6 tips to choose the Credit Card in Malaysia to match your lifestyle with RHB

Choosing the right credit card is more than just picking one with appealing perks. It’s about finding a card that aligns with your spending habits, lifestyle, and financial goals. A well-chosen credit card can help you save money, earn rewards, and enjoy exclusive privileges.

At RHB, we understand that no two individuals are the same, which is why our range of credit cards is tailored to meet a variety of needs, whether you’re a traveller, a commuter, an online shopper, or a dining enthusiast.

Why Your Credit Card Choice Matters

Imagine being rewarded every time you dine out, saving on petrol costs during your daily commute, or enjoying complimentary lounge access while travelling. The right credit card transforms your everyday spending into valuable benefits. However, choosing the wrong one could mean missing out on rewards or paying for features you never use.

RHB’s credit cards are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. For instance, if you’re frequently on the road, the RHB Cash Back Credit Card/-i offers up to 5% cashback on fuel. If you love travelling, the RHB Visa Infinite Credit Card and RHB Premier Visa Infinite Credit Card/-i provides unlimited lounge access and travel insurance.

Tips to Find the Best Credit Card

The key to choosing the right credit card in Malaysia? Identify your spending needs or habits and match them with the card’s features.

Analyse your spending habits

Are you spending more on dining, retail shopping, travel, or fuel? For example, if dining is a significant part of your expenses, the RHB World Mastercard Credit Card/-i is a fantastic option. It not only offers cashback on dining but also includes lifestyle perks like airport lounge access. On the other hand, if you’re an online shopper, the RHB Rewards Credit Card/-i is perfect for earning loyalty points on every transaction.

Understand the different types of credit cards

Cashback cards, such as the RHB Cash BackCredit Card/-i, are ideal for those who want instant savings. Rewards cards, like the RHB Rewards Credit Card/-i, let you earn points redeemable for gifts or discounts. If you’re a frequent traveller and enjoy shopping overseas, the RHB Visa Infinite Credit Card grants 5x Loyalty Points for every RM1 spent.

Compare fees and charges

Look for cards that provide fee waivers upon meeting certain requirements. Some RHB cards offer a lifetime annual fee waiver. However, some RHB cards waive annual fees when you meet the spending requirement. Others like RHB Rewards Credit Card/-i, waive annual fees for a supplementary card.

Evaluate rewards and cashback rates

Think about how these align with your spending patterns. The RHB Visa Infinite Credit Card, for example, provides high loyalty points for users who spend on overseas shopping. If you actively buy groceries and food online, you can opt for RHB Cash Back Credit Card/-i with up to 10% cashback for that category.

Check eligibility requirements

RHB offers credit cards for all income levels. Whether you’re just starting your career or have established yourself financially, there’s an RHB card that fits your profile.

How RHB Stands Out

RHB’s credit cards are not just about features—they’re about making your life easier. With flexible options for different income levels, transparent terms, and a strong digital presence through mobile banking, RHB ensures that managing your credit card is hassle-free.

Also, RHB has a versatile loyalty program called RHB Loyalty Points, where you can earn points from your credit cards and other RHB products that run promotional campaigns.
Whether it’s tracking your expenses, paying your bills, or redeeming rewards, you can do it all with the RHB Mobile Banking app.
