A special feature of SCB Business Visa Platinum is that it gives 0.5% cash back (without cash back limit per month or per year) for all retail transactions (except petrol) plus 1x choice point for local spending and 3x choice points for overseas spending. You can redeem RM25 cash back using 5,000 choice points. This is equivalent to 1% cash back for local spending and 2% cash back for overseas spending. This card is good as a backup for big purchases or when you have maximised up the monthly cash back limit for other cards which give more than 1% cash back. SCB Business Visa Platinum cardholders are also entitled to all benefits given to normal SCB Platinum cc, such 3x choice points for overseas transactions, unlimited free access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge, 50% discount when dining at Platinum Partners, complementary travel accident insurance of up to RM1mil, etc. Just a reminder that Citibank Cash Back Platinum does not give complementary travel accident insurance unlike what a normal Citiback Platinum cc does.

That's it... Going to convert my SCB Platinum Visa to SCB Business Visa Platinum.... let's hope can waive the GST :-)

Is the 0.5% cash back creditted at the end of the statement date monthly ?
The RM25 Cash-back is upon request, right ?

Are the Choicepoints evergreen ?

Prior to the anniversary of my SCB WMC, I will convert the card to SCB Business Visa Platinum. SCB WMC's benefit really sucks!

When you convert, you still need to pay the RM50 GST also, right ?

Just called up SCB and they mentioned that we can upgrade from normal Visa Platinum to Business Visa Platinum by faxing in a letter and no RM50 GST will be charged.

Dunno how true it the above statement made by the SCB CS Exec.

It's my Preferred Banking RM and CS officer who told me that I could get RM188 if I apply for SCB Business Visa Platinum. They also told me that SCB has just changed the cash back rules, whereby the RM188 cash will only be credited to the cardholder's account upon first usage, not upon card approval. I will however, take it with a pinch of salt.
*
The RM188 cash back was to given upon charge on 1st transaction first..but they didn't implement it. My colleague got it without swiping.

Under the SCB iPad Give-away Promotion, does payment of insurance premium (monthly or yearly) be part of the Retail Spend ?

the offer until 31 Dec and you did get RM5 vouchers too from MPH using DA/CIMB MC?

In the first post, Best WMC for frequent flyers = MBB WMC but for non frequent flyers, best is CIMB/DA WMC where got many offers and free coffee.
*
I get the RM5 book-only voucher for every RM50 spend. Spend RM100 in one receipt get RM5x2 vouchers.
This was the only offer listed on DA/CIMB website.
Nevertheless, DA/CIMB rocks !!! Can get rebate, voucher + tax relief - best CC for Books

Add all those amounts which get 5% rebate. Eg. RM1793.42
Take RM1793 x 5% = RM89.65... but OCBC gave me RM89.70 drool.gif cool2.gif

Round to 1 decimal place, may be.

BTW, I noticed the 1% has 2 decimal place and the 5% rebate got 1 decimal place.

Not true as I have received RM61.15 rebate (5% portion) before...

Drop OCBC Customer Care a note about the rebate calculation.
Eg.
Statement Date : 15 Jan 2011
Billing Cycle : 16 Dec 2010 to 15 Jan 2011 (based on Posting date, not Transaction date)

20 Dec 2010 : Spend RM1000 of Petrol ---> RM50 rebate
25 Dec 2010 : Spend RM1000 of Non-Grocery Shopping ---> RM10 rebate
30 Dec 2010 : Spend RM1000 of Petrol ---> RM50 rebate
02 Jan 2011 : Spend RM1000 of Petrol ---> RM50 rebate

Total rebate received is RM160 which will be credited on 15 Jan 2011.

The CS Officer in-charge mention the above is CORRECT....Thus we can get maximum of RM170 rebates for Dec 2010-Jan 2011 period

hi ronnie,

Why the maximum rebate is at RM170? I thought the maximum rebate we can get is RM120 (before 2011)? or am I overlook about this matter?

Thanks
*
RM120 (posted transactions between 16 to 31 Dec 2010)
+
RM50 (posted transaction between 1 to 15 Jan 2011)
------
RM170 in total.... But this is what CS officer said.. maybe true, maybe wrong.
