amex acceptance is one thing.

another thing is its cb only capped at rm50. if i need to swipe anything bigger than 5k, ocbc tmc still better.

actually watami you can easily maxed out your limit if you keep doing BT to it

All these have cash vouchers
Uniqlo, MPH, Harvey Norman, Toys R Us

i believe im going to say bye bye to this "once upon a time was a great card" card. 1% rebate for all transaction really not my cup of tea.

No lah... that's ronnie preferred merchants for Flash Deal

yeah, but it eligible on week day like friday for a certain office hours. Somemore i seldom purchase things from those merchants. Its depends individual

anyone success got their government tax waved?

mine going to charged this month

Spend over 10k? Do share with us on the outcome.
Did you spend over 10k?

i'll try my luck to call them also...
maybe tomorrow
my total spending from Jan till now roughly 17k...

xiaomi alone cost me like 3k

i only take the power banks

others not mine lol just help friend and colleague to buy
i hope i can get the waver

maybe threaten them that i going to cancel the card so that they wave the government tax for me

According to CS, need to cancel OCBC TI card and reapply for the TI Pink CC but still need to pay rm50 GST.

no choice lor. It's BNM's directive.

What banks can do is offer signup rebate promotions to get us stay for 1 year.

you need to do some rough calculations of your spending behavior whether your annual cashback is > RM50.

OCBC's is 1% unlimited cashback but need to spend at least RM5k just to break-even (year 2 and onwards). Good if you always have large spending but even that, Aeon Watami is still better than OCBC's.

3k per quarter, 1k per month. better than OCBC's 1% if you're always spending about that range (hence i stated earlier ... "Good if you always have large spending")

dont rush for credit card. there are logical reasons why BNM set the min. income; helping you and the bank.

try some decent basic card (or even debit card like RHB's or CIMB's) for convience, not chasing cashback/reward cuz ultimately you still to repay back to bank for the actual spending anyway.

what card(s) are you holding now?

should be enough liao la 

Do share on the "closed room lesson" pls... 

I used for monthly petrol, phone bill and groceries... nicely cover 1k.

But for extra shopping, One Card just a let down, probably cz the rebate also on Petrol, groceries and stuff... I only get around RM10+ rebate for 1.8k last 2 month. 
Watami vs PBB card?

this year's november havent reach and you're worried about nxt year's november? 

by the time GST enforced on 1 April 2015, credit card service tax would be abolished.
slight off-topic, now i see why Maybank2cards enfored 2X RM50 svc tax beginning July 2014. It is a ~1-year strategy until next April 2015 before they dont have to collect for Govt anymore (and absorb 1X RM50 for existing mbb2cards users).

no la..no 6%

as for whether the GST for cc is going to be abolish or not, nothing to stop the government from renaming it to other name and still impose RM50, if they want.
