It is a brilliant idea as we can "lock in" the 15% cash back first. I have been thinking about this since last month but I have not taken any action yet. Guess what, I am going to buy vouchers from Parkson, hoping to get 15% rebate + bonuslink points when purchasing the vouchers + bonuslink points again when presenting the vouchers to make payment.

Some banks will give you other pre-approved cards. It is better if you call MBB to check the status and cancel the card, otherwise the service tax could be imposed.

JJ voucher has no expiry date

If you only want to buy some books, CDs, DVDs or Blu-rays, then you can just place an order on their website and they can ship the items directly to your designated address. For all other items such as electronics, cosmetics etc., you will need globaleshop, vPost or Globeshop service as Amazon.com cannot ship these items outside United States.

Amex Gold CC will have a separate bill? I checked my online statement, looks like it is not bundled together in my other MBB CCs.

CIMB Group Says RM50 Service Tax On Credit Card Little Disappointing


KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 8 (Bernama) -- CIMB Group says it has some reservation about the government's plan to put a RM50 service tax on credit card.

"We have some reservation because obviously we were hoping that the tax is not necessary because at the end of the day, the idea is to reduce the cash holdings and increase plastic and other forms of payments," its group chief executive Datuk Seri Nazir Razak said.

"This is something that we are little bit disappointed but of course, we have to comply," he told reporters here after a signing ceremony today for a RM50 million term loan facility from CIMB Bank Bhd and UBS AG to JCY HDD Technology Sdn Bhd.

To promote prudent spending, the government has proposed a RM50 service tax a year on each principal credit card and charge card and a RM25 service tax a year on each supplementary card effective January 1 next year.

Asked if it is possible for CIMB Bank to absorb the services tax, Nazir said "it is just a matter of economics."

The bank is hoping to achieve 1.2 million credit card holders by end of the year from the current 1.1 million customers.

Malaysian Rating Corporation Bhd (MARC) recently said that the service tax is unlikely to have an impact on the overall transaction value of cardholders over the medium term.

Cardholders are more likely to cancel extra cards to minimise their tax burden since the tax is proposed to be levied annually on a per card basis, it said.

MARC also believed that the proposed tax will result in an aversion to applying for multiple cards on the part of new applicants and thus the growth rate of issued credit card will lose momentum from the compounded annual growth rate of 13.2 per cent recorded over 2004-2008.

As for card issuers, currently comprising 21 banks and three non-bank financial institutions, this tax will have mixed effects depending on their existing market share and brand positioning, it added.
