Why should I choose RHB Shell Visa Credit Card-i?
Fueling your car these days can be expensive especially if you are always on the road. If you are looking for ways to save money for petrol spending, why not take advantage of a petrol credit card?
Co-branded with Shell, this Islamic credit card offers attractive tiered cashback not just for fuel spending but also for your necessary expenses such as grocery, e-wallet reload, online spending as well as utility payments. Because it’s tiered, the cashback that you may get is therefore fully dependent on how much you spend every month.
Here’s a brief look below at the tiered cashback amount that you may get to earn from fueling at Shell station using this card.
Total Monthly Spend (RM) | Shell Petrol Spending |
2,500 and above | 12% |
1,500 - 2,499.99 | 8% |
800 - 1,499.99 | 5% |
Monthly Cap | RM50 for each tier |
Allow great savings for your everyday essentials
Say, if you are someone who drives less frequently and spends quite a moderate amount on petrol every month, you may find the Shell petrol cashback not exactly beneficial for you. However, that doesn’t mean that this card isn’t worth being the next best cashback credit card for your monthly expenses.
If you are a big spender who most of the time spends thousands a month on groceries, online spending, utility payments and e-wallet reload, the RHB Shell Visa Credit Card-i offers you up to 5% cash back with a monthly cap of RM50 on these categories. You may also earn 0.2% cash back on other retail purchases.
Total Monthly Spend (RM) | Groceries, Online, E-Wallet Top-Up and Utilities | Other Retail Spending |
2,500 and above | 5% | 0.2% |
1,500 - 2,499.99 | 2% | 0.2% |
800 - 1,499.99 | 1% | 0.2% |
Monthly Cap | RM50 | Unlimited |
