Sorry if this question has been asked before. Does paying another bank's credit card bill qualify as a transaction for the bonus interest? What about paying a BOC credit card using the BOC account?

just read through all of 84 pages here. already have ocbc 360 a/c and was considering between uob1 and boc smartsaver for the excess funds.
seems like boc one is a better choice since i already credited salary to ocbc (1/2%) and the giro requirement for uob1 is a pain.

problem now is hitting the $500 cc spend mthly. currently have about a fixed $300 spend on bills and stuff mthly. need to think how to spend on the other $200, any idea guys?

was thinking if i sld cancel my giros and just pay mthly instead.
never cancel giro before, is it troublesome?

Thanks guys.

Extra 200 - help yr parents buy grocery? Or pay their bills?

I also got some products with ocbc, like srs and eps for shares, and their internet banking really much better. But the allure of almost 2% more interest from boc is very strong and worth the trouble

the 300 is inclusive of helping them pay bills. most of their bills are paid via giro. i am still keeping my ocbc 360 though since that is the next best one with 1.2% for salary. i am now getting 1.7% (salary and 3 bills) from ocbc. most likely i will switch to BOC as the main one if i can hit 500bucks spending as the interest is better (1.55% + 0.6%).
