Just applied thru my home bank yesterday. Let's see how fast HLB approve my application.
I had chosen petrol and groceries catergory.
My strategy to max up all my cash back CC is to give priority to Wise card on the 3 categories I entitled to 10%. As for other catergory of spendings, i will allocate it to MBB Amex2card and OCBC Ti.
Damn....! Need to carry 3 cards doh.gif

ok i just called CS - NO waiver at all, must pay annual fee and pay GTS That is a minimum of RM200 for gold card, platinum card pay more!!

so before get any CB already kena RM200 if u take gold card.

If later cash back cant' get max RM100 per month, may end up worse than our OCBC RM600 per card per year, mine is RM1200 per for 2 cards and also other rebates from my amex cards....

NOw this is something for us to consider.... if we have difficulty swiping all transactions on the seleceted category may be not worth rushing to get it as ronnie has pointed out....

First i thought got waiver wanna simply apply, now cannot simply take already must calculate properly first how much our CB will be since only seleceted category got CB... aiseh susah.........to calculate...
*
Take CS words with a pinch of salt, my gut feeling tells me HLB will waive AF upon request. Even with AF, Wise is still giving the best CB in town.

hi guys, just a quick question, how do they determine merchants?

refering to the cashback for dining only:All dining outlets (MCC 5811, 5812, 5814)

how do we know the restaurant we visit fall under this mcc?
*
Better stick to petrol and groceries only. Let OCBC Ti takes care of restaurant. No more headache.

QUOTE(MorpheusZZ @ Jan 23 2013, 10:11 AM)
Me and my colleague also got conflict. Both of us are interested n called the Call Centre and but ended up with conflicting answers regards to the 10 transactions, whether it is only applies to the selected category or open to all.

Life is already very hectic. Now, WISE is making us not so wise with so many people confused with the feature and the feedback from their call centre.

HL Call Centre.....if you see this, puck up la.
*
I only trust the black and white writting and I think the tnc and FAQ clearly explained the 10 tranxs rules.
I was told by my home branch staff that the min 10 tranxs and CB must be transacted within billing cycle doh.gif whereas the tnc clearly stated it is base on calendar month basis.

Applied for this card.. But now it seems to me it is very very complicated to use it. =.= their terms & condition aren't clear enough.
*
Quite clear la....3 categories, min 10 x RM50 tranx, max RM100 CB per calender month. For those who can easily hit 10 x RM50up under petrol, mobile and groceries should not be complicated at all.

Day 16, Just received approval sms notification. Slow and not efficient.
Definitely wouldn't get the CC before CNY.
By the time I get this CC it will be after mid Feb, so I wouldn't use this card for Feb due to lack of time to spend 10x min RM50.

Applied on 1st Feb and received the card on 14th Feb.
GST already charged into the acct.
Will keep the card and start using only from 1st March.
Anyone know if HL has the sms alert upon using the card? Can set limit to RM1?

Update: Called CS, the agent said the sms alert is there for all transaction regardless of amount.

Successfully activated my WISE card today and logged in to Hong Leong Connect wanted to pay TNB bill. Unfortunately my WISE card was not listed in the ""Pay From Account" in the ""Bill Payment"".
doh.gif Sienz... HLB always have this type of blunder. mad.gif
The WISE card was listed in the ""Account Overview"" though.

Good scenario which need to be tested:

RM 100 gloceries bill to split off 2 swipe.. RM 50 each, consider as 2?
Even phone bill as if my uMobile bill is up to RM 150, I paid each time RM 50, so is it consider as 3 times in a month?

Cheers.
*
To my understanding, it should be counted as 3 transactions but to confirm it, we need to wait for the statement.

Now my first priority is given to WISE card for the three spend categories, next in line is MBB2card Amex, third OCBC Ti, fourth CITIBank CB.
Maximum CB is RM230 + 5000 MBB TP (RM25) per month.

There is no way you can earn 10x min RM50 transactions qualification for CB via Hong Leong Connect bill payment under Utility and Mobile categories.

HLB always behave like a cheapskate bank.

We can always pay Mobile bills from vendor's online portal, right ?
Maxis allows E-Billing Payment with any Visa/MasterCard
*
I would expect a one stop bill payment gateway with preregistered billers for ease of payments from HLB connect.
You still can't pay TNB online using WC, not sure about Digi, Celcom and Umobile though.

Hi Ronnie and all,
Can u pls advise if my Maxis bill is RM200, and i break to pay in 4 times on same day in Maxis online portal, is it counted as 4 transactions in Wise card?

Thank you
*
It will be counted as 4 times but the problem is there is no way to break it to 4 payments. You must pay the full amount.

Of course you won't get 10%, cos the MCC in the Petrol Cashier(5541) is different from what WISE Petrol rebate uses (5542)
*
I intentionally did this test for bro eddievh who raised this question last month.

QUOTE(ronnie @ Mar 10 2013, 09:38 PM)
Can you also confirm the following:-
1. Does the calculation of 10% rebate is based on all transactions in a calendar month (not statement month)
2. Which date does the Cash Rebate goes in : every 1st of the next month or last day of the next month ?
*
1. Based on posting date in a calender month.
2. On the 28th of next month bill cycle.


QUOTE(tbheng @ Mar 10 2013, 10:05 PM)
Huh? Why cannot?  blink.gif
Do you mean in the Maxis portal or from bill payment in HL connect?
And I remember we can even overpay. I did that a few times during the ocbc bill payment promo.

Update: As tested before, can't choose Wise to pay for Maxis bill in HL Connect. What a disappointment. Then got to pay in Maxis portal.  sad.gif
*
Maxis portal. But just couple of days ago, maxis launch a new bill payment service where you can pay any amount as you like. One must preregistered credit card similar to that of PayPal, then future payments does not require keying in cc details again. Ive lost the info link. Please search the web and post the link here.

Got my 10% CB too, paid precisely on 28th March.

Maxis Home Fibre payment also considered as mobile category and entitle to 10% CB.

Petrol transactions swiped at the cashier's CC terminals not entitle to CB. Only swiped at the pump entitle to CB.

Giant hypermarket, yes 10% CB under grocery category.

AEON BIG formerly Carrefour, any one tested it ? should be entitled CB under grocery category even thought the name changed. AEON formerly Jusco is under department store though.

so did you guys split your bills?
let say Rm200 for maxis so you do rm50 x 4 transactions?
*
Depending on your monthly spending frequency. if you are a sales and marketing guy, the petrol alone no need split also can hit 10 times min RM50. If you are an office guy, then you may want to split it.

Is the CB amount rounded to the nearest Ringgit ?
*
Yes. rounding up to the nearest ringgit.
ie. RM197.00 gets RM20 CB.

Then it's really risky to get this card for those 50-50% swipper, really need to think WISEly to subscript it
*
Unless you spend less than rm500 on phone bill, broadband, petrol and grocery on your monthly living expenses.
I heard it's not easy to get this card. Those who can qualify for this card surely have a decent monthly income and warrant such spendings.
