6% Cashback
Everyone loves a great cashback credit card, and we at Ringgitplus are no different. For all your spending at the buying groceries at the supermarket, dining out at your favourite restaurant, or online purchases made locally and overseas, you will get 6% cashback on your purchases.
Unfortunately, the amount you stand to receive per month is capped at RM50. In our opinion, it's still great value - you can keep the extra cash in a savings account, fixed deposit, or pay for the week's fill of petrol. Like the saying goes, "A little goes a long way!".
