@rockefeller,
Thus far, the most 'kiam siap' bank I've come across is Maybank tongue.gif

Haha, Maybank is legend. A couple months ago, they refuse to renew my Amex and Visa card but only my Mastercard. Also they reduce the CL on my Mastercard tongue.gif .Call them to see what is the problem as I have excellent paying record. Guess what the teller told me? She told me nicely that, since i only use he Mastercard and not the visa or amex, they see no point in continuing my other cards laugh.gif .Also they say my transaction is low and also very good payee, they basically cannot earn much from me so they reduce the CL whistling.gif . Talk to the girl nicely say that i will use my card more often, she finally agreed to renew my visa but not my amex, but the lowered CL stays. laugh.gif . BTW, my Maybank CL is mere 15% of my annual income biggrin.gif

@gark,
I'm surprised they cut you off on your Amex since I thought they really wanted to increase their database for that card.  I was luckier; on 3 separate occasions, I asked MBB to give me an increase in CL on my Amex card and all 3 times it was granted; in fact, the last request, they gave me a permanent increase limit of RM10k smile.gif

I am not surprised they did it, i never did once swipe the amex or visa card for 5 years since it is given to me. tongue.gif.

You mean they more welcome those who always delay the payment one?

Me also using Maybank mastercard only and they didn't renew me the visa or amex, I am a good payee and not a heavy user also (use 2 or 3 times per month), but they increase my CL twice within few years.  blink.gif

Haha i really don't know. I maybe use my credit card like 2-3 times a year only. Don't know why, I am CC phobic tongue.gif. Even my subordinate who is like heavily in debt with credit cards, and earns much much lower than me got offered a citibank platinum card with a huge CL. Go figure! laugh.gif

Tinkerbell,

Haha, I don't know where I got my habit from. Whenever I see anything I want to buy, I check my wallet first, not enough cash then either I withdraw cash (only from 1 particular ATM) or I don't purchase it. Most of the time I ended up not buying anything. laugh.gif So far I only use my CC for hotel deposit and Airasia.

My Maybank CC hor... although the CL is very low, they never bother me with phone call at all, insurance and other telemarketing stuff and leaves me at peace. They are so peaceful that, although i swipe thousands of euro on the card overseas, they have not once called me. laugh.gif Save my roaming cost... rclxms.gif
