned about the SCB Priority Banking VI.

Yes. Discussed it in the Priority Banking thread last week. You probably missed it


It's different actually as the VISA Infinite for Standard Chartered Priority Banking customers have "Priority Banking" embossed on it. Just like the HSBC Premier Mastercard.

Except the various PB privileges, other features of the SCB PB VI are same as the normal SCB VI.


SCB did give RM50 rebate as an early bird incentive to 1st 1000 approved Just1 cardholders. Besides, it also gave 5000 choice points to each Just1 members as a welcome gift. I guess you will still be given 5000 choice points.

Bear in mind that on top of the 2% or 5% cash back, SCB Just1 cc will only give 0.5x point for every RM1 spent in overseas, unlike SCB Plat cc and VI which grant 3x points and 5x points respectively for overseas transactions.

any idea which shopping mall we can find SCB cc booth?

actually u will only get the RM50 if u call them through the number. since me and my frens apply directly at the bank we do not entitle for it. i found out cos scb call me after 2 weeks i applied at the bank and they said u have to go through them in order to get the RM50. do u have your 5000 choice points on your eStatement ? as i still don't have it i did call to CS and they say they will put a request in that's all

I saw some SCB cc promoters in KLCC last month. It could only be seasonal.


The free 5000 choice points were shown in my 2nd or 3rd month statement.

Oh, did not realize you were already talking about it then. Thought you were talking about the OCBC Great Eastern Gold Mastercard as they only had this back then. It seems they no longer offer the Gold card now and instead they are offering Titanium and Platinum Great Eastern Mastercard now.

The is no mentioned of auto fee waiver in this newly launched OCBC Great Eastern Mastercard. Last time the annual fee for the OCBC Great Eastern Gold Mastercard will be automatically waived if you have auto-debit service for your Great Eastern insurance policy registered with the card.

Hey this Just1 card is from SCB as well? Is it platinum? im kinda confused here dunno which card im going to get but the promoter told me there is RM100 credited once the card comes.

It is a Titanium card. Something in between Gold card and Platinum card. Standard Chartered is not accepting new application for JustOne Titanium Mastercard at the moment.

Yes ... JustOne is another card from SCB. Don't care about the Platinum status ... only you need to care about is the cash rebate. Not sure whether this card is back for public application as new application was suspended by SCB a few months back.

Oh so this card got nice rebate so they temporarily suspend the application? Normal Platinum don't have rebate right? JustOne also have the RM100 credit?

justone was having technical issues so they suspend the card too. I guess the first batches are the guinea pigs to test what else is wrong with the card before they relaunch the card. I think the early birds got RM50 and it was in this website previously.
