Thanks..i think this concept is the same as taking ASB loan to apply for ASB. Effective interest will eventually become higher..

If you want to make money, apply for HLB's WISE and swipe for groceries only. Then what ever groceries you bought, sell it back for the price you buy. Like Top detergent you bought it at rm10, sell it back at rm10. You can gain rm0.825 from it. If you can make full use of rm1000 on it, you only pay rm900 to HLB every month. So rm100 you make.
But as everything price are up, I'm selling the Top detergent at rm11(make rm2 every bag I sold).
Borrow money from bank and put FD to make money can't work, unless the interest rate are >6% a year.

I agree...OCBC is good as secondary card. Same cases when OCBC change the benefits from 5% limited to 1% unlimited, this unprecedented scenario also can happen to MBB AMEX if MBB decided to change from 5TP to 1TP or 2TP.. i bet alot of people will cancel Amex if that happens..nothing is impossible...

It all depending on your monthly spending, for me, primary card is WISE and secondary is MBB dual cards.

i mean 3% flat rate per annum is still not worth to put in fd. unless the fd rate is higher than 5.5%.

why? bcs the effective rate of 3% flat rate per annum is 5.49%. you may check the conversion of rates here:

further explanation as below:

I'm quite dumb of this(flame me if you guys wish), what's the difference between effective interest rate and interest rate?

I prefer to use 2 EA forms on this, applying using few years back and increasing limit using another EA, easier to prove that I'm able to pay in full amount.
Or another way is original CL are rm5000 and every month I'm using rm3000 then managed to pay in full before due date, then chances aso higher.
Or I worked a lot of OTs, then the payslip are showing better figures thumbup.gif
If normal office workers I doubt can success on this, unless the initial CL are low flex.gif
Anyway, my CL being increased are the bank helped to increase, I never apply for it whistling.gif

Why still want to swipe (give business) on OCBC's Titanium since their cashback reduction from 5% down to only 1% rebate? Even the 1% is unlimited, but it's still low at 1% only compared with its previously higher 5% rebate!

Even with the previously amended minimum income requirement down to 24K from 36K initially, it is definitely not a worth credit card to swipe to give business for OCBC since they're so stingy and calculative by reducing the cashback down to 1% only! What even more to say now as they're so super-stupidly increased the minimum income requirement to 60K per annum? Maybe their marketing department were filled with all dumb and backward-thinking human being?

With its minimum income requirement getting ups and downs like share prices, how could-able this card labelled as higher class type, when it easily can be applied with 24K per annum previously? Same scenario to OCBC WMC(with RM388 un-waiveable annual fee) that had changed its minimum income requirement to 100K from 60K previously, as the ups and downs like share prices here showed they even don't know where's the exact class that they're deserved to stand properly!

Therefore, OCBC cards definitely a Big-No-Favorite credit card to hold nowadays.

Not really. For now, I use WISE(10%), MMB dual cards(5%) which I'm having hard time to hit rm1000 without helping others.
But if your total monthly spending are > rm2000, OCBC are not bad.

I successfully login, the interface in much nicer. But unless you use all their banking facilities, actually there is not much usefulness in my case where I only use their credit cards... liability 100%

Who will going to surf own banking account for 1-2 hours?
Mine the most only take me 20 minutes, that also because need to register TM, TNB and other paymen related accounts.

That's why the interface are not important sometimes.
As long as we can get the right place to do the right thing are more important.
