It's a statutory requirement to register with BEM but most of them didn't actually do that. And of course if you're charting for PE/Ir. path, you need to register both.

Frankly speaking, DA upgraded my card to Platinum last year even though my annual income didn't reach that level.

it seems that cimb has approved my cc application (I called the card center on Wed last week). been wondering when will the bank start calling me informing about the approval. when will the card be ready? any idea?

I doubt that they'll call for that.

They'll only call you to verify certain information that they suspect or no confidence.

I don't really get what you meant exactly. my application has been approved already, i called the card center thrice to confirm it.
Anyway, I think I better get my ass to the branch where I sent the application form to get clarification from them.

Just got charged RM50 to my AMEX gold and SonyCard, so total RM100. Damn it. I dont even apply for SonyCard initially and now need to pay for the stupid service tax. Feel like want to cancel both card soon next year, before the stupid tax being imposed again.

suddenly thinking on upgrading my CIMB CC to platinum. i'm manager for my own company which annual income more than enough than the platinum requirement. but for info, i'm only studied till SPM. is there any chance for me to apply platinum?

As long as annual income more than required, u can apply. Sometimes even when your annual income is below what required, they will give it to u too.

I just did a cash advance using the CC. I desperate need cash and the interest .. lol .. I gonna settle it on next month .. Just withdraw RM1k,lol..

If you tick "collect card at branch" in your application form, you'll be informed of your approved card by mail. The mail will tell you which branch to collect from and by when you should collect it (personal experience). They don't call you to tell you to collect your card.

Otherwise, I guess the card will be mailed directly to your house.

thanks man. I got it already. Now I can pay my exam fees in installment. 2010 is such a great year for me.

Greetings all.

I'd like to cancel one of my cards - Is it better to write to the bank or should I just do it via the phone?

Just get my GSC Eon Bank Card..with CL less than my salary..lol..very disappointed with local bank..

Why you choose this paticular card? Watch movies a lots?

Try CIMB. They normally give CL about 3X your monthly salary.

Yeah..quite often..

I really hate this GSC card. Caused a lot of problems to other users. Once I saw a family queuing for some popcorn and they did not notice the tiny GSC notice on the top. The counter just opened and a few people went to that lane...can't blame them. That family argued with the cashier for quite a while coz the counter was quite misleading. I almost went there myself until I noticed something shining on the top.

These GSC-specific counters are a nice feature to having a card, especially movie-goers. But the hassle to every other single CC user...not good.

Does the DA platinum credit is very high? more than 10k?

if not mistaken, minimum CL is 20k or 22k

A question..

If one applies a first cc from CIMB,what are the chances that it gets approved?..no loans,no credit cards yet..

if you meet the minimum income requirement, 99% no problem
