Boon closed my topic ask me to post here pinned =(
K, juz want to let everyone know.
I've been MBF credit card users for 6 years.
Credit limit is 3k.
I apply credit limit upgrade to 4k because I want to buy a notebook that cost RM3,500.
Rejected. No reason given.
I have a few times late payment but the next month I pay double the amount required.
5 years over my credit card expired. They send me a new one.
I open letter. It's shining gold.
I check online credit limit. Amazed it's still 3k.
I send email to them in a sarcastic mean of describing my friend.
My friend Citibank "CLASSIC" credit card users for 3 month.
Payment good auto upgrade limit. No question ask.
They called him and give him a special promotion on a loan of 9k with lowest interest rate that pay back on his credit card monthly.
I'm amazed. MBF credit card. NEVER GOT ANY GOOD BENEFIT CALL FROM THEM EXCEPT LATE PAYMENT!
If I don't get a good reply later, I'm going to cut it and change to Citibank.
p.s. Forgot to add I'm actually ranting here lol. Really ma. I really want to ask them, you give me a card painted in gold but limit is still the classic limit why not you just give me the classic card, I don't really feel I'm having a gold card. zzz.
I understand late payment, but I didn't just pay the minimum, there are even times I cleared the whole credit card. Somemore late payment they charge me interest they gain i lost wor =.=!! *sarcastically they didn't appreciate my tips (interest late) payment xD
You can actually pay RM500 cash and pay the rest with your credit card.
By the way, I have RM18k limit.
I dun know why they want to give that limit to me who pay off everything.
They did call me to offer loan, but I know the loan is not good for life.
You spend what you earn, that is how things should work.
Never enjoy when you have high limits, but rather you have enough cash in saving account, rite?
By the way, you only have one card, so you are still under control..

You have another alternative which is to get a Debit Card, check out the Debit Card thread and you'll note PBB Electron and Day2Day can use paypal. Debit cards are not taxed RM50 but there is an annual fee.
you open a thread to post above? what is your point? And for 6 years you never apply for another CC when you not happy with MBF? As you mentioned, just go get another card lah.
Having said the above, I can understand why MBF did not increase your CL, you must understand that RM3K CL is very very low and yet you can't even make RM150 (5% of CL) on time and have bad record payment history. Yes, Citibank Card do have all kind of "special promotion" loan (like blank cheque) but before you utilize/use these kind of "benefit", better ask yourself if you can pay back as the interest will be high.
I don't know why bank wants to encourage us to take loan.
Some one called me: "We borrow you 11k, you can use it for business, whatever, no need to sign agreement also, just approved through phone."
That is what my standard answer: "Sorry, we don't need it."
I think borrowing is easy, but repaying back is so tough. I never take the instalment loan anymore after I paid 18 months of about RM150, feel like so long. Then I decided that I should just pay using cash.
For me, loan only looks reasonable for the following three things:
1) Housing loan
2) Car loan
3) Educational loan
4) short term Medical loan
The rests are not reasonable at all. Why enjoy now on what you don't have and suffer later?
