Second suggestion is CIMB Mastercard. Zero annual fee. 5% cash rebate at GIANT/TESCO/GUARDIAN, 2% at all gas stations. That could save you quite some money if you do groceries shopping frequently. Another plus point is easy repayment, as CIMB Bank is almost everywhere.

wow! has it? I heard from my friends very hard to get them to waive...i thought its the same for all MBB cards?
I recall from somewhere that you may need to spend above quite a high limit to get them to waive the Plat CC fee...wonder if its still true...

Thanks!

This just occurred to me , Lets say for example I applied to several banks for their cc's , I do this because since Im a first timer the not that rich , the likelihood of me getting rejected is greater , so to increase my chances I apply to several of them at once.

But lets say by the stroke of fortune i get accepted say from 5 banks , but now I dont want so many , I just want one or two.

If the bank issues the credit card , and i go to them and tell them , "ok.. the thing is.. my mamak stall was infested with rats and i had to shut it down , so i dont think i can risk having any more outstanding balances , therefore I really dont need it" ,

Will they bank have a grudge against me and blacklist me or something ?

Also what is the proper way of cancelling a cc , Should I just pay the outstanding balances , and then just stop using the CC , or should I call the bank and tell them , please purge my accounts ?

Aren't DA and generic CIMB CC benefits more or less the same?

Actually the SCB VI is the best credit card in M'sia for now, especially for a frequent traveller based on the following :

1)  Unlimited free priority pass visits   
2)  5X reward points for overseas charges 
3)  Unlimited choice of rewards ie. you can tell them what you want instead of just choosing from a catalogue 
4)  No expiry of reward points 
5)  Free annual fee 
6)  Free RM50 tax rebate 
7)  Best overseas insurance coverage & car assist 

Guess there are tons more, but you can find out for yourself 

I believe its only for their Islamic cards  ..........

And thanks for the confirmation in respect to maybank as was told at their treat fair that its only for their islamic cards

so if petrol rebate is the issue here, what card are more preferable? CIMB Petronas confirm rebate all the time but for petronas only. DA rebate to all petrol station, but only until the end of the month? is there any indicators that DA will make it all time promotion?

Anyone with the Standard Chartered Priority Banking Visa Infinite credit card?
Mind to share the starting credit limit of this card?
Thank you.

Reward point also face depreciation, haha. Guess other banks will follow suit in short time.

Cash rebate is better? I havent seen banks revise their cash rebate %

Darn...HSBC amanah! I applied thrice and all were rejected without reason.
I never have an Islamic card. Will it really be rejected at non-halal places? How do the banks do that?

Just checked CIMB website. RM50 voucher is still redeemable with 10,000 pts. But the RM8 courier fee really sux.

mr standard chartered! omg you're kidding me?
platinum cards have become so worthless now.

If i buy tiger beer at Tesco, cannot swipe Islamic card? If so, the card terminal is so smart la

Really? Last year only 9500 pts? Well that's a depreciation of 500/9500 = 5.26%

Anyway, 10k pts redeem RM50 is the norm amongst most banks.

HSBC is generous in giving out cash rebates (got T&C), but stingy on points redemption.

Where on HSBC banking login can see reward point balance? I don't see it anywhere

Planning to save reward points for some time to get MAS Enrich miles

Chase, it should be RM50 voucher, not RM100.

haih not just that la, even cash redemption increase from 11k to 12.5k. dammit

just sharing - yday i went to the maybank treats centre, thought of using my points to pay for service tax, my card's anniversary day is in Nov, therefore, I can't even auto instruct it to do so.....and the customer service says i nit to come again in nov or call the customer service in nov....

therefore, if you want to use your maybank treat points for your service tax, do it on the month of your card's anniversary day

quick question,

is there any international charges like using MBB visa platinium to pay something at australia?

thanks
but 0.5% in AUD or RM?

hihihehe:
AUD$100 + 0.5% = AUD$100.50 = RM301.50
RM300 + 0.5% = RM301.50
Exch AUD$1=RM3

No difference lah....

BTW, Maybank's admin charges + forex < money changer's rate

Hi, does HSBC and Public Bank have Electronic statements and E-Statements that they send to your E-mail monthly?
