How can I apply for the Debt Consolidation Plan and who is eligible for it?

If I am correct, the CIMB Platinum MasterCard’s Debt Consolidation is a debt refinancing program which offers the customer the option to consolidate all his unsecured credit facilities across financial institutions with 1 participating financial institution. How exactly do I go about applying for this plan?

    You may approach any of the 14 Participating financial institutions which offer the Debt Consolidation Plan to apply for a Debt Consolidation Plan. An applicant is only allowed to apply once with one Participating financial institution in Singapore as an applicant can only have one Debt Consolidation Plan. To be eligible for DCP, you must be a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident; and earn between $30,000 and $120,000 per annum plus have total interest-bearing unsecured debt on all credit cards and unsecured credit facilities with financial institutions in Singapore that exceeds 12 times of your monthly income. However, certain categories of unsecured loans are excluded from DCP, such as joint accounts, renovation loans, education loan, medical loans, and/or credit facilities granted for businesses or business purposes

This card gives me $80 cash rebates every month.

I fancy the OCBC 365 credit because it has cash rebate of $80, but only after you full fill their criteria. They require a minimum spending of $800 per month which in turn earns interest from different spending. This card suits me just fine being that I have broad spending habit and in the process it gives me $80 cash rebates every month. My only dislike is the rebate on the general spending which is 0.3%.

Too bad it is not an unlimited cashback card

Unfortunately, the HSBC advance card is not an unlimited cashback card as they have a cap on the cashback per month, even for advance banking clients. Furthermore, if you are not an advance banking client, you would not get subsequent card fee waiver if you do not get to spend at least $12,000 in a year.

Spa privileges that come with card membership

I find it very pleasant and rewarding the Platinum Wellness offerings of the AMEX Express Platinum Credit Card as I get to rest and replenish after a hard week at work. I treat myself to spa privileges that come with my Card Membership with spa vouchers from Adeva Spa, Spa Rael and The Ultimate. I do this one’s a week and enjoy up to 40% off à la carte spa services at Adeva Spa, Spa Rael and The Ultimate. Simply relaxing and feels good to be pampered.
