trust me, can shift the points as long as its within the same bank. Can't say about other banks though...but MBB does.

I guess that's why their Infinite/World Mastercard is easy to get. Can even say, the harder it is to qualify for one, the better the rewards.

even when they say its effective immediately?

how come...just minus...then plus the points on the other card laa...
even Maybank can do this without asking...not that I asked, they informed me.

no bank has offered RM50 rebate/subsidy on the gov tax except for isolated cases like a Platinum card holder was waived of the GST and another cardholder was given RM50 voucher. What bank is giving subsidy? I haven't heard of any.

That is what we call isolated case. Its like you said, "not across the board policy". To be honest, I was already expecting banks to make this move since the announcement of GST. Banks can stand to lose a lot from the reduction of credit cards and what they're doing is simply trying to maintain their "revenue". Besides absorbtion/waiver/subsidy of the RM50 GST, I've heard of banks giving additional annual fee waiver, and cash vouchers. You can expect to hear more offers in the future as Bank Negara hasn't finalized anything on the GST till now.

Yes, you can go to their card centre to cancel your cards. Do let us know if they offered you any services to keep your MBB card at the centre.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this promotion (based on the advertisement) is only for "Power Balance Transfer". NOT application of new credit card or subsidy for current customers. Means if you do not apply for Power Balance Transfer, there is no RM50 subsidy.

Btw, did you see this on the T&C of Power Balance Transfer?

how much points was deducted? As much as the unauthorized transaction? If its more...then its very weird.
Can you explain on the unauthorized transaction? What's the provision about?

Indeed. Its called marketing gimmic. It is everywhere...you need to be careful with other promotions as well. Always check the terms and conditions before you apply for anything. Do not fall for the pretty sales promoter I myself got tricked enough by promotions...

wow...that's a thousand bucks out of your pocket for nothing. You should've just reported the card as lost or stolen

BC? Boycott? Aiya...try only la...since he has problem getting any card. Then I suggest he hold the card with good payment record for 1 year and apply for a better card. For me, the best place is Maybank's TreatPoints fair...easiest to get a card during that time.

My first CC application was UOB VOX but it was rejected due to a study loan I hadn't pay. But I managed to get MBB card at their TreatsPoints fair a few years back and my credit record was good again. That time everyone kept saying MBB was one of the most difficult cards to get. If u cannot get UOB...can dream-on with MBB card.

oops, I quote wrong person.
btw, I wanted to ask about that Singapore too...how do you check for admin charge for currency conversion?

look for arsenal. He does CIMB Direct Access.

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.

just pay with another credit card
did you just got the EON-GSC?

keep pestering them. Make sure its being processed. You can Email a copy of the fax too.
Tip - use your office phone to call

duhh, what do you think we are all doing? Having Gold, Infinite / World cards while just sitting at home?
There's nothing wrong with posting in forums in the office when you're free.

some banks mentioned that they'll charge to our statement...then after we pay them, they'll transfer the money to Bank Negara.

Just potong my Citibank card. As usual, they tried to convince me otherwise but luckily the force is strong with me.

Maybank - no chance at all - their hotline is constantly busy. Makes me appreciate the prompt and friendly service I get from HSBC.

Go to their credit card centre at 1U or Mid Valley. May teh force be with you

wanna ask

is it true that the credit card number for master card starts with 5 while for visa card, it starts with 4 ?

[/quote]
yes, it is also true that pigs can fly.
I think you're mistaken with Amex...but Amex only ENDS with 5, it starts with 4.
