Anyone using credit card to pay annual premium for Great Eastern?

[Xcert]

I have an annual premium for Great Eastern coming up...wondering if there is any way I can earn some rebates/miles with credit cards....

Anyone can advise?

i pay with DBS Altitude Visa for points which I intend to convert to miles

Yes, use OCBC new GE cashflo card to pay for GE/OAC insurance premium. It will automatically split into 12-month interest-free instalments. And it gives you 1% rebate on the monthly instalment. Good card to have for GE/OAC insurance.

If your premium is more than $8K annually, make use of OCBC 360 account to earn additional 1% interest (for 12 months) on savings balances of up to $60K.

Last Nov I got points for paying Prudential using citibank premiermiles. Also can use DBS altitude to pay Prudential for points. For Prudential, can also use UOB One or Maybank Platinum for up to 3.33% rebate

From DBS Internet banking, set it up as a bill to be paid from the DBS credit card. Just like set up other bank's card as a bill to be billed to DBS card.

Like that got points meh

EDIT: checked my statements & NO points as its ONLINE BILL PAYMENT !

The same goes with my AIA payments, no points.

I get points for Prudential policies because I set it up with PruAccess (not IB bill payment)

arrgghhh

Guess no way to get points for AIA & GE if paying by credit card

For use cc for AIA first premium only. For GE there is GE Cashflo card. Not sure if there are other ways

 

[dexboi]

Hijack, which CC can accumulate points for Aviva and Prudential? Premiums can be arranged to charge directly from insurer to Credit Card. NOT via Internet Bill Payment.

Currently using GIRO. Wanna submit request to switch to CC if can earn points. Please advise. Tks!

Assuming I only these 2: DBS Altitude / Citi PremierMiles

GE policies can only use OCBC cards pay.

Just talked to GE...have to see which policy U want to pay even when using OCBC Cashflo...if its not in their approved list...also no benefits unless U are using it to fulfill OCBC 360 requirements...

IBanking(at least for Citibank) can be used to pay GE policy...but no benefits....U can only get benefits if GE is the one triggering the payment...which again is dependent on the policy that U want to pay.

This is the list of eligible GE product to be paid using GE cashflo http://www.ocbc.com/assets/pdf/OCBC-GE-CashFlo-Product-Listing_20140926-for-web.pdf

For Aviva, CC is not listed as one of the forms of payment https://www.aviva.com.sg/customer-care/life-and-health/policy-servicing/premium-payments.html I think can only use credit card for first premium. If possible use CIMB platinum card for >$500 premium paying.

For Prudential, according to post 8 above, no points from using Citi PremierMiles. Checked with DBS, points awarded for using DBS Altitude if Prudential is the one initiating the payment (eg using recurring bill payment form, or PruAccess). Can also use UOB One and Maybank Platinum but need to meet the tiered spending requirement.

so in conclusion..GE policies use OCBC GEcashflow

Prudential use DBS altitude? Staggered payment via uob one or maybank is good but will incur higher overall premium for the whole year vis a vis one time payment...

if i am not a miles guy any alternative for prudential payment?

 

[chopra]

not all GE plans can use cc. term plans cannot

If use DBS altitude, points earned can be redeemed for other rewards.
