Strange. Anyone noticed that your transaction date reflected on your credit card is one day earlier if make through amaze card?

Yes. Likely to do with how and where (country) the payment processing takes place. This is one small nuance got to take note if you are using it with cards and needing to clock a certain spend or min based on posting or txn date for whatever card you're pairing it with. Otherwise avoid or thread cautiously for the 1 or 2 days before and after the cut offs of the card bills

so for example i link my amaze to scb unlimited 1.5% cashback card.
if i manage to spend $500 over 3 months, then i will get 2.5% cashback (subject to the amaze cap)?

its objectively better to use amaze card linked to scb unlimited than directly with scb unlimited?

if u can consistently spend $500 a month, UOB One card can give u 3.33% rebate directly?

if u can consistently spend $500 a month, UOB One card can give u 3.33% rebate directly?

I mean $500 over 3 months.
If $500 per month then ocbc frank (6%) and dbs fresh (5%) gives way better cashback than uob one

i believe dbs/ocbc cashback has some caps or limts on retailers or spend type ?

yeah there's cap cashback i think $60 or $75 so have to monitor accordingly. once hit the cashback cap its time to use other cards

said it many times and said it again, high liklihood no. try at your own risk if you don't get it means you don't. any merchant specific promos are not the ideal pairing with amaze, to bank's eyes the merchant is Amaze and not esso. to gain for that 1%, u risk the petrol discount which is more than 1% can offer in return.

So it will be risky to pair with Maybank Family and Friends card for SingTel bill payment since we have only a specific few companies under telecom.?
link for payment to restaurants should be safe but not sure for payment for groceries
Maybe those that have link up FnF cards and got the rebate can share some information.
Thanks.

please see what i explained couple months back. pls refer each card's tnc. in F&F case, is based on MCC unless otherwise stated must be specific merchant like e.g. Popular

the most impt clue is always in the t&c, time and again.

i've explained earlier in many pages back. if a bank says get X% or special promotions at "Book Store X", "Shop Y", "Restaurant Z", you need to use the actual bank card to pay and not amaze. they based on the description to award the MERCHANT SPECIFIC promos. if you choose to use amaze, the merchant becomes Amaze in the eyes of the bank as the description changes to begin with *amaze POPULAR SG instead of e.g. POPULAR SG. their system is likely clued to lookout for transaction (and probably typical MCC of Popular?) with description beginning with POPULAR to award as such.

whereas if a bank promo says get X% or specials for shopping at specific spending TYPE. If they say Grocery, Petrol, all these purchases must carry a MCC code of a Grocery or Petrol in order to qualify for the respective bank's rebates/promos. In the case of F&F card t&c, it has already been spelled out clearly they are looking out for MCC 5411 to be eligible classed as grocery. So any merchants that has 5411 MCC will qualify, even though amaze card passes the descriptions down as *amaze Fairprice but has 5411 MCC passed to the bank. it does not messes the MCC of the transaction.

If rebate is specifically for singtel then it's merchant specific. The rebate is given for Telco payment so its not merchant specific, its base on MCC. Same goes for groceries, already quite clear its not merchant specific, base on MCC.
