hi sifus,
i would like to check with you guys which card from citibank gives you the best rebates for shell purchases if you do not have any outstanding balances? i.e. the kind of person who uses credit card just for perks and pays no interests for outstanding balances.

1) citibank cash back platinum (the blue/green card) which claims to give 5%
or
2) citibank shell gold which claims to give a maximum of 8% but i am not sure how it is calculated

my petrol expenses are about rm300-rm400 per month,

FYI i have both cards with me at the moment and planning to cancel one because the yearly GST cycle for one the cards is coming soon.

Get cash back platinum card.  Shell card only give you maximum 4% cash back only

So the shell card is useless even at shell if I have the green card?

what green card ? MBB 2 AMEX (weekend transaction), OCBC titanium and UOB one card gives you solid 5% cash back for petrol transaction

Sorry for not being specific, I thought I was in the Citibank thread.
I meant Citibank cashback visa platinum aka the fake platinum

If use it at shell it has more returns than the dedicated Citibank shell gold cashback?
That was my question.

Use Amex2 card on weekend with smiles card (Esso/Mobil) and you get up to 9% off. (5%cashback + 2.5%points + 1.5%smiles point). You have to accumulate to 3,000 smiles point to redeem RM45 worth of petrol. Unbeatable!

i just wondering whether petronas station will print their receipt with the full number of our credit card or just few numbers at the back (for credit card)

if not mistaken, full number.

even shell print full number, but petronas abit lebih. print ur full name as well...lol

Full name? Or the display name on the card?

To accumulate 3000 Smiles points is not an easy task.

A normal car user 1 week pump once, let's say RM50
1 month = RM250
3000 points / RM250 = 12 months

Mean u get 1 free refuel annually

and RM45 / RM3000 = 1.5%

Not too bad for rebate/cash back rate

if not mistaken, full number.

even shell print full number, but petronas abit lebih. print ur full name as well...lol

Very bad....Citibank gives 5%

Very bad....Citibank gives 5%

one correction, shell only prints out the last 3 digits. one strange thing is, i have seen a shell receipt (left at the pump) that prints out the full name of the card holder (not mine) but never for mine, not even surname.

yeap..sorry...double checked my shell receipt..only 4 last digit is printed..

but for petronas printing name on receipt, i'm sure...

Smiles points is given by Esso/Mobil...not by bank

E.g. u pump with UOB card, get 2% cash rebate, then Smiles additional 1.5%, total 3.5%. If u like the fuel the -1.5% difference I'm sure u won't mind

he is refering to the smiles point

MBB worry u forgot ur own name.

But i feel happy with Citi Shell Gold Card. 

do you maintain outstanding balances?
if no, shell gold card is a stupid card
if yes, then maybe a good card
