Yeah. Guess i'll have to wait then

Planned to cancel my MBB Sony Visa if able to get MBBcard2. Want to ask, is the treats point from Sonycard transferable, or must redeem first before cancel. Also, can the 0% easypayment balance transfer to new visa?

Can anyone clarify this? Has anyone paid their insurance premiums with Amex b4? Thanks.

TreatPoints is transferable
0% Easy Payment also can be transferred
You need to apply for the Maybankard2 first, then proceed to do the transfer.

No. No insurance company accepts AMEX.

Thanks a lot. Then will use my Essential Visa to settle the premiums. Thought using MBB2 Amex can get back 5x Treat Points - equivalent to almost 2.5% rebate .

wats the adv for having an amex?
i feel visa n mastercard is enuff

Which insurance company is that ?


Do you not know how to read ? Find some time and go over the the dedicated AMEX thread. Read the last few pages and you'll know why.

Great Eastern and ING

I am a policyholder of Great Eastern.
And I can tell you that its Autopay form only got Visa & Mastercard to choose.
Not sure about other insurance companies.

OCBC has a tied up with Great Eastern, right ?

For ING, you can apply for this EON Bank INGIAFAM-EON Bank credit card. You will get 2% rebate on the premium paid. The first year credit card tax cannot be waived but for the subsequent years, yes it can be waived. Read more here > Renewal Bonus



Yes. It is 2% rebate for Titanium card and 3% for Platinum. If you can charge at least RM10k into the card (anything and not just Great Eastern premiums) , they will also give you a renewal bonus of RM50 to offset the credit card service tax.

haha, in case the tax cannot be reimbursed, sweetpea you gotta do some calculation liao.
Your HLB essential gives 1% cashback, but PBB-ING gives 2%. This means, your ING premium must be worth RM5000 then only can justify that GST RM50. Get one more card just want to earn a few bucks? Worth or not worth you think twice.

just to add, PBB also has a tied up with ING

The total cumulative RM5k can be from other expenses too. And one must use the card at least 36 times in order to be eligible for this renewal offer. My agent told me about this card last month and i have done the calculations. Will apply for it before my next insurance premium is due. Will go for the Gold card and request for something like RM6k or RM7k limit


Do note that the rebate will only be given to those ING policies sold through Public Bank if you were to pay using the Public Bank-ING MasterCard/debit MasterCard.

Oh, Titanium can get a 2% rebate, that's great, I didnt know that . I only knew they had an OCBC-Great Eastern card or something like that . Anyway, it's not feasible to me to take the card as my Great Eastern is only about 4k a year.

whoah, 36 times, far more than other banks' 12 times.
This card gives only 0.6% on other non-ING transactions. Who will want to spend on this card oh?

But you can still use the card for other expenses. For example, you will get at least 0.75% cash back on all other expenses which is better than many other VISA and MasterCard in the market. On top of that, you will also get 1.5% rebate on tuition and medical fees.

Miles was saying OCBC-GE-Titanium got 2% cashback on GE premiums; while OCBC-GE-Platinum got 3%.
These are co-brand cards yo.

Most banks do not even offer to pay you RM50 at all, no matter how many times you use their cards.


The total cash back given to non-ING transactions is close to 1% and not 0.6%. You will get 0.5% cash back and on top of that, you will also be rewarded with 1 Bonus Plus point for every Ringgit charged which is almost equivalent to Standard Chartered VISA Business Platinum.
