1st post of the 1st page ... there should be a list of the various cc currency conversion factor.

The FAQ from UOB seems to indicate that the service tax is due on the cc anniversary date, and not 1/1/2010.
Read the Q6, and the A6.

..yeah, hope so...

ya, tht is what im looking for.

A Hye said, it is separated from all other range of HSBC credit cards.


Indeed the current version of HSBC Premier Mastercard still bears the "World", just that it is printed on beside the Mastercard logo now.

why is HSBC not a Worldcard issuer? I also notice that HSBC has the worst range of credit cards around. I mean, all they have is Classic, Gold, VI, MC Premier.

@winner

Got free lunch...Just need open your eyes big big and see...do BT and put the money in the Maxis shares..earn worr

It is. Just that HSBC Malaysia is not. HSBC USA, HSBC Canada, HSBC Japan, HSBC Australia all issue real Premier World Mastercard, just to name a few.

Good to learn above, got to call UOB CS manager and pester him to give me the RM50 waiver, haha

I also started holding UOB Gold Visa card in 1991 when I first started work and they upgraded to Plat when they launched the card. I remember the first time I used the Plat card to buy a Nokia phone, the sales manager was so impressed with it. Nowadays who cares what card you have.

AMEX a big no no.

MBB the best card to use overseas. Even though Alliance claims that there is no admin fees for overseas transactions whereas MBB charges are 0.5%, after conversion MBB rate is lower. Maybe is because the exchange rate for Alliance's is higher than MBB's. Confirm this when I use both MBB and Alliance in SG few month back. But do note, Alliance have 2X reward for overseas transaction and therefore not much diff.

HSBC Premier MC starting CL only RM30K? Don't one have to have at least RM200K in some kind of deposit with HSBC to qualify for Premier Account? I would expect a higher CL since my HSBC Plat CL higher RM30K the day I got the card and I don't even have a single sen deposited with them.


You have SCB JustOneCard that's why Actually I do like CIMB/DA MC because their cards are truly FOC and always have special offer at MPH and get 2% petrol at all petrol stations (which I use at Petronas) and offer discount at some of the food outlets I go to. The BIG negative part of CIMB/DA is that they charges courier fees for delivery of item with reward points redemption, I am fortunate that I can drop by their HQ to collect and save the fees.


I would like to say that eventhough HSBC may not have a wide range of card but their CS is pretty good. Only thing I don't like is that their promotional gifts are not guaranteed eventhough you spend tons of money with them.

this week, went to eonbank to cancel my CC, the CS asked me to hold on to it first, although they cannot waive the RM50, they will do cash rebate promotion to compensate customer in this sense, and that the service tax is due on the CC annivesary date.

CIMB really want to kick me out. I have 2 cards with them and fill in the cancellation form for 1 card and they canceled both cards. I was surprised when I can't used one of the card last week. poor CS. so leave it both cancel

oh, thanks. btw, i hava cancelled all my other MBB card, only left Amex CC Gold.

I tried to cancel my CIMB by faxing the cancellation letter.
Even if just wanting to confirm whether they've received the letter also takes them 36 hours and counting to response.

Either they're really busy or their effectiveness is questionable.
So much for a top bank in Malaysia.

Whoa I was thinking of cancelling my Direct Access Visa and keeping the Direct Access Mastercard while waiting for news on the tax. Guess I should hold off until more news is forthcoming.

Or maybe I should just cancel them both since the first of the month (5%) has already passed and no news on a renewal of the offer.

You are not the only customer that they have. Probably with the service tax, they have hundred of thousands or millions cancelling their card by now. I know banks need to be efficient but I think your comments is slightly uncalled for.

FYI, I am not working with them and already cancelled my cards with them.

Any EON-GSC card holder here?
Ever tried to purchase ticket through GSC website? which paying with Credit Card?

Tried mine yesterday, key in all info, card number & bla bla,
end up, a windows pop up need me to key in VERIFIED VISA PASSWORD, then I call the customer careline, the CS told me they will send me the password within 2 weeks to my mailing address :|

The thing is, I am puchasing the 2012 ticket on Friday night
2 more weeks, the show still on or not?

It would be better to get the official confirmation from the government directly.


I know the current 0% BT for 6 months is quite an interesting deal. However, BT plan is just not my cup of coffee as banks will normally charge a heavy penalty if you miss a single payment. Moreover, with the re-emergence of Dubai debt crisis, I dare not touch stock market now and I would rather invest in defensive investments like FD and property in Malaysia.


My JustOne cc reached the max rebate limit in 2 months so currently this card is temporarily not with me. And now, I have to use other rebate cards like Alliance and Amex Gold cc.

As for the concern over courier charges for CIMB/DA, I guess you will spend more (time, petrol, parking and car service) if you personally go to their HQ in Damansara Heights to collect the redemption items.


Take this opportunity to look at the beauty of other cards.

haha.. if you noticed, I didn't curse. I can understand their situation.
The problem is, I just want to confirm whether they've RECEIVED my letter, not to inquire whether my card is CANCELED.

There's a huge difference. 1 is just check whether they got the fax and another is check for the processed status of cancellation. And I assume not everyone faxed in to cancel their cards.

Very true, finding a parking at Damansara Heights during office hours can vomit blood; fortunately, i don't have to worry about parking my car.


So did they reactivate the other after you called them?
