[Prof Goh]

May i know how long will it take to recd the card after the application

I'm thinking of using this card to purchase items from Amazon. How is the exchange rate for this card ?

i think forex spread the variance is low, but SCB has one of the higher percentage of bank surcharge around (3.5% including the Visa fee), that being said, they also have one of the most prolific online spending rebate

I know what you mean. High exchange rate and surcharge.
Then also highest rebate.

So work out to be the same ?

 

[VacheronLim]

essentially balance out, most banks are around 2.5% to 2.7% (including Visa charge), so SCB is around 1% higher than them...

DBS LF has no more 6% rebates for online/overseas spend. Ended 29 Feb. LF card is useless now.

Even if SCB has high forex rates... the 7% rebate more than makes up for the fees for overseas spend. So long as you meet the min spend of course.

thanks for the update!

that would means this card is a clear winner in terms of online rebate, none of the challenger will come remotely close to it

For amazon, use cimb visa signature. 10% rebate and only 1% fee. But need min$500 monthly spending and 8×$30 spending. Can buy amazon gift card. Spending on dining also 10% rebate

SCB charges about 1% more than other banks for forex rates... not sure why they are so special.

still, the 7% rebates make up for it bah.

My personal experience for payment of hotel bookings on Accorhotels.com website is it were being charged offline.

Sent from 瑞特斯波德 using GAGT

Ooh good to know but I assume Hotels.com, Bookings.com and Agoda will definitely get 7%?

I need to apply now, just saw some people say it takes 1-2weeks, lol I really need to stop procrastinating.

Anyway does it matter how we apply? Cause the website has a bunch of links to apply but I'm afraid if I use the wrong link they don't give me the $100 cashback.

Edit - Lol nvm, I ask also like that, think I will just go ahead and apply.

I just calculated from my feb bill. Ezlink is only 0.2%.
Then somemore last yr i got rec a hardcopy letter which states that ezlink transactions are not considered qualifying transactions. I still kept that letter.
