InstaReM's AMAZE MasterCard

[swordspirit]

Didn't work at Shell Malaysia again. Instarem....haiz...

ya. need to go to the counter and pay using amaze card directly. Some ok with you pump and pay (especially they get to earn their own shell card). Others, pay first then pump.

Trying to find a usecase for this card. But seems like it's quite useless now? UOB Absolute Cashback (1.7%) -> Grabpay (NIL) -> Youtrip (low forex) seems like a better combo for forex spend.

For local spend... the mastercard limitation, as well as DBS exclusion makes it quite hard to use.

I use it for overseas spend, mainly by linking it to Maybank Family and Friends + SCB Unlimited cashback

Dun like Maybank FnF because of the confusing category limits. Got burnt too many times on that dining category lol. SCB Unlimited cashback seems nice. Can leverage it into 1.5% + 1% for forex spend. Thanks, will explore.

Must check out via desktop/laptop to pay with Chinese yuan.

Taobao app will auto convert to sgd.

exchange rate not good in bangkok. got ard 25.57 while youtrip is 25.97, trust is 25.93 , revolute is 25.97 - 1%(differ with few hours usage)

i tied to sc unlimted 1.5%, so i think not so worth.

Why don't use Citi Rewards? Equavalent to 2.4% cashback if you redeem for statement credit.

Need to allow cross border transaction under manage. So far I manage to use this card at all petrol and shopping. Before pump, it’s always secure with rm200, however the refund will be given after completion.

I used in JB before at other petrol kiosk and also in Thailand without problem. Only this Petronas got rejected.

Now waiting for petronas to refund

Oh, if tap the card at the pump itself, will be rejected. It’s only for visa. So I normally walk in to pay to counter for petronas.

walk in to pay 200rm in advance, then pump, after finished still need to return to counter for the refund ?

Pay at counter so far didn’t pay in advance. They just charge me after pump.
