The wise card is not really "wise" choice.

Wise card is good giving 10% rebate if you spend at least 10 times with minimum RM50 on each transaction.

Yup. Only if you fulfill that requirement and the discount is only limited to that category.

Also dun forget they do not have an auto fee waiver policy.

Poor you. You can go appeal, you know? It's likely to be approved some day later on just like in my case

The Wise is not really a good card.

300 bucks for annual fee, no auto waiver, cashback need MYR 50 x 10 transaction per month.

Better stick with Mach.

Anyway I already got application form for wise. Was told by agent that 12 times swipe + 8k for gold and 15k for plat will get annual fee waiver.

Should ask you take a picture of the form as black and white proof.

Easier to confirm what we know and what we don't.

Okay la, 12 times or 8k quite decent for waiver.

Wise at the moment have no auto waiver. 12 times swipe + 8k for gold and 15k for plat is for other cards.

Its not too hard for me to get 10 swipes for groceries.

Many conflicting info regarding this. Duno who is right....

For WISE, let say I spend RM50 x 10 + RM10 on the same selected category (for the month)... would the 10% cashback based on RM500 or based on RM510 ?

Shud be 510...

Coz the minimum spending to qualify the 10% is RM50 X 10. But i wonder what happen if u didnt qualify as in miss the above by like 1 transaction or one of the transaction is RM49.95.... 0% cashback? Aiyo.. so damn sad if like that.

I guess a minimum swipe with WISE must be RM50 and above... Not too difficult actually.

depend on ppl lo. if like me is confirm mission impossible already...

Why all the cc now need Top-up's Fees, so $$$ Face of them...
Furthermore, the Twist & Turn's Rules & Regulations which Puzzled...

EXACTLY!!!

Which is why I think is great. I'm heading to the HLB outside my office to double confirm.

Few things to iron out...

1. Does autodebit considered a swipe?
2. 10 swipes for 1 category or just swipe 10times (xRM50) and enjoy 10% rebate on those eligible one
3. Annual fees waiver

The good thing is that even swipe by supplementary will be combined.

Do let us know your findings...

OK... Waiver first, I think no waiver but not sure if they will change it in future.

Now back to the card... choose 2 category and then plus bonus Mobile category.

Since Mobile is bonus, it does not matter how many transaction you made, they will only count as 1. So you have to make 9 others RM50 transaction in your choosen categories in order to enjoy the 10% off.

As for annual fee, according to the cs, better off with gold as annual fee is RM150 and primarily because the Platinum offer the same thing without additional stuffs for double the annual fee.

I have applied and will update when I get my first statement. This is what the CS relay to me so dont shoot me if there's anything wrong.

WISE card defeat their 2 own cards, essential card and mach cash back card.

WISE card for me is not suitable for a large amount of transaction.
eg.
you swipe rm900 for the first transaction, but u still need to have 9 more swipes which must be at least cost RM450 in that month. You will get RM100 cashback. But the % of cashback you will get is 100/1350 = 7.5% only

I still think the Mach has its use still.

The WISE is still quite new, plus some of the terms and conditions are not clearly published. Might as well wait before deciding.

But the GSC card from HLB definitely can throw already after Mach and WISE exist la
