1. Annual Income: around RM 80k
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Must
3. Card required for: cash back or high rewards points
4. Existing credit cards if any: M2U Dual Gold, RHB Travel & Evo, OCBC Titanium, AEON NEW Gold
5. Looking at CC from: any
6. Others: Please be specific.: No
just get to know that Maybank dual no longer has 5% weekend cash back which usually i used it for petrol & groceries. RHB cards basically is useless for me which I applied it to get a free luggage few months ago, will cancel it after 9 months. AEON card for any aeon expenses and cash back campaign.
Looking for a good cash back cards that offer good rebates for petrol & shopping, not prefer Wise as it need AF & 10 RM 50 swipes which I don't think I can swipe up so much in a month.
thanks.

After go through few threads including recommendation here. I'm going to apply 2 - 3 cards in the next few months:
My routine spending: Groceries (weekend): 300 - 400 Petrol (weekend): 300 - 400 Utilities (TM unifi, celcom, TNB, Astro): 500 Shopping (Online & Retail): 300
Thinking to get: Maybank IKHWAN for Groceries & Petrol (5% rebate) - including monthly top up touch N go at Jaya grocer CIMB Cash Rebate for Utilities/Shopping (2% rebate)
Will going to cancel RHB Evo & Travel, OCBC Titanium and considering to get HLB Essential for expensive purchasing occasionally such as furniture, electronic kind of stuff.
So if the coming months really follow as planning, the cards I will be holding in future will be: Maybank 2 cards (still keep for 5x rewards & 5% dining) CIMB Cash Rebates Maybank IKHWAN
Would like to ask the above planning looks alright for my spending? Any great cards recommended to add-on?

QUOTE(rapple @ Oct 26 2015, 05:14 PM) HLB Wise Card and Aeon Watami? Ikhwan as back up card to Petrol/Groceries. Thanks for your suggestion, will look into WISE card and re-calculate my spending if can beneficial from the 10% cash back. For AEON WATAMI the quarterly 3% cash back only apply to retail transaction right? If so besides petrol/groceries (which will use ikhwan for 5% weekend), all the utilities bill I've made through auto-debit or internet payment. Don't think my other expenses besides petrol/groceries/utilies can hit RM1k/month.

1. Annual Income: RM60K to RM100K
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: No (if rebate worth for the annual fees)
3. Card required for:
- Petrol (300/month) - Maybank Ikhwan (Friday/Saturday) / AEON Big (Sunday) - Groceries (400/month) - Maybank Ikhwan - Insurance (600/month) - - CIMB Cash Rebate - Utilities - Unifi, TNB, Astro (600/month) - CIMB Cash Rebate - Mobile (85/month) - CIMB Cash Rebate - Online Shopping (200/month) - CIMB Cash Rebate - Others (500/month) - CIMB Cash Rebate
4. Existing credit cards if any: - Maybank Ikhwan Mastercard - NEW AEON Gold - AEON Watami (replace by AEON Big soon) - CIMB Cash Rebate - Maybank2Card - OCBC Titanium
5. Looking at CC from: Any cash rebate card other than currently holding
6. Others: since AEON watami is discontinued I have to switch my monthly expenses over for more cash rebate, looking for any cards that can benefit more on Insurance/Utilities spending. Just apply for HLB Wise & Essential last week but get rejected, was thinking to use HLB Wise mainly for Petrol & Groceries, then Essential for Insurance and others. Now I have no idea which card to replace it.
