It was advertised in Malaysia Tatler few months ago + The Edge a few times

I've only seen printed hard copy ads. Haven't came across any electronic copies but published in The Edge quite a number of times.

my votes go to std chart, i got my 20k limit of platinum card when i was 24 with earning less than 3k. and i dun have any o/s with any other banks.

not bad not bad. applied card to card basis or using full income documents?

I missed that and hope in the next 5 years i will be able to get that card in my wallet , definitely not qualified to own that card now. Criteria should be annual spending over MYR500000 + willing to fork out 15K to 20K for annual fee BTW just an assumption.

fuyoh, salary 3k can get a 20k cl platinum. confirm not sub card? i am jelly ni. i will throw away all my platinum cards now as i thought platinum cc holder should be premier and higher ranking.

card to card application, becoz HSBC gave me two gold cards (last time HSBC cards are sperate credit limit)

Platinum card now start to target mass market , IIRC since 2009 all bank start to do this. Remember EON , MBF , SCB are among the first to offer 15k for their platinum. Then most of the bank start to join the party not long after. Signature , Infinite , WMC range are introduced to substitute platinum. Even the exclusive range stated above their base CL has been dropping wonder whats the next card would be.

I still remember in the late 90s the very sight of Platinum cards give sheer ecstasy to traders and consumers. It was like a major 'WOW'. Back then, platinum cards were all in silver colour. HSBC's one looked exactly like their own classic card with only the discreet 'PLATINUM' word below the writing HSBC being the differentiation. If I remember correctly the starting limit for most platinum cards back then was 50k. If you have 300k CL those days, you must be some big shot hahaha!

For me maybank amex was generous game me 50k limit but for the man u card only 5k lol i called them up and check if it was an error they say no.

Not combine CL?
As for me, i m holding more than 3 Maybankard, all combined CL.

Combined for amex and visa?
i Dun think so i heard from my other bank lets say u hold public bank and citibank master card 1 got 5k other got 6k it will add up both cards will have 11k limit.
Never heard of amex combined with visa even tho same bank.

Yes, it's combined CL. MBB had fully take over Amex business (Malaysia) since few years ago...

If not combine CL, better still,.. Hehe..
Then i will have CL of X00,000 + X00,000

MINE ONE (HSBC Amanah Gold) this is my 1st Credit Card
COMBINE CL UPGRATE to PLATINUM WITH CL 8K+ 5K= 13K not bad... in one year (Since 4/2012)

CIMB most generous for me.. Credit limit 60k which is 5x my gross salary..

Yes, Cimb had given their customer high CL in the past.
After BNM stricten the cc rules, the same scenerio are unlikely to happen by now.

They offered me the CL even after BNM new rulings though...

Citibank and cimb
