HSBC did not say if they were going to absorb the credit card tax for any of their credit card holders. However, they did inform me that i will need to redeem 9,500 Rewards Points in exchange for the RM50 service tax. Not too sure how much Rewards Points is needed for supplementary card holder RM25 tax.

I was also informed that the credit card tax will only be charged along with the annual fee (if applicable).
*
perhaps 5k points for RM25?

QUOTE(dkk @ Dec 20 2009, 03:09 PM)
I call arab-malaysian, they say the RM50 will be charge on the anniversary (next year).

I call citibank, they say they have not yet been notified by bank negara, so they're charging yet.

I call cimb, they said they will start charging on 1st Jan 2010. I'm going to cancel that card.
*
luckily i cancelled already the cimb card
seems like most bank wait until anniversary to charge RM50

so want to ask whether if cancelled each year b4 anniversary to avoid the RM50 will work or not?

can anyone help me to clarify about BT programme (CIMB 0% BT is so interesting). Can the amount to be transferred more than the statement balance considering that we might have future transaction on going. would like to utilize this but normally I don't have any outstanding balance as payment was made full every month
*
the answer is cannot since its clearly stated u need to submit ur current statement...maybe the trick will be u don't pay for that month loh

QUOTE(winner @ Dec 20 2009, 06:21 PM)
If you don't have outstanding balance, how to do transfer?! That is the basic requirement. smile.gif
*
still can since public bank bt doesn't need statement for application

want to ask if we cancel every year b4 anniversary, will we still be charged the RM50
eg: my maybank card expiry is month February, so i cancel it on January, then apply back on February

wat u guys think? i know its pretty stupid and im sure banks will put up some kind of counter measure since they're smarter than us consumer...just curious

If you apply back in February, you are being charged Rm50 upfront. Not a good move btw. tongue.gif

I totally agree... Alliance having NIL admin charges is totally not right.
I was informed by MBB Customer Service that MBB only charge what Visa/MC forex conversion rate only. no admin fee.
AMEX does have admin fee.

hidden charges, very dishonest and tricky of Alliance Bank sweat.gif

I don't actually get what you meant. HLB would compensate you with 10,000 points if you were to pay the RM50 service tax, or HLB would deduct 10,000 points from you for the payment of the RM50 service tax?

hlb ask me to take back their card and they will give 10000 points to offset the RM50 gov tax rclxms.gif
very good ah

Thanks for the info. I have just one more question.

For example, if i have 2 card, let say MBB Petronas & Sony Visa. I have an easy payment made with Sony card, but since I want to keep MBB Petronas due to petrol rebate, can I transfer my easy payment to my Petronas card and cancel my Sony card then?

not at the moment cool2.gif

PBB since they're giving great rebates now, when u apply now also they're giving out RM60

QUOTE(audy @ Apr 23 2010, 03:49 PM)
Can anyone advise on the bonus points for MBB and CIMB.  Which card is better in terms of points expiry validity.
*
MBB since non expiry

QUOTE(winner @ Apr 24 2010, 06:10 AM)
PBB always has attractive cash back promotions since last year, wheareas HLB's recent promotions are quite useless.

totally agree with u bro, pbb seems like going all out in attracting customers with its latest 15% rebate, planning to get RM390 for these 3 months
