For the boc family cashback on telecommunication bill (5%), if I purchase a phone at a Starhub retailer, will I qualify for the 5% cashback? I received an sms that it was charged to xx Pte Ltd (not Starhub)

based on tnc, telcommunication bills refer to any payment made to major telecommunication companies. Don't think xx pte ltd is a telco.

Think must be at the StarHub shop. For their partner retailer shops, most you can get is 0.3% (main card) + 2% (“Others” under Supp card)

Few other pointers about how to maximised the BOC savings:
1) Pay bills thru AXS using BOC debit card (it does not contribute to card spend) - 0.1%

2) BOC Paynow - Paynow from BOC mobile number to NRIC 2x $10


Any other tips?

It's the reverse, actually:
"For the purpose of this Promotion, “BOC PayNow Account” refers to any Bank Account which is registered for the BOC PayNow Service and linked to your bank-registered Mobile Number. "

Please help correct my understanding:

To qualify i registered my mobile number (same mobile registered with BOC) with Paylah via BOC account.

Next to qualify i transfer 2x $10 using BOC paylah to my NRIC which is registered to Paylah using NRIC with another bank.

Did i get it right?
