which bank povides fastest cc approval?

What's your personal feel about this whole issue? I can think of 3 outcomes. Which outcome is the likeliest? Any other possible outcomes?
1. The Government reverses it's Budget proposal in view of pressure from the public and card issuers. I cannot recall any proposals being withdrawn from previous Budget annoucements.
2. The card issuers absorbs the service fees.
3. The card issuers pass on the service fees to the consumers.

hi guys. i have cimb mastercard, rosak already. i contacted customer service, he said
"Please be informed that  for the replacement of the credit card,  in the process of the replacement, the existing credit card will be blocked and the new credit card will be issued. You had to notify the merchant personally on the new credit card number for any auto bills charged to the credit card. "

1. so, does it means i wont get my old number?

2. what's the process to replace the card? do i have to go to any cimb branch to return the damaged card? or i need to go to card centre at damansara?? so far meh!!

3. if i want to update my billing address, can i do that just by simply calling the card centre?

some update to share w/ u guys:

i just called cimb card centre. so this is the answer for my own q:

1. yup, i will get new number.

2. nope, u just have to call them. new card will be sent to ur office/home/nearest branch. u choose.

3. yup, i just did it on phone.

gud. thx for clarifying.. mb the CS officer was lazy to entertain me tat time. so she asked me to go to the nearest branch instead.

so, is it RM50 charges been imposed on replacement of card?

Most probably Citibank.
I hope 1PM will reverse it. It's not like they have never done such thing before. I mean in the past they announced they are going to do this and that and a while later they took a 180° turn and said they are not going ahead with it.

I personally feel that there is very little chance for the bank to absorb the cost on its customers' behalf. But then i'm not ruling out on it completely either. If 1PM ignore all public objection and decide to go ahead with his genius plan, i hope he will at least make some changes to his initial plan and only tax those who actually owe credit card money to the bank.

Bro, i dont think so, this is PM Najib not PM Badawi (a certain case recently when his young personal advisor got accepted as Petronas BOD, although the BOD previously resisted using the scholarship issue)!!!

anyone know how long it took CIMB to update their credit card statement online at CIMBclicks? I cant even pay back !

Sorry. But i do not get what is the relevance of what you said above to what i posted earlier.

..i mean the flip flop policies were in the past, i think the service tax is to stay.. not that i'm happy about it...

All the card issuers say they are waiting for directive from BNM. When do you think BNM will sort out this issue and issue a directive?

In today's TheStar, Najib already said that they won't review the fee so soon ... means they will go ahead with this plan coz it seems the gov needs the RM50 million! Gosh ! Gov got no money after years of public funds wastage and buying RM40k laptops. (I just need to rub it in)

So finally he show the tru intention.. ie to tax us for $$... lol
Initially it was package with a very nice reason  "to Promote prudent spending" ? 

surely the RM50 service tax is going to stay, and most likely banks will push the burden to their customers. The only thing that we can do is to terminate all the credit cards and use cash 

if we have two cards with share credit limit with a bank and in one of the card we have BT facility; is it possible to transfer that BT facility to another card.
