SCB SingPost/Spree Card

[Trazora]

I think with all these cc giving cashback for online merchant spending is ridiculous.

We as consumers have no idea whether the online merchant will classify it as online transaction.

We will only know when we check on our statement and rebates.

N more n more these so-called online merchant do not classify our transaction as online.

This is getting so much fun!

Any suggestion how they can do it better?

it's just kinda troublesome if you need serveral transactions to hit the max rebates; best is air tix and 1-2 more transactions totalling >/=857, then it's clear cut $60 rebates. but can't complain about "free money" LOL.

i thought air tickets purchase dont qualify? read sometime back. is this still the case? cos airline ticket purchase can't use paypal...

Sq qualifies

Sq qualifies

Through SQ app or website, or dun matter?

 

[juxtaposition]

Already suggested but as always the usual response.

1. Cannot disclose which merchants are eligible
2. Even if the merchant is eligible, the way they charged it matters.

Today one of the bank tell me, u can charge a small amount first then call in n ask.

I will just slowly phase out these cards.

Unless there is a centralized official website stating the MCC and whether the charging is consider online, dun think the bank will bear the risk of upfront telling people which are all the merchants that are considered online.

JAL and Korean Air qualify too, I would think most/all airlines can. I always book via website.

Ya it's just cumbersome if we can't be sure if a particular merchant qualifies. Some ppl say KLOOK doesn't.

just wondering if anyone did not get the 7% rebate for starhub and singtel payments after appealing? I just sent the appeal but wondering if I should continue charging to this card for telco payments.

My qoo10 also only gotten 0.2% rebate

2nd CSO also insisted my qoo10 can't get the 7% rebates, looks like have to call already...

Qoo10 / QOO10 is a bit confusing.

Paid thru PayPal for qoo10 gift card, didn't get full rebate and have to call in.

Second time, paid directly using cc for qoo10 gift card . Also needed to call in.

CSO helped me to reinstate actual rebate on both occasions.

Is it only happening for this card ah? Didn't hear of this for other cards

Not really, i suspect Qoo10 sometimes charge the transactions offline. I used Citibank rewards for Qoo10 recently. Within the same month, i have 2 transactions and 1 of them does not get the 9x points for online while the latter transaction did.

May I ask how you managed to make payment using PayPal for GC? I couldn't find it under my payment mode options.

 

[IcYFl4mEz]

Dont think qoo10 gc can pay by paypal.

 

[dgeralds]

I think it is time to dump all these cards that are too confusing to follow and just use care that are straight forward even if the cash back is small....

Sent from HUAWEI VKY-L29 using GAGT

paiseh, I recalled wrongly.
No paypal option for GC payment.

What I still confuse is, at least for my case, I cannot get the rebate automatically whether pay for GC or pay shopping cart items; pay direct or pay thru paypal.

Last few days test water for singtel with a small amount and apparently still dont get 7% when cashback credited today.. really dont know what card to use in future..

 

[devion]

You have to call the CSO to dispute. I called for mine today & they will manually credit the amt for Starhub bill. M1 so far no issue.
He mentioned that merchant did not state it as online....I disputed that I have been paying online all the while in the past & got the 7%.
I guess it will be in this mode & for those unsuspecting customers....they will lose the 7% cashback for such cases. Win for SCB.
