that's interesting ... haven't try using groupon before ... but wonders how they define "For first-time credit card customers of Standard Chartered Bank" ... if i cancel "All" my standchart cc and after cooling period of 6-mths then i would be considered a fresh first-time credit card customer thereafter? ...

then it would encourage consumers to cancel all their cards (that doesn't have any benefits) and wait for the next available benefits to apply again - and the process repeats itself again & again & again - no more customer loyalty

maybe what he/she meant was use "foreign" bank issued card - international instead of local card lor

mine - between sms and card arrival = 5 days ...

may i know if u swipe a lot with the card? not sure if the number of transaction has direct relation with special cashback for certain cardholders ...

just a note ... those who have got their new card since Jan 2013 but still couldn't see cash rebate from petrol usage, advisable to call customer service ...

mine have not got any cash rebate (petrol) since Jan so i called 2 days ago ... the customer service can't answer why it was not there and promised to investigate ... yesterday another customer service called and promised to credit Jan & Feb cash rebate in the next 3 working days ...

cheers ...

yes, somehow they won't be able to tell you why you're not getting cashback and need to escalate to another level - sucks ...

also, they won't reply your email even if you post it from their website - sucks ... on this matter, citibank is excellent, so far they replied every single email that i sent to them thru their website ...

i'm not sure abt smart-tag because my package only includes RM55 cashback (to be offset for RM50 govt tax) + RM100 touch&go ... besides cashback, i screwed them (quite gently though) also about the touch&go - they promised to send it by end of the month ...

if they drag their feet again, i'll probably send them an official letter and cc to Bank Negara ... perhaps you wanna consider this if you think they're cheating you ... just my opinion

cheers ...

you're welcome ... in actual fact, you don't have to wait till monday ... their customer service works even during sat / sun - just give them a call anytime you like, unless you're busy ...

after my call last week, i noticed they've credited back cash-back from jan - early mar into my account ...

cheers ...

for the time being, i think SCB is the suckest (if there's such word) credit card around ... after the 6 months 15% petrol cashback promotion ends next month, i'll terminate the card ...

and wait for it's next promotion to re-apply again ...

nah ... i think they should give 5.1% cashback on utilities, petrol, groceries, dining and 3.1% on "everything" else plus 5.1X points, mon-sun ... that would make it the superhero of all credit cards and send ocbc & maybank packing ...
