Hi all,

For Travel Platinum Mastercard, does anyone know whether

1. Paying for petrol at petrol station.
2. Paying for assessment tax at municipal office, or quit rent at land office.

Count as spending towards the RM 3000 retail spend Condition to qualify for the PPL access and Grab vouchers?

Reason I'm asking is, these are excluded from the bonus reward points, but I'm not sure if they're included in the spend condition for PPL and Grab.

The terms and conditions for the airport lounge access never mentioned any exclusion, but they have mentioned a retail spend of RM3000 to qualify.

Thanx.

Hi

Want to seek advices

I purchased SIA flight ticket use my TWE card @ RM508 - is show in the flight ticket receipt and when i got SMS for payment, it is stated that I had spend RM508


But recently, i noticed that CIMB charge me RM513 in the statement... called them and they say is due to additional 1% charge from mastercard...

Can they do that?

Yes correct.
+1% Cross Border Fee for CIMB CC.
(You swipe at a foreign site, even though in RM)

yup. search already. dont have.
petronas counter small small petrol station donno consider or not

key words they got this small stall sell the stuff are not....

My experience is dont use cimb cc in foreign site even it show RM, been charges in few sites already like Xiamen Air and so on, if I use my other bank cc will only charges the amount I saw

cimb is one of the banks that charge cross border fee

HLB also charging 1% fee for youtube premium subscription fee.

Yes for other CIMB cards but not CIMB TWE. So customers need to file a complaint and get a refund.

CIMB petronas VI:

+1% cross border free - 1% CB foreign currency usage = 0. no harm ma.

My personal experience > it's depend on your luck as different CIMB CS will give you a different answer when you call them.

For Jan to Mac 2025 quota, yes, CIMB accepted assessment taxes payment & quit rent (in my cases, I paid online). I also paid Great Eastern Insurance, myTNB bills & retail purchases to make it RM3,000++. I called their CS & they confirmed I have met their requirements.

FYI, in 2024, I fulfilled the RM3,000++ spend through flight ticket purchase (trip.com), Boost Top up and a few offline retail purchases.
Initially the CS told me the Boost top up (ewallet) is not eligible. But after I called again to talk to another CS, they confirmed I have met their requirements. PS: I have used this quota when I've visited Beijing last year + RM65 Grab voucher code.

In my opinion > CIMB doesn't have standard guideline about what transaction is eligible and what transaction is not ....
Unlike AmBank which is very consistent, ALL retail online & offline are eligible for PPL access (no matter the transaction is eligible for bonus points or not).

I hope this info help.

just recieved my cimb petronas visa card, would like to confirm the cash back system, i only aim at spending 1.5K so 1 st month, i need spend 1k at petronas for 6% cb (RM60) and 500 on dining /grocery for 3% cb (RM15).

if 2nd month i did not spent any amonth, i will still get cb for previous month spent?

don't understand what you're trying to convey

the cb is by statement cycle. cb credited the day after statement date.

eg if statement date = 5th, cb credited on 6th. viewable in cimb octo/web on 7th.

Do you have problems paying DuitNow QR with CIMB Octo app? Sometimes when I scan, the QR code doesn't register. I've never had this difficulty with ShopeePay, GrabPay or TnG.

oh, so it is normal cash back like RHB shell, because i tot it is like affin cb system which need maintain statement bal rm1500 to get the cb.
