thats true.. but when u look at other aspects then they are different. eg. late payment charge.
the interests and some other charges are the same due to competition.

if bank A's interest is 20%pa compared 24% of bank B. which would u choose?

if u say this credit card charges/fees thread is useless or not very useful, then my other thread on credit card payment options is kinda not very useful too... all the banks have almost the same payment options avaliable.

this one means after the amount u spent in converted back to sgd, the bank will charge a 1% or 1.5% admin fee on top of the amount you spent.

amt spent will b converted by the rate determined by visa or mastercard, plus the service charge by visa/mastercard, plus admin fee by bank.

I've to agree with ironman, this info is pretty useless.

Who apply a CC based on these charges (besides annual subscription)? And if you already have a particular card, won't it be better to refer to that card website which info is definitely up-to-date?

it is useful to consolidate so that people know at a glance, rather than having to read the fine print of each CC terms and conditions.

you wont understand how much valuable a compilation of information are. it is easier to have a glance and double confirm from their respective websites than scrambling through each websites.

so some people may appreciate but some dont.

When going for oversea travelling, transactions in foreign currencies using SC or Maybank credit card are better.

I will be going to China to work, but my pay will be inside my Singapore bank account, so will be withdrawing from China atm machine most of the time, therefore would like to ask which credit card is the best for use in China?

Thanks

Hi,

First, I would like to ask how long would you be in China?

Next, my advice is that please do not use a CC to do withdrawals. If you use CC for cash withdrawals, it would be considered as cash advance and interest will be charged immediately.

What you can do is to get an ATM or Debit card linked to your bank account so you can make cash withdrawals overseas without incurring CC charges. All you need to pay is the transaction fee for it. Thus, the best method is to withdraw a large sum at a time, open an account at a China's bank and deposit the money in there. You can withdraw from you China's account as and when you need money and need not worry about carrying large amount of cash with you.

Regards,
takeshi_lum
