QUOTE(hitch80 @ Apr 30 2018, 02:38 PM) no rush, if you don't spend a lot in a month also, this is very good time to focus on using only this 1 card at least for this month, and later august. other than these 2 months, you may want to diversify your spending depending on which card give better cashback depending on your spending category. and better not swipe the card like 3-4 days before end of the month just to avoid transaction got posted on the next month To avoid late posting... can use M2U bill payment - Telekom/TNB for immediate posting. Even top up BigPay card will be posted on the same day.

QUOTE(David83 @ May 1 2018, 10:42 AM) Please be careful with time zone. Especially if merchant payment process resides at US. Not an issue. Even at different time zone, it should be posted in May or beyond May (late posting). Not possible to post on the same day (30/4) already. This post has been edited by ClarenceT: May 1 2018, 11:22 AM

QUOTE(MGM @ May 1 2018, 11:31 AM) At this moment, local time in LA, USA is 8.30pm 30April2018. 10% May cashback is based on posting date. (not like M2 Amex - weekend) Maybank posting 30/4 already over. Usually international posting will take 2-3 days. Also April 2% cashback already calculated on 30/4 and posted on 1/5. (will see it tomorrow) This post has been edited by ClarenceT: May 1 2018, 11:38 AM

QUOTE(raul88 @ May 1 2018, 02:57 PM) this month time to keep amex in drawer and use fcb only 1/6 take out amex again Only true if your spending is up to RM1000 only for this month. Otherwise you should use M2 Amex on weekends and use FCB VS at the places not accepting Amex. Spend on tuition fee, government bills, insurance, car services!

QUOTE(skty @ May 2 2018, 08:48 PM) The T&C write retail transaction. Not sure whether online payment for tax is consider as "retail" or not.  Use M2 Amex to pay on Sat/Sun, 5% rebate, may win a prize as well. Use FCB VS on something else.

QUOTE(stargate8 @ May 4 2018, 02:57 PM) ya, thats why next time i better not to spend on 30th of the month, better give 2 or 3 days for tranx to be posted in the same month. the amount 58.70 was posted on 2nd may, new m2u site shows tranx date [attachmentid=9777718] Ya new M2U interface doesn't show posting dates. Your Lazada transaction refund (RM27.20) posted in May, not sure if this credit will be part of 10% rebate calculation or reversal of 2% rebate. You may have to spend RM1027.20 (including RM58.70) in May to get RM100 rebate. FYI, topup BigPay will be posted on the same day, so I top up bigpay on the last 2 days of the month and then use BigPay Mastercard for other transactions.

Don't rush to spend on GST taxable items in the month of May. Spend on zero-rated items!

You are privileged to buy and enjoy this 5 star services created for premium card holders. Eg special travel arrangements, cut queue at immigration etc. Go to Visa website for info and charges.

QUOTE(qqbill @ Jul 2 2018, 02:32 PM) Around 6 or 7 of the month. Not crossing month. 🧐 Not by instalment? Don't mind to share the transaction date, the posting date, and transaction description .

QUOTE(MGM @ Jul 5 2018, 06:24 PM) Even if BigPay topup is done few seconds b4 1-Jun or 1-Sept?  Forget the bigpay and Maybank merchants (Petronas, Aeon, Parkson etc), where the transactions will be posted on the same day. Find the places where you can swipe RM500 (total) on 31/8/18 but to be posted on 1/9 or 2/9, you may get Max RM50 Sept Cashback. No need to spend RM2500 in Sept.

(Assuming no transaction in May, and the cashback % is based on Apr = 2%) Reported in early May in this thread. 2% only but not sure RM50/RM100 for RM5000.
