Any recommended credit card with cash rebate for payment of property assessment and quit rent? Previously cash rebate of 5% available for OCBC titanium card but no longer available this month.

Outstanding Balance is a debt, unless you want to have bad credit history, better you go settle your debt.
Nowadays, max cash rebate you can get from government agencies bills is 3%, and that's with conditions.

If your Assessment bill is less than RM1K semi-annually, it does not make sense to go get another credit card because after deducting RM50 GST you ain't getting much in cash back or maybe nothing.

However, if you do spend like more than RM1K/month consistently, and need a replacement card for your OCBC Titanium MasterCard, click here to read my article titled The Best Cash Back Credit Card Combination 2014. You will note in this article that the AEON Watami is good for those who spend RM3K per quarter and Alliance Debit Cards may just be what you are looking for.

If you have the Maybankard 2 Cards - the AMEX does earn you 5% cash back on weekends and many local council do accept AMEX. Check with yours.

Hi Gen X
thanks for sharing. Have tried to pay assessment bills using Amex previously but somehow transaction rejected. Thought of applying Hong Leong Wise which offers 10% rebate but not applicable for assessment bills and quit rent. Looks like not much alternative to OCBC titanium card.

for hlb wise 10%:
1) need to swipe >rm50 for min 10x in a month to qualify for the 10%
2) only 2 categories + mobile are eligible for the 10%
3) high annual fees starting second year (unwaivable - but some said can)

for uob one 5%:
1) max rm500 for petrol which is rm25 cash rebate
2) some categories are 2% and others 0.3%
3) need to swipe 60x to waive annual fee of rm68 for classic; need to swipe rm36k or rm60k to waive annual fee of rm168 for platinum (able to waive by calling the cs but depends on individual)

for mbb2cards 5% amex:
1) free for life on annual fees
2) weekends 5% on all category (provided if the merchant accept amex) + 5x points (equivalent to 2%)
3) weekdays earn 5x points (equivalent to 2%)

Don't bother applying hlb wise., high rejection rate!
