1. Annual Income: RM36K

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: A Must

3. Card required for: Overseas Online Transaction

4. Existing credit cards if any: Citibank Gold (Supp)

5. Preferred Bank or Considering CC from banks: Maybank (I heard their administration cost is only 0.5% while other banks charge more)

6. Others: I buy things from online regularly. Some of my shopping sites do not accept PayPal..so I need a credit card. I thought any credit card will be good for me until I found out that Maybank offers the lowest admin cost. I also read that Mastercard's exchange rate is better than Visa. Read from some threads here.

7. Estimated Spending per month with the card: Around RM2k

Thanks!

You are on the right track, go apply for MBB2 Cards and use the MC for overseas transaction. And I believe even with the MBB 2 MC x1 TreatsPoints, you still get better benefit compared to your Citibank in terms of points redemption.

Hi Gen-X,

I'm wondering if OCBC Titanium Mastercard is better that MBB2 Cards, since I get 1% cashback for other purchases which covers the 1% overseas transaction fee. Besides, I can also get cashback for movies/dining/petrol.

Please advise.

Thanks!
