RHB Travel Money Credit Card to rebate 5% on petrol?

You might have seen the recent RHB advertisement about their 5% cash rebates for purchases of any petrol brand at all petrol stations nationwide with their RHB Travel Money Credit Card as below.



Wow! 5% can save us some real money, especially when the petrol price is going up and up nowadays. But wait a minute, there are terms and conditions behind the scene.

You have to aware that:

• This 5% cash rebate is valid only during the "promotion period" from 10 June 2008 to 31 August 2008.
• After that, the cash rebate will reduce to 2% until 31 December 2008.
• The "promotion period" end by 31 December 2008. Any more rebate thereafter? It is not mentioned.
• The Rebate shall be subjected to a limit of RM60 per month for each Principal Card. Both Principal and Supplementary Cardmember’s rebate will be accumulated to a maximum limit of RM60 per Principal credit card account per month.

Now, it looks less attractive, but better than none.

Other credit cards that also give rebate on petrol expenses are:

• CIMB Petronas MasterCard. Click here for details.
• Petronas Maybankard VISA. Click here for details.
• Shell Citibank credit card. Click here for details.
• Standard Chartered Motorist Club Visa Credit Card (BHPetrol). Click here fore details.
• UOB ONE Card (BHPetrol). Click here for details.
  

So far, I find the CIMB Petronas MasterCard which is free for life and provides 2% rebate at Petronas station (rebate value up to RM50 per card per month) is still a better choice.
