Credit Card Review

Here are my comments on OCBC Titanium MasterCard.
  
The most beneficial highlights for OCBC Titanium Mastercard is the 5% rebate on petrol, dining, groceries and utilities including TNB bills, Telco bills and Astro bills. Unfortunately, there is a maximum of cash back of RM50/month. So the 5% cash back for OCBC Titanium is only useful for those who spend less than RM1K per month. If you are spending more than RM1k, you would have most probably used up the RM50 cash back, continue charging to OCBC Titanium Mastercard will give you no benefit since it has no reward points or any other benefits. You will then need to consider charge your transaction after the first RM1k to other cards.
