You should look at it in concurrence with which savings account you are planning to put your salary in. Which can give you a better saving interest if you use their CC.

Ignore me if the account you decided don't need CC spending

It depends on your preferences. Can you hit the minumum spendings? Can you fulfil the other requirements of the various credit cards to enjoy the benefits they offer?

Finally....cancel the cards the next year and get something else unless they waive that annual fee for you ;)

OBC card is the better option that you have here as suggested by others the pay of depends. Cards wi...
