But if you spend on those items overseas (e.g. overseas hospital bills), you can earn 3.2 miles per dollar on those payments, charged in foreign currency.
- However, there is a foreign currency fee of 3.25% that applies to all foreign currency transactions

Final Thoughts:
- If you’re looking for a card with no spending cap on foreign currency purchases, the Maybank World Mastercard is worth considering. It offers non-expiring points, free point conversions, and extremely competitive rates for Caltex petrol. While it might not be your primary card for everyday spending, it’s a great choice for large foreign currency transactions that exceed the spending cap of your other 4 miles per dollar cards.
Credit cards change their T&Cs every so often and it is difficult to stay updated. That’s why I created a Telegram Broadcast where you can receive timely bite-sized updates to get the most out of your spending.
