InstaReM's AMAZE MasterCard

[revhappy]

Anybody can PM me the referral code?

 

[huiseh]

I got an email saying the card is now live and asking me to activate.

Looks like can only link Mastercard to it for now.
Does that mean I can triple dip, for example:
Topup Grabpay using cashback CC, then use Grabpay linked to Amaze when paying for stuff to earn Grab points + cashback from Amaze?

Grabpay wallet is valuable, there is 30k annual limit. I would not waste that limit by combining with Amaze. I would use this seperately.

If Amaze allows to link UOB Absolute card to pay AXS, I would like to pay off IRAS taxes with this and get 1.7% cashback.

Isn't UOB Absolute Amex?

Yes, do they allow to link Amex? The image on the 1st page implies they allow:

No, only Mastercard at the moment.

I just signed up through their website and activated my account. I could also click and order for amaze card, but it didnt say when it will be sent to me.

I installed the instarem app, but I dont see anything related to amaze card there

Looks sth like this

Huh! I dont see the "card" tab at the bottom, instead I see the "Recipients tab. Am I using the wrong app? My app is "Instarem" by Nium Pte Ltd. from google play.

From the look of it this is a closed beta and only open to those who signed up two years ago. That's why it's called "Founder's Edition".

which is highly likely under some financial institution MCC, excluding for rewards almost from any cards.

Sad, if that’s true then 1 major selling point is out (I believe this is one of their selling point of this card?)

but even IF this is true, routing transaction via Amaze with visa rates would be cheaper VS CC with 3.xx% Foreign transaction fee +currency conversions fees even with CC rewards isn’t it?

Not true. It operates similarly to PayPal, i.e. transaction name will be prefixed with "AMAZE*" but everything else, including the MCC, will remain.

I got the card in my hand already, tonight I will try it out and see how the MCC code work.

I just tried and confirm. The MCC code is the same original merchant.

For those who got the card, is there the +0.5% cashback as promised in the initial release in addition to your CC rewards?

 

[xiaosinsinful]

Correct me if I’m wrong. How it works is

merchant USD$10>
Amaze USD$10 to SGD$13.27 with Visa rates >
CC charged SGD $13.27 with rewards

so we are able to avoid all the foreign transaction fees, exchange fees, DCC etc

Weirdly I was there during the launch and signed up since but never received the email to sign up for this founder's card.

Yes I did so back in 2019. Ytd when I login to instarem desktop page, the sign up for amaze card page still remains there. The page looks exactly the same as 2 years ago asking for delivery addr and name on card prefered
