Maybank Platinum Visa. But I am not sure how long that will continue because banks are making it more and more difficult to get rebates these days.

Make sure you check your quarter cycle & that the new spend criteria is applicable from 1 Oct for your case

Banks are like telcos, all money see monkey do.

One telco stop giving 12GB data bundle, the rest will follow. One start charging for 4G, all will follow. UOB One up the monthly minimum to $500, a matter of time before Maybank follows.

If you don't mind the hassle, apply for the Maybank card now and enjoy first and when it goes up to $500 then cancel lor.

I used to be using ANZ Travel card but mothballed it when I applied for UOB One. Now that its gone up to $500, I will be starting to use my Travel card again once my spending quarter is over in September.

A lot of ppl are saying ANZ Travel card is useless after they revised the number of points required to redeem cash rebates. While its true that you need more points now to redeem, it works out to 1.5% rate which is still not bad considering most cards give only 0.5 or 1%.

My card says good thru April 2020 and if I'm not wrong I got the card in April and started charging since then.

Assuming that's the case, my first cycle presumably is Apr, May & June and the rebate is posted in July. So my next cycle should be July, Aug & Sep with the rebate posted in Oct right?

Anz travel converts to 1% rebate

Hi,

Just to confirm, do the cash rebates apply to any and all charges made to the card, including recurring bill payments?

This has been asked so many times. The least you could do is to go back a few pages and the answer will be presented on a silver platter for you?

Yes. And "nov 15" refer to statement in nov 15 which include transactions posted after oct 15 statement


Thanks Trazora! My statement quarter is as followed:
2-Aug-YY to 1-Sept-YY
2-Sept-YY to 1-Oct-YY
2-Oct-YY to 1-Nov-YY
....

Pardon me, what do you exactly mean by "And "nov 15" refer to statement in nov 15 which include transactions posted after oct 15 statement"?

Thanks!
