Hi guys, new to Lowyat here. Currently a fresh graduate with monthly income of RM3.5K. Looking to apply for my first credit card to start building up my credit history.

1. Annual Income: RM42K (RM3.5K / month)

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Good to have but not a must if the benefits out-weight the fees.

3. Card required for: Mainly Cash Back/Rebate, Online/offline shopping, Petrol (needed after pandemic, currently WFH), Overseas Transactions (once in a while)

4. Existing credit cards (if any): Nil.

5. Interested in CC from: Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank (other bank recommendations are welcomed)

6. Others: Priority on cash back. Currently looking at Maybank 2 Gold card & Public Bank Quantum cards.

Get PBB Quantum. Depending on your petrol brand, you can use it to but voucher or top up ewallet to pay for petrol

For Insurance Payment, you can look at Affin Duo. This is one of the very very few cards that still gives cashback for insurance payments today.

Get the MBB 2 Card Amex for weekend cash back and make your utility payments through Lazada.

For overseas spending you can consider Ambank Enrich Visa, if you are worried about the annual fee, suggest you go for the Platinum card instead of Infinite.

Aren't MBB 2 Card Amex have updated their weekend cash back, preventing us from using it for utilities

Quoted from MBB website:
Effective 1st June 2019, 5% Cash Back for all purchases (except for government bodies and utilities) on weekends (capped at RM50 per month)

or paying through Lazada bypasses that?
