ahh it seems that barcelona card is the best card lo.. wanted to apply the gold 2 amex but now like so many restriction..
so 2% for anything except gov body utilities right?
Its really depend how you utilise the card. The perk of Barcelona card is you can easily swipe the card without the need to remember whether is weekend or not for cashback. And also the month of May & August will have higher cashback capped at Rm100.
BUT, you need to spend Rm2500 only can fully utilise the full amount cashback amount (RM50) and Spend
Rm1000 to get Rm100 cashback in May & August.
So compare to M2Gold, you only need to spend Rm1000 to reach Rm50 cashback on weekend. So, break it down and ask yourself, how much will you spend using the credit card. You can easily hit Rm1000 on weekend with M2Gold on petrol, Aeon mall, tesco, Jaya grocery, watson, guardian, mcdonalds, pizza hut, KFC, Family Mart so and so. When I fully spending Rm1000 for cashback on weekend, I can also continue to use the card on weekday to collect TP to offset the SST annually.
But if you are not into petrol, or buying grocery and frequently eat out at restaurant which accept amex, best you choose Barcelona VS for online transaction like lazada, shoope etc etc.. So, its really depend on your lifestyle and pick the best card that suit you spending habit.
Best is you can get Barcelona VS + M2Gold for everyday spend. The goal is to get Rm50 cashback using either M2Gold or Barcelona VS. If I only allow to choose 1, i will pick M2Gold as it allow me to hit Rm50 cashback with lesser money spend using the card.
