I no social life. Seldom eat out, and if I do so, usually tabao from coffeeship or hawker where I cannot use cc
Download and install liquid pay. It allows you to use credit card to pay for hawker food as long as they got SG QR.

Then ts, the 360 cc doesn’t fit your lifestyle rah. Huai you want force it sia. Wait end up spending moar than necessary.
Cannot earn 4.65% then just take 4.05% rah, Wah rao 🤦🏻‍♂️

maybe TS got $1 million plus. 0.60% big difference

just spend everything on that card. Benefit still better than missing out and gain on another card

That is One account.

Im referring to One card.

For OCBC bank account also just need to spend $500. But for OCBC cc need $800
Huh what’s the difference? Iirc 365 account need $500 minimum on 360 CC to get bonus. The $800 is for annual fee waiver and additional rebate, not necessary if using short term.

Can always change bank after 1 year haha

Im using OCBC 365 card, require minumum $800 per month.

Groceries $400
Petrol $300
Utilities $200
HP bills $50 (2 lines)
Wifi $30
Food $100

Total: About $1080

But Im going to get a fuel card which means the $300 is paid for, and I will not hit $800 esp if I dont eat out.

Is there other way to spend without spend unnecessarily?

I thought of buying gold but usually credit card for extra charges for gold.
If I buy NTUC vouchers that will affect my groceries amount.

Get married, make some babies. I'm figuring how to spend less on credit cards instead.

Total monthly expense should be consistent. I play around with 2 cards and the cut off dates of the cc billing cycle.

Spend $500 on cc for 365 account cc bonus

But spend $800 on 360 card to get the 3 to 6% rebates for cc spend.

Its 2 things (interest on bank savings vs rebates on cc spend) that are related

Ya but you miss 1 month, the whole quarter lose the rebate.

I dun like how UOB calculates per quarter.

Also means I have to buy groceries at giant instead of ntuc

unless you wanna earn additional rebates lo, I buy from ntuc to clock the minimum monthly expenses

Use UOB one card and one account better

ah gui each month bank account interest is in the 3 figure sum which pays for all my bills

only need to spend $500 and make three GIRO transactions, best if you credit salary
