Advisory : Payment Method - Cash or Credit Card or Instalment Plan

[lufu]

HSBC has a 10% rebate now with Dickson.
Maybank has 1 month instalment free

I would suggest DBS/UOB for local banks & Citibank/ANZ/Maybank for overseas banks. Best if one could try using a combi of 2 or more cards for "bigger purchases"? Hmm...perhaps THG will tie-up with DBS again early next year for a 34mths 0% interest free installment plan???

Rolex boutique has instalment plans for Citibank and local banks' credit card, interest free.

i split my bill using TWO manhattan card, $4k each, got back $400 total. If u got one card only, apply now and get $80 cash rebate when approved and activated.

manhattan card is pretty good... any amount above $3K earns u 5% cash rebate, capped at $200 per quarter. if u spend $4k, u get back $200, which is a straight 5% off the watch price

Yeah Agreed wit bro satch.. Did a bit of hm work for credit card promo dis 2 weeks. I did dat yday when I got my Gmt yday.. Charge $4k n cash back $200 straight away. As Ocbc has a promo for return air tickets fr hk if u charge $6500.. I utilize the promo.. Other cash bank credit card only gives 0.5% for retail purchases. U might wanna conside those cards dat gives u more points which might be more worthwhile if there's something u been eyeing to redeem rather den cash rebate.

Credit card for watch people

Is the 10% rebate by Maybank at Dickson one of the best?

I remember ANZ giving rebates as well.

What other credit cards are there?

My friend just got hers at the Rolex Boutique at Hilton Hotel,also charge to her Citibank 0% interest free instalment.I think shuseido says,most of the boutique do have such option now.

[appie]

Stand Chart had been offering their cc members 0% installment on any merchants with min purchase of $500 for last 2 GSS .. Guess this coming GSS will have same promo =)

[shuseido]

I believe most AD like Sincere Watches, THG, Dicksons, etc would offer 0% installments for Rolex. However, you might get lesser discount if you paying by CC instalments compare with paying cash.

GST, NETS, Credit Card

Guys,

How many of you face this situation when buying stuff nowadays?

Pay $A if cash
Pay $B if card (most likely 2%)

OR

Pay $A + 7% GST

The recent SITEX show created a buzz and with such a big scale show; sure to have complaints.

A guy was charged 7% extra (claimed to be GST by the shop at SITEX) and it was then found at another shop; the price published should be the retailed RRP (inclusive of GST). This is when someone found out that all GST registered companies are not allowed to published prices excluding GST.

At the same time; someone posted at HWZ that NETS once mentioned merchant are not supposed to pass the charges to consumers; same goes for credit card companies, so where does this brings us?

Anyone can confirm the NETS and CC portion? GST one is confirmed cos I checked at IRAS site already.

most well-said.

Agreed x2
