Guys, so just to confirm. I've just received my Wise card on early Nov, and my statement date is on
27th each month, so I have managed to complete 10 x RM50 transactions on
Nov, I am supposed to only see my cash back on the
28th Dec right?
And since my statement is only until 27th Dec, so I will only see my Nov cash back on the following month's (27th Jan) statement right? Because for my 27th Dec statement, I still have not seen any of my Nov's cash back.
Your are correct.
Statement date has no bearing on Cash back entitlement. As long as all your qualified transactions posted in a CALENDER month, your November cash bank will be CREDITED on 28th Dec regardless of your statement date. You just don't get the see the cash back dated 28th Dec in your statement dated 27th Dec, but don't worry, you can always login to your account to view it few days later.
By the way, you can take a pinch of salt on supersound's suggestion to stop using WISE card after 21st. It's absolutely unnecessary. Retail transactions normally gets posted the next day. 3 days before month end should get your last minute WISE card chargers posted in a current month.
The trick of the game is to hit 10 x >RM50 requirement as early as possible, say...before 20th of a calender month, then the remaining balance 7 days of the calender month is for you to max out the RM100 cash back monthly cap. With this strategy, you don't have to worry so much about current month transactions get posted to the following month as the lost is merely not being able to achieve current month maximum cash back quota but you will still be able to get the cash back in the following month quota.
Another trick is that you can start using WISE card on non HLB merchant on the very last day of a calender month for next month cash back quota as the transactions will be posted in the following month. To find out which are the non HLB merchants, check your past statements for the transactions that requires 1 day (next day) posting day.
