Platinum card my foot, all levels of credit cards get the same service if issued by the same bank. The differences are just bells and whistles thrown in to make the cards look different so as to charge a higher annual fee. e.g. discounted airfare, discounts in restaurant etc that are meant to attract you to spend more.
What credit card users should be looking at is the level of customer service that is offerred by the different banks. Try a credit card from Citibank, compare the level of service offered by them to other banks and you will immediately notice the difference.
I have a normal Citibank Visa that I got a long time ago, the service that I get from it is so much better than the crap service I get from my HSBC Platinum (my foot) Visa card.

I've done some calculation sometime ago... I noticed that if you ignore those upfront discounts, most rebates are about 0.3% of what you actually spend.
Now I know the Everyday card have up to 3% rebates, but what about the rest?
I agree with Parchiao on the level of service provided by the banks are similar regardless of types of card you have. At least I don't see any difference. However, my experience with citybank and HSBC are different from his encounter, I received pretty satisfactory services from both banks.

one impt benefit is that some platinum card has a seperate service telephone line and much easier connect.
not really. The pay tax credit card actually earn money. If I pay by normal means I also pay X dollars. Pay by credit card, I get POINTS and FREE vouchers every month.
For me, i pay almost everything by cash, as i do not find the points and vouchers attractive. cc are largely for expensive items.
How much u spend to accumuate to get 1k shopping vocher? There's once my point(uob) hit 10k plus, but can't reach 1k shopping vocher.
She is a different league lah... u spend 10k in a year, she spend 10k in a single receipt... :bsmilie:
I guess she spend more than 100k in a year :think:.
The 10k plus points need to spend more than S$50k, S$5 = 1point.
last i redeemed from DBS,
i had about 35k worth of points.
IIRC, about 1500-2000pts allows u a $50 taka voucher.
it comes to about 800+ worth of vouchers.
ok, when i state 1k, i rounded off.sorry.:embrass:
this thread is not about how much i spent in a year please.
but seriously, i do get alot of shopping vouchers every now and then.that's why i always use my cc.:embrass:
but please, DO NOT allow you bills to rollover.
if you wanna get a lens and thinking of using cc and pay minimum every month, u go do the maths.
I always clear my bills each month, except for once when i was overseas and forgot to pay for 2 months. A S$50+ bill eventually become S$100. Banks are official LOAN SHARKS, the interest rate for cc is 24% pa and if forget to pay on time, they'll slap at least $35 to the total bill.

forgot to pay no probs.just give them a call.$35 late bill, give them a call.
they are more afraid of losing you then you losing them.
moreover, it's the cc wars era, you dont like a card, unsubscribe it.there's always better cards out there, though some, are strictly by invitation only.
loan sharks comment, i cant agree more.
i try to pay by CC as much as possible, all those can use CC i'll use CC, be it insurance, food, shopping (for myself)
but some things not worth it to use CC, eg transport, coffeeshop, convenience shop, supermarket (coz i always spend below $20 there)
in the end only can earn below 100 points a month, some months maybe only 10+ points
but i do find that UOB platinium got it's own number, very fast pick up 1. if i'm not wrong citibank platinium and normal card no diff

if you forgot pay, why shouldn't the bank be able to charge you a fee?I always clear my bills each month, except for once when i was overseas and forgot to pay for 2 months.
