Bro, she spending up to RM20K per month, I think she needs more than just OCBC Titanium MasterCard. But then again with annual income of RM36K, besides the OCBC and MBB 2 Cards, the only card I can think that may benefit her is the HLB Essential with 1% unlimited cash back.

thank for the suggestion. But i would like to ask if the annual is 48k(put in some sie income statement), will i have more choice than hLB essential? Any special condition for the 1% unlimited cash back? my spending will be paying utilities bill online (tnb, astro,syabas,telco,tm & etc)

thanks in advance

For Astro (Just call them) and Telcos (walk in and register for autobilling for DiGi, Maxis and Celcom), they do accept AMEX so your MBB 2 AMEX with 5X TP when redeeming for cash vouchers should be better than HLB Essential 1% cash back.

For TNB, you can use your MBB 2 AMEX via Express Autopay but they limit it to RM3K per month only.

If your Syabas bill is not much, i.e. less than RM1K, OCBC Titanium MasterCard is good with 5% cash back.

Also click on below link to learn how you can pay bills using your AMEX card with M2U:

Maybankard 2 AMEX for Paying Bills Online with M2U and for TNB with Express Autopay. You can use your MBB 2 AMEX to pay for Telelkom and Unifi bills smile.gif
