How does the OCBC Cashflo Credit Card work generally?

If you target to spend on major event tickets and high price items with the plan to split by instalment then this card is for you. However I notice that if you have an existing OCBC saving account, it makes bill payments much more seamless. And aside from being able to split payment into monthly instalments interest free, you can earn up to 1% rebate on your purchase. Only few cards in the market that allow auto convert spending into interest free instalment and still be entitled to 0.5% or 1% cash rebate.

If you’re looking for a hassle-free shopping card for big purchases, there’s no better option than the OCBC Cashflo Card. This card offers a 0% interest instalment plan that, unlike the competition, does not charge a processing fee and rewards payments of up to 1% rebate which actually the highest on the market.

OCBC Cashflo Card offers a ‘trigger’ system that is set up to automatically split payments at a given threshold. Almost all other cards require you to call ahead and apply before making the purchase however that is not the case with OCBC Cashflo Card which allows you to conveniently shop now and pay later, and even enjoy 1% cashback on instalments.

OCBC Cashflo Card benefits consumers who frequently spend more than they can immediately afford by providing a convenient 0% interest instalment plan and by offering 1% flat rebate after $1,000 monthly spend (0.5% if below). Cardholders can not only enjoy worry-free shopping, they can also earn on most of their expenditures.

Not to sound too familiar but I actually find OCBC Cashflo Card’s instalment plan to be especially convenient. It offers a unique trigger system that permits consumers to make big, spontaneous purchases without calling ahead or waiting for approval. Consumers specify a threshold for which transactions are automatically split into instalments, with duration based on the total transaction amount. Consumers can then split charges as low as S$100 across as little as 3 months.

The OCBC Cashflo Credit Card is very perfect for big spending as it automatically splits the payments into monthly instalments that is paying over a 3 months period when spending $100 to $1,000 or paying over a 6 months period when spending above $1,000. With the help of monthly instalment it turns out I do not have to keep track of my monthly spending in order to meet minimum spending of $500 for additional interest for my saving account.

The Citi SMRT card is a pretty decent card for spending but they unfortunately exclude travel related online merchants. This to me is the downside of the card and may be a reason to get another card for travel websites.

For me nothing beats the 5% year-round cash rebates on dining, groceries, petrol and transport (that is taxis, ride hailing, trains and buses inclusive), locally and overseas when you spend minimum S$600 per month. And the cash rebate is capped at S$150 per month. So if you don’t drive, not to worry as you can enjoy 5% cash rebate for your transportation needs, be it a taxi ride, a booking made via ride hailing apps, or trains/buses.

This is my first credit card and I was pleased with the process as the application was absolutely stress free and smooth with customer care service at top notch. I actually felt taken care of and it appeared I could rely on customer care service for virtually any issue. Plus they have a simple tracking system of cashback rewards, with a good App and web UI/UX.

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%.

Even as the OCBC Plus! Visa is not a cashback card, thus there is no cap, or "maximum" cash back, you get to still earn rebates in the form of cash rebates and LinkPoints by shopping at NTUC. However do note that there is a minimum spend of $500 in places outside NTUC before the full range of rebates and LinkPoints can be unlocked.

I have held this card for quite a long time and one thing I like about the card is the fact that it is used for CapitaLand malls and they are almost everywhere. So I enjoy dining taking advantage of the 10x rewards merchants to accumulate the points faster. Imagine getting close to 6.5% rebates on dining. Not to forget their sign up bonus of $60 rebates in vouchers when you spend $1,500. That's a 4% rebate excluding the points you will earn which will convert into vouchers too.
