15 years backward?!

I guess that's the price to pay to enjoy higher deposit rates/rebate

It's useable lah... Don't go in with high hopes, then you'll be less disappointed yes, I don't mind them keeping the current site as it is and payout the $ as higher interest rates instead $$$

Agree! Their customer service kinda sucks too but for the higher interest rates. Give and take.

Anyone has applied ATU for the new family card? I called CSO say need to go NETS web site register. Register liao today rcv msg say application not successful..
What is wrong?

Have a question. on boc website, family card is marketed to earn up to 9%. Any idea how to achieve that? Given that +2% is only applicable for other spending on supp card.

Is this the best card to have now?

any paywave function for this card?

No visa paywave on this card. This is a good card for dining, grocery, flashpay ATU and selected merchants. Need to know what is your spending pattern and what you look for in a card to see if this is indeed the "best" card for you.

If combined with BOC SmartSave saving a/c for a 1.55% bonus interest rate (up to $60K) with a minimum $500 card spending, it should be the best.

Plus extra 0.6% bonus interest rate for 3 bill payment ( and another 1% bonus interest rate if salary GIROed) , it is simply the best deal no any other banks can match so far.
