So after studying for a bit, just want to post this here to confirm if I got this right. Here my "ranking" for best CC to use to top up BigPay. Also added requirement to own one and minimum spend to maximize CB. This is just assuming max CB for that month.
1. MBB FCB VS (10% in May and August) - Top Up RM 1,000 for RM 100 CB
Min Annual Income: RM 48,000
Minimum Spending: N/A
Annual Fee: Free
2. PBB Visa (6%) - Top Up RM 634 for RM 38 CB
Min Annual Income: RM 80,000
Minimum Spending: N/A
Annual Fee: RM388 (1st Year Free, Swipe 12 times for waiver for subsequent years)
3. PBB Quantum Master (5%) - Top Up RM 600 for RM 30 CB
Min Annual Income: RM 36,000
Minimum Spending: N/A
Annual Fee: Free
4. SCB Just One Platinum (3.4%) - Spend RM 2,500 for RM 85 (15% of RM 567, Other spending of RM 1,933 no CB)
Min Annual Income: RM 24,000
Minimum Spending: RM 2,500
Annual Fee: RM 250 (1st Year Free, Swipe RM 20,000 for waiver for subsequent years)
5. SCB Cashback Platinum (3.3%) - Top Up RM 1,500 for RM 50 (5% of RM 1,000, Other spending of RM 500 no CB)

6. AmBank True Visa (3%) - Top Up RM 1,000 for RM 30 CB
Min Annual Income: RM 36,000
Minimum Spending: N/A
Annual Fee: Free
Others I don't think worth mentioning la.
Anything that I missed out? Other drawbacks / Wrong information / Other worthy mentions
For a kuli like me, RM 3k Salary / Not much spending per month, I think my personal ranking would be:
1. PBB Quantum Master
2. AmBank True Visa
3. SCB Cashback Platinum
4. SCB Just One Platinum
Others out of range for me la hahaha.
P/S: Anyone tried using this for the auto-debit for TIME Fibre? I saw a post that mentions they were charged additional RM 1 for registering auto-debit but haven't saw any updates on it.
nice effort to compile this.
Another way is to earn "indirect cash back", meaning top up BP to meet the minimum spending of the CC and earn the cash back from other expenses.
For example, HLB WISE. Spend petrol 300, groceries 600, mobile 100 + BP 1,000 can earn RM100 CB
Hong Leong WISE (10% on petrol, groceries, mobile) - Top Up RM 1,000 for RM100 CB
