Hong Leong Bank targets 100,000 "Wise Credit Card" holders - The Star

Ya kah..
Paiseh i did not notice...just realize can only choose 2 out of the 10 categories, and minimum RM50 per transaction

Hmm you mean like splitting your TNB bill to 50s
Good Idea, just that very mafan, and not sure if they will make a clause saying no bill splitting or not
my monthly TNB bill no RM550, next time i go ask my friends/relatives, ei help you pay bills...

To me 10 transactions/month is ok, but the jialat 1 is each transaction must be min. RM50,


Somehow i feel the rebates given very unwillingly

And they purposely exclude TM izzit?

Ya.... means we have to make this card for special purpose, for example

I apply this card just for Mobile, Utilities and Petrol


So just max out the card so that we get RM100 for the above 3 categories, just like what spikeman suggested


This is better than OCBC Titanium, coz you get 10% instead of 5%...this is threatening OCBC Titanium...(but OCBC Titanium no minimum swipe and minimum spending per month)

Then you can use your MBB2 Amex for others such as departmental store, pharmacies (watson & GUARDIAN etc)

First year free, so use 1 year and cut before the next GST & Annual Fee is due...haha

But assuming we max out the card, means we get RM100 x 12 = RM1200/year. Deducting RM150 (for gold), we still get RM1050/year, which is still very good

PWTC having Mother, Baby & Kids Exhibition

Went there just now, saw HSBC, SCB, Citibank, UOB, Hong Leong Bank setting up booth promoting the CC...

Hong Leong bank is promoting this Wise CC, wanted to go ask but too many things to carry d, end up no ask....

Hmm this better be true... coz last time i have such encounter whereby the actual offer is different from what the sales promised(HXXX bank), there is always a catch for whatever they advertised

I guess they just want to fast fast close the case, and earn the commission.
