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.

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.

Thanks for clearing up.

I thought if you spend between RM2000-3000 in that range straight away x 5% sweat.gif

TBP seems not so bad now for subscription payment icon_idea.gif

Yes, 5%.... for that spend.

But the RM2000 before that doesn't get 5%. All of this is in the product disclosure sheet.

I found Alliance VS has least MCC restriction. So I use it for Nirvana instalment, Insurance premium auto-pay, JomPay that kind of things.

total spend of exactly RM3000 is how we fully utilize that cashback nod.gif

Is it worth to maximise the ewallet x8 TBP by paying 0.75% convenience fee?

Are the TBP for all cards merged under the same pool for reward claim?

Btw, just curious how people manage to use up to 9k per month for online? Any tip?

Yes. For my case my Alliance VI and Virtual CC share the same TBP pool

as for - how people manage to use up to 9k per month for online? - it depends on your monthly expenditure? How much do you spend per month?

for my case I try to use ewallet for payments as much as possible, if not then paylater services like spaynow
