7% Online Rebate with Standard Chartered SingPost Platinum Visa Credit Card
While some of us have been grieving over the impending changes to the OCBC Frank Credit Card (wef 01 October 2015), many of us have started looking for substitutes. To be honest, while the requirement of S$400 on offline retail spend has put a lot of people off, the OCBC Frank Credit Card is still quite a decent card to have if you do spend a bit of money at cinemas, bars, clubs, KTVs and selected cafes on weekends. However, if you are looking for a credit card that gives you maximum online rebates (with its own set of terms and conditions of course), you might wish to consider the next one instead.
Reasons to Cancel your OCBC Frank Credit Card
Last month, I wrote about the benefits of having the OCBC Frank Credit Card since it offers 6% rebates for most online purchases and at the same time, the S$500 minimum spending also triggers the 0.5% interest bonus on the OCBC 360 account. Starting 01 October 2015, this card will have a revised earning rate (across different categories) and the minimum spending required will change as well. In other words (and most definitely in gaming terms), this card's been nerfed! Here are some reasons to cancel your OCBC Frank Credit Card come next month and OCBC has conveniently put together a list of changes (old vs new) that I thought was pretty honourable but it is not going to change my decision to cancel this card.
