Watami is good for the first RM1,666 a month where u get 3% Cash Back every quarter.  Also, u get Points to redeem  AEON Vouchers based on ratio of 250 points to RM1.00 Cash Voucher.  However, except for seected campaign, Petrol is not counted as Retain Spent.

Wise is good only if u can fulfill their T&C, which is min 10 swipes of RM50 each per month and u spend a lot in the Cash Back categories.

UOB good and easy with no complicated T&C. 

Petrol gets 5% - but there is a cap
Telco gets 2% - but there is a cap
Hypermarket - also gets 2% but with cap

So, it really depends on your Spending Pattern.

Don't forget Alliance Platinum.  For RM5K spent a month, your cash back is RM68 + RM20 in cash vouchers.

Thanks for the info. So overall from what I see watami is the only card that quite close to the old OCBC Ti. Wise is a good card just that the only drawback are their T&C (10 swipes of RM50 per month and ) and no waiver for AF

I tried switching from my UOB One Card to HL WISE Card, tot i can enjoy the 10% cash rebate on Mobile, Petrol and Dining.

Ended, some month i get the rebate some month i ended ZERO. The criteria for 10 x RM50 is difficult leh.

One of the month, i got 9 transactions......didn't realise i need to spend 1 more time to get the cash rebate.

HL Wise manager, if you see this message.....please remove this troublesome criteria. Or else, i will divorce you during my first year anniversary with you.

Life is already stressful, and this card give me more headache. I better stick back to my UOB One Card. At least i don't have to do tracking.

that's y until now I am still reluctant to get this card as my OCBC Ti replacement, it is a bit difficult for me to maintain the 10x usage frequency and the AF is not waive able

if you spend less than rm 500/month then it will be a lil hard

well it is not the matter of spend less than 500 is more like matter of going through the trouble of asking the sales person break the single transaction into multiple swipe. Most of the time u have to beg them and yet they are showing you some face color due to making their life difficult

Let me try to answer my own question.
After reading Gen-X wonderful analysis on best cash back credit card, I think the best combination for me is the MBB2 Amex + Alliance Hybrid Premium Debit card.

I thought of OCBC Titanium, but if I can get 2% from Alliance debit card then why do I need to keep OCBC Titanium?
I thought of HLB Wise, but I don't think I can swipe RM500 on the selected categories. Heck... I don't even think I can swipe 10 times RM50 to qualify for rebate.

Appreciate feedback on my analysis.

same to me here. I plan to fully utilize my MBB2C and keep my current OCBC Ti till the next annual date while waiting for any good CC(which suit my spending behavior)
