i bought JAL tix in Jan/Feb, no issues... the on-off "glitches" are annoying
ok i got to the bottom of it after calling. The bottom line is
JAPAN AIRLINES website is not recognized as online transaction by Standard Chartered.
anyway these were my transactions:
23/08/2017 30CASHBACK 22.80 CR
20/08/2017 JAPAN AIRLINxxxS'PORE SG 914.00 DR
22/07/2017 30CASHBACK 60.00 CR
19/07/2017 AGODA.COM INTERNET SG 299.54 DR
That was all I spent for the period.
So the latest cashback, $22.80, was for the period of spending from 24 July to 23 August, and actually for the agoda spending on 19 July, because the posting date rolled onto 24 july.
So they told me that the 20 Aug Japan airlines spending was posted on 23 August (still fit into this cycle period) but was not recognized as an online transaction but rather a retail transaction. I explained it was done on their website and after some long waiting eventually they agreed to consider it an online transaction.
So I suggested that they could alert customers of vendors who have this issue so they can inform the vendor or avoid spending on these vendors. They said it is not up to them but rather should fall upon customers to note these problem vendors themselves, and they can call Stanard Charterted to contest the amount when it happens.
I thought it was quite 'pass the problem to other people'.
So we have JAL website not recognized online transactions. Maybe we can start a list so we can refer to all the vendors easily?
My latest statement 23 Aug - Singtel not awarded 7%. Last month was ok, thought problem has been rectified. Now problem back again, hahaha. CSO agreed to credit back. He also mentioned bank recently updated the system to hv singtel online transactions earn 7%.
The rest Qoo10, Lazada, HDB carpark, Silkair, Amazon singapore, LTA e-svcs were ok.
hmm, wonder if booking on SQ website is considered retail too?
online? if got option to use paypal would be a safe betbuy the note 8 pre order gt 7%?

Telco bill and insurance premium can get 7% cashback?
I used to get 7% rebate by SQ transaction. FYI, I book directly from SQ website.I just bought tix+hotel with Expedia (package) and it seems like the my tix is being charged by SQ directly while Hotel is being charged by Expedia...and SC said that SQ is not considered online so does not qualify for the 7% cash rebate...FYI

sometimes if you book air ticket at travel website, the booking will be forwarded to the airline for processing and the online travel agent doesn't charge your card. it is the airline who will charge your card and this processing mode is batch, not online.
so, please beware.
anyone tried using this card for Ezbuy transaction (which attracts 3% processing fee if using CC)?
If it works, I will use this card for my Ezbuy transactions even though 3% more, with the 7% cashback will be worth it...
Anyone knows if 7% is applicable for ezbuy?
this makes sense now...
I always book direct as wellFor flights i always prefer to book direct so as to qualify for online spend. Furthermore book through expedia for the slightly cheaper price the flight timings are very much lesser and limited
