Open for discussion in order to optimize benefits from ccards
1. Annual Income: RM50~60k (Self Employed and the income going to increase year by year)
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Prioritize free
3. Card required for: Petrol, Insurance, eWallet Top Up
4. Existing credit cards (if any): MBB 2 Cards (Usually only use Amex for the cashback, used to Pay Telekom Bills and Telco), HSBC Amanah (monthly RM2000+ used for insurance and petrol, plan to cancel after they tweaked the benefits), HSBC Signature Visa (going to cancel), SCJOP (monthly RM2500+ used for utilities and insurances), Citi Clear Master and Citi Simplicity Visa (may cancel one and keep another as i have the highest credit limit with Citi), HLEssential (mainly insurances with monthly RM5k++)
5. Interested in CC from: Now aiming PBB Quantum (30 capped cash back), MBB Ikhwan Petronas (Petrol usage with 50 capped), MBB FC Barcelona and Alliance Business Master (2500 capped monthly with 1.25% rebate)
Basically, all these ccards are used when i worked in West Malaysia big construction company when i have annual salary of RM60~70k. After i have started by own business, it seemed all my application rejected except for SCJOP which was approved with min. credit limit. I have combined usage of all these credit cards with bigpay and so far so good. It just that few cards benefits tweaked and i foolishly cancelled HLB Fortune which i believed is the best cash back for high spenders. Please advice or give suggestion on how to get those new cards for my own business benefits. I did know we can pledge FD, but that will be my last resort.
Just for reference, i have some ploans (RM1500 monthly) and a car loan (RM800). As for ccards payment, i clear all monthly, only some months i delayed.
Thanks.
Just for update, i have got my MBB FCB early of this year but Maybank had announced that their rebates will reduce to 1% only after August 2020. So, i think i will cancel it and go for Alliance Business Master (but their entry requirement quite high, so if there's anyone here know the trick, pls do let me know.
) If there's any better cards, please share to me. It seemed like all those good credit cards always been nerfed after few years..my bad.
