Parkingidiot 1st Gear January 2, 2010 Share January 2, 2010 To those who are ignorant and still want to make snide remarks (or are dead set on trolling), CC points are worth it. Points accumulated on my UOB card can be exchanged for Choice vouchers which I can use when shopping at Giant, for instance. I can also redeem the points when I fill up at Shell, comes to as little as $2 to as much as $10 discount, depending on when I last redeemed the points. It's not a huge amount of $, but it's still basically free $, so why the heck not? Using CCs to pay for recurring expenses is an excellent idea, as long as you live completely within your means and pay fully with GIRO every month. totally agree... so far with my miserable spending using my maybank card with no expiry, I have exchanged for a HDD DVD Recorder when it was worth about $450 a few years ago, and next I am going to get an LCD TV worth about $1500 this year. CC points are definately worth accumulating. Other cards have exchanged for countless cinema tickets, petrol vouchers, supermarket vouchers, games, toys, etc. When I queue to pay for petrol with credit card, I still see people paying with cash... I can't imagine why. They miss out on various CC discounts and CC points. I can only guess they can't afford credit cards, or they are laundering money, or just plain suaku. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged March 20, 2010 Share March 20, 2010 Cc is good if that you know how to control future money. I use Citibank and every 3months, a cool cash back of $70~$170 for me. With such rewards, can you say cc is no good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladykillerz 4th Gear March 21, 2010 Share March 21, 2010 Ermmm... So what's the conclusion? Can we pay roadtax using credit card?? From my understanding, cannot. If can, I also want to know how. =x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchmj Clutched March 22, 2010 Share March 22, 2010 When I queue to pay for petrol with credit card, I still see people paying with cash... I can't imagine why. They miss out on various CC discounts and CC points. I can only guess they can't afford credit cards, or they are laundering money, or just plain suaku. Please don't assume everyone can get a CC. My family does not have any CC because parents are low income, we are poor but own a car because parents need it for work. Early morning got to drive to market buy things and to work place, a car/van is a NEED and not a WANT. It's only now when I work I can apply for a CC and have a sub card for my dad just for petrol.

Fredo Clutched March 22, 2010 Share March 22, 2010 I just paid mine using Diners. When queried, the cashier at the STA counter told me that LTA only accept Diners, not others. Hopes this help. As for why use CC, my view is.....to each his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
