Applied last friday, called CS today to check application status, it is approved!!!
hope my card can be ready on next week.

It seems like easier to get approved if you apply through OCBC branch, my sister applied via booth during exhibition kena rejected two month ago= =
(some info : the branch officer handle my application told me submitting EPF statement printed from OCBC koisk will help to make the application smooth when they saw the OCBC koisk xxx from the statement )

btw, about swipe 3 times within 45 days after card approved to get RM50 cash back for offset GST, is it still valid?

wow nice, 3 times for petrol within 45 is a piece of cake
no minimum value for the 3 swipe, right?

then can easy to get 3 swipe in one day by preset petrol over pump for rm10, rm10 and then full tank

i applied in OCBC Cheras Alam Damai, there have EPF koisk.
normally bring IC to print EPF enough, you can also bring along 3 months payslip for support document.
one days after they called you for verified, you can call CS to check card application status already

1 pump for each week could achieved already

Congrats!

i applied at 26 July and get called at 30 July, everything seems fast. Then i called CS to check card application status at 1 Aug, the system replied that my cards application is approved! But until now no SMS to me about the card is sending to me

All in Holiday mood?

you could try on OCBC Cheras Alam Damai branch, the people said basic 2500 monthly can try to apply. And i and my college has been approved.

Some tips they share with me is the EPF they need to print on their branch, and printed 2012 and 2013 statement to support.

yesterday i call CS to check, they said the card is created at 1 Aug and sent on 2 Aug but just no SMS. so i might get my card on next week.

my card is approved and been sent out on 2 Aug.

but until now not received the card yet.
CS said the card is send by normal mail, but i had received the approval letter (dated 2 Aug) from ocbc on 13 Aug. So it should be received at least today (today is 7th working day from 2 Aug)

seems like my card most likely lost, will call CS to reissue another card for me if tmr still not received


btw, if i tell CS to send the new card to certain branch, can i authorize someone like my father to collect it?

you will know your billing cycle when you get your first statement. (statement date)
or i think you can call CS to ask for the statement date if you want to know before your first statement.
for payment via m2u, just use interbank fund transfer (IBG/GIRO) then select Credit Card Payment. the account number will be your 16 digit card number. charges will be rm 0.10

no card received until yesterday, called CS and they judge is lost, will issue another new card. They say this time they will send by courier, should be received it by next thursday.

Why not they send by courier at the first time

ya, Raya holiday might be the cause
the card is send out the same day with the letter of approval. However the letter already arrived but not the card.

Anyway, already reported and they will issue another new card and send by courier this time, will received it next wednesday/thursday.

finally got my card!

Approval date = 1 August, it has been so long
if they could have send the card by courier in the first time

the condition should be swipe 3 times within 45 days from card issue date (date stated on card letter)
after that you need to spend 10K to waive GST

i wonder why i cannot register my digi bill account in OCBC online banking, it keep showing "Please enter a valid bill reference no. (1018)"

and the sample digi bill acount number is "5.78544.00.00.100089"
but my bill only "1.xxxxxxx" (7 digit).

is it new format does not support by ocbc online banking?


btw, register OCBC titanium on m2u and pay bill via m2u for utilities bill can entitle 5%?
(mainly celcom and digi since m2u not support amex)

Thanks for your reply

now i only know the "." need to remove registered with this "." in m2u with no problem

just want to ask, the "1" is included as my account number?
for "1.234567", acc num will be 1234567 or 234567?

ok

i wonder why digi place the "." for?
if for separate purpose, usually use "-" right?

m2u will not charged for the transaction, is just that i don't know if can sure get 5% or not
anyway only OCBC portal can pay SYABAS bill by CC, i just stick with OCBC online portal (just don't like its VB style interface )

OCBC portal show the whole card number, which i don't like.
the receipt generated also printed all number

no cap for the category itself, RM50 cap is for overall cash rebate cap, which included 5% and 1% rebate (combined)
so if you only pump petrol, then max rebate will be cap on rm50 too
if you spend rm1000 ONLY in 5% category, then you reach rm50 cap
if you spend rm5000 ONLY in 1% category, then you reach rm50 cap
if your transactions have 5% and 1% category, then calculate yourself

yes, cash rebate follow billing cycle. personally i think this is better as i can easily monitor if i had exceed rebate quota, then can use other card

Principle card holder = spend 10k to waive RM50 GST
sub card holder = spend 5k to waive rm25 GST

let say principle rm9K, sub rm6K, sub card sure can get usage bonus, how about principle? (combined spend is 15k)

is it the 'usage' it self is bond to the the physical cards?

I face this when my times, late mail deliver to me because of hari raya that time, but i already request a new card

basically the previous card they already blocked it and cannot unblock it, you will need to wait for your new card.
btw, you can request them to send the new card to you by courier (poslaju) if you are not free to the branch

Got my answer from Annual Usage Bonus FAQ
