QUOTE(chemistry @ Mar 21 2011, 08:18 PM) IINM the answer is YES. Because I recalled a content of MBB Petronas card talking about " Earn extra Mesra point everytime you use MBB petronas card at Petronas stations". However, things may have changed. Added on March 21, 2011, 8:20 pm1L = 1 Mesra point is very stingy Best petrol loyalty card now is SMILES card  This is why I finally change to Esso/Mobil, unless there is 10X point again for MBB Petronas card...

With MBB Petronas 5X TP, it gives us about 2.5% in return. Well actually can be more during MBB Treats Fair and if I not mistaken if we go redeem it at MBB outlet at 1U.

QUOTE(ch_teo @ Mar 21 2011, 09:11 PM) 100 points to redeem RM1 fuel. Thank you. So if 1 liter fuel cost Rm1.90 then we get back 0.526%. Add this to MBB Petronas CC 5X TP, we can get more than 3% in return. By the way I do have both MBB Petronas card and Mesra card but I never bothered to check the mesra card as I only use petronas on the Plus highways. Now combining OCBC Titanium MasterCard with Mesra card, we do get more than 5.5% in returns This post has been edited by Gen-X: Mar 21 2011, 09:32 PM

How to redeem stuffs from Mesra card?
I found out that MyMesra page is kind of useless. No product redemption catalogue.

Just walk to the counter and ask the cashier to check how many points or how much (in ringgit) are stored inside your card. If you want to use them for petrol, just tell them so.

Anybody use Bonuslink? Seems like it's not a good card for pumping petrol in terms of returns %.

I use Bonuslink when I have no choice but to go to Shell, but I don't know how the points are awarded. Anyone care to explain in detail about the returns we get from Bonus Link.

For Shell with Bonuslink: http://www.bonuslink.com.my/participant/pa...ils.asp?id=0001Points Structure1L Shell fuels = 1 Point 25% Bonus Points with Shell V-Power Racing Bonus Points ChartMonthly Purchase (litre) | Bonus Points >500 | 150 251 - 500 | 75 125 - 250 | 25 RM1 = 1 Point (for all lubricants)

Looks like I have to work it out myself. I have checked and can't redeem for fuel. So I 'll base on voucher 4950 bonuslink points = RM50 Parkson If 1liter fuel = RM1.90 which equates to 4950 liters x RM1.90 = RM9405 on fuel to get RM50 Parkson voucher or 0.53% Therefore with both OCBC Titanium and Citibank Plat Casb Back (as zenquix pointed out) we get approximately 5.5% cash back at Shell when use together with BonusLink.

So, this means if Shell accepts Amex. Then I use MBB2 Amex to pay during weekend... get 5% rebate + 5xTP (equivalent to 2.5%) + 0.5% from Bonuslink = total 8% return?
