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.
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.
