InstaReM's AMAZE MasterCard

[highsulphur]

also need to earn enough points to redeem for cashback

the expiry is longer now. seems like 12 months now

 

[ekardo]

so there's no benefit in clocking local spending on Amaze ? might as well clock directly to say Citibank premier card?

Amaze converts everythimg to online, can get 4mpd on citi rewards mastercard so long mcc not excluded, even for using Amaze+CRMC for offline/recurrent payments

Guess if I link my Citibank CashBack card to Amaze card and spend in dining/supermarket/petrol overseas with my Amaze card, I shall get 6-8% rebate as well with very good fx rate?

Amaze link will not change MCC right?

Fraud alert, from this morning.

KYSHIASUTHE <- No idea where this is. Declined due to wrong expiry date. 4 attempts.
LACHLANSMIT <- 99 AUD. Went through but was automatically reversed a minute or two later, not sure how.

No harm done, thankfully. My own fault for not turning off online/overseas transactions.

Hi thanks, but overseas spend for uob privi is 2.4%. Does it means i should not pair with amaze?

to me 1 extra mile is not worth the 3.25% fee

Anyway Amaze+CRMC can get 4mpd without fx fee for max $1000 so long mcc not excluded (e.g. travel related excluded)

I apologise, as i am new to miles . Thinking which card best for overseas spending as i getting some gifts overseas so was thinking which card and how to use it for more miles.

[Newride]

Thanks will ask the mcc from cashier

 

[Obviouslylah]

Anyone used Amaze in taiwan before?

 

[someusername]

yes provided mcc is eligible

Oh tarnation I completely forgot about this. I bought some air tickets via Amaze->PRVIMC and then overseas I specifically used my PRVIMC at payment terminals thinking I'd get 4.4mpd. But I'm only going to get 2.4mpd for all the overseas spending because I already hit the $4000 limit with the air tickets. Oh well live and learn.

I tried to use my Amaze card linked to Citibank Cashback+ card in South Korea. I tried on mutiple occasions at different merchants (Dining, Supermarket, Attractions) but all were rejected, apparently due to their security and risk policy. Contacted Nium/Instarem support and all they said after 2 days was to contact my bank card issuer. Totally useless overseas.
