Why OCBC only gives RM2?? My Citibank gives RM6
*
TM told me the rebate is RM2. OCBC claimed that phone utility bill rebate is 5%. How did you get RM6 from Citi Bank? Which types of credit card?

Unfortunately I do max out every month... so sad not enough rebates.

I get my spouse to apply for it since her spending is not that high and I will max rebate from both cards

I applied OCBC titanium card using their terminal beside the ATM, I am very impressed by their efficiency. The card was approved instantly with the credit stated on the computer screen.

I also applied MB 2 Amex card but give up. Even with my current approved credit card from other Bank, May Bank need documents.

Credit card ? Approved instantly ? That's news to me.
Many banks no longer accept existing card as reference for new application. Starting from next year, all banks will do the same by insisting you to submit your income document.

I applied in Penang, OCBC Bishop Street. I was surprised too to read from the screen....something like
"your application is successful and your credit limit is xxxxx..." The card was delivered to me in less than a week after the OCBC staff called me to confirm address etc

If they need income document then those credit card promoters in the shopping mall will be out of biz.....very much prefer using existing card as reference

I use it on Talikom, Digi, Maxis, TNB but cant make it to RM50 rebate. Their 1% is better than other cc which gives only 0.3% rebate..........

I spend RM4000++ in Korea last 3 weeks, when statement come last week, no oversea 2% rebate is given. Call CS, she said, based on first come first serve....

I have finished my RM50 rebate (on petrol/ bill), so I get RM0 for RM4000++ spend... If know this will happen, better use Maybank Amex, at least collect some points....

I dislike bank use the term first come first serve coz it means you may get zero rebate on spending...that's why I cancel public bank cc

Looks like after this will continue back my canceling spree when the cards near 1 year 1...

My cancel list

1) AMB carz  car after the 25% or 20% oni got 2% cash back

2) RHB Tesco Card canceling this year but waive my GST and ask me use 1 more yr, actually if it just for Tesco it is higher than any 2% credit cash back credit card

3) Alliance bank platinum just goin cancel when nearing a year after no more lump sum spending above 2500 - 5000 in a month spending swipe anywhere get 2% ( card on the way, just wanna take the couple watch, RM 80 & GST waive if got BT or others)

4) Maybe UOB, actually just good for BHP and GSC.....

Dont get tricked by RHB Tesco card, the rebate is only 40% of your Tesco total spending whereas other credit cards are 100% of Tesco spending.

if you spent RM100 with RHB Tesco, only RM40 is subjected to rebate, 2% rebate = RM0.80
if you spent RM100 with Citi Cash Back or UOB 1 card, RM100 is subjected to rebate, 2 % rebate = RM2.
Of course OCBC Titanium =RM5

LoL....just for some sharing purpose - there was this once, I think a few weeks back. I did my regular monthly grocery shopping at TESCO. a overflowing full load of stuffs on me trolley. As I was putting the stuffs into them plastics bags while the cashier was scanning the items....I sensed there was this RHB CC Salesperson was on stand-by mode waiting for me to finish doing my packing & paying so that he can start blabbering about the RHB-TESCO CC. The moment he saw me pulling out the OCBC Ti MC, he just turned around and when sitting back in his booth... tongue.gif

40% of total RHB -Tesco spending is subjected to rebate and I wasnt aware about this when I first signed up. There is also a max limit claimable every month. Now OCBC Titanium has replaced my RHB card spending at Tesco

I dont track my 5% nor 1% rebate monthly. What I do is called up OCBC credit card centre and ask the status of rebate. They will tell you the total 5% and 1% rebates which you have earned, from that i will minus RM50 (max rebate) and that should be the limit to spend.
I must give praise to OCBC for this excellent service. rclxms.gif

Guys, can I just check with you - I'll be leaving to Australia on Monday. Will be paying for my hotel lodging via the OCBC Ti M/C....but the total cost of it is almost 80% of my Credit Limit.

Can I request for an credit limit extension?

of course you can. Use other credit cards if you have. Remember there is a limit of RN50 rebate per month which means whatever you spent may not get any rebate, then there is no point asking for temporary higher credit limit.

If you dont have other card and you prefer to travel cashless with credit card, one way is credit in some cash money in your credit card.

Bank dont mind give temporary higher limit if the card holder has good payment record

I received SMS stated that "Welcome to OCBC! Your new credit card and pin are on the way to you."

This is the strictest card I had ever applied for.

Because this card required my latest 3 months salary slip while others are not.(HSBC, CIMB, SCB, Hong Leong, MBF)

BTW, I plan to cancel CIMB, Hong Leong and MBF.
Although HSBC is not good in the rewarding scheme, but I like their pleasant cs.

Starting 2012 BN needs all the doc for new application. If the bank just submitted the application without doc, the application will be questioned by BN. I have given up my application to May2 cards coz so troublesome

So what is wrong of getting RM50 rebate? Are you concern on overspending and get No rebate??


Method A (This is after spending with statement comes in)
Look at the statement, it gives you how much is 5% and 1% rebate.
Look at the spending that entitle to 5% rebate, added all up and counter check with the 5% rebate.
The remaining spending multiply by 1% and check against the 1% rebate given.

If you are not sure which one is 1% or 5%, call up the bank to clarify.

Method B (This is to make sure you dont over use and get no rebate at all after hitting RM50 limit)
Call up the bank and tell them you want to know how much can you spend to get maximum RM 50 rebate.

I usually dont keep track on 5% or 1% exact spending. Sometimes we also the dinning place is 5% or 1% rebate.
Just call up the bank, they will tell you up to that moment how much is your rebate. From that you will be able to calculate how much more to spend.

Example, if bank said you have claimed up to RM 35 then it means you can still have RM15 rebate to go.

you can spend RM 300 on 5% rebate (300 x0.05= RM15) or
spend RM 1500 on 1% rebate ( 1500 x 0.01 = RM15) or
a combination pending what do you need to spend

U are clever master.
U have obtained most of the good cards.(MBB2Amex, OCBC, UOB).

I m in the process of applying MBB2Amex. Btw, MBB does not require my 3 months salary slip, just using an existing credit card (over one year) as supporting.
Don't know later on whether they will request my 3 months salary slip as someone mentioned that it is the rule of Bank Negara in Year 2012 as a prove of salary over RM3000.

I have tried two different May Bank branches with my existing Citi credit cards (more than 10 years). Both branches asked for payslip or tax return.

Last month I was in supermarket, RHB having promotion. The RHB bank staff ask me to upgrade my RHB platinum card. I told him I dont like to submit any doc. He said no need as I am already RHB credit card holder. Last week I received a letter from RHB stating they need pay slip etc otherwise cannot process the application. Didnt bother to response as I was not that keen to have their card since their rebate is miserable. 40% of the Tesco spending will be used for rebate calculation.
