Hello, can I check, for reservist pay, the code is SUPP. Is it counted as salary? Anyone still got the interest?

Hmm it is the 31st and I have not received the Family cash rebate for online purchases (4.5%) for Sep expenditure. Anyone also have not received?

My statement date is on the 3rd of the month but usually received all the rebates before the month end.

As per t&c, not eligible:
Only genuine employment salary credit via GIRO or BOC Salary Crediting service with transaction descriptions "SALA" or "IBG-SALA" printed on the monthly statement within the calendar month is eligible. Salary credit in other forms will not be eligible.

The new debit card looks good to me

I was pretty lucky, I got it within 2 weeks. All you have to do if you need it urgently is to tell the counter staff to put you in priority and expedite the request. If not you have to wait liao, some people here previously said it can be up to 6 weeks.

Payment Bonus Interest

To earn the "Payment Bonus Interest", can I use BOC internet banking to pay for Credit card bills (both BOC cards as well other bank cards) to qualify for this bonus interest?

Mine did not count as salary payment. The purpose code must be 'SAL' (Salary Payment). 'SUPP' actually stands for Supplier Payment. See http://www.bankofchina.com/sg/custserv/cs1/201509/t20150918_5661906.html

Are you guys referring to the BOC family card application? I had sent out the application form exactly 4 weeks ago, still yet to receive. Funny thing is they sent an email 1 week after i sent out the application, saying i never state the choice of card, when the application form i sent out is for BOC family card!

Received my 1st saving account statement. I made 3x payments to pay credit card bill through BOC mobile app. 2 of them with transaction detail as "Transfer withdrawal". The other one is "transfer-EGIROOUTWARD". Non of them mention bill payment. Is this normal?

 

[highsulphur]

Actually if I don't credit my salary to BOC (using DBS for multipler) nor can meet the 2k spending limit, I don't think this is worth it for me anymore. Just the 3 bill payment and $500 aren't going to give much interest.

Yup.

The best choice will be UOB.

$500 monthly + 3 giro transactions = 2.432%

This is up to how much as the limit?
