And the MCC is defined by the bank who owns the terminal (not Public Bank)..... unless PBB Visa Signature is based on "human intervention"

you managed to register for online banking?

BTW, manage to get my PBeBank logon working after their IT "fixed" the unknown server error...

To create a PBeBank logon with your CC, follow this steps
1. Go to http://www.pbebank.com
2. Click on Banking (right at the bottom)
3. Click on E-Channel (right side bar)
4. Click on PBe Personal Banking
5. Click on How do I apply ? (right side bar)
6. Scroll down to "Option 3 - PBe Online Regsitration for PB Cardmembers"

Who in the logical mind create this web of links just to do something simple like putting on the logon page and says "Create Logon ID"


or Shortcut : https://www.pbebank.com/forms/form-pbebank-registration.aspx

haha 6 steps huh

Previously, went through 6 levels of links and failed .... due to some silly error.
Emailed them and NEVER response back to me.

An interesting feature on the PBeBank CC summary is "Authorised Charges".
This is the charge which was approved but not posted

I can't setup "E-Statement" also ..gets "Invalid Request"

Nice, I wonder why the CS who called me yesterday said it is not for public view

Comparison with OCBC:
Grocery (MCC codes 5411, 5422 and 5451)
Dining (MCC codes 5811, 5812, 5813 and 5814)

So less coverage!

I manage to drill the CS to get the details for me from their Marketing Dept.... persistence pays

Remember don't use PBB Visa Signature @ Burger King / KFC / Carl's Jr (in case under Fast Food MCC 5814)

so stingy on the coverage...

we have to come out another list to compile all the merchant within coverage

applied on 15/5, received the card today...
number 1008

Tan Sri Teh are not stupid

That's why I believe this 6% will last longer (hopefully) than OCBC Titanium

Well, I'm pretty sure they will play grey areas just like WISE
That's why he is the only Chinese that owned a bank with total asset close to Maybank and CIMB, is not because he got lots of business, is he is clever on playing such dirty tricks.

Finally received the card. You guys are right. This is the worst credit card package that I received. Just the letter with the card pasted on it and one leaflet about how to prevent card theft.

Is Starbucks in it's drinking places list (5813)?

Possibly 5812 if I'm not mistaken... yet to be tested.

For MCC5411, Citibank covers:-
99 Speedmart, AEON/AEON BIG, Ben’s Independent Grocer (B.I.G.), Billion, Cold Storage, Econsave, Everrise, Giant, Hero, Hock Choon, Jason’s Food Hall, Jaya Grocer, Maxvalu, Mercato, Mydin, NSK, Pacific/The Store, Servay, Tesco, TF Value Mart, and Village Grocer.

Not sure if stingy Public Bank shares the same.

I think it's good to create a thread and list down MCC codes for all the vendors since PBB VS, Wise and Mach all rely on MCC codes for the rebates.
