You receive a full cashback of RM50 on local purchases, but only RM20 on overseas/foreign spending (factoring in fees and poor forex, reducing it to 2%).
This results in a 60% reduction in your cashback.
Most people can easily get the full RM50 cashback, why settle for just RM20?
How does the math even work?
From my understanding, if your foreign expense's cashback is RM20, you can still get RM30 cashback from local spending, there is no conflict
If you meant getting full RM50 cashback from foreign expense, but effectively only RM20 due to rates and fees, then I get your point, but still, if it works for the person, why not?
Not everyone like the hassle of managing foreign currency, especially the small change where you can't convert back to MYR easily.
