I just call CS today, he told me the Supplementary cards will share the 6% CB capped at RM50/Month & 3XPPL access/year with Principal card, both cards are also subject to a minimum of 12 swipes over the preceding 12 months to waive the annual fee.

CS could be wrong too, do you actually have Supplementary cards that didn't share the 6% CB capped at RM50/ month with Principal card? did you request for separate billing?

Thanks for your sharing, I willing to take the trouble to apply a supplementary card for my wife since there is no risk (AF can waived by 12 swipes). & I can cancel it anytime if I found the 6% cash back quota is combined.

Want to report two cases:

1) Book Hotel Thru Agoda with PVS last friday, although I chose pay now, they payment wasn't charged by Agoda, instead, received the sms from the PBB said that XXX Hotel has charge RMXXX, I am not sure whether this has become standard practice but I think I won't able to get 6% cash back from this transaction ~ Sad.

2) Try to pay IWK via postonline with PVS today, found no option for using credit card, does anyone has the experience?

Do you mean we avoid to key in our address when booking therefore Hotel unable to charge us directly?

Below is the reply from Agoda CS, I don't think they entitled for 6% cash back, the problem is we won't know it until we made the booking.


Please be advised that all three bookings above are confirmed under our partner Booking.com whereby payment will be collected by the hotel directly and you will not receive a charge from agoda.com.

Therefore if you would like to request a receipt, you may ask for the receipt from the hotel directly.

Because when I use agoda.com Self Service by logging on to 'manage my bookings' to request "send me receipt", there are no such option in "manage my bookings" , therefore I've to request a receipt from Agoda.com by email. Then they told me ask for the receipt from the hotel directly.

I use Pay now option, as I already knew Pay later option not entitle for CB.

In fact, the Hotel charge my PBVS (amount shown at Agoda + another 6% GST) about 1 hour after the booking made, I was notified this by sms.

Every Agoda booking also need to fill-out the address (the same information) , therefore I really can't tell the different between them, the tips given didn't work for me.

Yes, the transactions already been posted in my PBVS transaction history.

Sorry to confuse you, I mean Hotel has charged my PBVS after booking made, not Agoda.com. And these payment was posted in my PBVS transaction history after 3 days.

Agoda CS reply "payment will be collected by the hotel directly", at first I thought they only bill me after I check out, but i was wrong, they charge me in advance (1 hour after booking made).

Since someone has already said this transaction are not entitled for CB, I will use my CB quota for other payments.

Compare with use other cards which give Agoda discount directly (like 5% discount by using www.agoda.com/aeon), I prefer to use Shopback as it gives up to RM55 Cashback for Bookings more than RM220.

I finally understand what you said, next time we should go for option 2, unless their price different is more than 6%.


Hotel A (Malaysia)

1) Not included in room price: Tax 6% (collected by hotel), Service charge 10.6% (collected by hotel)

2) Not included in room price: Service charge 10%, Hotel tax 6%


Hotel B (Singapore)

1) Not included in room price: Tax 7% (collected by hotel), Service charge 10.7% (collected by hotel)

2) Not included in room price: Service charge 10%, Hotel tax 7%


Hotel C (Malaysia)

1) Not included in room price: Tax 6% (collected by hotel), City tax MYR 3.00 (collected by hotel) ~ I book this one

2) Not included in room price: Hotel tax 6%

The Transaction Description is OLIVE TREE HOTEL BAYAN LEOAS MY; like i said, I won't wait for the answer as I would use the balance quota for other payment which entitled for 6% cb.
