is there a trend that credit card limits have been increased lately? Most of my friends say so....

I am not a big spender with the credit card, do u think it is safer to lower the credit card limit or leave it as it is - which is rm9k?

Hope this helps to understand the role of CL a little. I kindof hate people thinking have high CL is 'dangerous', you may never know when you'll need it and if you can't control your spending then please don't sign up for credit cards. I have friends with CL lower than RM10K but every month pay nothing but minimum. (And complaints when the cc statement come and debt/interest so high) Banks are not charities, they are enterprises who are there to make money.

hello...need some advice here...
i may need a credit card (or may not). i am just a new working professional, been working for 4 months. calculated my per annum net salary (after minus epf+socso) is around Rm26k. why i say i may need a card coz currently i am pursuing part time study while working and there will be fees incurred that i wont be manage to pay with my 1 month salary alone. actually the fees can be claimed with the firm i'm working with it's just that i have to pay first. so which is the suitable card for a starter like me and from which bank? i may also use the card to purchase few one-off things
anyway, my knowledge about the technical side of owning a credit card is basically zero (like the payment process, interest rates, rebates, balance transfer, fees etc). care to suggest any website links useful for me to read?

I assume you are using MBB credit card (VISA/MC) and not MBB AMEX cc. You don't need to do a card change since it works elsewhere. Likely to be a merchant problem. Did you also try to swipe it @ the counter ? (That's a sure fire way for the card to work)

ya, master card...haven try to swipe in the BHP counter....ma fan....will go Shell to pump instead =D
