Going by the discussion here, I suppose it's safe to conclude that the transaction date is key to determine whether transactions fall into a particular calendar month's cashback quota? So to sum it up:

Cashback quota cycle: Calendar month
Cashback tracking: Transaction date

Hey guys, I've just received my SCB cards. It seems like they have changed the card design of the Cashback Gold Mastercard to this:

RinggitPlus

Strange that SCB's website is stil showing the old design.

May I know how to set the SMS alert threshold on online banking? I've just activated SMS Banking but couldn't find where to set the threshold under Alert Settings. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot. I managed to find it. Just short of one step

This is the crucial step: Click Transaction Alert Primary / Supplementary Card. It's a link to the page to set the threshold amount. (I didn't notice that it was a link earlier)

As stated in the threshold setting page, the minimum amount is RM250. If i'm not mistaken, I think earlier somebody reported that they managed to receive SMS alert on transactions below RM250.

To maximise the cashback for each Campaign Month, one needs to spend RM529.66 solely on DINING.

"If customer is entitled to rewards under more than one promotion or campaign run concurrently by the Bank, the Bank reserves the right to determine which reward the customer is entitled to." - Run Up Your Rewards 2016 campaign

Does this mean that I need to choose wisely whether I want to be considered exclusively on the above, or the dining 18.88% cashback campaign?

Today my smallest swipe of around RM30 at Watsons received an SMS alert. Another transaction of rm80 at a restaurant also received. My current threshold is the min rm250.

Today I swiped for RM4.90 but didn't receive SMS alert. This is the smallest transaction so far.

Swiped another RM27.29 non-OTP online transaction and received alert too.

I'm inclined to believe that it's random too. My last transaction of around RM28 at Cold Storage didn't receive any alert too.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before as I couldn't find it here or previous thread after searching

I've just received my first statement (2 cards combined). If I pay by IBG, do I pay to each of my card (2 transactions), or just 1 will do and SCB will apportion it across both of my card accounts?

That's fast! When did you sign up? I remember first seeing the campaign in end-Apr.

I signed up and received my cards in end-May and currently waiting for the Expedia voucher. The PriceSolutions staff told me that I need to wait for 60 days after activating my cards to receive my gift. Did RinggitPlus call/email to inform you on the fulfillment of the free gift?

Based on your past experience, are the cashback points credited into the cardholders' account batch by batch? Coz i haven't received mine yet. I'm relatively new and this is my first cashback

Edit: I understood how it works now. The "BONUS POINTS AVAILABLE" under Card Details shows 0. But when I click "Redeem Rewards Now", I can see my "Cashback MYR50" on the top left of the screen. Submitted my request for cashback to be credited into my card account.

I received the 18.88% dining cashback campaign (Round 1) on 12 Aug

"30 CashBack Dining Camp Rd1"

The last eligible transaction was performed on 23 June. Hope this helps!

My 2nd last transaction was 17 June and last on 23 June. Mine was a combination of multiple transactions. If the last fulfilling transaction on 23 June was not eligible, I wouldn't have received the full rebate.

Perhaps you can try and email them to file a dispute?

All my multiple transactions should tie with the cashback received (RM100) as I stopped spending after the 23 Jun transaction. The dining ones are all restaurant type and none was hotel related.

I'm quite surprised with rdevil33's non-dining related hotel transactions which were eligible. It could be a glitch in their tracking system, but still free money!

Perhaps it's a loophole rather than a glitch, since this is a dining rebate campaign. Maybe they can't segregate dining and non-dining related transactions from hotel-related MCC. Booking hotel rooms and get a "dining" rebate is a little mind boggling

I see...this is good to know. I suppose this type of hotel booking is over the counter with physical swipe, and not online bookings like Agoda, Expedia etc?

It seems like the earlier one meets the min RM500 spending requirement, the higher the chance. It's possible that "first come first served" is firstly determined by eligibility (min RM500), then followed by how early the qualifying dining transactions are.

I met my min spend of RM500 on 4 June.
