Is there agreement need to be signed if credit card is applied though this method? It would not stop me from closing my TD after 1 month.
Yes, the cc will be closed once the FD/TD is uplifted

How do you work out that 2.5% calculation? Do they actually give you cash back? Or in lieu of some over-priced goods?
*
based on 200 MR points = RM1 for pay with points here
RM40 (5x points = 200) can get RM1 back, so it's 2.5%

of course you can redeem for RM50 vouchers which require less than 10k MR points
i don't see why anyone wants to redeem RM50 vouchers which require more than 10k though sweat.gif

Regarding Telekom, does it include normal house telephone and Streamyx? If yes, does TM got any auto-debit facility charging to AMEX?

As for annual fee, it is only free for 3 yrs and then it is RM238 so that will take some wind out of this card. And I hate having to ask for exemption because it felt like begging.

AFAIK, Alliance has no expire date. But as mentioned, the rebate are tiered and only up to RM5000 (1.36% all in).
*
there's no AF for AMEX Gold CC, it's free for life with no conditions attached

the one with AF is AMEX Gold charge card

hi guys.

would like to ask if there is any difference in signing up for a CC during a roadshows in shopping malls, rather than a visit to the banks?

Still abit doubtful if i sud sign for CCs.

Regards

Basically you can get free gift biggrin.gif
If you use it as if you are using the cash which u hv in the bank, then go for it

Thanks for correcting my oversight. I was looking at the charge card instead.

I don't have any MB card because I did hear a few horror stories before, basically billing mistakes. So how are their service nowadays?
*
been using MBB cc since 2003, no prob so far
except longer waiting period to call CS (but it depends on what time u call, I hv no prob calling early in the morning)

So how do you pay AMEX (not MBB AMEX)? Sending checks through the post isn't exactly a attractive option.

As for overseas transaction. How does AMEX's exchange rate compares with MC/VISA? And how's the administration charges?
*
U can pay it using M2U, just like the normal MBB cc
as for the overseas charges, it's definitely higher than master and visa, 2.5% or above if not mistaken

asking a noob question here.

What is "Verified by Visa"? I heard it's for online shopping security purpose.

Went through first post, but couldn't find any info on this. And doesn't understand well how it works from google search.
*
it's just an additional layer of security for websites that support it
you are required to enter a PIN number (the same PIN when you sign up for Verified by Visa) before you are allow to complete the payment

if that's the case, meaning i'll just need to key in an additional PIN when purchase anything online?
Hmm, i don't see the extra security purpose here. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
*
hehe, the extra security is that you'll need to key in the additional PIN lor (people feels safer when required to do more verifications ma sweat.gif )
although not all websites support that

China Union Pay as its name imply, is use mainly in China
U can apply for HSBC, Citi or UOB oso, but some of the cards need to call to waive AF
UOB has minimum swipe requirements if not mistaken

u shud decide depends on what's ur main usage

@tinkerbel
have you registered you mobile phone with SCB? u'll need to walk in to any branch to have them key in into the system if not mistaken (the number you've filled in during CC application will not be automatically entered into the system)

after that you shud be able to register thru the website with ease
