QUOTE(CardNoob @ Jul 23 2019, 03:28 PM) Are you planning to buy insurance or wealth management products with SCB? Otherwise, you'll be getting 4% pa only. When I opened the Privileged Savers account with SCB, I immediately bought a Insurance Savings plan worth about RM 1K monthly and use the SCB CC to auto-debit monthly the premiums. Settle 2 conditions at one go.

QUOTE(CardNoob @ Aug 14 2019, 08:09 PM) HNWI? Not in my books! Anyways, I usually do not prefer "short term" 6-months FD rates then reverting back to board rates. Also the 70:30 ratio effectively lowers the advertised 4.7% FD rates. If i read correctly using the assumption of 100K 70K @ 4.7% 30K @ 0.5% After 6 months total Interests earned is 1,720/100,000 = 3.44%, no?

QUOTE(mamamia @ Aug 14 2019, 08:24 PM) If u put 30k to PSA, u will earn 4% or up to 6% Yes, which is why I am not much of this kind of promo. Last I took advantage was the OCBC 4.2% FD for 12-months with no other conditions except fresh funds.

QUOTE(CardNoob @ Aug 14 2019, 08:30 PM) If you're not HWNI, how you can commit into an Insurance Savings plan worth about RM 1K monthly. That translates to RM 12k per year right? If one is diligent/discipline enough, saving 15-20% of one's income is doable. When I auto-debit it using my CC it is also a form of "forced savings/commitment". I can assure you that I am not a HNWI!

QUOTE(CardNoob @ Aug 14 2019, 08:44 PM) Interesting, what is the tenure you need to commit for that particular insurance saving plan? INM should be a 5Y plan. Not expecting much from this plan though, maybe slightly above FD rates will do for me. Main objective is to utilize the Spend 1K element of PSA. Instead of "spending" on wants, might as well "invest" it.

QUOTE(mamamia @ Aug 14 2019, 09:19 PM) U mean u r not getting 6% every month? Min. 3k deposit & 1k card spending. Then you get 0.5% board rate + 2% bonus rate (deposit) + 1.5% bonus rate (card spending) + wealth investment of 2% No, I am getting 6% on my PSA DAB. What I was referring was the Insurance Savings Plan that I took up with SCB (under Prudential) as their 3rd element, invest and insure/cover. That also will have a return (as usual projected at 8%, their favorite number  ).

QUOTE(Daveliew @ Aug 15 2019, 08:35 AM) Hi Sifus! I had just opened a OCBC 360 Account. I noticed that it is written there that every month cut off is on the 14th/15th. Does it mean if I wish to get the full benefit, I would 1)Bank in Rm500 2)Transfer to another account 3)Spend Rm500 on the 15th? As it is considered as a new month? Transferring to another bank account does not fulfill either the Bill Payment or Spend with DC/CC. Make use of SI in order to qualify all the 2 criteria except the DC/CC spend.
