OCBC Titanium CC has been removed from OCBC Websire already.

Looks like its Good Bye to OCBC. It was a good CC, 5% rebate on Petrol, Restaurant, Telco.

Perhaps someone can call OCBC and ask how much longer the Titanium Card features will be maintained

Updated - at 7.00 pm

Okay - I just called up OCBC to threaten to cancel my Titanium Card if the Card / Benefits are discontinued and I was told that OCBC is doing a special launch of theie Platinum Card which offers unlimited 0.50% rebate on all retail spending. Hence, for those who spend a lot, its better than the Titanium.

The Titanium Card will still continue as per normal and will be re-sold after the special promotion for the Platinum ends in end-Nov 2013

Have stressed to the CS to inform OCBC Management that there will be MANY cancellations if the Titanium Benefits are reduced.

Sekian Terima Kasih

Well, Citibank Cashback Platinum offers a slightly lower rebate on other retail spending at 0.3%

But citibank has 1-big T&C is that your rebates must accumulate until it reaches RM50 before it will be allowed to offset against your monthly bill payable.

Hence, I will not be using my Citibank Cashback Card as I want my rebates IMMEDIATELY.

But if you combine with other category of 5% on petrol and 2% of groceries + pharmacy+ bill (using Citibank Online) and you're a big spender, reaching RM 50 per month is still possible.

It'll be like UOB and Citibank whereby transaction at certain category will be capped to certain upper limit.

This is not good sad.gif
BTW, any more details on how will they calculate for existing cash rebate?

my next statement cycle will be 19 Nov - 18 Dec.
does this mean the current 5% category from 19 Nov - 28 Nov will entitle 5% but after 29Nov will be 1%?
and also the capped, spending on 19 Nov - 28 Nov will get RM50 max, and unlimited(?) after 29 Nov?

for the 1%, it seems like still not clear.
is it UNLIMITED? 'total spending' got EXCLUDE any kind of spending? (petrol, gov...)
*
I think it could mean "any retail swipe regardless of category" but didn't say if the 1% rebate is still capped at RM 50 max too. I think it'll still mostly be capped at RM 50 max

It's only useful for cardholders in Klang Valley; not for other states if such promo is reintroduced.

2. UOB ONE

Since my OCBC's GST is due in Sep 2014... I'll hold until Aug 2014 to see if OCBC will "reactivate" the 5% rebate (wishful thinking)

just confirmed with OCBC CS, if you terminate your card before statement date, those transactions made before the statement date will not get any cash rebate

OMG. That's another sucks.

I can keep this card in the drawer after the upcoming statement date on 12th. doh.gif

Or maybe OCBC is dying because everybody is maxing out the 5% rebate and they are making a loss? We wouldn't know for sure. But yup, my OCBC Titanium is going into cold storage next to my SCB cards.

They won't die that easily. They used to be the strongest bank in the world. Now is 2nd place I guess!

I believe OCBC is prepared to lose a number of customers when they decide to revamp this. On their current OCBC Product Page it still says 5%

I guess they are banking on the fact that people would be too lazy to change and will continue to use the card since they have it. Especially those who can only have 1 credit card.

Oh well, I personally hope majority of the cardholder cold storage this card. (Yes I'm bitter, lol)
*
Well, if majority of the cardholder cold storage this card, that means the majority is still keeping the card and there won't a decrease in their cardholder base especially for this card.

I think action speaks the best by cancelling the card to voice the dissatisfaction over discontinuance of the 5% cash rebate.

For non-petrol, bills payment & groceries, this card still good as it offers 1% rebate over 0.3% on Citibank CBP and UOB ONE.

Gonna use UOB ONE for petrol, groceries and telco bills. Everything else, OCBC Titan sad.gif

At least for dining in KL, this card could still offer something good (if the Curve promo thing does come back) but not at Penang.
