It requires 8 RM 50 swipe right?

Online transaction valid also?
*
Correction: 10x RM50
Yes, online transactions also contribute into the 10x swipes, as long as it exceeds RM49.99.

instead, maybe can purchase aeon voucher using your ikhwan for 5% instead of using aeon gold.
*
I have been doing that all the while, buy aeon vouchers on Sat then use it on Sun. Only do this if you are sure that the terminal they use is under Supermarket and not Departmental.

Correct, can double check the MCC at the MCC thread.

Something just came across my mind, if shop at Aeon/Aeon Big, might as well use New Aeon/Aeon Big card respectively, then use PBB Vs/UOB Vox/CIMB Cr to pay back via Posonline, the effective cashback might be more than Ikhwan 5%. Also save the hassle of just going there to buy vouchers/gift cards.

bro fly126, still undecided on which to take

HL Bank Essential credit card or alliance unique credit card?

How much do you spend every month? Do some calculation first, if effective rebate >0.6% then choose You:nique, if <0.6% choose HLB Essential.

HLB Wise is great. but any 2nd card can recommend for higher cap/month. my monthly bill rm 4500, use hlb wise pay tnb rm50x10 time= rm500, still have rm4000 left. please... online search a lot but dont know which is suitable. how about CIMB Cash Rebate Platinum MasterCard?
*
Perhaps a 2nd Wise card from spouse/family members? Also, you only pay RM500 using Wise? What about the rest RM500? For other categories?

Thanks for reply.
I pay rm50x20time get  max cap rm100(10%), still left rm3500 to earn more cash rebate. U are right, maybe can apply another 3 or more card for hlb wise. Haaaa

I also looking for higher rebate cc for online purchase. Any suggestions?
*
PBB VS (6%) if your annual income is RM100,000, else UOB Vox (5.3%) or CIMB Cash Rebate Plat (5%).

urm, for petrol cash back i have my citibank  to cover for it. my purpose for this card is sometimes i would use a big sum to purchase something but not very often. for example... thinking of getting a proposal ring with this new card. so thinking which cashback rebate is better for it.
*
For me I chose SCB Cashback Gold. You may check it out here: https://www.sc.com/my/credit-cards/goldcard/gold-card.html

even if check on the website, is stated for all retail spending only. no insurance n petrol is mentioned on it.
*
Unlike SBC Gold, Younique doesnt restrict any transaction. Understand this, petrol and insurance are also considered as retail transactions unless bank specifically exclude them.

If that's the case is PTPTN loan repayment counted as retail transaction too?  hmm.gif

Yes, just like sis fly126 said, any goods or services charged to the card is considered as retail transaction. Charges like late payment, annual fee, balance transfer are not retail.

if use debit
the petrol on hold me rm 200
pbb debit card on hold me rm 400 haven return me yet

*
You can preset the amount that you want to pump before inserting your card. That way it won't block RM200 to your card.

To all sifu out there.

I wanna check. I'm holding Maybank dual card, HL Wise and AEON Watami. And I'm loving it. but then Watami is history now.

What is the next good credit card for cash back on big amount transaction? (e.g: Annual Insurance premium etc.) - Watami served me well for the past 1 year plus. Now looking for alternative for it.

Thanks in advance.

1. Annual Income: RM60K to RM100K

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Both ok.

3. Card required for:
Cash Back (YEAH!!!)

4. Existing credit cards if any:
HL Wise, MBB Dual, AEON Watami

5. Looking at CC from: No preference.

Since mainly general expenses,

1. AEON Big Gold
2. UOB VOX
3. MBB Ikhwan Master
*
Do you think UOB Vox is suitable? He didnt even mention anything on online transactions.

If general expenses, SCB Gold, OCBC 365, HLB Fortune, HLB Essential are better choices.

sorry but what is pledging FD?
*
QUOTE(cybpsych @ Jun 24 2016, 04:31 PM)
put money into FD (fixed deposit) and used as collateral ("pledging") to apply credit card.

this method is not recommended:

1) you need substantial amount of money for FD placement, usually min RM10k
2) e.g. RM10k FD cannot be used in case of emergency.
3) remove the FD, card is canceled.
*
If you really want the card and cant seems to get it, this is the last resort.

For HLB Wise, the minimum FD placement is 3K only. Not sure about Mach though.

Try Aeon Credit Card, especially if you purchase groceries from Aeon. 2% rebate for online if not mistaken.
*
2% online rebate is Aeon Big Visa. Aeon Credit card doesnt have any online rebate.

QUOTE(jocelyn617 @ Jul 11 2016, 12:50 PM)
UOB One Visa card, 5% rebate for petrol on weekends, another 3% if BHP.
Online shopping can use OCBC Blue/Pink Mastercard 1% rebate

Good to have one Visa one Master, in case the system is down etc.
*
UOB One Visa gives 5% petrol rebate on weekend, 2% on weekdays, additional 2% smart$ everyday.
