To manage wealth appropriately, sometimes it may be necessary to have a single team dedicated to just your wealth management. This may be scary but it is actually a real practice to have what is called a family office, which can often be found in a family office network, to manage your wealth. This means that you should have at least 1 million dollars to manage, and is a way to have a team that you trust to manage your wealth. There are many family office conferences where you can learn more. U.S. Postal Service Change of Address Joseph J Tramontana is from Hamilton New Jersey and served as a Business Administrator.

Update of My Bank C's Cash Rebate Credit Card

6:52 PM  Pisstol Aer   Labels:
Currently, I am having the cash rebate credit card from Bank C and Bank O. 
 
I just received my new Bank O's card in December 2013 for 1% rebate for whatever retail charges into the card.  I have been holding Bank C's for three years and it provides 5% rebate on petrol, 2% rebate on mobile phone bills & hypermarkets' shopping while only 0.3% rebate on other retail spending.  To optimize the rebate to be received, I have diverted other credit retail charges to Bank O's card to enjoy higher return.

Hypermarket 3,500 2.0% 70 1.0% 35 2.0% 70

Total 17,200 1.5% 264 1.0% 172 1.9% 334

As can be seen on the hypothetical spending shown above, after optimization, I shall be able to receive more than RM300 cash rebate per year.  The rebate is yet to consider annual fee and government service tax.
 
Today, I received my new Bank C's card as my existing card is going to expire soon.  As usual, I called up Bank C for annual fee waiver and they rejected my request this time.  Reason being there is no more annual fee waiver promotion for Bank C cash rebate card.  Without annual fee waiver, the picture of my cash rebate will be as follow:

- Annual Fee (Principal + Sub)     295   0   295
- Government Service Tax     75   75   150
Net Rebate Received     -106   97   -111

Wow, it looks pretty bad.  At the end of a year, I get nothing but have to top up some more.  Based on this scenario, my decision is very straight forward.  Cancel Bank C's card and divert all charges to Bank O's card which I will get:

Yes, the rebate to be received will reduced substantially, but I shall still get back something in terms of "cash discount" rather than "cost up".  I understand that Bank O did provide spending incentive (retail charges over RM10,000 per year) to offset the tax previously.  Not sure whether it is still valid.  Anyhow, the table above is showing the worst case scenario.  Not a bad option after all.
