means go swipe at the counter instead of at the pump. when you swipe at the counter, the amount you pump will be based on the exact amount you swiped. so there will be no rm200 on hold.

Correct. I am only saying some petrol stations dont allow you to pump first. They expect you to pay in cash before they allow you to pump.

when you swipe your cc rm50 at the cashier, it means you paid rm50 and you can pump rm50 petrol into your car.

Yes that is one way i guess.
better make sure you can pump rm50 fully. If not refund would be a problem.

If I pump BHP, I will pass my card to them and tell them full tank. Then after pumping, go in and sign for the exact amount I pump.

The reason I do this is because the pump CC terminal doesn't accept AMEX.

Noted. Will try that next time. In that case, should be no problem.

not all petrol station staff can be trusted to hold your cc without your monitoring.

I guess it's the same risk involved as handing over your card to swipe at a restaurant.

usually i go to pay at their counter.

Me too, and put a sticker at the back to cover up the CCV.

Hi guys, I noticed the frontpage is not updated, I need some suggestions.

Which card is best for spending RM200~300 petrol every month?

check out Gen-X's analysis here

read thru all or zoom in to section "THE BEST CASH BACK CREDIT CARD FOR PETROL 2014".

thank you so much. Very informative.

This is what I have done all the while.....

how do you know if you still get your UOB cash back? I didn't even know until the statement came.. it was so little..

because uob set allocation of rm900k cb for petrol on a first-come-first-serve basis. usually until mid of the month the allocation will be finished. any usage afterwards (approximately after 13th) will have 0% cb.

Yup. A lot of people didn't read the updated T&C that says this. Which is why I went with Citibank's Cash Back Platinum instead. It's also not ideal, as the CB is only credited to your account once its RM50 or above. Below that, it will be rolled forward.

I don't like to guess whether I am going to get the cash back or not. I prefer something where I'll definitely get it.

Looks like MBB2Amex is the best overall CB cards during weekend..
I might want to take up OCBC unlimited cashback during weekday.. Have to treat customer to some meal place sometimes

anyone knows what will happen to my smile points if i dont change it to petron miles by today?

smiles card not valid effective 1/11/14, smiles points must be redeemed before 1/1/15.
