First 100k will entitle 3.6% p.a (0.1+2.0+1.5)

Amount after the first 100k will entitle 2.1% p.a only.

Can refer back the tnc from previous page

So back to your question. To hit 3.6% p.a yes. Only 100k but monthly still need fresh funds 3k transaction 2.0% and spending 1k on SC credit card 1.5%

withdraw 3k out and ttransfer back in considered fresh fund ?

On the card spend portion, the T&C states retail transactions. I have my maintenance fee as monthly charge on the card. Will that count as a valid card transaction?

yes is a transaction.

Okay I realized that the Invest bonus is just for 3 months.
so after that it's only Deposit (0.9%) + Debit Card (0.9%) + CC (0.9%) = 2.7% bonus interest

comparing it to RHB's Smart Account
Deposit (1.80%) + Pay (0.5%) + Spend (0.5%) = 2.8% bonus interest
Plus optional Invest (1.0% of net investment)

Now this saving acc has become worse than hlb pay and save...

only get 1.45% ..who want to spend 1k on debit card with no benefit? at least gxbank can get 1% cashback.

Time to avoid this acc as this rate start 1 Feb - 31 Jan 2025

Already cancelled their cc. Now planning to shift to RHB smart or UOB one
