Hi everyone, for the Alliance Bank Visa Signature card, I understand that the cashback rate is dependent on your expenditure, with the best rate between RM2,001 to RM3,000 for the month.
Would topping up TnG ewallet count as part of the expenditure? Like say you go shopping, refuel car, pay bills, and then you're like short a few hundred for the next tier, so purposely top up ewallet to enjoy better cashback rate.
Actually the best rate is exactly 3000 for the month. Because if you spend (let's say) 2,200, you get 5% on the amount above 2000 (rm200) but only RM5.50 on the first 2000.Would topping up TnG ewallet count as part of the expenditure? Like say you go shopping, refuel car, pay bills, and then you're like short a few hundred for the next tier, so purposely top up ewallet to enjoy better cashback rate.
Your actual cashback in that case is a measly 0.7%.
If you spend exactly 3000, your actual cashback rate is 1.85%
Yes, topping up TnG wallet counts (and is worth it if you have no other option). But if your spending is consistently roughly 2k, then the additional 1k 'feels like' its worth it (spend 1% to get 5%) but you'd be much better off with another card which gives cashback for your actual amount of spend (e.g. UOB One, Affin Duo) without forcing additional spend.
