InstaReM's AMAZE MasterCard

To wallet or cc? If cc quickly dispute with the cc company and cancel it.

linked to cc, problem is the the amaze card that is the issue not the cc. If dispute with cc compnay will go thru whole hassle.

Why is it a hassle? Should dispute on both sides.

Is there any other option to have USD transaction below 2.1%? Otherwise, it could be worse. Look at the positive side: there is still saving with this card.

Trust Cashback, Trust Credit, ICBC Travel, GXS, etc…

No 4miles/dollar. My plan for next month trip is to use OCBC frank/DCS flex for 8% cashback, Amaze with Maybank F&F for 8%, Amaze with Citibank rewards for 4miles/dollar, DBS Altitude 5miles/dollar promotion. All are better than using those multi currency wallets IMO. Amaze is giving free ATM withdrawals until end of the year so I would also be making use of it.

Just a reminder that they will impose a certain percentage charge after the $1k cap for each month.

Need some confirmation for usage of this card when oversea
No need for the paired CC to be set for oversea usage right ?
Thanks

No need.

Set for Overseas usage usually is for magstripe transactions only

No need.

Set for Overseas usage usually is for magstripe transactions only

which is only likely if you're in US, can't think of another country that still uses magstripe

Anyone experienced restaurant rejecting amaze card via Apple Pay? I was using it in greyhound restaurant in bkk and the transaction got rejected even the waiter tried thrice. Eventually, I used another card on the same terminal and it worked. Nothing was wrong with my amaze card as I used it on other merchants on the same day and there was no issue.

I encountered before in SG, the machine rejected applepay amaze everytime. So i always applepay using other card. Then one day i try use physical card of amaze and it works.

Sounds like it is machine specific for both of our cases

similar encounter with dbs card
obviously bank will say security parameter

merchant terminal or bank issue, well for anyone to guess

on the flip inside, instapoints is erratic also, half the time seem not issued with points for overse transaction (non sgd bill as sgd via instarem) although doesnt matter much
then they shoudlnt do rewards system

Bill payment excluded lor, same like how banks exclude from credit card rewards, nothing surprising there.

No, amaze never say can use on Samsung pay right?
