1. Annual Income: > RM78K ++

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Waived / As long as not too expensive

3. Card required for: Retail spend (Petrol/Grocery/Dining etc...), Online spend (Food Panda / Parking Fee / Shopee / Lazada), Utilities, Insurance, and e-Wallet

4. Existing credit cards (if any): PBB Quantum Visa&Master

5. Interested in CC from: Any

6. Others: Been using PBB cards for quite a long time .... even after the revised benefit. Was thinking of getting newer cashback cards that can be replaced or cover the missing area (Utilities/e-wallet).

Currently looking at HSBC MPower, Citi Cashback (Application Rejected) , Affin DUO Visa, but hoping for more recommendation.

Thanks to all Sifu-s in advance.

Wondering any good CC in 2024. I’m open to any suggestions.

1. Annual Income: RM100K

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: waivable or not too expensive

3. Card required for:
Cashback/rebate
Petronas (<250/month)
Insurance payments - 250/month
Retail (as a backup to Amex)

Or
Good reward points redemption (best if can convert to cash voucher)

4. Existing credit cards (if any):
MBB 2 Plat cash rebate platinum (visa and Amex)
HSBC Plat Visa (currently using, but rewards seem like not attractive )
PBB Quantum (feel like throwing away these 2 cards…)

5. Interested in CC from: Maybank Visa Sig, UOB One Classic, HSBC MPower , open to other suggestions

6. Others: thank you

Affin duo visa (don't activate the MasterCard) can be used to get cashback from insurance. Not much better than nothing. Maybank Petronas card I think 8% cashback on petrol?

Public bank always have promo. Look out it. Might be worth keeping.

Thanks for the advice ! Let me take a look at Affin Duo and Maybank Petronas. For Maybank 2 Card , they still charge me RM 25* 2 cards even though I never activate another card 🥲 having bad experience with PBB app

Seriously, no. Not without other level of complexity involved. Amex is straightforward in a sense. As long as it is accepted. If you have been using it for years, you would start to build muscle memory of where can accept amex and where cannot.

Some popular consideration will be uob one card, affin duo, public islamic visa.

But depends on your spending criteria.
Yes. You should expect to pay rm25 for every card you have. It will be a bonus if you manage to escape.

Is anyone using HSBC MPower for the cashback? It seems like they accept touch n go reload as part of the RM2000 minimum spend criteria?

Also, any good visa signature card out there? Was looking at Maybank VS and HSBC VS.
Can anyone recommend “OK” travel/miles/lounge card? Although I’m not a frequent flyer, could be just once or twice a year.

Hi,
need advice, on increasing my credit card limit. currently holding maybank 2 card. (previously tried increasing limit, but doesnt seem to get through)
should i pledge with FD, or get new card from other bank

Would like to apply for additional card with higher limit, maybe 50k, 70k or 100k.

just for occasional spending on lux goods (during special occasion)

please give me good suggestion
- doesnt really travel much, maybe once or max, twice a year. too busy with work, so not sure whatever these lounge access etc... worth the hidden/fee
- is the reward pts worth it? how much is the annual charge?
