i'm planning to swipe my cc for deposit 10k downpayment (hotel wedding).
AMEX (5x TP) or FCB (2% CB) is better?
AMEX TP no cap right? Meaning I will get 10,000 x 5 = 50,000 TP
If FCB, only get RM50 max cb for that month.
Or do you recommend other credit cards?
Appreciate your advice
Alot of swiping to be done for wedding

imo, depends on your cashflow situation

just my opinion la.
since wedding need multiple large payments, that means you need cash to be ready.
1) if you target cashback/points, you earn those but need to payback in full once statement is out. eg amex 5xTP (weekdays), gives 50k TP, can redeem for rm100 voucher. but remaining rm9.9k to be paid off soon

2) if you target better cashflow, forego the cashback/points for the moment (still can use for eligible stuffs). target cards with 0% BT or 0% flexipayment. e.g. PBB Quantum's 0% 12mth Flexipay (min RM1200 per transaction to convert). u still get points from PBB cards, but maybe not that attractive. still can accumulate to considerable amount for your wedding expenditures though.
if you dont like "owing" money for too long and prefer to pay off quickly, then get the cashback/points.
just a simplistic view
