3% per annum
rebate of 1% of the transaction, which is immediate.
simple illustration:
(i) RM100 x 3% p.a. / 365 days x 49 days = RM0.40
(ii) RM100 x 1% cash back = RM1.00
Directly receiving immediate RM1.00 is better than receiving 40cents, no?
or did i misunderstood your viewpoint?
You are right, i was blinded by the 3%, which in fact it was for per annum.

i was thinking the same as I was doing the math. the 1% cash back definitely better. if I just go by 30 days rather than 49 days, that's worse - u get 25 cents because 3% is per annum not per month.. so the calculation is about the same anyway:
RM 100 x 3 / 12 = RM 0.25
RM 100 x 1 / 100 = RM 1
So I cannot see how paying with CC makes sense at all.
Unless the CC has other CB higher than 1%, as said once all these CB cards used up, it is feasible to use the GX card

No need to overdo the math, the 3% p.a interest is negligible for the 30 days.
Just use whatever credit card (or debit card) that gives the highest cashback.
