Wait for me.
Immediately paid my Cukai Harta after reading this, your kiasuism is infectious.
Just hope that the 30k not used up yet cos there are people who are not aware of the reduction of rebate from 5% to 1%, and routinely paid their bills since yesterday.

Separate table for those spending 1k, 3k, 5k, should be sufficient, and would encompass a much larger audience then a 5k/mth category.

Anyway, kudos to your work, I visit your blog regularly to keep up with the best deals (kiasu-ism  )

To those who stopped spending from 29 Nov to 16 Dec..... like myself.

DarReNz - if for RM1.5K without Petrol - Watami may just be perfect for you.

Hi,

Yes, GE don't accept AMEX and GE don't charge on weekend. If it does, I'll use Maybank2cards

That's the reason I'm using OCBC to swipe my insurance and unit trust.

ya, thats the main concern on the GST, will try to call CS during GST month.. if i dont spend the balance amount on OCBC, I will only spend on MBB ordinary card, which earn me only TPs.

A rough calculation showed me, if I spend over 700 per month, I shall use OCBC instead of ordinary TP cards.

Thank you - a good summary. It just reaffirms my intention to apply the other card while keeping the ocbc titanium. I guess my senario is bit different since I do not have spending on petrol as I own a company petrol card and mobile.

the gst can be reversed? I don't think so. Better just keep it since there is no turning back

HLB Wise or MACH card better?  I need to transfer all my online auto debit to one card and I dont know which one now.  CIMB only 0.5% AND ALLIANCE CASH back sucks too.  I dont spend enough on HLB Wise to qualify for 10% because I have to remember to swipe 10x per month @50 to qualify!  How to do that religiously? Card just got charged RM50.  Then, asked for upgrade to WC, says got annual fee and gst waiver. So, now waiting for new card.  They are supposed to cancel the old card and reverse the gst charged on that card...then transfer all my online billing to new card and get gst waiver on new card.  Or else I will be paying RM50 for old card...killed after replaced by WC, then pay RM50 again (waived) for new card.  Anyone understand how this works?  This will give me time to apply for new card before transferring all to another card.  REally troublesome!

Just for your info, we can request all banks to set the trigger limit to our preference. They will tell you it is not possible, but will comply straight away once you report this to Bank Negara.

Most large bills like school fee, hospital bill, car service n repair bill, insurance premium, home appliances, gadgets, general merchandise retail outlets can't be paid by Amex. Therefore OCBC unlimited 1% is still pretty good to cater for these payment categories. Im keeping this card since it is a free for life card. 
As for the GST, I think it is still a discretionary waiver depending on one's spending and repayment record.

received this sms last month... and this morning another time too...

Thanks guys for your reply!

Don't quite spend much. My maybank2 Visa is mainly tied to my installment plans. I rarely use it to swipe.
I use Amex over the weekend prolly not more than 500 per month. Pay hp bills with amex as well.
As for UOB, currently using it for petrol and sometimes for buying stuff at the pharmacy/grocery/hypermarket.

Overall. excluding the installment plans, I spent not more than 1k using my CC.

yes, other banks like hsbc or standchart never fail on this. but for ocbc, they seems like don't entertain to absorb the gst anymore after they changed the t&c. unless maybe if your gst anniversary was in dec'13/jan'14 and you have already spent >rm10k well before they changed the t&c. then they might consider to absorb for this time and just this time only.

I have canceled my OCBC card too. OCBC not worth keeping especially now without the RM50 GST rebate.

Even Maybank2card AMEX without weekends can get 2.5% on anything you buy. 5x reward points. Beats this OCBC without doubt.

Maybank2card and WISE for me.

for me, aeon watami and hlb wise have different use.

aeon watami is for insurance, car service/repair, dining, other common purchases. mainly use during weekdays, or weekends (only if amex is not accepted).
hlb wise is for groceries, petrol, mobile.

also, mbb2amex for weekends expenses.
