I got one stack all in RM20 from 1U MBB SC last weekend. I did not ask for other denominations though.

Jusco vouchers from Jusco itself comes in RM1(blue?), RM5(green), RM10 (red?), RM20(purple). Not sure if RM50/100 are available.

Prefer smaller denominations, as sometimes purchase RM25, can use 1x RM20 voucher and top-up cash RM5. No change from cashier for vouchers.

Couldn't agree more !

Update for you guys if you're using EON credit card.

Was confirmed by the CS that EON bank will be having a so-called promotion for their card members to waive the RM50 tax.

The condition is to use your EON CC for ANY transaction ANY amount for 36 times in a year (no limit to monthly transaction). I find it quite reasonable. And it was on the newspaper yesterday.

peace.

..this is good, i got one classic with them since 2000, and i'm stuck for 2 years cannot cancel coz of instalments.. thanks for the info...

HLB may have already removed the minimum amount requirement, but petrol purchases are still not included. Also, your total monthly expenses (excluding petrol purchases) must be more than RM100 in order to be eligible for the cash back.


You will not be granted access to Maybank Private Banking Centre.


Banks will still evaluate his credit exposure and risk.


I have just done some banking transactions in a small Maybank branch at PJ. I saw a CS officer processing a stack of card cancellation forms with Maybank CCs attached. I noticed Amex cards too, including Amex Gold CCs and Amex Plat charge cards. The officer revealed that most probably the bank won't absorb the service tax and she has been receiving more than 20 card cancellation request forms per day since late last month.

It is hard to believe them if it is not written in black and white.

Anyway, some agents from EON Bank went to my mom's office this morning and they said the service fee will be waived provided they swipe their card at least xxx times in a year. They are also giving out a fancy trolley bag to those who apply. Gift will be given on the spot and not after your application has been approved. I told my mom not to go ahead because we're not sure if the agents are telling the truth (about the tax)


Which newspaper is that ?

i have applied direct access credit card. one card applied and got 2 cards approved, namely WORLD Mastercard and VISA infinite. If i were to only keep one card (due to the rm50 tax) which card shd i keep?

may i know where to add the credit card? can add during the online banking or do we hv to apply the pin for credit card to online using the atm machine?

if payment for credit card via cheque, what should we write as the receiver?

Just stick to the card you applied for. To be frank, both CCs are not so great in terms of benefits given. If you have already got MC, then you should get a VISA, and vice versa.


You can personally link your cc to Alliance online banking. However, it won't take effect immediately.


You can write your full name as per IC, or follow the instruction at the back of your cc statement.

usually there is an example of the payee for cheque payment on your monthly credit cards statements. please remember to write down your Name, contact number and its designated accounts (As well as its amount, if you have more than 1 account to deposit with the single cheque)

oh thanks very much! never thought of that

even nowadays classic visa/mastercard limit given RM45k.

so no point getting goldcard/platinum card to avoid yearly annual fees that could not be waive unless show off

You should keep the World Mastercard. This is because most of the promotions are solely for Mastercard only.

By the way, nobody will be promoting CIMB Bank or Direct Access until further notice


Did buy Star yesterday and the day before yesterday. Didn't notice any EON Bank ads though. Only remember i saw the RHB Bank VISA debit card ads and that's all.


It is not advisable to list out all your credit lines here on a public forum.

I decided to maintain UOB Preferred Platinum VISA and to cut Citibank Gold Visa since UOB offers rebate of RM50 if we need to spend a minimum of RM100 transaction for 3 transactions within 14 days.

Wow, Let me compile mine too:

Maybank Petronas Gold VISA - CUT

Confirmed to maintain = 0
Unsure to cut = NA
Confirmed to cut = 1

will live on with SCB Priority Banking Debit Card for now.

guys, I really think its not a good idea to list out the cards you have willingly. Remember this is the Internet. Just ask about those cards u have questions on...and keep the rest to yourself unless really need to mention.
