Can I ask those who have use to book hotel through Expedia, agoda and etc. If i use this card to book thru those website, should it be under dining and leisure category or travel? The sale guy told me it dining and leisure which I have my doubts. Can anyone advise?

Hi guys for those who just sign up, they asked for you to pick your choice travel shopping etc

When you receive the card it is effective immediately or need to go to submit form again?

effective immediately for the calendar quarter. If you don't request to change category, the same 1st quarter category will be brought over to the 2nd quarter (Just for the second quarter after card sign up). Can also request to change category for 2nd quarter, at least 5 days before the 2nd quarter. 3rd quarter and beyond, must go select categoryat least 5 days before the start of the quarter.

Sigh so I been bluffed. He told me it dining and leisure so when I sign up the card he help me choose dining and leisure!

generally, hotel bookings will be considered under "leisure" if you book the room directly from the hotel website.

for me, almost all my bookings are thru 3rd party travel websites like zuji, expedia and agoda. I will only book the room directly from the hotel website if there is a good promotion going on.

Called in today and they waived my annual fee. However, they required me to pay in full amount first, then they will credit the annual fee back... This is so sian, I don't remember I did this for my travel card.

when they say "credit the annual fee back", meaning is in term of optimum$?
