Your case are similiar with the previous post by Gen-X.
Pls refer to post #468.

Bear in mind, UOB One card having petrol cashback for RM30 per month only.
After this, u may need to pump using OCBC Titanim or Maybankard 2 cards.

TM doesn't allow autodebit for OCBC right?

TM allow autodebit with OCBC, but make sure you apply it at TM, no at OCBC.
( due to some claimed autodebit for TM apply through OCBC are not received 5% cashback.)
I have 2 TM's autodebit via OCBC. whistling.gif

Hi,

For the commission, the bank will count in as your income but only 80% from that and you need to submit at least 3 month commission statement to prove the stability of your commission.
*
I dont think the commission can be treat as income unless it stated in the BE form.

How much are you willing to pay for AF per year? doh.gif
If you have 3 cc, each of them having AF rm150, so need to pay rm450 per year. So, does it matter by now?

Ocbc Titanium + Mbb2 cards will be the best card combination by now if you looking for more than 1 card.
Else, Ocbc Titanium will having 5% cashback for your food and also cigra if purchase from hypermarket.

Home loan are not payable through credit card.
