I see no point in that, its not really an upgrade, more like a way to let OCBC earn more from me potentially

that subject to availability clause is so so vague.

In the end it might just turn out to be for the first 10 transactions of the day only? lol

Ocbc World Master Card offers 1.2% cash back

The annual fee is waived for the first year.

Can subsequent year be waived by calling or write in?

Nobody can give you a definite answer as this is a newly launched card.

As much as we all like it for that additional 0.2%, the annual fee conundrum is what's holding us back

OCBC giving unlimited cash rebate 1.2% for the World Mastercard is only good if u have very BIG one off purchases in addition to heavy regular monthly spending.

Say RM5K spending, OCBC Titanium = 1.0% Cash Back or RM50 and World Card = 1.2% Cash Back or RM60

If you charge the same amount to Alliance Platinum, you'll get Cash Back of RM68 plus can redeem Cash Vouchers of RM20 for total cash value of RM88.

But say, if u charge RM10K to the World Card, your Cash Back is RM120

If u charge to Alliance, your Cash Back is capped at RM68 + Cash Vouchers of RM41 for total cash value of only RM109.

seems to me this WMC is more like a feel good card for the holder only, no real world practicality

There is a saying that goes "the proof of the pudding is in the eating."

In the case of Credit Cards, the proof is in the addition or attrition rate. I suspect that OCBC will see record attrition in their Titanium Credit Card in addition to massive drop in Card Spend.

Can fool smart k/tars esp with sifus like Gen-X, Ronnie, etc

hence came the exercise of 5% off Dec 13 bills lol, perhaps an alarming rate of card cancellations

Sadly, me and the mrs did not receive such an offer despite being an active user.

I did get that sms but all my bills were already paid anyway,

besides, the 'subject to availability' clause makes people doubt their sincerity

Received a call from ocbc this afternoon and being offered to upgrade to OCBC WMC. Free 1st year annual fee waiver and RM50 rebate. If you accept this offer they will terminate your excisting TI and all exiting direct debit/monthly installment will be transferred to WM.

they might tempt you for the first year but annual fee might be a problem down the road
