Haha...then that's very early.

So many ppl are canceling their CIMB cards nowadays.
Somemore their service is damn slow. It took me 1-2 mths to effectively terminate my card and that was after numerous of calls (>10 times).
It wouldn't be a surprise if their lines are occupied everyday.

Maybe I should just head straight to the branch then . Or sleep late.

My colleagues are having the same problem with HLB and PBB also. Took him 2 hours to cancel his cards with these 2 banks via phone call.

To be fair, i think all banks' CS are overloaded cuz of the stupid GST.

Just head to the branch for a fast cancellation.

If the Gomen din impose the service tax, I'd be getting my AMEX by now.
Now only keeping 1 card as it gives me a savings that exceeds the tax.

same to my uob, i walked in to branch to cancel myself at early of dec, found it is still alive last week, then called to double check, asked me to fax in the termination letter. ok fine, followed their instruction, today still find the card is active in my internet banking!

I LOLed at your case.

Anyway, I've sent an email to ask them confirm my cancellation.
So I have proof of them saying my card was canceled.
If there's any future arguments, at least I have it in written.

For CIMB cards, the bank will send u a sms that your cards have been cancelled .

Well, for my card, I didn't receive any sms.
Just an email.

Since my card expires on May, so if I still receive statement next mth den i knw wat to do.

Maybank will send us a notification that the card has been successfully canceled while CIMB Bank will send a statement.

I got the confirmation for the cancellation by mid December but my latest statement didn't show any cancellation notice.
Haha.. somemore they owe me money which I overpaid.
So I should wait till next statement right?

Oh ... i guess there will be one last statement yet to arrived.

Citibank does the same to, they send a congratulation letter to me informing the increase of my CL

I got hardcopy statement for my DA cancellation.

Added on January 19, 2010, 9:01 amJust checked my Jan 2010 statement, I do not see RM50 tax charged... my card anniversary month is 01, however I applied the card on July 2009 and received the card on Aug 2009, could this be the reason I'm not being charged yet?

I applied DA cimb last couple of weeks. Received it yesterday and i was quite shock to find CL they give is like almost 4 times more than my maybank. Either they made mistake or they just want to attract people.

When did you activate your card?
By right, your card's anniversary should be July/Aug rather than Jan.

definitely not mistaken
they did it on purpose

Wat is ur statement date? I oso dun c the service tax on the online card statement, wait until 26th then c got charge or not.

That is because the credit card tax will only be charged the following month. For example, if your credit card anniversary is in 01/13, the credit card tax is chargeable in February every year.

Looking at the expiry date may not be the exact anniversary month they charge the RM50. Best to call the CS.

Around Aug 2009. But 01 is printed on my card.
The anniversary month is same with my ex-Petronas card. Could it be when you own more than 1 card that share 1 credit limit, anniversary month will be same for all cards?

But thinking about it, its really not fair for me getting charged RM50 tax for less than a year old CC...

Statement day is 18th. Will further check after i got paper statement... but I think nothing will change for this month statement...

Hmm gonna call CS to check this tomorrow...

Thanks, will call CS to check tomorrow...

For HLB case above holds. Got my statement for this month with annual fees but no mention of RM50 tax. Called CS and was told my annual fees in process of being waived and RM50 tax not shown in system yet. Good news is bonus points of 20,000 for keeping the card is shown in system
