Since October 2019, OCBC Mastercard credit cards no longer allow rebates for top-ups to the mobile wallet, GrabPay. DBS, UOB, OCBC, and Bank of China are amongst banks that have recently adopted the same movement.

Given the fact that rebates and rewards are typically awarded based on MCCs, when it was changed by Amex and Mastercard in December 2019, a few cards instantly stopped awarding points or cashback for that transaction.
