1. Annual Income: ~RM 60k

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Yes

3. Card required for: Petrol and/or Restaurant and/or Shopping. (Prefer Cash rebate)

4. Existing credit cards if any: Maybank2Card (lower point convert rate now + 5% cash back will only be applicable for dinning soon >.<)

1. Annual Income: RM 32k

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Yes

3. Card required for: Petrol, shopping, bills, online shopping

4. Existing credit cards if any: No

5. Looking at CC from: CIMB Cash Rebate Gold MasterCard

Cash back or rewards point, which one more rewarding?
my total spending for shopping, bills, petrol for 1 month usually less than 1K only
is it possible to collect points from car loan payment?
*
Cash back would be better at lower income level.

Points hardly can redeem anything unless you are a high spender.

For petrol, 2%. For online, 5%. Bills only apply to standing instruction.

i google a bit about standing instruction: https://ringgitplus.com/en/blog/Banking-Bas...nstruction.html
so the amount has to be fixed n oso have to pay some fee for it?

You can sign up for auto-billing.

That would be considered as a standing instruction, IIRC.

HLB Wise.

But annual fees are a little hard to waive.

UOB ONE also can try. 2 years free, at least.

4. Looking at CC from: CIMB rebate/UOB Vox/etc..

CIMB CB / UOB Vox is good.

If you are a heavy user, CIMB supplementary card's CB is separate from the main card.

You could use it to get more CB compared to Vox in that sense.

That's if my memory served me well.

Side note : CIMB are known for cross border charges. sweat.gif

Thanks. Both also capped at RM50 right?correct me if I am wrong.
*
Both capped at 50 = Yes

But as for Cimb, the cash back for your supplementary cards are seperate from your principal card.

Thus theoretically, you could get more cashback if you split your transaction over 2 supplementary card with Cimb rather than just flat RM 50 with UOB Vox.

And the Vox have a monthly fee, if you don't swipe it at least once a month laugh.gif

I think HLB wise. Apply the gold one. Lower Annual fees and same cash back when compare to platinum. Annual fees only RM160 if you can get cashback of RM100/month, even with annual fees, you get about 8% cash back.

Prefer Islamic.

Obviously it's Ikhwan gold already.

But with 36k per annum, apply both lo.

How much are you expecting? Most of the banks give RM 50. sweat.gif That's also most of the banks are revising the benefits, enjoy while you can.

Else you can see HLB Wise but you will need to swipe RM 50 x 10 to activate cash back.

Maybe he wants unlimited CB?

Something like no cap?

I think VS's cap for MBB is one of the highest one out there d.

TM / Astro / Maxis (not sure thou) = UOB Vox

Hotel = CIMB for promotions, or else can get Aeon Watami if you can stack up to 3k for 3 month

Maxis = HLB Wise, if you are disciplined enough

Insurance = Lump it to Aeon Watami as well.

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: prefer free, or auto waiver with easy condition

3. Card required for: Petrol, gorcery, random purchases (dining, airlines, hotel)

4. Existing credit cards if any: MBB2card, OCBC blue card

5. Looking at CC from: AEON gold (not sure if AF is waivable), CIMB cash rebate (rejected me twice before getting OCBC)

6. Others: As my income not enough 36K, i believe only can hold 2 cards. Not sure which card to cut though if i change card.

Current spending on:

MBB : ~500 /mo
OCBC: ~ 300 /mo

Even if you cut, might take some time for the banks to update your central database record.

personally, ocbc quite useless for me so I'd choose to cut that laugh.gif

Convert your maybank to Ikhwan for petrol + groceries and go get cimb if possible.

Just went to maybank to convert, but they don't let me to cause im having IPP in my MBB

Just check, my OCBC is GE, not blue card. But still.... don't know why just feel that CIMB is damn hard to apply for the cash rebate card
*
I thought once you opt to convert, all your EPP will be terminated ( early settlement and transferred to your new card).

Unless it's EPP done via Merchant, which I have no experience in early settlement.

And CIMB that CR card, I got approved for it using my 1st employment income, which is barely exceeding the 24k PA barrier.

Surely there are other factors which caused your applications to be rejected.

For alternative, try UOB Vox.

Petrol - Ikhwan MBB

Online - UOB Vox or CIMB CR

Dining - HLB Mach/Wise or MBB Amex

Insurance - Lump to Aeon Watami if huge amount

Broadband / postpaid - HLB wise if you plan to mix it up with dining and etc.

Or you can get a MBB VS for higher capping of petrol and PBB Vs for online. Best combo already.

Both can be obtained via FD if you are interested.

If you can show proof of your 20k rental income, bank might consider.

Some "genius" banks don't, in my experience.

You'll need to deposit at least 37k of FD with PBB to get this card.

You'll only need 20k with MBB.

Wow, so much hassle just to get the card... I think the interest losses maybe even higher than the cash rebate earn.. hmm.gif

This PBB VS, it's better to apply with income than with FD.

MBB VS/VI one, FD damn easy + no stamping fees of any sort.

Just some paperwork and sign.

Next day can get the card already.

Or in my case, got delivered straight to my office.

1. HLB Wise gives 10% of cash back if you select groceries category, all days. AmEx Plat is not Treat Points (TP) but Membership Reward (MR).
2. Plenty of cards give premium lounge, to name some Aeon Gold (36k per annum income requirement), RHB Plat, AmBank Plat (60k per annum income requirement). I'm having Aeon Gold and AmBank Plat, I used to have RHB Plat but I see no purpose of it and I have terminated it. Aeon Gold's AF can be waived with 12x swipes per year, AmBank Plat is free for life, no AF. RHB Plat needs to spend 36k per year to waive AF but can be easily waived, when I requested to terminate it, they tried to retain me with 2 years free without paying any AF.

My question is, with 58k annual income requirement, Maybank allows you to apply for Plat level? They are kinda petty about this. smile.gif
*
Sometimes, sales agent try to ask them to apply for the card if they are very close to the requirement.

If salary credited to MBB and a good history, sometimes, they might overlook the 1~2k and consider issuing the card.

Should mentioned that HLB comes with T&C, at least he will know what he signed up for.

QUOTE(jenli_84 @ Sep 8 2015, 05:34 PM)
opps....i forgot is membership points. I try go and ask if i can cancel that tomorrow.

Not much difference, really.

HLB wise have so much frills to utilize it, I gave up using it.

Need to plan your spending to the dot.
