1. Annual Income: > RM 60k

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: A Must

3. Card required for: travel, shopping, entertainment

4. Existing credit cards if any: maybank2card

5. Looking at CC from: HSBC and Citi

I am going to United State on September for few months. I heard from others that sometimes maybankcard couldn't be used in oversea. I feel like getting an additional card for my spending over there in case my maybank2card couldn't be used. My friends suggested me to get Citi or HSBC because if my card couldn't be used, I can easily walk in the bank in States whereas it would be hassle for maybankcard.

Thank you in advance.

Ok, Now on Your Credit Card Recommendation

II) Citibank Platinum Card

But, the 5x Rewards Points is Capped at $3000/month, after which, It will be back to 1x Rewards Points... sweat.gif
