Some good ones at ringgitplus, but it is a 3rd party.

Ringgitplus signup offers can stack with the credit card company's own sign-up offers?

Hello, I am planning to get my 2nd Credit Card, 1st Credit card was 4 year ago with Aeon Credit with negative experiences, as they doesn't want to waive off the annual fees

1. Annual Income: RM36K - RM40K

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Must / Waivable

3. Card required for: Petrol, Transport (Grab, Bus Ticket, Train Ticket), Utilities (Time Fibre, TNB), Online digital product (Steam, Epic Store), Online shopping (Shopee, Lazada), Offline Shopping (groceries, Aeon, Tesco, electronic device etc), F&B (Mamak, Foodpanda, Airasia), Car Loan (if possible). Should be spending around RM1000-2000 for all these.

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

5. Interested in CC from: Citibank Cash Back Card, Standard Charted SIMPLY CASH CREDIT CARD
*
I suggest combo two cards:

1. Citibank Cashback Mastercard
2. HLB Wise Visa

You should be able to earn up to RM100 cashback with very achievable spending threshold.

RHB-Shell Visa.
Monthly spend > RM800 to get CB, best if you can spend >RM2500.

Not recommended if cannot consistently meet rm2.5k threshold, and drive not enough to make use of Shell cashback.

Thanks.

What is cardup?

For your use case I suggest go with Citibank Cashback + HLB Wise. If you can hit rm1.5k spend then maybe get a UOB One card as well. Between the three you should be able to easily get rm100 cashback per month based on your category listing.

Citi cashback (non platinum). Use it for your dining (RM10 cashback), groceries (Rm10 cashback) and petrol (RM10 cashback). Even if you don't get grab cashback, that's still RM30 cashback a month (make sure to hit the RM500 minimum spend. Also your sign up bonuses for citi are normally quite attractive.

Or since they're getting acquired by UOB you can direct go to UOB One. I would go for Citi first though, eventually UOB will merge the card to UOB One I think.

The Citibank "grocery" list doesn't include Speedmart etc. Very restrictive list. I'd rather advice to get the HLB Wise Visa. He should be able to max out the RM60 by planning around the weekend spend.

If you're looking for cashback:

Mobile/internet, petrol - Amex 2 cards gold/plat, pay on weekends for CB,
TNG + most autobilling - Affin Duo Visa, put the leftovers in BigPay
Both cards can be maxed out at RM1k/month each. Keep the non-Amex Maybank card + the Affin Mastercard in a drawer as both are useless.

Will the non Amex Maybank card be charged with SST?

With the new changes coming soon for RHB Shell, what are the good credit cards for e-wallet reload? I already have the following:

HL Wise
Affin Duo+
PBB Islamic Platinum

Why PB Islamic Platinum, as opposed to PB Visa Signature? It's RM15 vs RM30 cashback

It looks like all cards are getting nerfed.

My go-to was:

1. RHB Shell Visa - RM100
2. HLB Wise - RM55
3. Maybank Ikhwan Amex - RM50

Can easily get RM200 cashback per month.

My spending is "real", no e-wallet filler. But I do use Spaylater to maximize cashback for most groceries/dining spend.

Spend around RM4k per month across groceries, insurance, condo maintenance, petrol, Shopee/Lazada, dining and misc retail spending.

What's the best card to replace the RHB Shell Visa?

I've been seriously considering UOB One Platinum, however their groceries cashback is limited to selected merchants that I do not shop at. Also I don't use Grab/Grabpay at the moment.
