just called up UOB CS to verify my April transactions' Merchant Codes.
I paid MBPJ via UOBPayOnline and for that transaction I was informed the code is 4814 (in my statement, it shows 'Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya'.
Did a search - it shows 'Telecommunication Services'. Not sure if it will fall under Online category.
If it is online, then I would have busted by RM50 allocation for April. Will have to wait till end May to reconfirm this.
"online" is the mode of transaction, NOT the MCC for the transaction.
most cashback rules based on few logics:
1) mode of transaction
2) MCC
3) description
most of the eligible transactions under "Online" is because uob detected it as online/CNP and nothing further to filter.
for other instances, even if you pay TNB/TM at uobpayonline, it is detected as "online" but it also excluded them based on description too.
so far, uob havent excludedthose with "majlis *" descriptions, hence very likely your MBPJ @ uobpayonline already is under "Online" category.
