Hi sifu here...

Just now receive Citibank call for asking me interest on their Flexi Payment Plan.. Anyone try this service before?

Basically bank will deposit a certain amt to any of my local bank, and i have to take money to pay all my outstanding amt. Thereafter, if i choose 12months, thn i will pay a figure based on 9.88%p.a.

My question is .. Can i do early settlement? and if i owe 10k, is it worth for me to take this plan?

Maybank's. Because the recent comparison shown that Maybank is the lowest after factoring in the loss of exchange rate and bank's admin charge. The second lowest would be Alliance Bank. The highest is Standard Chartered Bank. So remember that unless you will be reimbursed for your overseas spending, you should never ever use your Standard Chartered Bank credit card while overseas.
Oh ... There are so many actually. But since he/she doesn't have any credit score record in USA, almost 99% that his/her application will be rejected. Things work very differently in the US. One needs to build up his/her credit card before he/she attempts to apply for a credit card. One can also build your credit score rating by using your USA issued debit card.
Is there a list from top to bottom?
I have AMEX, Citibank and HSBC on hand and going to HK next month. Which is the best card to use? smile.gif

You can get the list in the previous version of credit card thread. AMEX has high overseas admin charge at 2.5%. If my memory serves me correctly, HSBC is a bit lower compared to Citibank according to the data provided by GHz  smile.gif

You will pay heavy price if you are not discipline and don't understand the concept of such scheme.

Of course the best thing you can do now is look for a way to lock in the interest rate for a given period which can only be done via personal loan or balance transfer.

I see i see.. thanks.. biggrin.gif

So the citibank flexi payment with lockin 9.88%p.a quite a good plan for me lo...

I personally don't like to talk about schemes that would potentially snowball cc debts. However, since you would like to solve your financial problem and point your query to me, I would briefly give my view on this. smile.gif

What's the interest rate offered by Citi for the flexi-payment plan? About 10% per annum? I guess you can get a much lower rate if you opt for Balance Transfer or Personal Loan. For BT, I think CIMB offers an attractive.

Thanks.. Lets me figure out how much CIMB offer for BT.

you can apply AMEX Gold and BT there, 0% until end of the yr
*
Nope.. AMEX Gold Zero interest until year end is for retails transaction only. Not for BT. smile.gif
