I have the same issue with Maybank and worse is I had them cancel it last year December yet the card was still active and went through the above. Eventually they did settle reversing it BUT it's still on my Maybank2U. Will see if it's really cancel or just left showing online only.

Lousy system/process then and what a hassle.... Citibank would deactivate the a/c for that card almost immediately.
Did contact the CS to remove them about few weeks back but still the same. I'm not bothered if the cancellation is confirmed .

Seng_Kiat: It's your fault not updating the merchants. You should know which card has which merchan'ts auto-debit.

people...wana ask. what's the best card for petrol benefits?

For someone in his early 30s earning RM 25k a month without any prior commitment or credit history, which bank do you suggest him apply for his first credit card? He plans to get either World Mastercard or Visa Infinite or Platinum cards. Which bank is most likely to approve his application and give highest limit for a first timer like him? His CCRIS, CTOS is clean 100%. A virgin in short.

Yah, you are absolutely correct with your statement if purely petrol up to RM600/month.

I was thinking of changing my Citi Clear Card to Citi Cash Back Platinum, so did some reading and decided not to waste my time applying for the new card after writing about it in my blog. The 0.3% cash back is so ridiculous.

If interested to know my thoughts on the Citibank Cash Back Platinum Credit Card and EON Visa Signature, click here to my blog.

@hye - I only brought up the argument about that imperialist nation  because someone else in the thread inquired about it.

Are you all aware of the percentage of expat workers in kl ? Do you think everyone gets very high pay ? Ofcourse not , as someone said in this thread , if you in this country then you are subject to its laws , Meaning that we are also subject to the sorry pay scale here in good ol truly asia.

Taking into account the scores of aliens here in KL , you would imagine the banks to be a little bit more considerate when asking for a requirement , I understand if local banks have stringent requirements , but why do overseas banks have them ? Being in this country alien banks should understand the pay scales of people , and then setup requirements accordingly.

Dont get me wrong , there are some considerate banks here too , but the overseas banks are the worst to deal with. Alien banks should have more understanding for the aliens here in kl , whose numbers I might add as I mentioned before is extremely high ? Dont believe me , stroll down bangsar , or how about mont kiara a whole community made specifically for aliens , do you think all of them make 100k? OFcourse not !

Public Bank Classic and Gold cards now spark a new design. Somehow the Classic cards look more like a Platinum card than the actual Platinum card

Ths issue here is not the time duration but wheather you will actually require such limit and most important of all, can you pay it back if fully utilised. Lots of people nowadays actually seems to have problem with repayment, even their PTPTN loan at minimal interest also cannot afford to pay, wonder how well they will cope with CC interest?? 

my friend applied for platinum card before. the banker who called to verify his application informed him that he doesnt fulfill the criteria and offered him gold instead. so, no they dont say get lost or eff off.

it might cause problem if you are overseas, when you are required to proves that the card is yours. if your card name is different from your passport...

DA has made a smart decision last year. The bank issued me a new Platinum Visa with expiry date 12/10 to replace the existing Gold Visa which was expiring in Jan2010, therefore avoided from being charged RM50 tax too early. Damn smart

whut u mean by the interest is not worth it?

This is the reply from a Direct Access Customer Service Officer. Hope this helps.

yah in hong kong and macau, they give you a choice, charge at foreign currency or RM. you make the call.

Not changing to MYR currency seem to be cheaper for me...

Hi Guys, I need help here.

I would like to make an online advance payment to one hotel in Thailand using my CIMB petronas mastercard. The problem is i never done this before (only use my cc for petrol). I already made the reservation then the hotel owner foward me the link as image below.

First time try, the above image pop up.

Second time try, they mention my password wrong

What the hell is this SCB doing! I saw an annual fee of RM200 charged on my online statement. When SCB launched JustOne card last year, it was clearly stated that AF is automatically waived if your yearly spending exceeds RM15,000. I just call SCB CS to query, and was informed SCB would only waive the AF upon request.
