So where do I buy them in order to get the best perks (can be cash back, rewards point or others..). I can use CC or cash, as long as it is the best deal. I would like to buy TV, fridge, hood/hob, fans, airconds, microwave oven, washing machine, exhaust fan, rice cooker. Thanks.

You cant have the best deal of each appliance from the one shop. Each brand promo depends on manufacturer or importer support.

What you need is .... time to shop around ....or wait for home expo.

1. big chainstore like sengheng - extra warranty but no discount. Harvy norman no extra warranty but price can nego
2. those smaller chain can nego price kao kao since u buying whole house electrical.
3. buy lazada/shopee. most troublesome but potentially cheapest.

Shop tend to open price 10pc more than the average shopee or lazada price.
If you have good nego skill then go offline shopping.

For the really best deals online still better I guess. But there will be hiccups like courier slow delivery for peak 1111 1212 season. Other than that, for aircon beware of scammer trying to upsell you the outdoor unit and only send indoor unit, make sure you get it in writing (shopee or lazada chat) that both IDU and ODU included. Aircon unit and TV more delicate so better to buy offline as the unit condition is pristine. Handling by logistics may result in bent fins on the aircon IDU and ODU then need to buy fin comb to straighten out. TV some cases of cracked screen.

Nonetheless, I've bought WH, fans, exhaust fan, rice cooker, air fryer online and all came perfectly.
Aircon kena con of return shipping fee because scammer sent only the IDU and wanted me to topup for the ODU.
Other unit aircon delived by "the lori" driver who macam first time deliver to condo, limited hours delivery, told him already yet still come at 9PM and i have to drive my car out to guardhouse as lorry not allowed after office hour ranting.gif
Aircon self collect from PJ Jintex, OK perfect condition as I self collect.

TV I still prefer self collect. Too big (60") best they delivery for you. 50, 55 unboxed may be able to fit some cars.

Fridge better get from electronic shop. Their own fleet of deliverymen all include doorstep delivery if got lift with no extra charge. If courier service one might ask for kopi.

Thanks for ur suggestion, I did compare the prices from Sengheng and Harvey, generally Harvey prices are lower but in my place now no Harvey physical shop.

I think u are right. I always try to buy them in 1 shop thinking I will be getting nice discounts. Perhaps for aircond I will approach local shops, same as big appliances. And try to find others online.
