Report said cumulative amount is RM 1500 but I did a a transaction with Wave-first-then-PIN for a transaction amount of RM 3500 and it went through.

I think pin reset is enforced on 16th transaction only happen within a month but not cross-month. To date, I had not reset Public bank Quantum visa card with pin yet and can still use 22 times of pay wave (each pay wave below RM250) with sum accumulated below RM1100+ since last December.

Keep us posted, but I don't recall using PIN when I used my QV for the first time. Already activated your card ya? Sure you did since you already know/have your PIN.

partial (~19 Dec - 7 Jan) + full month (8 Jan - 7 Feb) = 7 Feb, first actual statement

yeah, based on my previous cards with pbb, my guess (shared previously here) is that if approval date to 1st "printed" statement date is 21 days or more, likely it would be generated first.

comparing to yours, you gotten cards @ 19 Dec but was approved earlier and printed statement date is 7 Jan = that would already >21 days. so, probably that's why statement is generated on 7th Jan instead.

if your card approved @ 20 Dec and printed statement date is 7 Jan, likely it wont generate statement on 7 Jan already and need to wait till 7 Feb 

Touch wood, so far no issue. Currently the transaction still haven’t appear in pbb app but the amount already deducted. Lets see how it goes.

Just realized last month got one tx posted as one day earlier. Will try to talk to CS see how.

Transaction date - 10/2
Posting date - 11/2

Don't confuse.

Not surprised, because too many prizes for >3000 winners.

Usually refresh by following month's 7th.

Yes, pay before due date is OK.

I got mine too but only RM30 because I completely forgot about it and only topped up my e-wallet during late night of 02 June... Anyone used >10x after 2 June still got RM50 cashback? Just wondering if I'd have spent more to enjoy max RM50 cashback
