Another Credit Card Review by GenX @ http://www.GenXGenYGenZ.com

INTRODUCTION

In order to be eligible for the OCBC Premier Voyage MasterCard, you need to be an OCBC Premier Banking customer.

The OCBC Premier Voyage MasterCard is made from Duralumin. Well, I have no idea what the heck duralumin is? So I went googling and this is what I found:

Alloy. Duralumin, strong, hard, lightweight alloy of aluminum, widely used in aircraft construction, discovered in 1906 and patented in 1909 by Alfred Wilm, a German metallurgist; it was originally made only at the company Dürener Metallwerke at Düren, Germany.

Boy, from the definition above, duralumin is like ancient technology, hahaha.

PRO and CONS OF THE OCBC PREMIER VOYAGE MASTERCARD

I shall now tell you the Pro (yes, just 1 pro) of the card – it’s for bragging rights, that’s all, hahaha.

And the Cons –

1. Annual fee RM848. What the hell? Why is there a No.4 present? This card is set to be doomed, hahaha. OCBC should have set the annual fee at RM818. There is no auto waiver mechanism. Even if you spend RM1,000,000 with the card, you need to pay the damn annual fee.

Well, you may argue that you can use your Voyage Miles to offset the annual fee. If this is the case, you are not getting the annual fee waived for FREE but actually paying for it in kind and lose the opportunity to redeem something else for FREE.
