Steady la mir, nice to see you doing so well!

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Thanks bro 🙏

[@SaadonAksah]

Nice! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@sngs9565]

Thank you for this, Buddy!

[@jaysonnwong]

Fantastic video! Would love to know what are some of the best air miles credit cards that you recommend

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Haven’t done any research on it 🥲 will consider a video in the future!

[@PassionPno]

Which airlines? I’ve looked into this before.

[@thaneshwarsundra2747]

Good sharing brother, really appreciates it. Would be better if you could come up with chart for those benefits and catches in future. If you have one for the current one, please share. Thank you.

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Comparison chart? That’s smart, will do it up and post on IG :)

[@juinz09]

Great video! Thanks so much for the information. Just a question, you mentioned that the biggest downside to the RHB Shell Credit Card was it is not supported by Apple Pay. But I just did a quick check and I think RHB recently just announced that their cards are now supported by Apple Pay. Would that mean this will be the superior cashback credit card now? 😆

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Hahaha yep so happy about it 😂 in all seriousness the downside of that card is the high min spend. If you spend that much anyway it’s all good

[@nozomioishi1995]

Out of these, currently using the RHB Shell Credit Card (weekday driver) and the Maybank 2 Platinum cards. Would say that the HLB Wise Credit Card which I’m also using is better than the UOB One card though, with the only caveat being that the 8% only applies on weekends, hence being my weekend driver before switching to the Maybank 2 Amex.

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Ye it’s good but I can’t have 2 weekend only cards, we’d have to spend too much 😂

[@muhammadazim4029]

Hi bro, the Maybank 2 Gold/Platinum got 2 cards respective for Visa & Amex right. Do this mean u need to pay double for the annual credit card tax? Rm25 x 2 = Rm50?

[@nozomioishi1995]

⁠​⁠@@muhammadazim4029 Unfortunately yes. The annual service tax is RM50 as they’re seen as 2 separate credit cards (despite them being bundled together). Someone correct me if I’m wrong as don’t have the card but think the same applies for similar bundle cards like the Public Bank Quantum Visa + Master.

[@olivetan7909]

4:08 UOB one card petrol maximum RM40 per month ? Even platinum card is capped at RM15 isn’t it ?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Oh I meant 40 in total for all categories

[@mohdsyabilmdisa5171]

For Standard Chartered card, i dont think the RM60 is lump all together into one category. The statement said (which means RM20 for each category, subject to the cashback cap in each spend tier). Correct me if i am wrong. :D

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Eh really? Thought it was merged bcs that’s how they’re showing it on the website 🤔

[@jasontan2836]

@@MillennialFinanceMalaysia RM60 separate category

[@iTheSpectator]

Can you talk about secured credit cards in Malaysia?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Haven’t done much research on it but my brother has one, will consider it!

[@SaadonAksah]

Still not much info on it. I've managed to get the Hong Leong one and you don't need to give salary slip so it's quite handy 👌

[@anna_mohamad10]

I understand that the annual wave for RHB Shell credit is 195 but waived when swipe min 24 times on subs year.. Does it mean that we swipe 'literally' on terminal to make payment or contactless payment considered as swiping ? Hope can clarify here! Thank you for the video!

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Contactless should count!

[@kumarboy95]

How about making online payments? Whether it's settling bills or making purchases with a credit card online, is this still considered a "swipe"?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

I believe it counts too but best to check with them

[@shifansheriffdeen155]

Cashback from Non-Shariah compliant credit cards can be considered Halal?

[@ericgoh8851]

May I know for utilities, direct debit counted or not, or just contactless only

[@humsahimuqabula]

Which CC applications are the fastest for the approval and collection?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Not sure, all seem to be roughly the same from my experience

[@puterisyafiqah9418]

I watched the other video on UOB one card saying that the cashback is on quarterly basis and the Bank will select the lowest spending of the month for the cashback?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Hmm I doubt that. Maybe it’s a separate promo?

[@ramtorji6005]

Standard chartered quite expensive for annual fee

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Should be able to get it waived

[@nessajassasin1515]

Rhb shell credit card auto billing such as insurance premium coway netflix all eligible for cashback?

Hi, regarding the uob one card, if using Grab made payment for a bill like astro mobile is entitled for cashback, can i top up grab the ewallet using this card ?

Hi, regarding the shell visa credit card, if we spend above rm1000 for utilities online, spend groceries the max cap for rm50 enough or need to spend more than that category?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Hey if utilities alone is 1k spend then you’ll already get the RM50 sorted. The rest you can spend on whatever category. That’s what I do too except with e wallets

[@nessajassasin1515]

@MillennialFinanceMalaysia if utility alone rm1k, then other category on groceries online if spend rm1k no case right ?

What is the best credit card for buying good with monthly instalment?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Maybank usually has the 0% EPP at most stores

[@JimKoay]

Great video! I got the standard chartered card but im not too happy with the high minimum spending. Rather try the uob one or farm travel points How long should I wait after activation to cancel without affecting credit score?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Not aware that cancelling cards impact credit score 🤔 think you’re fine even if it’s 3-6 months. But yeah uob is a lot easier to hit

[@muhammadazrihusainibinazzu3910]

RHB can now be used with Apple Pay

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Yep! Love it haha

Hi, how about affin duo+ ? Does anyone use it ? Contactless transactions are used for every mcc such as petrol groceries and shopping mall all ?

Amex is not accepted by ALL merchants or MOST/SOME merchants?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Some. There are lots of places that take Amex

[@mazreeahamad]

Wait.. u have credit card and ewallet? Isn't redundant?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Not all places accept credit card, so we top up e wallet with credit card and pay for it haha

Which card should i get if i want to buy 6 digit worth of watches?

Get a points card for sure. Or use GXBank and get 1% on it 😂

[@luffykicil6343]

bro how about HSBC Amanah MPower Platinum?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

I have it too, but not my fav. You have to spend quite a lot to get it and the cashback isn’t as good as the rhb one for me

[@luffykicil6343]

@@MillennialFinanceMalaysiaAlright but i have another question. For UOB one classic, I need to spend atleast rm500 a month. Lets say that Petrol - RM150 Dining - RM150 Groceries - RM150 Grab - RM0 Others - RM50 Total spend: RM500 Do I will get the maximum cashback rm40++? Or i will not collect rm10 cashback from Grab categories since i did not spend with grab?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

You won’t get the grab one

[@eujin87]

Just an input for standard chartered 12:11 should it be Rm20 cap per category?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

You’re right, seems like it’s actually RM20 each 🤔 not sure if I missed this or they changed it but thanks for pointing it out!

[@mohdrashid4326]

uob is best one..little spending,max cashback..try 2 uob card..hahaha..hey..cimb petronas platinum not best?😊

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Yep it’s the best now imo haha. CIMB one is ok, just not the best. Only Petronas stuff has super high cashback 😅

[@c-story5432]

How about hong leong wise card?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

It’s decent but for my use not as good as thenothers

[@hakimrazak2081]

when i read the pds, i just dont understand about Fixed Management Fee (FMF) is it we have to pay RM4500 per month? im confused

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

That’s their interest charges if you make late payments. So they’re saying RM4.5k is the max they’ll charge you in interest if you have a lot of balance outstanding

[@nessajassasin1515]

Does anyone apply via credit card ringgitplus ? Is it safe to apply ?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

From my experience yes, done it a few times. We don’t pay them anything btw

[@fydopete8254]

UOB one for lyfe

I think you got typo on mbb cap at rm50?

Ahh yes you’re right, it’s RM50!

[@suntharramkrishnasamy3194]

Affin duo vs UOB one ?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Oh yeah I remember the Affin duo being decent too. But still think uob is better bcs it covers more category and gives more cashback too
