For Petrol get OCBC Titanium MasterCard and earn 5% at any petrol stations and for Dining, Groceries, Utility and Telco bills too. If you pump at Esso or Shell on Saturdays and Sundays only, then Maybankard 2 Cards American Express can earn you extra 5% on top of 5X Treats Points (applicable 365 days a year).

http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/p/cash-back.htmlFor Paypal, I am not too sure. There are some that uses the Maybankard 2 Amex card on Saturday and Sunday to earn 5% cash back. IF your paypal in RM, then maybe ok to use MBB 2 AMEX, BUT in foreign currency like USD, do note that you may be charge up to 3% with AMEX cards. Go search for Paypal at MBB Thread ( including past V1 to V3) or ask there. Click below link.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2248196But the AMEX 5% cash back is capped at RM50 a month or RM1K spending. Anyway, for your info, Maybank MasterCard overseas conversion rate is among the lowest. So if you apply for the MBB 2 Cards, still can use the MBB 2 MasterCard and earn 1X TP and pay less in conversion. Try and compare with PBB Debit and see if they are any savings in conversion rate.

My detail as below:
1. Annual Income:Below 60k
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: MUST
3. Card required for: Company travel expenses (domestic) - Hotel payments, meal payments
4. Existing credit cards if any: M2
5. Considering CC from banks: As long as IBG from M2U and with online banking facility it is okay.
6. Others: Cash back, points, etc are welcome.
Also, my company has corporate rate with Sunway Pyramid tower hotel, any points for that is also welcome. Or loyalty card combo, etc.
If they accept MBB 2 AMEX, then you can earn 5X TP.
If they don't accept AMEX cards, you may want to consider getting HSBC Visa Signature where you do earn 10X and 5X points for hotels and dining overseas with T&C. Click below to read more about the card. Annual Income requirement RM100K but you can try and apply if you think you can benefit from it.
