Hi all, I've a question. If my statement date is 28..and I use the credit card on 28, does the transaction count in this month's billing or next month?

What's the best way to get cashback or rebates for a 5k purchase from Shopee? I currently have PBB Islamic Platinum, Maybank Amex, Affinbank Duo and Duo+...was thinking either Amex on weekend or Duo but Duo macam no rebate for payment over 250 IINM hmm..

there are few other amex variations from Maybank including standalone amex and amex charge cards too. you should inform us clearly which one you're using.

easiest is to tell from m2u portal. what card name listed there.

even affin you got duo and duo+. but you said duo macam got no cb for >250. <---- you don't know the card's feature meh?

Don't recall if over 250 has cashback or not. I believe it's a no but just want to double confirm here.

for me, I'd use maybank2card amex on weekends

1) use spaylater 6mth @ 0% fee (I think got promo now for 1,3,6 installments)

2) spaylater repayments are fixed to 10th each month.

3) plan repayments on weekends before/on the 10th.

at least you can secure m2c amex cb for 6 months.

Just check only 1 month Spaylater has 0% fee.. If I do monthly installment then don't get the cashback right?

If it's Amex Ikhwan, wait for March can get RM100 CB biggrin.gif

Oh.. Mine is not Ikhwan.

QUOTE(erry- @ Feb 18 2024, 10:30 PM)
yes for 2&3. Example hlb wise, u can straight topup ewallet 500 on weekend, so u hit the min spend requirement to get 8%, but max cashback is just rm15 (assume u didnt spend on other categories)

u mentioned from shopee, which is ONLINE, not swipe. So its 3% max either rm30 or rm50, based on previous statement balance. while pbe-i max just rm30 and amex 2 card rm50.

Ya.. If just one month probably the Amex gives the best rebate.

shopee installment can get cashback for pbe-i thumbup.gif

while for pbe VS, min monthly must >100. Example 1200 installment for 6 months, monthly will be 200 and will get 3% cashback for 6 months notworthy.gif

mathematically, topup shopeepay using pbe-i and affin will get u rm30 + rm30 or rm50 so total will be rm60 or rm80, which is higher than amex rm50. but shopeepay max topup is rm4999 so if u want to pay rm5k item then cannot use it, unless got voucher that can reduced total to be below rm4999
*
The item after discounted also over 5k so I guess the second method is not suitable for me.

For PBB VS that's if monthly installment also can get cashback? I remembered the card has been revised before so I only use it for dining only.

So if let's say 5k and installment for 6 months for online items FROM Shopee.. I still get 3% for 6 months? So this should be the best option?

Oh, one more thing...if purchase online over 250 using Affin Duo can still get cashback? Or only for transactions below 250?

I think safer to use PBB Visa Signature to get the cashback?

Quick question. If I reload TNG via Aeon credit card or any credit card.. And then I pay it the next day, do I still get the cashback month end?

Yes. You did spend and whenever you wanna pay back has nothing to do with the credit cards' benefits.

Because you already have a credit facility from Maybank (Conventional banking).
So Maybank Islamic don't give you a new credit facility for Islamic CC.

But you may convert the existing credit line from Conventional to Islamic.
The conversion form and checklist can be found at www.maybank2u.com

Ohhhh is that how it works?? I ingat can get both...

Can get both. Just submit a physical application as online application has higher tendency to get rejected.

Request Card Centre to convert part of your conventional credit line to Islamic then you can have both.
Eg existing CL (Conventional): RM50000
Request CL (Conventional) RM30000 + CL (Islamic) RM20000.

Need to go card center personally or can do via phone? Oh I think I did this before 10 years back...I forgot this step already

Ya, that's the same thing that ClarenceT adviced earlier. I've dropped an email to MBB card services and requested them to convert half of my limit to Islamic..let's see what is their reply.

Yes, but not for bill payments via M2U, where you won't get cash back. However, if you pay using individual apps like UniFi, Maxis, U Mobile, Astro, etc., you will get cash back.
Pay directly to Shopee or ShopeePayLater can get cash back, but not reload ShopeePay.

Can get cash back everyday unlike M2Cards only on weekends.

Ahhh that's good! Thanks!
