Autumn is one of the most anticipated seasons for seafood lovers, especially those who look forward to enjoying the rich, delicate flavour of seasonal hairy crab. If a special seafood meal has been on the dining wish list, Public Bank Visa Credit Card users have an opportunity to make the experience a little more rewarding with the Hairy Crab Autumn Culinary Delicacy Promotion, running from 15 October to 30 November 2026.

Through this dining promotion, eligible Public Bank Visa Credit Cardmembers can enjoy 10% cash back when spending at least RM400 on a qualifying hairy crab dining transaction in a single receipt at selected restaurants. It is a welcome opportunity for diners who want to enjoy a seasonal culinary treat while getting some money back on their restaurant bill.

Whether the plan is a celebratory dinner with family, a gathering with friends or simply an opportunity to try a sought-after seasonal delicacy, this promotion offers another reason to consider a hairy crab meal during the campaign period.

Enjoy Seasonal Hairy Crab Dining with Extra Savings

Hairy crab is a seasonal delicacy appreciated for its distinctive flavour and rich roe. When it becomes available, seafood enthusiasts often take the opportunity to visit restaurants that feature it on their menus. However, a premium seasonal dining experience can come with a substantial bill, particularly when ordering for several people.

This is where the Public Bank promotion may come in handy. Eligible cardmembers can receive 10% cash back on qualifying spending of RM400 or more in a single receipt at participating restaurants. Instead of paying the full amount without any additional benefit, diners can potentially recover part of their spending through the campaign.

For example, a qualifying RM400 transaction could earn RM40 in cash back, provided the cardmember has registered successfully and the campaign’s allocation and other conditions are met. A larger qualifying bill may also earn cash back, but the maximum reward is RM80 per cardmember per participating month.

The offer is particularly worth considering for people who are already planning a premium seafood meal. Rather than making an unnecessary purchase just to qualify, diners can arrange a suitable meal, check the available hairy crab options and enjoy the promotion when the spending fits their budget.

Five Selected Restaurants to Consider

The promotion is available at five selected dining destinations. Each offers an option for cardmembers who want to explore seasonal hairy crab dining.

1. Dragon-i

Dragon-i is one of the participating restaurant brands to consider when planning a meal featuring Chinese cuisine. Diners can check with their preferred outlet to find out whether hairy crab is available during their intended visit and whether the restaurant can accommodate their dining plans.

2. Shanghai Restaurant at JW Marriott KL

For those looking for a hotel dining experience, Shanghai Restaurant at JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur is another participating destination. It may be a suitable choice for a special occasion, a family meal or a gathering where diners want to enjoy a more formal restaurant setting.

3. IWC Aquastic

IWC Aquastic is also included in the campaign. Before visiting, diners should contact the restaurant directly to confirm its current hairy crab offerings, availability and any reservation requirements.

4. Grand Harbour

Grand Harbour provides another option for cardmembers interested in enjoying the seasonal delicacy. It is worth checking the restaurant’s menu and availability in advance, particularly when planning a meal around a specific date.

5. Fahrenheit 88

Fahrenheit 88 is listed among the selected participating dining destinations. Cardmembers should confirm the relevant restaurant or dining outlet, hairy crab availability and applicable arrangements before making their way there.

Hairy crab is a seasonal item, so availability is not guaranteed at every participating restaurant throughout the campaign. Supply may differ by location and date. It is therefore advisable to contact the restaurant before visiting rather than assuming the delicacy will be available on the day.

How to Qualify for the 10% Cash Back

Before heading out for a meal, eligible cardmembers must complete the campaign registration process. Simply paying with a Public Bank Visa Credit Card is not enough to qualify.

There are two registration methods:

• Online registration: Register through PBe using the campaign keyword PBBS.
• SMS registration: Send PBBS to 68333.

Registration must be completed during the campaign period, from 15 October to 30 November 2026, using the mobile phone number registered with Public Bank. Cardmembers should make sure their details are accurate and follow the registration instructions carefully.

Successful online registration will receive an acknowledgement, while successful SMS registration will receive an SMS confirmation from the bank. Standard telecommunications charges apply to the registration SMS and are payable by the cardmember.

Keep in mind that sending a registration message does not automatically mean the bank has successfully received and accepted the registration. Supplementary credit card mobile numbers cannot be used to register, and incomplete, inaccurate, duplicate or late registrations may be rejected.

Public Bank Debit Cardmembers are not eligible for this promotion. The campaign is open to eligible principal Public Bank Visa Credit Cardmembers, including qualifying cardmembers who work for the Public Bank Group and its specified related parties under the campaign terms.

Important Spending Conditions to Remember

Once registration is successful, cardmembers must make a qualifying transaction at one of the participating restaurants.

The minimum spend is RM400 in a single receipt for hairy crab dining. Splitting the bill into separate receipts should not be assumed to qualify, even if the combined amount exceeds RM400.

The campaign offers a maximum of RM80 cash back per cardmember per participating month and RM160 throughout the entire campaign. This means the promotion can provide additional value for eligible diners who plan qualifying meals across both campaign months, subject to the monthly allocation and all other requirements.

Supplementary card transactions are aggregated with the principal cardmember’s qualifying transactions. However, any eligible cash back will be credited to the principal cardmember’s credit card account.

There is also a limited overall cash back budget of RM30,000. The allocation is divided into two periods:

• 15 to 31 October 2026: RM10,000.
• 1 to 30 November 2026: RM20,000.

Cash back is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Meeting the minimum spending requirement does not guarantee a reward if the relevant allocation has been exhausted.

The bank states that qualifying transactions are tracked according to the applicable campaign months. Unused qualifying transactions cannot be carried forward to the next participating month to meet the transaction requirements. Cardmembers should therefore read the full terms and conditions before planning multiple visits.

Cash back is expected to be credited to the registered principal credit card account within four to twelve weeks after the end of each tracking month. The credit should appear on the card statement under the description “Hairy Crab Autumn Culinary Delicacy with PB Visa Credit Card”.

If a qualifying transaction is subsequently reversed after cash back has been credited, the cardmember must reimburse the bank for the entire cash back payment received. The reward is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash in advance or other goods.

Why Should You Enjoy This Promotion?

The biggest attraction is the opportunity to combine a seasonal dining experience with a practical saving. Hairy crab is not an everyday menu choice for many diners, so the campaign gives eligible cardmembers an additional incentive to plan a special meal during the autumn season.

It can also make a group dining occasion more rewarding. Friends or family members who are already planning to spend RM400 or more on a qualifying meal can benefit from the cash back without needing to make unrelated purchases to reach the threshold.

Another advantage is the choice of participating dining destinations. With five listed options, cardmembers can compare menus, locations and dining arrangements before deciding where to go. Checking availability beforehand can also help avoid disappointment, especially during busy dining periods.

However, the best way to enjoy the deal is to plan responsibly. A RM400 minimum spend is still a substantial dining expense, and the cash back should be treated as a bonus rather than a reason to overspend. Choose a restaurant that suits the occasion, confirm the seasonal menu, register successfully and keep the receipt and card transaction details for reference.
