Credit Card points

Anyone knows whether you'll still get credit card points/miles if you make transfer from CC to Revolut?

Revolut charges no fees for overseas ATM withdrawals for the first $350 per month. Does anyone know if the limit is reset at the start of each month or ...?

Where is the link for the limit of free $350 ATM withdrawal per month? What is fee charged after that? Thanks.

Withdrawals at international ATMs (ATMs outside of Singapore) at up to S$350 are free. ATM withdrawals are not permitted in Singapore. Anything over the above limits is charged at 2% of value of ATM Withdrawal.


Use my link for $10 when you sign up

Assuming that Revolut rates are competitive and ATM withdrawal is done on a weekday AND the withdrawal is done at an ATM which does not charge its own foreign card-based withdrawal fee, is the 2% fee also competitive? That is S$20 on a S$1000 withdrawal. Is that bad?

... it is worse off compared to Money Changer in SG

for USD, Money Changers normally have a 0.15% to 0.2% spread over spot

... it is less competitive than YT's $5

... 2% is probably worse than overseas Money Changers and Bank FX Rate (depend on location & currency)

... it is better than Credit Card 3.5% fee (assume no rebate)

... but if no other choice while overseas, then 2% is the best there is :o

Anyone waiting for metal card upgrade? I'm currently on 350+ on their waiting list and the number move very slowly. Like 1 every working day.. Is it normal or just me, thanks. Yeah, I know metal card not worth the subs but I don't mind

Can share why you want metal card?
Isn’t metal cards so blood heavy.

Need some explanation/advice from you all...

I tried to send some money to a M'sian Bank account.

I sent SGD$20. The person only received MYR$55+. That translates to a crazy rate of about SGD1=MYR2.75.

There is surely some hidden minimum charges, i think. Anyone knows why the rate is so terrible?

I've tried transfer to local banks or foreign banks (China, UK, etc.). No one complained to receive less than the transferred amount. I always exchange to the "transferred currency" before doing the transfer.

Some banks charged RM5 for incoming TT.
