I think u have been pampered with the 5% too much. 1% unlimited with no category restrictions is quite a good card. Just like HLB essential too.
I went to book store today and spent around rm900. They don't accept amex and I don't have watami, so ocbc is the best candidate here, and for MANY other occasions too.
Ya, different card users may have different usage pattern...
I was looking for unlimited CB last time, almost get the HL Essential card.
Now I just treat my ocbc tmc as if I got the HL Essential card...similar features
Yes, I am keeping ocbc tmc for the same reason : big ticket items that not accepting Amex.
Just to share my big amount swipe in March on my ocbc tmc...
1. I swiped 12k on an investment product with ocbc tmc (not accepting Amex) >> Got RM120 CB which would be only RM50 max in the past.
2. I got the annual usage bonus from ocbc, most probably due to this irregular swipe. Worth RM75 (principal+supp).
3. I cancelled the investment during cooling period (felt not a good investment after reconsideration) >> I got refunded in cheque >> I put into eFD to earn 3% for one month before my ocbc tmc due date.
4. I BT 12k to Watami cc on 0% interest 6mth installment >> further pace out the cash outflow for another 6mth, more eFD interest, and get reward point in the process.
5. ...
