CONCLUSION
So what have you learned from previous pages? Answer – FREE IS THE BEST! Hahaha.
And my long time die hard followers know that many FREE FOR LIFE credit cards are far more superior than many Premier Credit Cards especially for Local Spending. Examples – (1) FREE FOR LIFE HLB VI for dining, (2) FREE FOR LIFE Maybank 2 Gold/Platinum Cards for Guaranteed 5% Cash Back on Weekends, (3) FREE FOR LIFE Maybank Ikhwan AMEX Platinum-i guaranteed 8% Cash Back for Online, (4) FREE FOR LIFE Alliance Virtual Platinum for eWallets and Online, (5) FREE FOR LIFE Maybank Ikwan MasterCard for 5% cash back for petrol & groceries, (6) FREE FOR LIFE RHB Premier VI for Overseas, (7) FREE For First 2 Years Maybank Mercedes Benz VI for Lounge Access and etc.

Yes, both the CIMB Travel Platinum and CIMB e Credit Card are Entry Level Credit Cards where one need less than RM30K annual income to qualify. But if you are my long time die hard follower, you will know many of the FREE FOR LIFE Entry Level credit cards are far more superior that Premier Credit Cards!!!
Basically both the CIMB Travel Platinum and CIMB eCC are great to compliment your FREE FOR LIFE Hong Leong Bank Visa Infinite and/or Maybank Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Platinum AMEX.
Having said the above, for essential expenses such as Petrol, Groceries, Lazada, Shopee, Grab Rides, Grab Food and etc, I would reckoned you will earn more in returns if you use Cash Back Credit Cards. So click here and read my article titled The Best Cash Back Credit Cards in Malaysia For Petrol 2025 (it is not only for Petrol – my long time die hard followers know that the title of my articles are never what they seemed but there is more to it).
And like I mentioned in many of my previous articles/tutorials, if you are spending less than RM3K per month, best you play cash back and don’t waste your time on air miles.
However if you are an air mile fan, I have once again shown you that FREE FOR LIFE Entry Level credit cards can be freaking excellent to earn FREE Air Miles.
