Combined Credit Limit : 5,000.00
Combined Current Balance : 1,731.08
Combined Available Limit : 3,268.92

Can anyone can explain to me the Current Balance is what? How much I use or the credit I can use?
How about the the Available Limit?

Quite confusing for the terms..

It is not confusing bro .... if you use your card and aware on how much you have been using it, it is very straight forward.
* This bank uses the terminology "Combined" to indicate total credit / debit for all the cards issued to an individual by this bank.

Combined Credit Limit : Credit limit assigned by the bank to your card or multiple cards
Combined Current Balance How much you have use. A more straight forward word would be - 'Amount owe' Banks would not say it like this coz some customers may find this word offensive - so they use any other word/term which has the same indication 'owe to the bank'
Combined Available Limit : Available credit left for you to use.

How to avoid the biggest mistake with a balance Transfer

There is no single more important thing to remember about balance transfers than the following.
Never, ever, ever, spend on a card after balance transferring to it!

Why it’s such an expensive nightmare

Credit cards allow us to do a number of different things such as spend on them, shift balances to them or withdraw cash. These are all different transaction types and it’s the interactions between them that cause the problem.

    * Each type of transaction has a different interest rate. While it might be 0% for balance transfers, any new purchases will get a much higher interest rate and cash withdrawals even higher.
    * Your repayments will go towards clearing the debt you transferred first. You don’t choose what your repayments go to, the credit card company does. And lenders will make your repayments go towards paying off your balance which is at a lower interest rate first.

This means the expensive debts from spending are effectively trapped, speedily accruing interest, and you can’t repay them until you’ve cleared all the cheap debt. Thus you can be racking up debt which you will eventually have to repay later. Clearly credit card providers make their money this way because they want you to spend whilst you are paying off your balance you transferred to them. To avoid this situation it would be better to get a second card with a low purchase rate.


Quoted from http://www.creditcardfinder.com.au/balance...edit-cards#best

Recently, I took Eon CC Balance Transfer to transfer balance from other bank. It is 48 months plan with 14.99% one-time interest. I have transferred about RM2000 to the card and pay monthly about RM42 (except for 1st month, pay RM300 for the one time interest).

I have a question here. If let say I use the card for a purchase worth RM100, and I pay RM148 before the due date, will RM48 goes to BT and RM100 to the purchase I made? Or all of them go to BT until I settle it?

Thanks.

They'll transfer the outstanding amount you requested for in the form by paying that outstanding amount to the bank.

Slight add on to this info. For HSBC somehow they do track your application with other banks.
If you apply 3 cards at the same time and one of them is HSBC ... HSBC auto throw your application to the trash can.

Just to comment on this. Whenever you apply for CC (or other loan facilities), a record will be put into your CCRIS with status like "Pending approval" or something. I knew this becoz last time when I went to BNM to get my CCRIS report, I saw my-then-pending credit card app from EON Bank with the credit limit shown.

Obviously if your credit card is approved, the ccris will show this as your loan facility. If not approved, the record will be removed in the following month. So it's possible for HSBC to check from your CCRIS how many credit card apps you've pending for the current month.

It is actually 14.99% for 48 months which is equal to 3.75% p.a.

It's equivalent to 3.75% flat per annum if paid in 4 years. Still cheaper than personal loan and some hire purchase rate out there.

A good BT program will create a new account for your BT amounts instead of piling it in your existing card. DA/CIMB does it and without any upfront fee or interest too wub.gif wub.gif

Where did EON bank put the balance? Directly to your EONbank credit card? If yes then I assume that RM48 will go to BT and the rest will go to your current balance. But if they do it this way I'd strongly suggest swiping more on the same card cause the interest calculation wont be transparent.

I personally do not have any experience with BT other than DA. They did it like this :

Say limit is RM5000, I BT from other cards RM3000.

My DA card now will have a RM2000 limit but a separate account was created to handle BT (with RM3000 balance). So when I pay I have to pay to 2 different accounts.

It'll withhold full amount until you repay it slowly in monthly amount.

I've sent my application for Tesco-RHB cc today at RHB Easy Mutiara Damansara's Tesco. This is my very first time applying for cc. As salaried employee, they need me to furnish my salary slip for 2months as well as my EPF Statement which can be obtained very easily at the RHB counter. 1 week pending approval is needed and another 1 week of card-preparing is to be allocated upon approval. I'm approaching my 3rd month of employment. Wish me luck. LOL

Why Tesco RHB? ---> My family <heart> Tesco

Darn it ... just checked my monthly statement and it seems like HLB didn't include the 3X bonus points as mentioned earlier with every CC swipe. Anyone using HLB CC here ?

Current Balance(System show) : 1,731.08

Used : 2896.08

Installment : 1760 (295 monthly)
Normal usage : 1136.08
Balance(Carry forward last month) : 300

Why system show 1731.08 instead of 2896.08 since I already use 2896.08?



Calculation :
2896.08 - 1760 +300 + 295 = 1731.08

That mean the balance is already exclude the amount of installment. Complicated.. rclxub.gif

Thanks.
