[Hi,

If I wish to apply credit card for monthly petrol RM100 only , shopping estimate RM50 only, e-commerce with hotel booking and e-ticket (overseas), and travelling may be once a year.... which card is suitable for me?

my salary < RM 40k.

Is it ok if I use Maybank 2 card (amex n mastercard) n combine CIMB cash rebate gold card?

Amex = use weekend on petrol and shopping.

Weekday = use CIMB ...

Travel use either CIMB or Maybank master card or maybank debit card.......(transaction charges = 1% ) , Amex 2.5% so better don't use right.....

Hotel & airline booking use CIMB /mastercard??

Example if I need to pay RM3000 permonth for online transaction.

a)If use Amex pay all Rm3000, cash rebate =RM50, rewards points = 15000,right?


b)If book hotel use Amex pay RM2000, cash rebate = RM50,rewards points = 10000
Then use CIMB CC (mastercard) pay RM1000, cash rebate = RM30,no rewards points??

Actually I am newbie to cc, is CIMB CC 5% cashback only apply to weekend? If e-commerce also apply to weekend ,then at least more optional.

Thanks biggrin.gif

what you need to also consider is whether the petrol/shopping/e-commerce merchants (which you targeted) accept amex or not.

also, monthly 5% max cb for mbb2cards is rm50 (but unlimited tp). monthly 5% max for cimb is rm30 (but no points). mbb 5% cb applicable to weekends only but cimb 5% everyday.

hi,
so,actually i was thinkg to apply both mbb n cimb .(free annual frees)
n now cimb apply online can get rm150 rebate.after minus Gst still hv rm100.

btw, if the min payment per month stated is rm50. is it mean if i only have outstanding Credit <rm50.00. then i cannot clear my credit balance until accum credit till > rm50.00.
then,they wil charge interest?
thks

when come to payment, you need to pay statement balance within 20 days from your statement date. paying only minimum  amount will incur interest.

Hi,

So, example, if I get statement date on 30th Sep. I need to pay by latest 20th Oct , in order to get free interest.

And,
a)For MBB 2 gold
>Minimum monthly paymentRM25 or 5% of outstanding amount

--> as long as I make transaction > RM 25 per month, and pay within 20days from statement date, I should be free interest and can use online Maybank2U to pay.

And MBB can used treat points to offset GST = rm100 per year.

which means for light user CC (just for petrol and light shopping) , still no win or lose.



b) For CIMB cash rebate gold card

Minimum monthly payment =RM50

---> so, I have to make transaction > rm 50 per month, in order to get interest free.

And, I have to spend at least RM1000 per year for online purchase (in order to offset GST RM50/year)

Thks

if you spend rm600 use cimb card which can be use any day so already maxed rm30 and wait for next statement to start spending again. if you have amount more than 1k or u still need to make online transactions on the same month/statement u should use mbb cards on weekends.

for travel overseas use mbb card cos cimb don't have points.  best card overseas is aeon card.

for hotel booking if is agoda, u can use either cards just have to remember spend rm600 for cimb but for booking.com remember to use mbb card only

1) if you spent rm500, you need to pay full rm500 within 20 days after your statement date. paying just minimum amount will not incur late charges but still will incur finance charges.
2) if you didn't spend anything, you don't have to pay any minimum payment at all.
