1. Have to pay before the bill generated or else will be double pay. From my experience with autodebit, the autodebit card will pay the bill statement amount and not the outstanding amount
2. Yes, since my bill statement will be RM2 and ocbc will pay the statement amount
3. I think so can. But i experienced once which I overpaid and there was no RM2 rebate. Hence I always pay slightly less to make sure I received the RM2 rebate.
Another note to inform. Do pay before at least 3 working days before the bill statement date. Hence I always pay the weekend (make sure more than 3 days) before my bill statement
Thanks for info sharing.
As I understood from your posts. You use the Scenario 1 as example and also experience Scenario 3b below.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Scenario 1:
21 July : (Saturday, >3 days before bill date) Pay RM145 using Amex.
25 July : (bill date) Bill amount = RM149 - RM145 (advance payment) - RM2 (discount) = RM2
1 Aug : (ocbc auto pay kicks in 1 wk after bill date) = RM2
Scenario 2:
21 July : (Saturday, >3 days before bill date) Pay RM147 using Amex.
25 July : (bill date) Bill amount = RM149 - RM147 (advance payment) - RM2 (discount) = RM0
1 Aug : (ocbc auto pay kicks in 1 wk after bill date) = RM0 (no transaction take place)
Scenario 3a:
21 July : (Saturday, >3 days before bill date) Pay RM149 using Amex.
25 July : (bill date) Bill amount = RM149 - RM149 (advance payment) - RM2 (discount) = - RM2 (over paid)
1 Aug : (ocbc auto pay kicks in 1 wk after bill date) = RM0 (no transaction take place)
Scenario 3b:
21 July : (Saturday, >3 days before bill date) Pay RM149 using Amex.
25 July : (bill date) Bill amount = RM149 - RM149 (advance payment) - RM0 (no discount) = RM0
1 Aug : (ocbc auto pay kicks in 1 wk after bill date) = RM0 (no transaction take place)
I was hoping TM will do like Scenario 3a, as at times I purposely overpay to maximise cc monthly CB. I will try to see what happen.

wah this is interesting! Before autopay due, pay part of theTM bills with MBB Amex and then leave the balance for OCBC titanium to pay on TM autopay system????
But minimum charge must be RM20 to get rebate RM2 from TM. So if your month bill is RM147, you should pay only RM127 with MBB Amex and leave RM20 for OCBC Ti cherge by TM autopay.
Did i get what you say correctly??
The question is would TM or OCBC allow us to play them up like that?Any real first hand experience??
I called OCBC CS he recommended to be safe for OCBC 5% CB better dont use TM autopay!!! Use OCBC website that is what he said.
Need first hand eexperience report here.
Is this RM20 min charge in TnC? Any source?
Yes, I have tried this method (reg auto pay by ocbc cc, manual pay using Amex on weekend) for my TNB (electricity bill), I get 5% + 5xTP from Amex; and 5% from ocbc (auto pay my bill amount).
