Petrol soonyeah

Malaysia has been enjoying one of the cheapest petrol in the world. As crude oil price keep challenging the ceiling. The subsidy has been reduced. As for now, petrol is priced at RM2.70 per liter. I think it is time for me to review any soonyeah to ease the petrol price burden. So far I have found 3 soonyeah.

First is Direct Access Mastercard. It gives you 2% rebate on all petrol station iregardless of any brand. This give the most flexibility to choose which petrol company you want to use. The rebate is capped with a maximum of RM50 per card per month. You will need to use RM2500 of petrol to reach the cap. One important thing to mentioned, Direct Access credit card is free for life. No fees for maintaining the card.

The following two soonyeah ties you up with certain brand of petrol company.

Shell Citibank Credit Card. This card give you 1.5%-5% rebate. The rebate amount depends on few crititeria. Card type - Classic or Gold and Carried Forward balance. Visit the Citibank site which there is a calculator to count how much the rebate using this card.

Lastly, PETRONAS Maybankard Visa
This card don't give you rebate but give you more Treatspoint and services instead. 5x Treatspoint (limited time till 31July2008), free Touch n Go Zing card, free annual fee and free auto assist.
