What is the maximum cashback for OCBC Plus! Visa Credit Card?

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 would like to contribute here that OCBC does have an excellent customer service. In my personal experience their customer service was extremely helpful and able to resolve my queries and concerns almost immediately over the phone. So I would like to give them a thumbs up for the professional communication and speedy customer service experience.

It is a good thing that OCBC cards can obtain instant approval and can be used immediately when you apply via MyInfo and the OCBC Plus! Visa’s Principal card’s S$107 per annum is waived for the first year. To earn an annual fee waiver for your OCBC Plus! Visa Credit Card however, you must spend a minimum of at least S$2,500 in one year starting from the month after your OCBC Plus! Visa Credit Card was issued.

We shop at Fairprice occasionally and we try to use OCBC plus card for point’s accumulation as much as we can. When we are shopping we look out for member’s discounts for selected items. The supermarket also has promotions that allow us to accumulate link points and redeem cooking/ and culinary sets at competitive prices too. A must have for households who frequent Farirpice for their grocery needs.

This is a very good credit card with a zero annual fee so you don’t have to go through the hassle of annual fee waiver as there was no fee to begin with. Also, this card allows you to earn double points in Fairprice which is a fair deal for family groceries.

Most of the vendors accepting this card offer up to 12% rebates at FairPrice Stores, Unity and Warehouse Club and up to 8% rebate at FairPrice online with salary credit. Annual fee is waived for NTUC members and the LinkPoints i accumulate can be used to offset my next purchase at selected Plus! Partners.

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.

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.

A 5% cash rebate on fuel purchases and a 16% instant discount is a great deal for me I must say, the HSBC VISA Platinum Credit Card indeed makes driving more fun for me as i always look forward to the 16% instant discount plus 5% cash rebate on all fuel spend at Caltex and Shell stations

I would recommend the card for use by people who frequently purchase clothing and electronics and also in particular from known on online merchants like AliExpress, Amazon, Lazada, Shopee and Taobao.You get 10X points when you shop at retails for babies and children's wear, clothes, bags and shoes, department stores, electronics and gadgets; which cover almost all retails. Also the OCBC Reward is a $10 rebate for 3600 points which I think is fare.

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.

The AMEX Express Singapore Airlines Solitaire PPS Credit Card gives a First Year Fee Waiver for you to enjoy and also for your supplementary card members. In addition there are no transfer fees and all the KrisFlyer miles you can earn are directly transferred automatically to your KrisFlyer account with no transfer fee. I would recommend this card for these few reasons which could really make the difference.
