For your case UOB One Card. Click here to read my article, REvamp UOB One Card - It'a A Pure Cash Back Card July 2011. You get cash back and no reward points, but I think the cash back better than points comparing to other banks' classic card.

Hi, thanks for replying, it seems like MB2 Cards is good as well.. rclxms.gif
But I am confuse, the GST is imposed to AMEX and VISA/MasterCard as well so means RM50 each total RM100? lolx
The AMEX 5% weekend cash rebate is attracting.. and TP x5..
Hmm, Petronas is not accepting AMEX rite? hmm.gif

yah MBB 2 Cards and OCBC good for your requirements if you do not consider the cinema requirement. And since you do spend up to RM2K, get both cards smile.gif For MBB 2 Cards, it depends if the petrol station you pump with accept AMEX and if you can wait till Saturdays and Sundays to pump petrol and do your groceries.

If you can give me a breakdown of your expenses and the merchant, then I can roughly tell you which card is better. You can also go compare the cash back you can earn yourself based on the table I prepared by clicking here to my Cash Back Credit Cards Page.

For cinemas, look into Citibank Clear Card.

Mostly I will spend on
1) Esso Petrol Station (But now is slowly changing to Petron, I'm lost lolx) or Petronas if cant find Esso, spend up to RM 300 per month.
2) Maxis broadband bill RM 68 per month
3) Groceries is carrefour/giant (Varies from RM 50 to 250)
4) Shopping (jusco, and other clothing stores, amount varies from RM 50 to 250)
5) Dining (everywhere that accept credit cards, amount varies from RM 80 to 300)
6) Cinema (GSC or TGV).

Hmm, for cinema, it is ok, as current I use Hong Leong GSC card only give me 10% rebate which is not much like OCBC and Maybank 2k card offer lolx.. OCBC and Maybank 2k use together is good, but I only want to have one credit card, as RM 50 GST per credit card lolx.. Oh yea, added one more thing, my annual income is less than RM 36k sad.gif

Based on above, total may come out to more than RM1K, and you have yet to include insurance (which most probably won't accept AMEX). Based on the above, first choice will be OCBC Titanium MasterCard since it will earn you 5% everyday for petrol, maxis, dining and groceries. If you spend more than RM10K/year, OCBC will reward you with RM50 bonus cash rebate. Currently OCBC credit card offering Free 1 for 1 movie ticket at GSC until end of this month.
