InstaReM's AMAZE MasterCard

[confusedsuitguy]

the fee is meant for money transfer from account to account by instarem. The amaze card exchange rate do not have extra fee. the rate is also pretty close to that of youtrip,

Thanks, noted!

Plus amaze won't accept dbs altitude as it is visa

Oops, I missed that. Thanks, looks like I'll need a master card too! Any suggestions on a good Mastercard right now? Aiming to use it for my trip and I'm leaving in a week so I don't know it will even show up on time, but worth a try I guess.

Quite a few choices...crmc/wwmc for miles, Citi cashback+/SC unlimited for cashback. Have a few more but these are the common ones

Thanks man. My spending isn't enough for the unlimited cashback cards I think (3-4k a month) so I might go for Citi Cashback or Maybank F&F

hospital and education MCC excluded from the 1% cashback.

overseas spending on hotel should still qualify

Anyone has issues signing up for the card? Tried on an Android, just gives a generic error without saying what the error is when I submit name and address. Already contacted the support but just wanna see if anyone else had the same issue.

Sometimes their network is down, that even login is impossible. you may want to retry again.

How do refunds work? Is the money refunded to the original linked credit card? Any idea how long it takes to process the refund? I had a transaction I made a month ago refunded by the overseas vendor last week and I haven't seen anything in the Instarem app yet.

Had 10 fraudulent transactions being charged to my Amaze card yesterday midnight, SGD 6k+ in total.

Contacted Instarem agent via live chat, and was told to wait for the merchant to settle transactions before raising a dispute.

Immediately blocked online purchases and cross-border transactions functions........haiz....

10? Woah

10? Woah

Moral of story: better block 'online purchases' and 'cross-border transactions' functions in Amaze......unlock when you need to use them.

Suggest you also raise fraudulent dispute to the credit card bank once it gets posted in your credit card account.

Amaza's response can be slow and their support is not as strong compared to the bank. So best to ask bank to block the card and raise dispute immediately in order to protect your interest.

Amaze chat agent was telling me not to raise dispute with the bank first, as she thinks the fraudulent transactions were not 'settled', ie got chance that the transactions will not go through.....

But you are right, I actually ignore the agent's 'advice' and contacted the bank immediately.....
