QUOTE(MGM @ May 9 2014, 10:26 PM) For me they are complementary for I would use Wise for mobile,petrol and deptstore, PBB VS for dining, groceries & online and MBB2Amex for weekend and Watami for every other things. I use wise for mobile,groceries & travel... m2card amex platinum on weekend until maximum (i.e rm1k+rm1k) the rest will be using m2card amex reserve + VI

I only buy insurance twice a year for my 2 cars...so I prefer to use either m2c amex platinum for 5% CB or m2 card premier for enrich miles (rm2.25 for 1 enrich miles)

Medical costs these days are just too damned ridiculous. My company also covers my medical insurance, but the thing is, chances are you won't be working for the same company forever, and even if you do, when you retire at age 60, you'll have zero insurance coverage then, and it will be unthinkably expensive to start buying insurance when you're 60. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd just rather err on the side of caution.

does this card earn Cash Back for other transactions besides dining, grocery and online transactions? If no, what is the point of minimum CL RM30K since the cash back is capped at RM60. CL RM2K is enough, hahaha.
Okay you do earn 1 VIP Point, but I bet the returns will be less than 0.5% for cash vouchers. Therefore this is not competitive compared to say OCBC Titanium Mastercard which you give you1% CB.
And one only earns 1X Point for overseas transactions. This is really a joke for a so called Premier credit card.
I can tell you PBB will terminate or revise the 6% CB in less than 2 years just like what OCBC did for their Titanium MasterCard. This is because no one here in LYN CC Section is so stupid to go use the card for any other reason except to earn the RM60 monthly CB (max spending RM1K/month). Well, maybe those who want the free local airport lounge access can go use it at McD when overseas (and earn 6% CB too), hahaha

Still thinking if I should pledge 30K for the card. I have Mach that covers 5% dining, CIMB CB Plat for 5% online purchases and I don't really do grocery at all. I think it's better off putting my money in BR FD for better returns.

Sometimes money is not everything. 20 years ago people also don't have medical card, but why they have lesser sickness? Is our current lifestyle that makes us sick.

I am waiting for the (rumor) new OCBC card to see whether it has better cash back features. Currently all my non-weekend, non-amex dining go to Watami card for 3%. So the 6% here doubles it.
The lounge access is less attractive with the swipe condition.

In developed countries, nowadays people don't even have cheque book or cash in their wallet as most use Debit Cards. The Wave Feature is handy but like I said, better get RDIF blocking wallet. As for McD, no need go very far, McD SG accept CC/DC. However, I would suggest you get a PIN number if you really want to use your CC overseas for small purchases or at Self service counters.

My smallest ever trnx on my CC was a S$1.40 for a cup of soya bean at Mr. Bean. S$7 is all it takes to visit PPL. Good try
