Hi,

I'm looking to get a monitor at one of the Sim Lim shops. Will this be eligible for 10x points?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Bonus OCBC$ is awarded based on the MCC of the merchant you are purchasing from. If the merchant you are purchasing from at Sim Lim Square and their acquiring bank have categorised their MCC as one of those shown in the T&Cs, it will be eligible for 10X OCBC$.

Do note that if the merchant’s main business is selling of hardware and computer parts, it will not be eligible for 10X OCBC$.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Sorry I’m a little confused, you mentioned that the awarding of points if based off the MCC. However, for my previous question pertaining to the purchase of a camera, it’s not required to be based off the MCC of the merchant?

Is a camera purchase the exception?

Hi, understand IKEA spendings are eligible for 10X. Does the same applies if I use the card at an overseas IKEA branch?

Hi elendil5259,

10X OCBC$ will be automatically awarded when transactions are made with merchants whose MCC is as shown in the T&Cs.

T K Foto’s MCC is not eligible for 10X OCBC$, but as an exception, we will be granting the additional OCBC$ if a purchase is made in the relevant categories.
The OCBC$ will not be awarded automatically, and cardholders will have to get in touch with us after the transaction is made.

As for Fujifilm, at the moment, we are not able to ascertain the MCC.
If the MCC is eligible, all transactions will be automatically granted 10X OCBC$. However, if it’s not, like T K Foto, we will be granting the additional OCBC$ on an exceptional basis.

Hi there,

Purchases made at IKEA overseas will be eligible for 10X OCBC$ as well. However, we are not able to ascertain at the moment how the transactions will be coming in.

If you do not receive the additional OCBC$ automatically, just drop us a private message, and we will help you sort it out.

Do keep a copy of your invoice.

The question was wrt to buying monitor at Sim Lim. Your previous post seems to mean if the MCC for the monitor transaction dun fall under those in the TnC, there will not be exception given. The confusion is why the difference in treatment for camera and monitor.

In addition can you explain why "if the merchant’s main business is selling of hardware and computer parts it will not be eligible for 10x ocbc$". Hardware and computer part is not considered as electronics?

Hi,

Plan to buy phone from red white mobile https://redwhitemobile.com). Will i be getting 10x point from this store?

Hi, OCBC Bank

I’m planning to get a sound bar from the authorised dealer in Singapore. However, it’s not from the major electrical store. The store is TC Acoustics in Adelphi. The item is shown in this link https://www.tcacoustic.asia/sg/shop/brands/sonos/sonos-playbase.html

Please advise if this purchase will be eligible for 10x points. Thanks in advance.

Hi both,

We are checking on your query with the relevant department, and will get back to you asap.

Hi there,

10X OCBC$ are awarded for transactions made with merchants whose MCC is as shown in the T&Cs.

After feedback from our cardmembers, we have added merchants such as IKEA, LAZADA, AMAZON amongst others to be automatically granted 10X OCBC$ for all purchases made, even though the MCC is not eligible.

As much as we would like to accede to all requests, we are unfortunately unable to do so.

Elendil5259, for your computer monitor purchase at Sim Lim Square, could you provide us with the merchant name for our review?

Hi wacanbosi,

Purchases made with Red White Mobile will be eligible for 10X OCBC$. However, at this point of time, we won't be able to ascertain if the additional OCBC$ will be credited automatically.

If you do not receive it by the end of the next month, following transaction posted date, just drop us a private message, and we will help you sort it out.
