Actually, age is only a factor if you are below the legal age. For your case, its because of income/net worth. If you are say, a CEO of your own company or has substantial FDs with them, then guaranteed approved. Had a friend, already owning multiple plat cards even as a student as he has millions in FDs (that time, no WMC or VI)
And yes, agreed with you, the only thing hot about the Mall is in its name

But i was told that my age is the main reason why they asked for my income document. The minimum credit line can be given to the World MasterCard really is RM100k and since they do not know my exact financial status, they were having doubts granting me an unsecured credit card with such high credit line. I only have savings account at CIMB Bank. All my time deposits are at the non-GLC banks. Told them all my incomes are passive incomes from time deposits and ASB/ASW2020. They asked me if i have any FD with them but i said no. So they said the only way is to submit my income document because they have no access into other banks' system.

The point is you have no income.
I do have and it is all passive income

And i am not comfortable showing my FD certificates to other banks.

MilesAndMore, maybe it is time to transfer some money into OCBC
No. You misunderstood. It wasn't OCBC that requested for my income document. It was CIMB Bank. I tried to apply for their World MasterCard. Apparently two other people here managed to apply for the card using their HSBC Premier MasterCard and they did not have to submit their income documents at all. They both got the card in just one hour
Anyway, i initially was told that all they need is my existing credit card. They asked me how much is the credit line of my credit card and later found out that mine is eligible

They didn't even ask me if i was earning RM200,000/pa. They did however ask where do i work but i told them i am not working at the moment. I asked them if it is okay if i give them my dad's company as the place i am working in and they told me that would be fine too and that's it. They did't even ask for the company's telephone numbers. I was told to come back an hour later but when i did, i was told that their credit card centre request for my income document. I told them that is not possible as all my incomes are passive income and i am not comfortable showing them my bank statement from another bank. So i just told them to cancel it.
