anyone of you guys plan to cancel CC due to the the 50 bucks GST issue?
i may cancel two of  mine soon... one from a lousy provider. keep sending a cc replacement after cancellation! 

btw, posting a question on behalf of a friend which s married for a year but for some reason which is only known to him, he is going to apply for another credit card soon and wanted to put his marital status as 'single'. he'd been using his old credit card for years....
will the marital status affect his application?

Today's Chinese newspaper Sin Chew reported that for HLB cardholders who possess their cards before 2008,you need 7,000 points only to waive the RM50 service tax. On the contrary, those having their cards after 2008 would require 12,000 points for the trade-off.

Not only that. For HLB, you need to use approximately 12,500 points to redeem a RM50 gift voucher. Further, rewards points expire every 3 years and extension request is not negotiable.

special hotline, airport lounge, insurance on tickets and purchase, get better service when you pay using plat (waiter will look at you differently)  ++

if ur statement date is 5th of january, when the public bank only will start charge for ur late repaid?

wanna share something here, apparently a friend of mine has signed up a cc from a big name bank...the card was unused at all and it was stored in the safe once he received the card

what happend is, some barger in maxis and the bank colluded, they set up my friend by unknowingly bar my friend hp line when he was in China, and divert his hp line to another person. The another person use the line and call the bank to report lost of card and demand for a reissuance. A new card was reisssued. The hp line was restored when he is back in m'sia

But 1 day, he told me his line got bar again and we went to maxis in klang together, and maxis said he ask to bar it, we was like huh???? and they dunno how to restore it =..=.

and the next thing is, he got a called from the bank asking did he went to ipoh to swipe 70k of jewelery over the evening? of coz not coz we were in klang for the whole evening. but the bank claim that my friend is in liable and so he shud pay.

now when we subsequently talk to the bank personnel, they told us that the card was reissued coz the person who called to ask for a new card has all the verification info of my friend. and they said they did call the so called "card owner" upon swiping the 70k jewelery, and he so called card owner said yes (which i presumes my friend line has been diverted to the "card owner")

we reported to the police and we only intend to pay rm250 but the bank sent my friend letter of demand and calll everyday. we got a lawyer friend to sent the bank a letter, from tat day onwards they still send letter to my friend but with the word without prejudice....as far as i know the bank is trying to get a deal with my friend to share the liability equally. btw, he is not listed in CTOS....

overcharged as in?

Global Roaming you meant?

its a bank which offer air asia card...u guys shud know bout tat

anyway, to answer ur queries...

1.) line is totally barred, n no phone received or call is allowed at all. not the type of bar we get if we use > CL
2.) there is no complete number change, my friend line just turn out normal after a while when he came back to m'sia and the maxis service centre cant explain why
3.) i agree, both maxis and citibank have backup call. they deny to provide us the records to show that it wasnt my friend who called to request a card lost
4.) 5.)  the replacement card was collected by the fraudster, i have no idea how he get it

anyhow it really doesnt matter to my friend if the bank treat it as a fraud or not, the fact is when the card was swipe in Ipoh:-

- he is in klang, and its in my office premises with CCTV records can be used as evidence
- we went to maxis centre together, hence they shud have our records
- the card he has is in the safe, and it was never used at all

the bank will still call my friend once a while to ask for payment, but we dont think its our fault n not gonna pay

Quite true. @zeroexz story is probably a good example of a well organized cc fraud. I'll be keen to see how that story will end. OT, I find it rather weird that Maxis is unable to trace their logs unless the inside person actually took some additional efforts to change their internal logs as well. Probably harder to check who access the guys bank's information coz within the bank probably hundreds of people could have the power to view the personal details.

Well ... not to speculate on things and back to the main topic.

Isn't DA plat CS 03-62047979?

Now I call early morning also engaged 

Early as in 6am wor 

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!     

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

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

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?
