Do note that PBB CR for online covers all online transactions (including utility/broadband payments made online on the service provider's website)..

CIMB CR doesn't give CB for these payments unless you use Shopee..

I have both PBB VS & CIMB CR.. I'll use CIMB CR for 11Street, Lazada purchases and keep my PBB CR for bill payment, dining, groceries..

Should be ok.. don't think it needs to be a dedicated personnel.. 2 years ago I sent mine to pbcs_online@publicbank.com.my and custsvc@publicbank.com.my, and managed to get my card & supp card approved..

I was wondering as well, but didn't see any replies to your post..

I just paid 8x RM50 via TIME Selfcare Portal.. Will need to wait until Week 7 is awarded before can confirm..

I would follow your suspicion as well. Cafe's are normally a hit and miss, and you can see from the first page that Starbucks is also not entitled.. I've had some cafe's I've visited that are not considered as dining as well.

For #2, should be no CB, right? Transactions via pbebank.com are excluded for CB?

That's because PB Visa Gold CC only gives 0.2% cash back.

Lazada still a hit and miss. My latest statement just came out and I got correct CB for Lazada transaction

Description states "Lazada KUALA LUMPUR MY", and I'm using PBB VS.

I haven't been buying from Lazada since the issues surfaced.. Only recently bought something.. Prior to that, was always able to get CB..

And I wasn't aware the issue only impacted Quantum and not VS.. My bad.. Downside of having a consolidated thread for VS & Quantum.. People just mention having issues with CB, but don't really mention if it's Quantum or VS so I thought it impacted both.. Must read the thread more carefully then..

I think it depends on the type of Savings Account.. If you open an Basic Savings Account, Debit Card should be free.. but there could be other limitations, e.g. maximum 4 ATM withdrawals, fees for over the counter transactions.. different banks might have different conditions..

I have 4 Savings accounts with Debit Cards, and all of them don't have annual fee..

PBB Basic Savings Account

Just open a basic savings account.. minimum balance to keep in the account is RM 20, and no annual fee for debit card..

Ya.. that would apply for normal savings account.. according to BNM regulation, every bank will now need to offer a basic savings account.. these will not have annual fee for the debit card, but have other limitations, like a maximum number of free ATM withdrawals per month, or that over the counter transactions will be charged.. I have 4 savings accounts with different banks, and have never been charged for the debit cards..
