Initial #15March2014: Applied OCBC World MasterCard at booth in shopping mall for
- 1.2% rebate (backup to Wise and MBB2Plat)
- 2x KLIA premium lounge access (next month go vacation can use)
- free 20" cabin luggage (hopefully next month go vacation can use)
- Freebie: Canvas Tote
- RM50 rebate (to offset GST)
Annual fee, promoter unable to confirm for 2nd year waiver because card is new. Advise to call before card expiry to request waiver, or else opt to cancel the card.
Was told normal approval cycle is 2 weeks. Card will be sent via normal post (not PosLaju) - reason given was that customers need not to be at home to have card delivered, else have to make a separate trip to PosLaju to collect.
Was told luggage will be sent 4-6 weeks (he said so far very "on time" delivery) after qualifying spend (3 swipes within 1st 45 days).
Update #1March 22: Received Welcome SMS from OCBC. Card and PIN on the way! 1 week approval time.
Update #2April 11: Received luggage trolley bag. 3 weeks free gift fulfillment time after 3 swipes. Less than 1 month from card application time.
