its all began with tht stupid UOB who launched One platinum , if not mistaken. everyone tot thts the plat n everyone go rushing to get them. then the other banks start to counter by offering real plats at gold card level. n now even some banks dun issue classic card anymore , its all start with gold card.
yep unless u got a visa infinite / world mastercard. u stil doesnt hold any special status recognition.
Actually, the service is pretty good as it has a direct number to call, which is not shared amongst the rest of their cards, thus resulting in very good service and response time unlike the normal plat line etc. The rewards and benefits also outclass anything out there, provided you really subscribe to such a lifestyle as its mostly tailored to high spenders and frequent travellers.

Problem is I have installments in with the bloody PBB credit card. First time heard Gold & Platinum have RM 5k below credit limit. For my case, each level of the credit card got upgraded, it is at least RM 10k extra credit limit.
The thing is PBB has one of the lowest income requirement for Platinum & I believe CIMB has the same or higher requirement. Somemore I pay promptly & no bad records in CCRIS or whatever. I don't see any reason for rejecting my request seeing this should be the time to preserve customers. Darn, thinking of cancelling but the installments also headache.
Some banks will impose a 'special' cancellation (pay in one short) charges on easy-payment installments. A few SCB officers told me about it. There is a fine line clause on easy payment transactions.
As we had previously mentioned before, the more cards you hold, the higher your exposure level, thus the lessor your chance of gettting a higher CL, which probably affected your available choice of card type
