Last time, it was the same day refund from Lazada purchase cancellation. Now a day, Lazada refund took few days to process. This has enabled additional channel to acquire cash back, without any buy transaction incurred. Nonetheless, you must have accumulated significant amount of treat points to make it work.

Step 1: buy a refundable goods worth $1,000 during weekend in Lazada, pay using Amex.

Step 2: request refund for the goods immediate after the purchase confirmation.

Outcome 1: received a cash back of $50.
Outcome 2: after few days and up to 2 weeks, refund processed with a 5,000 treat points deduction from card account.

In above scenario, 5,000 treat points converted into $50 cash back.
Comparing cheapest treat point redemption, 10,000 points converted for $25 service tax credit.

Ladaza buy and cancel for refund definitely more worthy.

not sure what are u advocating, but the cashback will be clawed back.

i suppose he was suggesting that the cancelled transaction will claw back treatspoint instead of cashback

nope, he mentioned that the transaction is done on weekend, not weekdays

QUOTE(ClarenceT @ Feb 15 2022, 01:19 PM)
Normally the original payment transaction is reversed so the transaction date remains unchanged, no impact on cashback unless cross month.

However, Lazada's Finance dept is too lazy to process the reversal, they create another payment transaction but with credit amount, still zero sum for 2 unrelated Amex transactions.

Don't abuse.

Now I see how that works, if it is posted as a separate payment transaction, they should not clawback the treatspoint either

I still got the cash back, but treat point deducted for the refund.
Effectively, I am converting treat point into cash back lol.

Honestly I did't keep track of my treatpoints, so many points were burnt
May i know how to exchange it to cash? I thought only items are available for exchange

That is pretty smart, thanks for sharing.
Last time i bought a phone via shopee with AMEX and then cancelled the order, the money was deducted then refunded back to my credit card, and I still get the cashback, meaning I spent nothing and earned RM30 cashback  oops.gif

I have the similar issue like you but Maybank deducted from my cashback next statement

the only place i can use amex now is Shopee. and lazada too i guess.
and need weekends then got 5% cb. If suddenly want buy something, impossible to wait for that.

You still can use Amex to pay during weekdays. You will earn 5x TP equivalent to 1% (you can redeem at on the spot outlets eg Parkson, SenQ etc, 500 TP = RM1) or 1.25% (10000 TP = SST RM25 credit). Not many credit cards can give you >1% rewards (in general). smile.gif
It is still better than your M2 Visa/MasterCard, 1 TP only.
