Perhaps HSBC Gold Mastercard? Now they are doing promotion around Midvalley, 3X reward points.
Heard that so far their CS also very well.

Informed that the new design Exclusive Sony Card will be launched at Maybank Treat Fair on 23-26 July. Most probably will apply the card at the spot if the design is cool, anyway, there is some freebies (AC Millan mini football and Kaka AC Milan jersey no.22*) after the card approval.

Auction, Wheel of Treats, Free gift for spending above an amount and card approval is making me feel really excited for the fair.

Check this out at www.treatsfair.com

* Only the thing i don't know is the word "First 100 My Sony Member with confirmation via My Sony UMAG mobile ID" in the Exclusive Kaka AC Milan Jersey, can someone clarify this?

They want to check through either your business is active or not, try to provide the account statement that your company using.

They ask u whether a degree holder is for fill in the form only, no need to provide the real copy of cert 1, but some card such as DA required minimum a degree holder to apply, some bank such as Maybank offer new card application for freshies if the applicant can show the degree and Employer's offer letter. check with the bank 1st you want to apply.

Yes, AMEX not widely accepted in Malaysia is the only disadvantage, i also familiar listen such kind of word "Sorry, Sir, we don't accept American Express", suggested you can apply for 1 MC, 1 VISA and 1 AMEX for backup, choose the most suitable card's offer for you.

Btw, normally big company or grocery market will accept AMEX, that's why they make it 5X for all groceries, so don't worry when you deal with some big company. Give it a try before using MC and VISA

But noticed that even that was no financial charge apply, try not to delay the payment and pay minimum, as your record will become not good in the bank's review, it will affected when next time you apply for loan or new credit card.

Bring your CC >1 year and IC photocopy then enough already.

Just came out from there, Midvalley Parking all full !! Wheel of fortune is spinning, Maybank staff promoting cards, people buying to grab the free gifts, even it is Thursday why i feel like Sunday? Everybody no need to work ??!!
I love rewards, especially from Maybank 1

@tinkerbel
Most of them can be pay by using TP + Card, not check so detail wor, sure lots of stuff.


Just now apply for the new Limited Edition Sony Card only. Will go there again later to collect the card if approved, hope can get la, the free gift is AC Milan Kaka jersey.

Ya, i often curious why only the IT merchants always request the consumer to pay the merchant fee for them, is that someone start like this then the people follows? I think most of the shops that accept credit card must pay the merchant fee but they didn't ask the consumer to pay extra 2-3%.

For IT merchant, they actually can mark up the item's price by 2-3%, but not let the consumers feel not happy because they noticed there are some "hidden" fees on Credit Card payment.

Yes, it using Wave Terminal, but it can accept paypass. tried before with my CIMB Petronas, it works, btw, wonder the CIMB paypass logo is located at the back of the card, the cashier say it can't work when first time looking on the card's front.

Quite confusing in your description, u said got ur company name, then that is not ur company?
I assume that you are a staff in the company, actually if your boss apply for his/her company, you probably will get 1 if he is apply for u, you can spent and claim company if you are using to spend the thing related with company (e.g entertainment with customer, buying company assets)

There is some corporate card other than those personal card that we are using, but i think less company apply for their staff (my company didn't apply for me).

1k is totally ridiculous, not enough to buy a camera also. By the way, ur Ikhwan have different CL issit? If your Ikhwan CL is high and your expenses is not more than that, why not combine both card together to get a better limit?

Sony Visa actually is a co-brand card, which means it is the VISA card, but it offers much privilege when u use it to buy the sony items. You will get extra warranties, 10x treat points depends on their promotion. You also can find that there is generic VISA credit card offered by maybank at their website, which is not stick with any company

AMEX is a generic card, it never stick with any company naturally, the good thing is, most of the AMEX credit card offer you to get 2x point (spend RM1 get 2 point) but u have to check the maybank credit card website for more detail, it will stated every privilege and benefit for each of their card.

You no need to force yourself to "Buy" Sony product because you have Sony Card, if u purchase other non-Sony product you still can get the Treat Point, so no worries.

If you really want to waive your annual fee for life, just make sure this card doesn't have some "hidden" requirement when giving you Free for Life term. CIMB DA, CIMB Petronas, Maybank Petronas, Maybank Sony, AMEX Gold CC they are all offer Free for Life without any condition. Most of the citibank credit card require you call and ask for annual fee waiver, so consider before apply, you have to call them every year or else they will charge the annual fee on you.

For your income u can apply for most of the Gold Credit Card already.

You can increase CL consider lucky liao, they want me to fill a form, attach my salary slip and IC photocopy, and they said the decision is on them, not 100% will be approved.

Will suggest using Citibank, last time i use this card to rent a car at UK, try some Malaysia bank credit card but doesn't work.

If not sure whether why it is like that, you can ask the company by e-mailing them or call them. But I can sure that, even we go to their counter (last time i do like that in UK), they will request our driving license, and then have to fill in a form, like declare if anything happen (accident, scratch on the car, get summoned by local police), the car rental company have the rights to deduct the extra amount to repay these, yes the CVV and card expire date need to fill in, i use Hertz

Yup, agree with you, can see the HSBC bank anywhere at europe countries

Maybank have update its Sony Visa Card already, now with limited edition Sony Card. Check this out at Maybank2u.com.my

If you walk in their branch and apply, 1 week u get the card.

Last time Hong Leong Bank also got this kind of credit card, but don't know why it no longer at the market anymore
Yes, the idea quite good, as many road user no need to top up the amount, and the fee will charge to the card automatically, plus it got 2x point.

Consider these cards

CIMB Direct Access - 2% Petrol Rebate (all Petrol Station)
AMEX Gold CC - 5x Membership Rewards point (all Petrol Station)
Citibank Shell Credit Card VISA - up to 5% Rebate

There are some more cards... but these cards above is evergreen promotion, which means until further notice

Ya, agree with you, the 5x don't have time limit, even i spend RM 10 at Carrefour, i still get 50 point. Petrol and groceries can't be avoid in our life, the AMEX Gold CC gives all the purchase at there 5x point, other bank didn't offer such good promotion. Other than that 2x point also can mean 1.0% cash rebate, Optiplex330 can u find a bank offer a normal cash rebate rate more than 1.0% (no expire time)?
