But I can't seem to see how that is possible unless you spend like 10k per month in cc. Citi rewards capped at 1k per month so thats around 48k per year. Hardly enough to buy a single ticket to bkk.

Ask me change card to get better cashback, i also lazy. I will never travel enough to redeem any significant miles etc. But some of my friends will maximise their miles etc like even paying for income tax. I think cashback like me are a minority. They either claim miles or don't really care lol. Seems that majority here using cb. Now using dcs 2% unlimited. Live fresh used to be good but now like shiet.

Miles, you are stuck to one airline and can only be used for flights. You are at mercy of any change in terms and condition as to what your accumulated miles are worth and is resticted in when/which flight you are going for. Life already complicated enough... Why give yourself more things to do? The idea is miles should be of higher dollar value than cb. Anyway looking at this coz planning a trip to US of the A next year. So looking around see if miles can minimized the damage to wallet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only cash back for me too. 🤣 In the spirit of MCF, I go full cash with paynow if no alternative like shopback/fave.. Petrol just use UOB One card for shell 😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is also each person's personality as well as your spending habits lah ... no right no wrong. For me, I am quite conservative in my spending (aka ngeow cheeh 😆 dio boh @Mkl22?), my monthly giro for income tax payment is more than my monthly total credit card expenditure....so to clock those miles and to keep track to make sure they are redeemed without expiring over years of accumulation does not make sense. My job also do not involve travelling for business, so cannot accumulate miles from there as well. In order to take advantage of the higher dollar value of miles, I do not think it makes financial sense to deliberately spend more than your usual lifestyle just to accumulate those miles. Just my 2 ngeow cheeh cts.😁 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not thinking of spending more for miles. It's just stupid and senseless. I'm thinking if I can get $50 cb every month and if the same amount spent that can claim miles which is higher than 50 bucks in terms of dollar value, it will make sense to change. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
