1. Annual Income: RM60K to RM70K
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: A Must or if the bank allow to waive yearly after reviewing (if it's really that good CC)
3. Card required for: List all your needs (spending as below)
Petrol - 400 monthly
Insurance - 450 Monthly
Car Maintenance - 1500 yearly
Dining - 300 a month
Utilities - TNB 400 a monthly, UNIFI 300 monthly, Maxis 300 monthly
Groceries on weekend about 200-300 per month.
Required : Looking mainly for Cash Back/Rebate Card
4. Existing credit cards if any: Nil.
5. Looking at CC from: Maybank /CIMB/ Citibank and open to others
Free for life option :
1. MBB Ikhwan - 5% for Petrol and Groceries during Fridays / Saturdays.
2. MBB 2 cards - 5% for Dining on Sat/Sun
Not-so-free option :
1. MBB Visa Signatures ( 70k PA ) - 5% for petrol and groceries all day long. ( Note that AF : 500 is waive-able upon spending of 50k PA. )
2. HLB Wise - Quite hard to explain but can cover most of your needs if you plan your swipes. ( 50 swipes * 10 per month + AF of 180 ( so far not much report of waivers ) ) Please head to the Wise thread for more information.
3. UOB One - 5% petrol on weekends. 2% on weekdays. ( AF free for 1st 2 years, after that it's probably a useless card )
4. UOB Vox - For online utilities payment of your TNB and Unifi ( 5% off )
5. Aeon Watami - 3% quarterly rebate for anything except ( Petrol ).
6. Standard Chartered Cash Back Gold - Tiered Cashback but achieving RM 888 per month would get your an effective 3% CB. There's T&C to this so please head to the SC thread for more info.
Overall -
There's no one card to cover all. You need multiple cards.
1. Aeon Watami to cover for insurance and car maintenance.
2. Groceries/Petrol on MBB Ikhwan / VS
3. Utilities on UOB Vox.
4. Dining on MBB 2 cards if you want.
