What kind of strategy? Please share here. Thanks!

Redeem your TP for AeonBig's gift card for rm105, then only shop on 28th each month and buy only stuffs that are doing heavy promo thumbup.gif

Yeah, there is an intensive discussion on this thread a few page back.

Still, I would like to know which card other people have finally chosen, particularly for the bill payment for internet and mobile phone. Not everyone has an annual income of RM 100k and is eligible for PBB VS.

If your pay are at rm60-80k, can always opt for HLB's STUPID card, can use to pay mobile, petrol. Still no direct bill payment if you want to get 8% of cash back. Lots of condition to be met. But I may choose groceries and use this as a tool to make some money buying buying 2KG Milo at <rm32 and sell it at rm32.50.

Other cards might be able to give cashback too, but the appeal of the M2 Amex was that it's very simple. All transactions on weekends. That's it. We just need to find merchants who accept Amex. Sigh. (Damn this is akin to a terrible breakup! biggrin.gif )
*
For most of the time, I'm using AMEX to pay utility bills. Even help paying other people's bills. And I get cash for this(5% and TP I keep). Then only I spend on other places. Those were the days sweat.gif

This thread is for you: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3644347
If your income is RM 100k and above then MBB VS and PBB VS will save most of your common troubles like petrol, dining, groceries and online bills.

If your income is lower than RM 100k, then hmm.gif Few cards to apply and you can start playing jigsaw puzzles to mix and match with your spending.
*
Correction, if local spending, PBB's VS are better since MBB's TP are only 1X.

Not really.

PBB VS - 12 swipes a year
MBB VS - 50K a year
*
Maybe you are right, but if were to get maximum cash back from PBB's VS, then you are wrong.
But yeap, not rm100k and I need to spend rm60000 at least. So with this, getting lower standard MBB cards will be better.

PBB VS can be easily waived with 12 swipes.

MBB VS, take first and worry after a year later. laugh.gif

Usually I quite reluctant to apply a card and need to worry too much whistling.gif

Well, you should think of this way. In one year, anything can happen, who knows there is a better card will appear in one year time? smile.gif

Indeed anything can happen, but I'm expecting more banks will join OCBC and MBB on slashing benefits shakehead.gif
For the time being, MBB's dualcard is still worth to keep, until they revise the TPs again.

Then, it even makes more sense to use first and worry later. tongue.gif

Just joking, everyone has different thought. biggrin.gif

My TNB bills already rm700 overpaid shocking.gif
Monthly average only rm50-70 doh.gif
Not to mention TM bill also the same laugh.gif
If just for the sake on getting cash back have to spend more, it is not that good in the long run.
That's why with PBB's VS just need to spend rm833 a month, it would be better for me, keeping my finger crossed until I got it.

I have only overpaid for my UniFi, I should be able to use it for few months while hoping my UOB VOX could be approved for my UniFi payment since it takes up quite a big chunk of my expenses every month.

Few months still ok to go with, but not until 10 months like me shocking.gif
