[retribution678]

Boutique discount is quite lousy.....still prefer ADs

[Fabiannyo]

Cash is still king.. No need for installment for such luxury items

[Metroplex]

Credit card unless cash is cheaper.

It actually all depend on the AD or 2nd hand shop.
Mine was quoted 12.5k for the Sub TT and when I ask they say cash payment, and when i ask about credit card payment. they say will not charge additional.

My initial thought:

1. the price quoted alrdy factor in the transac fee of credit card.
2. I shld be able to ask for more discount if I were to use fully cash payment.

In the end, I use a Amex card which give 5% rebate & 2 stanchar Manhattan card which giver 3% rebate each.

I got my sub TT at 12,025 after a calculated of $475 rebate from my cards.

all depend on your calculation.

Do banks still give rewards point if the purchase is on an instalment plan?

I always thought they did not.

Yes correct, most card don't give you reward point once you go for IPP.

Credit cards for rebate. Cash for pre owned.

I think if you pay off the installments in time, most CC are much of the same. The problems come if there is a default in payment

[quincymmx]

0% installment

[jimmyl]

Credit Card with 0% installment plan

[legacygts]

Credit card 0% installment..can clock points

[hotgti]

Cash!

[caramellatte]

Between cash and credit caed full payment, I will go for the latter if there is no difference in the price. Why? There are miles/rebate to be earned through credit card as compared to cold hard cash.

[charmaine_llee]

Credit card, unless there is substantial discount for using cash

[lefthandpath]

cash. cos my credit limit is still the same over the years but the watches I buy now is price double my credit card limit.
