I think this is because citibank can be used on oversea transaction, and they always giving free gift for new approval. Last time got a promotion, use RM 799 to buy a laptop for newly approved citibank cc....

not only citibank la, but other cards too.

Citi cc promoters are very aggressive. Citi has the highest number of customers in cc segment in Malaysia. Their CS staff are experienced and well trained. Their cards are well recognised worldwide.

They try to lure customers in by giving new applicants freebies, regardless of whether the application is successful or not. However, after you are already in and become their cardholders, you will find the benefits offered are just so-so, except for discount at various mid to high-end F&B outlets.

Yes, in terms of receivables, Citi is still at the top.

Citi itself is already a "brand" and very well recognised, while HSBC is catching up. This round of global financial crisis has somehow reversely affected Citi's image.

If points which cc should i take seriously?
And also recommend cc for cash rebate too..
Thanks!

i applied for MBB Petronas visa in july.  they ask me to wait for 3 month. after that is it consider rejected. I haven't call or neither they did.

I emailed my credit card application form and relevant documents to CIMB Direct Access on the 18th September, but till today no updates at all from them, wondering how is my status of application..

lol... applied Eon GSC card 2 weeks back... now still now news...

dear all, i wanna ask some question here. yesterday i already apply for etiqa insurance, and i already tell the insurance agent to pay my monthly insurance payment by cc. so i have sign the agreement to pay by cc and have already give the agent my photostat copy of my cc (both side of my cc). but i am wondering now, is it safe to give my cc photocopy to him. because the cc have our number right. so is it safe??

lol.. called them last friday... apparently they cant do anything also since the application not coming in...

just have to wait then

i read thru and you guys stressed that 3months payslip is very important.
i was wondering if for situation where company do not provide payslips.

My company usually pay my salary thru a cheque and sign a document verifying that i had received the salary and they dont give me a copy of that document.

in this case wat can i do to apply? my manager say that i can use a letter of appointment provided by company to get cc application done.. izzit true?

Wanna To Ask 1st Credit Card Got 6k Credit Limit Are Much Are Very Less?

I always use my credit card buy online izzit safe? I scared the shop worker use my detail buy other items cuz it seems very easy to use the card. All the details is written. Some websitewhen i order they write down the full number without the *** in front but they have the verisecure standard. Can trust?

My husband just got a call from HSBC - all cards under him (his and mine[supp]) are 'free for life'. His card normal classic card only. We hv both Visa n MCard

Just received a call from CIMB bank saying that my Direct Access credit card application has been rejected due to we can't have both CIMB CC and DA CC at the same time..

hello,

I am currently using a Citibank supplementary cc. I planned to get a principal card which has rebates for petrol and discounts in certain shops. What would be recommended?

Thank you.

Noticed that PBB seems to be having lots of credit card promotions (including relaunch of ManU card) lately. Very different from previous stance of 'dun care about card business'....

Zzzz gonna cancel cards soon. Hopefully some banks will counter-offer with 'we'll rebate you rm50 for gomen charge'

how about those credit card that is free for life without condition? can government charge us since there already have agreement between bank and us?

No need to open another account with Public Bank. Your account number for the VISA Electron is the 16-digit card number. No passbook. They will however send you an itemised statement to you once a month 

In most occasions no. Just make sure the termination is done via letter and faxed to the bank / cc card centre. If you do your termination @ the bank, high chance you'll be asked to surrender your card and they will cut it up for you.

you can even tell them that your card is lost and you would like to cancel your account as well
