CIMB already offer me a platinum long ago. However PBB is very cocky not to upgrade my current gold to platinum, even after request & platinum card user proof. Just sent an email to complaint kau kau. Any advice guys?

If they don't want to upgrade you then just cancel the card ... simple. No need to raise your blood pressure.  sweat.gif
These days it is very easy to get Platinum thus just by virtue of having one doesn't mean anything. An anology about this ... a gold card with classic card level CL .... e.g. a gold card with RM3.5K limit. Or a Platinum with a RM5K limit (Myself is an example).

May I know why is it so important to hold a Platinum card ?

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.

Well, it is up to their discretion, they don't have to offer you one just because another bank has offered you one.

And as others have said, you can show you're dissatisfaction by terminating your banking relationship with them tongue.gif

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.

QUOTE(hye @ Dec 27 2009, 11:58 PM)
Yes ... you need to do full settlement.

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.

just got my CIMB Touch n GO Visa card biggrin.gif

Expiry date on 11/14
so means if I cancel before November 2010, I wont need to pay the RM50 tax right?

Did CIMB charge you RM 10 on the T&G Zing card? CIMB offer me the T&G Plat Visa (which comes with the Zing card) & charge me the RM 10, I cancelled the card outright.

As I know Maybank did not charge customer on the zing card issuance (that linked with the credit card for reload).

Now SCB Plat cc only RM 60k per annum requirement? Looks like they dropped their standard already on Plat, maybe to give way for their Visa Infinite or attract more users.

I just want the lap top.

Many if not most, got their credit cards approved even during probation. I am one of them but that was many years back, unless there is a new rule stating probationary-in-work applicant cannot apply. You are above 21 years old with 3 months pay slip supporting with epf statement (with 3 months contribution in it), I don't see a reason why you won't be approved. However the approved credit limit could be as low as RM 3k though.

Even with platinum now, it is not as prestige & special as when I use the Citibank mini Clear card last time. Most if not all will be dazed to see how small the credit card is whenever I make payment.

Sadly no bank offer this type of card now anymore, thanks to the chip requirement.

Heard a lot of the AMEX Platinum with RM 800 annual fee, is it true that it cannot be waived?

What other benefits for using DA Platinum? I might just convert from CIMB Mastercard Platinum, if it is really good. As I know CIMB/DA (even for Platinum) call centre is pretty lousy, just like MBB.

Normally those people that do not live nearby Citibank branch will pay the bill from other banks thru money transfer that requires RM 2 per transaction.

You misunderstood the question posed. He was asking how to register for OAC and not how to pay for his Citibank credit card bill.

Today just heard a credit card roadshow promoter said that Amex Gold charge card is very difficult to get? Is this true?

I dont think it is true , i have few friends applied for the card using their > 1 year CC with the lowest one 6k CL , all approved biggrin.gif , it just a myth charge card is harder to get.  At this time people are abandoning their cards , will be much more easier to get approved.
*
The road show person also mentioned that the charge card has no credit limit, hence hard to get. Is this true as well?

Saying that Reader's Digest randomly picked the cardholders for a chance to win a sum amount of money.

Some few years back, my brother was notified by Reader's Digest for this similar contest. He bought some sets of books but eventually didn't win anything. laugh.gif

No. PBB Flexipay charges 2% for 6 months installment, 3% for 12 months installment or 6% for 24 months installment.
CIMB/DA 0% smart flexi pay plan only apply to education, insurance and hospital bill (refer here)
CIMB/DA i-pay plan charges 2% for 10 months installment, 4% for 20 months installment and 5% for 30 months installment (refer here)
PBB flexipay charges interest upfront
*
Thanks for the clarifications. The PBB link on the flexipay is misleading since the big words show 0% installments, but fine line under it says got handling charges depending on installment duration.
