bcard is owned and managed by bloyalty s/b, a wholly-owned subsidiary of berjaya corporation berhad.
you may register for a bcard for FREE here: http://www.bcard.com.my/v3/?page_id=706
yes, you may use it at caltex but i was told that they were in soft launch which means you may only collect/redeem points at the participating caltex.
the participating outlets are listed here: https://www.bcard.com.my/v3/?page_id=59&coid=B0095
yes, you may use this strategy.
or if you have uob one card, you may try this way:
weekdays - uob one card - 5%+2% at bhp stations only
weekends - mbb amex - 5%+2% at any petrol stations

ocbc titanium just as back up for petrol (so you can use it at other 5% categories like dining/groceries/bills)

Slight correction, as BHP you have eCard to factor in. For max benefits, correct me if I'm wrong, but with UOB One Platinum, BHP eCard you're getting an effective cashback of

Everyday @ BHP
5% + 2% $MART + 0.9% BHP eCard = 7.9% effective.

versus

MBB Amex 2 Plat Weekend
5% + 1.9% TP + 1.5% Smiles = 8.4% effective

Not too bad, since not all of us can wait till the weekend to fill the tank up.

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.
