Yesterday was quite crowded in the branch. The branch manager was at the desk handling my cc application. Besides, she also made a few calls for some clarification.
I also remember reading from news that the free AF/GST is part of the launching offer. Like this one.
Let see what will happen.

My understanding as per TnC is yes, you'll get RM100 cb, but only on 28th of the following month and not by end month.

Like that not sure...maybe you can call their cs and find out.
My thinking is, if it is free I'll gain more; if got to pay, still gain, but lesser.
It is their TnC, we can't do much.

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.

+100
Need a good plan (and convenient enough) to maximize the RM100 CB per month...

I have tried, when choose Maxis/Celcom/Digi under pay bill Telco&Internet, no option to select Wise card. Same for TNB under Utilities.
Unifi does support paying using Wise card, but there is no rewards to pay Unifi using Wise card.
Probably to use Wise to pay telco bill is as per some suggested to pay at telco website or maybe register Wise card at m2u. I have seen the feature but never get to try it. Anyone tried before? Or maybe payonline or portal that support thirdparty cc.

Called CS today and found out the following for sharing:
1. SMS alert for using Wise card - if online with OTP, no SMS alert; if online w/o OTP, sms alert for any amount. If retails swipes, sms alert for > RM1k. (The last CS reps told me any mount. ) To change the threshold amount, need to fill form at branch. Anyone has any experience in changing the threshold amount for Wise card?

2. Wise card transaction at HL connect - currently only can see principal card transactions but not supp card transactions. (This apply to all HL cc not just Wise. The last CS reps said can see. ) One can check supp trans from hardcopy statement or call CS. What a low tech bank. This cause inconveniences in tracking our 10x swipes thingie.

3. Statement date - can change to any of the following day of the month: 1,3,4,11,15,17,19,21,24,25,26,27,29.

Disclaimer: Don't quote me, these were told to me, as you know we do get different answers from different CS reps.

Hi ronnie, mind to share the form u used? Any link? Work for Wise card? Thanks

Update: Is this the form? Hmmm, why no place to put in the card no (Pricipal + supp)? Is it meant to set for all cc one held with HLB?

Not for me.
I will take all their cashback and will not let them charge me any interest.

Huh? Why cannot?
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.

Hi guys, thanks for being the forerunners.
So you guys saw the CB in your statement or at HL connect on 28 March itself?
I have started using only in March, hence got to wait till 28th April.
But at least there are success cases.
Eagerly awaiting for my first 10% CB...

Ooo....I am a little surprise to see this, even the TnC would say "Posted Transactions"...
I am having the impression that they will count all transaction with transaction date within the calendar month and posted within 28 days, since they only post the CB on 28th of the following month....hence they have 28 days for those transactions to be posted.

For MB2 Amex, since CB is posted on 1st of following month, hence can only count "posted" transaction before end of last month.
For OCBC, since CB is posted on statement date, again can only count posted transaction within statement cycle.

Do you also see any of your transactions near Feb end and not counted on CB posted on 28 March?

Allow me to ask another question to those who have receive CB...
Must the first 10 transactions be > RM50? (See, this is different than at least 10x RM50 within the month).
Says I swipe 5x > RM50, then 3x < RM50, then 5x > RM50, then 4x < RM50. (says all 17 transactions within the categories and posted within the month.)
The "3x < RM50" should get CB as well right? Hence all 17 transactions get CB, right?

I did swiped on 30 and 31 Mar, shall see what goes into my CB on 28th Apr.
