I also not sure how it really works, in my understanding, whatever interest paid to the card (finance charge) will be entitle 50% rebate (Jan 2011 to July 2011) and 33% rebate (August 2011 onwards).

Rebate on finance charges is not an attraction to apply for the card.... you will get yourself in deep debt later on.

The OCBC titanium from 2011 onwards, the maximum capped at only RM50. Meaning that the only maximum rebate per month is only RM50?

Yes, 1 month RM50 is enough to off set RM50 tax... tongue.gif

Most likely to be 5%.

Simply charge RM10,000 in a year and they will give you RM50 to pay for the credit card service tax.

Yes. It is. The bank is Singaporean and is the largest bank in Southeast Asia after DBS Bank.

Probably only those over the counter transactions which require you to sign on the receipt will be taken into account.

Insurance doesn't entitle for 5% rebate, because it is a premium, not utility, so it falls under 1% rebate.

The Titanium card looks a lot like a plat card. For those not in the know, they will go blink.gif upon seeing it.

OCBC Titanium only allows us to spend RM2000 per month on Petrol/Gas Stations/Grocery Stores/Utility Bills/Restaurant and another RM2000 per month on other Retail transactions.

Then after Dec 2010, we can spend RM1000 per month on Petrol/Gas Stations/Grocery Stores/Utility Bills/Restaurant OR RM5000 per month on other Retail transactions.

You are right. The main reason I am getting OCBC Titatium is mainly for petrol as I will be getting 5%. My petrol itself a month is more than RM1K and can easily qualify for the auto GST waiver and Annual fees. So comes 2011, maximum savings I can get is RM650/year (incl GST) just from petrol. Not to forget since I pump at Esso, I am also getting another 1.5% cash back using Smiles Points.

Another feature of OCBC Titanium is the 0% interest for transactions until year end (just like what AMEX Gold CC offerred when it was launched last year). This CC competition is great, I am getting 0% "loan" every year. Comes December, BT it to DA and I will get 1 year 0% interest free "loan".

Yah, fill the form and then print it and fax it to them together with a photocopy of your IC and a CC which is more than a year. With both that info they can go check your records.


QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Aug 19 2010, 01:58 AM)
ocbc titanium cc looks good but anyone knows about the balance transfer? how long is it for the 0%?

BT 0% for 6 months, offer until end of year and for new card holders only.

So fast update your blog, Gen-X haven't update his one.

smile.gif I just applied for the card yesterday. Once I get the card, then I will udate my blog on the process and time frame for approval. The CS told me fastest way to get approval is fax to them as it goes to the department processing the card, where as application made at branches is dependant on when they sent it to HQ.

Planning to do a comparison of cash back cards the weekend before Merdeka.

IF we apply the OCBC Titanium now, it will charge you the RM50 for 2010, right ?
We get GST waiver only for 2011 onwards if you spend RM10k per year.

Aren't u satisfactory with 5% rebate? You earn rebates faster than other cards, so there's no reason to grumble on the GST being not waived for the first year.

My message is : Don't take GST tax waiver for granted.

For OCBC Titanium,

Does Auto-debit for Maxis/Astro entitled to 5% rebate ?
How about shoppoing for Grocery at Jusco's Supermarket ?
Do they give out bonus points for accumulation ?

hmmm... i just checked this months US$ transactions on my alliance bank CC and i dont see a 1% handling fee. transaction date is 1.8.2010 and the exchange rate applied when converting RM to US$ via http://corporate.visa.com/pd/consumer_serv..._ex_results.jsp with 0% bank fee is 3.1755 which is the exact rate i get from my statement when i divide the amount in RM by the amount charged in US$. maybe i need to check - or do they treat the cards differently. card in question is a priority banking plat card.

Gen-X, from the savings calculator, seems like petrol is capped at RM30 per month, so your yearly rebate is only RM360.

Don't worry too much.
As long the annual fee waiver is on the condition of swipe counts, not spending amount, it's not too hard to get.

Thanks to PJusa, I was able to make some comparisons of the rate Bank Alliance charges vs. the Card Issuer. Details is in the blog but in a nutshell:
Alliance Bank is no longer a 0% admin charge bank. Maybe 0% is now reserved for their priority banking customers. Hope PJusa can share more data on his other transactions.

zenquix,

interesting indeed. i only have one, tops two US$ transactions on my alliance card per month so i cant really plot too much. but i did check the rates for transaction dates for the last 2 months (well only 4 transactions so not representative) but they all reflect the rate posted by visa with 0% charge. i also called CC customer service to double check and they did confirm that my card (and they claim all plat cards do) dont have any admin fee from the bank imposed.

did you compare only US$ transactions or did you also look into other currency purchases?

zenquix,

this is a normal plat card i got when the account was converted to prio status a couple of years ago. the contract signed did also state 0% charge. maybe this has changed in the meantime and they only honour old contracts?


Added on August 20, 2010, 9:24 amyes it does seem their conditons have changed. cardmember agreement clause 13.3 now reads:

13.3 Foreign currency transactions are first converted to US Dollars through Visa International or MasterCard International before the US Dollars are subsequently converted to Ringgit Malaysia on the date the transaction is posted into Cardmember’s VISA/MASTERCARD CARD Account. The rate of exchange on the date of such posting may therefore differ from the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. The Bank will also impose a fee of 1% being administration charges for such transactions.

my cardmember agreement reads 0% instead and i never got a new one from them either or any sort of notification that this has changed. so it might be possible that a) they honour their old agreement or b) i calculate wrongly wink.gif

Thanks for the info. I am holding a plat as well (my card is more than a year old) so this case of double standards is another nail in the coffin. I guess I am not alone in the case of high charges since it has been reported by winner several times. The fact that it is higher than Amex doh.gif

The best card from Maybank should be AMEX Gold CC or Ikhwan AMEX Gold.

Both offers 5x point at any petrol stations.

On top of that, AMEX Gold CC offers 5x points for groceries and books at participating merchants and Autopay for telecommunication bills.

In contrary, Ikhwan AMEX only offers 2x points for other swipe than petrol.

2K at 0% interest

I guess the interest is 17,5%

If not 0%, the interest would be RM350 / year if not paid back .... so you can save RM350 per year

If that makes sense biggrin.gif

Thanks for the info. I am holding a plat as well  (my card is more than a year old) so this case of double standards is another nail in the coffin. I guess I am not alone in the case of high charges since it has been reported by winner several times. The fact that it is higher than Amex  doh.gif

There was no double standards. I was Alliance PB customer but the currency conversion done on my Visa Platinum seemed to be a bit high compared with other cards. And now, I have terminated my PB account as well as the Visa Platinum with Alliance last week. I was disappointed as Alliance rejected my request to compensate me with 10,000 points for the RM50 service tax which will be charged next month.

This OCBC Titanium MC comes timely as a replacement to my Alliance Visa Platinum which has just been cancelled last week. I have just submitted the application to OCBC HQ today, and hopefully I will get the card next week.

Yes. 5% cash back for any petrol station company. The maximum rebate for petrol is capped at RM30 though. What's more, just charge RM10,000 to your card in a year and they will credit an extra RM50 into your account to help you to pay for the credit card service tax thumbup.gif

winner, I am surprised that you closed your PB with Alliance. They are offering 3.3% for 1 year FD presently and Debit card gets 2% cash rebate.

From your previous posts you do seem to spend a lot and therefore should be getting max rebate per month at RM68+, that's RM18 more a month than OCBC RM50/month which works out to be RM216/year and after deducting RM50 for GST still get RM166 more than OCBC Titanium and that's not including the reward points (can get up to 60,000 points if spend RM5K/monthly which gets you about RM200 JJ shopping vouchers).

Than again, you got Just One thumbup.gif

In my opinion Alliance Plat is a pretty good card (not considering the CS which can be damn lousy depending on who is attending to you) if one spends about RM5K/month.

QUOTE(jonuslee @ Aug 20 2010, 10:01 PM)

Yes if purely for petrol, groceries and utilitles as it has auto annual fee waiver and GST waiver.

No. in terms of merchants/outlets discount and overseas spending (other cards offer 2X reward points).

No if you spend more than RM1K month as rebate capped at RM50/month comes next year. See my comments on Alliance Plat above.

In my opinion, this card is good as a primary card and once hit the maximum capped amount, start swipping with another card.

Just do an online IBG Giro. Depends on which bank you transfer the money from, the charge can vary from a mere RM0.50 to RM2.00.

I was rather disappointed with Alliance as when I requested an alternative incentive from them pertaining to the service tax, they immediately said NO without any hesitation. In the end, I cancelled my Alliance Visa Platinum and closed the premium account. Anyway, I downgraded the Premium debit card to Platinum debit card, and I still can get 1.5% cash back from the Platinum debit card instead of 2% rebate from the Premium debit card.

Besides, with the fresh yearly cash back from SCB JustOne, I don't need Alliance anymore, at least for the time being.

Don't forget that the OCBC Titanium offers 5% cash back for Dining. This option is unique compared to the other cards.

Just wondering - I have a HSBC card here which has a credit guarantee from HSBC offshore (UK) as I don't have any income or savings at all in Malaysia, would this still gain me any kind of credit rating here if I'm paying off my card in full each month, to allow me to maybe apply for a different card in the future?

On Wednesday called HLB as I can't seem to find my HLB Plat card which I have not been using since this year. Got a call today to collect the card at the branch and they even waived the fees for the replacement card. Pretty good service I must say. Too bad HLB don't have much promotion that benefits me but they gave me auto 3 years annual fees waiver and 20,000 reward points which is enough to offset the GST for 3 years since I only need 7000 points to offset GST yearly.

For people who are thinking of getting Direct Access card, my advise is to get CIMB instead as it is also free for life without condition. Last weekend was at MPH subang parade and bought some books with DA WMC, supposed to get RM5 voucher for every RM50, but the staff at MPH said that's for CIMB card holder only eventhought CIMB website ad clearly states the offer is for CIMB and DA Mastercard holders. On top of the vouchers, CIMB/DA MC also get 5% rebate until end of this year at MPH.

Click below for MPH offer with CIMB/DA

yah, you are right, do get 5% rebate for dining thumbup.gif Great for places that do not offer extra points or discount for a particular CC.

hahaha, me got no idea what the code means. I am waiting for the card and then only go clarify those codes. I guess they have to fine tune their offer and that's why haven't been marketing the Titatium card in the media.


Talking about dining, CIMB/DA gives up 10% at Starbucks everyday and on weekends at KFC and Bugger King! Click below for details.

Yes. It will be recorded in your CCRIS. As for allowing you to apply for a different card. The banks require you to provide your employment details too. Not exactly sure how you're going to pull that off though.

They are not supposed to nor are you supposed to tolerate such nonsense. If got proof, do report the incident to the bank.
The problem with Malaysian consumer is that they tolerate it because they want to use credit card.

winner,

they really treated you bad. i would complain if i were you - call the complaints dep and make some noise esp. why on earth they made you leave.

but the card is still the best in terms of cashback. if you always hover on or above 5k spending you get 68.75 monthly cashback + points. 21,800 pts = 100 cash voucher so you end up around 1,100 cash back annually. i didnt manage to find a better deal so far.

I actually applied for HSBC CC online since they r having the cashback promotion. On the same date itself, i submitted my documents to one of the officer in Puchong branch, then she said will contact me in case of anything. But she never did, I sms her asking my condition, she tak layan, call her, then she sounds very terrible, like I kacau her. WTF is this...

And a month later, today morning, I received sms from hsbc, saying my application is declined because they DID NOT heard anything from me! now this is very irritating.... Y they treat customer like shit!?

Oh yes I also heard about that. You can't have more than one Generic card of the same type (Visa/Mastercard).
Like miles said, ask for an upgrade from the bank.

Don't forget that the OCBC Titanium offers 5% cash back for Dining. This option is unique compared to the other cards. The utilities cash back also does not seem to infer that direct debit is required so quite easy to get rebates from those electricity and water bills.... challenge is where to pay... ^@%# merchant code

And cash rebate for dining is worldwide, not only Malaysia, I can't find any other cards can offer this.

winner,

they really treated you bad. i would complain if i were you - call the complaints dep and make some noise esp. why on earth they made you leave.

but the card is still the best in terms of cashback. if you always hover on or above 5k spending you get 68.75 monthly cashback + points. 21,800 pts = 100 cash voucher so you end up around 1,100 cash back annually. i didnt manage to find a better deal so far.
*
It's OK, as I had have the intention to downgrade my Alliance Privilege Banking Premium debit card to Alliance Personal Platinum debit card long ago. Reason being I hardly utilised the debit card, as I still prefer credit over debit. Also, I transferred the money to other kind of investment which could give higher returns in the short to medium term.

I do agree that Alliance's cash back per month or per year is thus far the highest in the market. I also benefited from the maximum cash back received, i.e., RM68.78 for many many months. However, if I did not spend RM5,000 per month on Alliance Platinum cc, the amount of cash back was insignificant. Further, there are not many interesting stuffs that can be redeemed under Alliance's reward programme. The points required for redemption are also rather high compared with Amex, MBB, SCB and CIMB.

I am sorry, might not in the right thread, but since we talk about CC, have you guys heard of EPP for CC. It's like there are companies that offers service on convert our CC outstanding into monthly payment with lower interest. Can get cash some more from the balance left.

Can it be trusted?

Not exactly sure about HSBC Advance VISA Platinum since this card is still so new. Anyway, for the HSBC Premier MasterCard and the rest of the HSBC Generic credit cards, it all comes with its dedicated credit limit. Credit cards issued by HSBC Amanah is not combined with HSBC credit cards either (if you any any).

I know monthly is good, but there are some insurance policies which will incur interest charges if the policyholder wishes to pay premium monthly.
With CIMB's interest free 10 months instalment plan, the yearly premium is split to 10 fractions.

Give them a call. There might be a form you need to fill in. You'll have to submit your proof of income to prove you justify for the credit limit increase.

Hmm .. if you are referring to the services that converts yours purchase to EPP above RM500 value offered by the bank. Yes,it is. But if its other party who convert it for you - its better for you to check with the bank whether does this company exist in their approval list.

It might be illegal or worse its a scam.

I called SCB customer service last month to ask about GST waiver, he told me spend 3 transactions BEFORE anniversary & will credit 11k reward points so I can use it to redeem RM50 GST waiver. Last week I called again to confirm, this officer told me another story which I need to spend 3 transactions AFTER anniversary to entitle 11k reward points. I wonder which one is the reliable info. Anyone get the 11k rewards points before? Thanks.. smile.gif

Count OCBC Bank in. It will credit RM50 to your account on your anniversary month provided you have charged at least RM10,000 to your card in one year.

I believe you must charge the insurance policy to your CIMB CC first; meaning pay large sum to the insurance company.

Once the transaction appears in your statement, call CS to convert it to Smart Flexi Pay.

Same method goes to i.pay plan.

0% EPP CC payment requires different operating procedures on the CC terminal and the merchant must be equipped with terminal supplied by CIMB. ( That's the reason why you'll see Harvey Norman, Senq, Courts etc have so many terminals on it's cashier's counter) If it is a normal credit card payment transaction, CIMB is absorbing the interest cost by paying the the insurance company's banker in full after deducting the shared standard merchant discount rate and on the other hang allowing its own card member to pay by 12 interest free monthly installments ?

I believe CIMB/DA smart flexi plan is not equal to the 0% EPP.
A person has to call/sms to convert the transaction (insurance/education/hospital) to 10 months interest-free installment after the transaction posted.
The full amount of the transaction is billed but later on got offset (debit) by the same amount after the conversion. The transaction doesn't need special terminal like EPP needed.
CIMB is absorbing the potential return from smart flexi plan but they are "hoping" a credit card user not able to settle monthly installment in full.

What are you referring to is the installment programme created from the partnership between participating merchants and the bank. That's why it requires bank terminal and during the swipe, the cashier needs to select for easy payment plan/installment plan from the terminal itself.

Whereas, their another type of installment programme offered by the bank and you can convert any general swipe of large sum amount (subjected to min amount) into installment plan of certain period with one-time fee (like CIMB i.pay plan and CIMB SmartFlexi Pay) or low interest (like Maybank EasyPay Plus).

The method of transaction is not restricted. You can opt to swipe over the counter, or submit the appropriate form (consult your insurance agent) to the insurance company. When the transaction is posted, you may call the Card Centre and say you want convert the transaction (in this case, INSURANCE) into a flexi pay plan.

All Insurance companies accept CIMB flexi pay ?
As long as the insurance company accepts CIMB credit card, you may wish to apply for its flexi pay plan.

Standard Chartered Preferred Banking has finally arrived on our shore. Click HERE to find out more.

You'll need to place RM72,000 of deposit with them in order to open this account. Alternatively, you can also open this account by applying for the Preferred Banking World MasterCard using your payslip. The minimum required income is RM72,000/pa. Not exactly sure if this Preferred Banking World MasterCard is a complimentary card like its more prestigious cousin, the Priority Banking VISA Infinite.

I believe CIMB/DA smart flexi plan is not equal to the 0% EPP.
A person has to call/sms to convert the transaction (insurance/education/hospital) to 10 months interest-free installment after the transaction posted.
The full amount of the transaction is billed but later on got offset (debit) by the same amount after the conversion. The transaction doesn't need special terminal like EPP needed.
CIMB is absorbing the potential return from smart flexi plan but they are "hoping" a credit card user not able to settle monthly installment in full.

QUOTE(David83 @ Aug 22 2010, 08:43 PM)
What are you referring to is the installment programme created from the partnership between participating merchants and the bank. That's why it requires bank terminal and during the swipe, the cashier needs to select for easy payment plan/installment plan from the terminal itself.

Whereas, their another type of installment programme offered by the bank and you can convert any general swipe of large sum amount (subjected to min amount) into installment plan of certain period with one-time fee (like CIMB i.pay plan and CIMB SmartFlexi Pay) or low interest (like Maybank EasyPay Plus).

QUOTE(chemistry @ Aug 22 2010, 09:37 PM)
What is the method of payment if card member opted to use flexi pay plan ? Pay online via Insuance Co's web site or CIMB's web site or must go to insurance company cashier counter to tell you want to flexi pay ?
The method of transaction is not restricted. You can opt to swipe over the counter, or submit the appropriate form (consult your insurance agent) to the insurance company. When the transaction is posted, you may call the Card Centre and say you want convert the transaction (in this case, INSURANCE) into a flexi pay plan.

All Insurance companies accept CIMB flexi pay ?
As long as the insurance company accepts CIMB credit card, you may wish to apply for its flexi pay plan.
*
Thanks for the clarification.

So is it with one time fee or is it absolutely FREE as per ad below for Smart Flexi-Pay Plan ?
Smart Flexi can apply to over sea education fee as well ? Is there a loan limit ?

My insurance premium is paid annually. Kinda burdening when it is due and we are not yet ready for it.
Luckily CIMB CC offers flexi pay plan to relieve my cash flow. rclxms.gif  thumbup.gif

Hi guys, i have just received a sms from CIMB requesting me to call back a credit card officer for my cc application. and before this, i received a call marked 'private call', no display of phone no, hung up when i answered. just wondering why wud bank give private call?and y cant they call me instead of me callin them back?don ask me how i was certain that it was the bank which gave me private call, hahaha, i guess it has to be them bcoz it happened right before i received the sms
*
There's some cases that customer refuse to give info on the officer that initiate the call, worried that it might be some scammer asking for personal information. Moreover some people refuse to answer call from "Private number". So that's why they send you the SMS to call them back.

I Pay Plan (IPP) will come with one time interest, charged on the first month. For Smart Flexi Payment (FPP) , as long it is education, hospital or insurance, you can convert into the plan. Oversea education fee also can be converted into Smart Flexi as well. But to avoid any hassle, make sure there's a word "university" or "college" in the merchant description. Or else they will ask you to fax over the invoice. And yes, Smart Flexi is absolutely free.

Loan limit you mean as the maximum amount? For Flexi payment no maximum. Minimum is RM50. Even your insurance RM150 charged into your card also can convert into FPP.

For IPP, the maximum is RM 30k, minimum RM 500.

By the way in terms of "hospital bill", as far as I am concern is not applicable for optometrist and dental.

Do you include rental income in your tax assessment form?

Your income tax return.

Income tax return is the official documents to prove you are a person of having income and your income is evident by the income tax you paid.
In case your actual annual salary income + rental income is not taxable, it will be good to inflate (adjust) your income under "lain lain pendapatan" accordingly in order to pay a small amount of income tax say RM10.

another question here regarding alliancebank
from the website: alliancebank
"All local and overseas retail purchases except petrol and government agencies will entitle you to 2X rewards throughout the tenure of the card, not just during promotional periods. Your TBP do not expire and you can redeem whenever you like, with special redemption privileges and discounts from time to time."

however, they give me point for telekom payment, but not for tenaga TNB bill payment. they said TNB is government. is it correct?

alliancebank cheat as well

Both companies are GLC. But this doesn't make them a department of the government. Not like those departments such as Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) anyway.

This banking package was unveiled just this morning. Anyway, this card does have better perks actually. For example, it gives you 2x Choice Points if you charge a minimum of RM1500 to the card each month (i think there is a cap though).

Just a side note, not sure if it is high-lighted here before. HSBC Advance a/c will charge RM10 per month from Jan 2011 onwards. Existing HSBC Power Vantage users (RM5/mth) will all auto convert to Advance a/c.

That will be RM120 per year shocking.gif not counting the RM50 govt tax and also the waivable? annual fees, if any.

To me, this SCB World MC's benifits are not very attractive. The only good thing is the 2x points for monthly spending of more than RM1,500. I wanted to apply for it as I am going to perform an extremely huge swipe end of this month.

I went to a Standard Chartered branch this morning, intending to apply for their World MC. It was rather irritating that the branch couldn't take my application as they have yet to receive the official forms from their HQ. Also, they didn't know much about this new product. What a shame!

But this account management fee will be waived provided you have RM20,000 of deposit with them. The RM20,000 could be in time deposit, your Advance Checking Account or any other investments under HSBC Malaysia. Good thing about their Advance Checking Account is that there is no minimum balance to be maintained inside the checking account to avoid the account management fee unlike Maybank's, CIMB Bank's and Public Bank's etc.


QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 24 2010, 12:24 PM)
Existing HSBC Power Vantage users (RM5/mth) will all auto convert to Advance a/c.
There were two types of PowerVantage Account previously. One is the E-Chequeing (RM5/mth) and the other is Full Checking Facility (RM15/mth). The E-Chequeing is very much like the newly introduced Advance account and you need to maintain only RM20,000 of deposit at HSBC to get the RM5 account management fee waived whereas you need to maintain RM60,000 of deposit for the Full Checking Facility to get the fee waived. However, since all existing PowerVantage accounts have all been converted into this Advance Account. The minimum balance to avoid fee is now the same for all account holders which is RM20,000.


QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 24 2010, 12:24 PM)
That will be RM120 per year  shocking.gif  not counting the RM50 govt tax and also the waivable? annual fees, if any.
They made it very clear to me that they are not going to give us any free reward points to help to redeem for the credit card tax sad.gif


QUOTE(winner @ Aug 24 2010, 12:26 PM)
To me, this SCB World MC's benifits are not very attractive. The only good thing is the 2x points for monthly spending of more than RM1,500. I wanted to apply for it as I am going to perform an extremely huge swipe end of this month.

If i'm not mistaken, there is a cap for how many 2x Points you can get. Do check it out.


QUOTE(winner @ Aug 24 2010, 12:26 PM)
I went to a Standard Chartered branch this morning, intending to apply for their World MC. It was rather irritating that the branch couldn't take my application as they have yet to receive the official forms from their HQ. Also, they didn't know much about this new product. What a shame!
LOL ! You should have borrowed their internet and do them a favor by printing out the application form from their own website. Anyway, this isn't too good for the bank's image at all.

Not too sure but shouldn't be a problem if the shipping address entered is a Singapore one. There are many known online stores in the States however, will automatically decline any non-US credit cards even if you can provide a US shipping address.

so actually this SCB world card is it higher standard than platinum? very confuse lehh... last time visa signature come out then everyone say that is higher class than plat card one then citibank come out one visa signature with lower requirement than platinum.. last time also everyone say world mc is very high class one but now come scb world mc with lower than normal plat card requirements in other banks and design also like normal atm card only lo... I think now the bank focus on rewards already lo no more which card high class or not gua... now for sure many ppl can have world mc card easily already lo.. I thought RM6k/month should be platinum requirement but for wolrd card pula... downgrade already.. hahaha...

hi,

im a student-> working life now...
i dont really use much, just maybe once in a while to get a new gadget or paying at restaurant for big occassion.
i am in australia so im not sure if it is the same, (sorry total newbie here )

i think the rate is around 19%, and 55 days interest free? what does it mean? how do i go about? like when will i need to pay the "hutang"?

and if in the stores, usually they say 24 months interest free, what does it mean?

thanks so much!

Different banks have different criterias for positioning of their cards. In SCB's case, it is still positioned above their platinum offerings plus we cannot say that its requirements are that low. Further, since its new, no one can be sure if they are strict or lenience about approval rates or CL granted. Further, in terms of benefits, its not inferior to CIMB's offerings

According to the CS officer, there is no limit to the 2x choice points, i.e., if I swipe RM50k in a month, I will get 100k points.

I need the 2x points next month urgently as the merchant does not accept Amex (which gives 2x points for local purchase).

1x Bonus Point is equivalent to 0.5% cash back too. Anyway, Alliance Bank give 2x Timeless Bonus Points for overseas purchases while Standard Chartered gives up to 5x Choice Points depends on what type of card you're holding. However, please note that Standard Chartered credit card final amount after conversion is always the highest among all the credit card issuers in Malaysia.

Tier 2: 16.5% if made minimum payment promptly at least 10 times in 12 months cycle.
Tier 3: 17.5% if not in tier 1 and 2

Most easy payment scheme will lock up your normal credit limit and u cannot use it until the easy payment clears. So if you deposit extra RM10k, you can do a normal swipe of up to RM20k but easy payment is still RM10k limit.

CIMB World only offer bonus point. They offer double bonus point for oversea transaction.
CIMB Visa Infinite will give you 1% rebate for oversea purchase.
Opps. Typo. I meant to say 2x Bonus Points which is also equivalent to 1% cash back.

I don't think it is a problem as the agent I dealt with also had the same fax number. Although eventually i emailed my application to the agent instead of faxing (and it was to a gmail account). My guess is this is actually an outsource arrangement by OCBC. Info goes to agents who would get contact the customers and get apps + supporting documents to be forwarded to OCBC processing.

OCBC is really efficient. My application was e-mailed to the agent on Monday noon and the application is already in processing status while checking through 1300885000.

Interesting. Although i submitted my application thru the website www.ocbccards.com.my, the agent that eventually contacted me for documents seemed like a 3rd party. What was the steps you took to eventually have the OCBC agent contact you?

At least mine seems legit as I have already gotten the card and using it.

If we already hold a Standard Chartered Bank Priority Banking Visa Infinite, then we are not eligible to apply for the newly launched Preferred World Mastercard.
If you choose the Preferred World Mastercard, then you have to cancel your Visa Infinite and downgrade status to Preferred Banking.
Meaning we are unable to hold both card at the same time, and the Preferred Banking rewards seems to be better than their Priority Banking rewards.
This is what my RM told me, anyone have idea with it?

How about if one cancel his/her VISA Infinite credit card but continue to be a Priority Banking customer and at the same time opening a Preferred Banking account ? Will he/she be able to to apply for the Preferred World MasterCard now considering he/she has canceled his/her VISA Infinite ?

Charge at least RM10,000 into your OCBC Bank credit card per annum and they will credit free RM50 into your account. This information is available in their website too.

No, it's either one you can enjoy only. Same bank but manage by different department.
If you are Priority Banking status, you only eligible for Visa Infinite.
If you are Preferred Banking status, you only eligible for World Mastercard.
This 2 type of banking status cannot be cross over with each other.
Anyway it's my RM which told me. Maybe anyone here have any idea?
Please share. Thank you.

Hahah i meant the contact us form in the website as well smile.gif

Didn't know I am the first. But so far no problems with the card. However according to CS, the rebate is based on statement month, so we only get a RM120 cap from Aug X to Sept X, not RM120 for Aug and RM120 for Sept.

I don't know how I found the website. But after a few clicks, the website turned to new design already (which is advertising 5% rebate). rclxub.gif

Initially I wanted to get a Great Eastern card, because of its 3% rebate if pay by "Easi-Pay". But then I found that their annual fee waiver condition is kinda strict. They demand a yearly spend of RM18k. Oh hell, I don't I can achieve that.

This Titanium card comes with much loose fee waiver condition.
Annual fee waiver : 12 swipes yearly
GST waiver : min RM10k yearly spending

Although I don't think I will swipe 10k in a year, but its 5% rebate can be used to offset, morethan enough.

RM50/month starting from Jan next year. There is still cap now on how much cash back you can earn for the time being but it is much higher. The information is available on the website. Just check the T&C and FAQ of the card.

cash advancement fee RM3000 x 5% = RM150.
finance charges at 17.5% calculated starting from the day you did cash advancement until full settlement.

It states clearly there that you just need to spend RM10k a year and they will cover the RM50 for you. Besides, there isn't reward point to earn as all OCBC Bank credit cards give only cash back.

Cash advance fee each time is 5% and interest is 18% p.a. compounded daily. Without knowing when you start the advance and when you repay in full, can't calculate the exact interest amount.

No no no bro ! The OCBC Titanium MasterCard is now the best credit card in Malaysia giving 5% cash rebate on petrol, dining, utilities, groceries and 1% on all other transactions. Scroll back a few pages back to find out more. We've been talking about it for quite a few days now.

Actually Alliance Bank should be the secondary card once you reach the cap on the OCBC card. You only need to spend RM1k on 5% stuff on the OCBC to max the cap from Jan 2011 onwards and then move your spending to the Alliance Bank card.

Even now there is no point. OCBC Bank has stopped giving reward points to its credit cardholders since June or July last year. Every types of OCBC Bank credit cards are all cash back based since.

I just may do so because i really am not willing to sacrifice my own hard earned reward points to offset the credit card tax. Besides, if one is not exactly a high spender. This is exactly the card you should card.

I don't really like HLB customer service. Long waiting time, lack of Chinese speaking officers etc...
Today I rang OCBC card centre to inquire about Titanium card and requested an application form. The call was answered quickly and he can answer all my inquiries without keep me waiting. I had a pleasant experience.

Hmm...perhaps you need to do a comparison.
Fix your monthly spending pattern, and calculate what you get at the end of the year.

Scenario 1:
TNB = 100
Telekom = 30
Streamyx = 90
Petrol = 120
Groceries = 100
TOTAL = 440

(1) HLB essential
Full year rebate = 440*1%*12 = 52.80

(2) HLB Classic/Gold
Reward point= 440*12 = 5280 pts (equivalent to approx. RM25)

(2) OCBC Titanium
TNB = 100*5% = 5.00
Telekom = 30*1% = 0.30
Streamyx = 90*1% = 0.90
Petrol = 120*5% = 6.00
Groceries = 100*5% = 5.00
Full year rebate = 17.2*12 = 206.40
Net rebate after deducting GST = 156.40

The difference is obvious.

I'm also thinking to do the same way,unfortunately,in my test when it comes to payment stage,it would require you to enter billing information...

The problem is,you need to fill up the billing address in "Country" option box,which only let you select either is Singapore or United State...so I guess it won't work if using MSIA CC...too bad. sad.gif

Hmm...perhaps you need to do a comparison.
Fix your monthly spending pattern, and calculate what you get at the end of the year.

Scenario 1:
TNB = 100
Telekom = 30
Streamyx = 90
Petrol = 120
Groceries = 100
TOTAL = 440

(1) HLB essential
Full year rebate = 440*1%*12 = 52.80

(2) HLB Classic/Gold
Reward point= 440*12 = 5280 pts (equivalent to approx. RM25)

(2) OCBC Titanium
TNB = 100*5% = 5.00
Telekom = 30*1% = 0.30
Streamyx = 90*1% = 0.90
Petrol = 120*5% = 6.00
Groceries = 100*5% = 5.00
Full year rebate = 17.2*12 = 206.40
Net rebate after deducting GST = 156.40

The difference is obvious.
The problem is that the OCBC Titanium MasterCard alone is not enough. Based on my spending pattern (just on fuel, utilities etc.), I would easily hit the RM50 cash rebate quota. Therefore, some of us still need a second or may be a third card and this Hong Leong Bank offer certainly helps.

If you are a new HLB cardholder, you still need to fork out your own money to settle the first year service tax. Further, HLB Visa Essential is not included in this promotion as this card is purely cash back based without being given any points.

Cash advance fee each time is 5% and interest is 18% p.a. compounded daily. Without knowing when you start the advance and when you repay in full, can't calculate the exact interest amount.
*
hi.my exact question is that, there are charges of 18% per annum daily interest for cash advance. so monthly repayment is based on 18% per annum daily interest plus finance charges 17.5% ?

cud u prepare me a simple spreadsheet to show tis. let say i take a 3000 cash advance with a monthly repayment of 200, what are the monthly interests, and how many months to settle it off completely? ofcoz nt using the card for anythin else during the period.

thanks alot.

My Excel skills aren't good enough to create such a spreadsheet. But you can enter the same figures in the online calculators and get the same thing:

For reference, you can find some figures for HSBC here:

Interesting. Although i submitted my application thru the website www.ocbccards.com.my, the agent that eventually contacted me for documents seemed like a 3rd party. What was the steps you took to eventually have the OCBC agent contact you?

At least mine seems legit as I have already gotten the card and using it.

Only 18% per annum. 17.5% is only for retail transaction.

I can show you simple calculation for cash advance interest.

Let say you withdraw RM3000 today.

3000+150 (cash adv fee) = RM 3150

Interest will start tomorrow based on RM3150 not RM 3000.

Let say you made payment after 30 days RM200

(18% x 3150 x 30) / 365 = RM 46.60 (interest imposed after 30 days)

RM3150+RM46.60= RM 3196.60 (total debt including interest)

3196.60 - 200 = 2996.60

========================
Another 30 days you made another payment RM 200

(18% x 2996.60 x 30) / 365 = RM 44.33 (interest imposed after 30 days)

2996.60 + 44.33 = 3040.93 (total debt including interest)

3040.93 - 200 = 2840.93

This is basically simple calculation for the interest. Assuming that you didnt do any other retail transaction, and you made payment every 30 days.

But as you can see in 2 months you made payment Rm 400 but the amount only reduce by small margin because of the interest (actually the cash advance fee that kill you in the first place)

By the way this is the calculation taught by 1 of CIMB CS to me last year, and I think it is still relevant.

Cheers.

MilesAndMore,

i am not too keen on using many cards but yes the discount on specifics is higher. will have to check my spending pattern to determine if it's worth having the card though. and then i have to constantly check if i exceeded the 1k spending or not - i wish there's be a card without spending cap wink.gif

i guess i will apply and then charge only my petrol and groceries to the card. this alone exceeds 1k easily and then the rebate is maxed out.

I faxed in the Titanium card application Wednesday last week after 5pm, checked yesterday it was sent out on Wednesday this week (exactly 5 working days to process as informed by OCBC CS) but yet to received it today as Selangor holiday.

Satisfied with the CL assigned to my account, but then again comes next year the CL is not much of use since rebate capped at RM50 a month only and therefore CL of RM2K more than enough. Going to take advantage of the interest free period until end of year tho.

I did also check with OCBC CS and was informed that there is no cap of RM30 a month for petrol.


QUOTE(PJusa @ Aug 26 2010, 07:58 PM)
searched high and low on the website and didnt find that information. 50 bucks and no bonuspoints is not worth it for me. might be usefull as secodary card if i used the 5k with alliance bank already though.
*
you are right that this card is not worth it if spend more than RM1-2K since the monhtly rebate is capped at RM50 and no incentive to use it once we reached the capped amount. Having said that, this card is excellent for petrol and groceries for up to RM1K and to me most importantly it comes with auto waiver for annual fees and GST which saves me time asking for waiver.

To me having both OCBC and Alliance is a good combination if one spends RM5K - RM6K a month. With this two cards, the max cash rebate comes out to be about RM1316. For those spending more than RM6K a month, having these two cards still give max benefit, just that got to keep track when to use the 3rd card (if got merchant discount/offer, better to use other cards than getting 1.5-5% cash rebate).

QUOTE(PJusa @ Aug 27 2010, 09:49 AM)
i guess i will apply and then charge only my petrol and groceries to the card. this alone exceeds 1k easily and then the rebate is maxed out.

that's my plan also for OCBC Titanium, purely for petrol next year onwards.

Now with OCBC Titanium, I will get 6.5% cash back from petrol since I use Esso which gives me 1.5% cash back when redeeming smiles points for petrol rclxm9.gif

My own strategy is to max it with all the 5% stuff especially DINING as that is a segment not being covered by other cards. Example would be internet bills (utility), power, water. I don't mind living with 2.5% for petrol and mobile phone bills if my expenditure for the other parts can hit RM1k a month.

wah, you do eat a lot tongue.gif but you are right that OCBC is the only card that gives 5% cash rebate for dining. However the places I frequent for dining have discount or offers which is more than 5% for other cards except for TGIF.

As for mobile phone bills, I'm too lazy to go change.

1K very easy if you offer to pay for colleagues hehehehe. Anyway i think with petrol + dining + grocery + utilities, i think can hit RM1k. the rest can use Alliance.

recently i applied for HSBC CC through online application. They did send me an email initially, mentioning that my application was rejected, but within the next 24 hours I got another email stating that my application had been conditionally approved. Is this normal?

Don't think Platinum highest is 30k so low. According to the chart below, silver card can already reach 30k.

1 thing to note that after Dec 2010, max credit limit one should have for the card is rm5k. (before easy payment, balance transfer etc.).

Easy payment better use another card cause no points and no cashback.

Satisfied with the CL assigned to my account, but then again comes next year the CL is not much of use since rebate capped at RM50 a month only and therefore CL of RM2K more than enough. Going to take advantage of the interest free period until end of year tho.

I once lowered my CL to just RM5K on my Platinum card. CS told me (if I remember it correctly) the lowest possible is RM3K. (or was it RM1K?)
A couple of months later (just prior to card anniversary),the bank raise the CL to RM8K. It's rather funny coz the initial CL was RM30K.

If the cash rebate is max out, the extra swiping can contribute to getting GST waiver perhaps.

SCB JustOne Titanium MC (no longer being issued) is better as cash rebates for both principle and supplementary cards are separated. Besides, principle cardholder can have up to 6 supplementary cards and each card can enjoy RM600 cash back per annum.

What is the credit limit of your Citi Platinum ? HSBC VISA Platinum comes with at least RM30,000 of credit limit. May be you can use your more than 1-year old Citi Platinum to request for the upgrade ?

Reread the sentence again, 20 days from statement date. That means as long as there is no carry forward balance, interest will not be charged if statement balance is paid in full 20 days from statement date. Transactions after statement date reflects on the next period.

Yes the waivers are separate.
10k is kinda difficult to achieve.
Will apply for 1 main + 1 supp, instead of 2 main.
Application of main card and supp card cannot be done at the same time, according to the card agent. Supp card can be requested upon approval of main card.

I got the propose for Mxxbank credit card through phone on march 2010 and get know that I only need to paid my credit card government tax at the end of the 1st year of using the card.

But it do start charging me the RM50 as government tax for the 1st month i activate the card at may 2010. So i decided make a complaint to Mxxbank on the number 1300886688 and finally the supervisor talk to the sales and call me back mention the mistake been done on the credit card sales and agree to deduct back the RM50 on top of these.

End-up I wait until today the deduction is never been done, so I do call to Mxxbank and ask complaint again on today 27 August 2010. Same story has been told to the customer service and end up the customer service cant solve my issue at all and just mention to me that the terms and condition of Mxxbank that having the right to change the policy of the credit card. I do ask her again are you sure that this means Mxxbank can charge any annual fee or maintenance fee annually of 100 , 200 as they like with this term and condition. So she say yes and I DECIDED TO CANCEL THIS CARD DUE TO THE SERVICES AND SECURE IS TOTALLY NOT THERE, AND THEY CLAIM THIS AS THE BANK THAT PROVIDE FINANCIAL SECURITY TO THE PUBLIC. mad.gif mad.gif

The outcome that i see from here is Mxxbank credit card sales is totally unprofessional BUT Mxxbank management do know these and never take any action about these. PLEASE DO IMPROVEMENT ON YOUR MANAGEMENT AS YOUR COMPANY IS A LARGEST BANK IN MALAYSIA BUT SERVICE IS TOTALLY LOWEST GRADED in MALAYSIA.

Your Company REPUTATION is your image, you NEVER CARE on it is just like YOU WEAR NOTHING WALK ON THE STREET and same to YOUR EMPLOYEE NEVER CARE YOUR COMPANY IMAGE.

WISH all other Mxxbank card holder continue Enjoy the "GOOD BENEFIT" FROM THIS BANK.

2010 onwards, any new principal credit card issuance will immediately be charged RM50 government tax. There is no way to waive this, although some banks credit some money back to your account if there is such promotion to offset the amount. Maybe you were mis-informed by the cc pushers?

Banks reserve the right to change their terms & conditions at any time.

Service charge is imposed upon activation for new cards, not after a year. There's no need to repost this rant over and over again.

As a consumer, you do have a choice to vote with your money. If you're not satisfied, just go get another card from another provider. Nobody forced you to get a card or sign on the agreement if you dont agree with the Terms and Condition.

I personally cancelled 2 cards with Maybank already.

Been doing some research, it seems you just need to earn more than 4k monthly salary to qualify for a Citibank Cash Back Plat Card. Can anyone verify this?

Which other bank offers the lowest requirement for their Platinum card? And is it possible to switch from card to another even when you don't meet the requirement? For example your salary is 5k, the min for Citi Plat is 4k where as HSBC is 10k, after using it for a year you switch to hsbc, will hsbc approve it?

Yes. That is true as the minimum per annum salary required is RM48,000.

Standard Chartered Bank.

You need to earn at least RM12,500/month to qualify for the HSBC VISA Platinum, not RM10,000/month. Anyway, if you intend to use an existing Platinum credit card that is more than 1 year old. The card must comes with a minimum credit limit of RM30,000. Even if you meet their VISA Platinum requirements, there is still no guarantee that you will get it as everyone knows it is hard to get a HSBC credit card.

dausan2003,

As we have mentioned over and over again here, one could not trust 100% what cc sales personnel promise, unless it is an official statement from the bank.

You should be aware that service tax is immediately charged upon card approval and activation. Further, as far as I know, MBB has never granted any free points for cardholders to offset the service tax.

I never trust all promises from cc sales personal and even CS officers. I always refer to the T&Cs and official statements from the respective bank.

Wonder if anyone checks with OCBC self service that my Titanium application was unsuccessfully but following the announcement, there was second announcement for the same application with pending status.

Checked with OS and they said if there is any change of the application, they will make update and canceled the application and resubmit again. That is why I heard two results.

Therefore, it is still under process...

Anyone here can shed some light on Citibank's Customer Credit Limit? It seems that in this month of August Citibank has come up with something new called Customer Credit Limit.

Shouldn't banks be more prudent rather than just keep on increasing the credit limit every chance they get. Doesn't this place them at greater risk if the customer defaults on settling the credit card debt?

So called OCBC and the CS confirmed again card sent out on 25th but vis normal post shakehead.gif OCBC damn kedekut lah, somemore normal post not reliable. Not only that, card activated automatically, gave me a heart attack. Asked them to block the card until I get the card and call them back.

Well not sure about hard to get a HSBC Visa Plat credit card or need RM12.5K/month salary. Got mine HSBC Visa Plat at MidVallley in 2007 because an agent ask me for "help" while was shopping there. All I did was gave him my name card, filled in annual salary > RM100K without any proof and signed on the dotted lines. No calls or whatever from HSBC to verify I applied for the card and they gave me CL more than RM30K, maybe it is because I have a few cards where CL > RM30K. I don't even have a HSBC account.

On the other hand, my dad who has more than twice my annual income than me also have HSBC Credit Card but his CL is less than mine hmm.gif

MBB very stingy with CL. Once I applied for Petronas Gold CC, also because agent asked for help, they only gave me RM20K CL, but this time on the form I filled my salary >RM50K as did not really bother about CL as using it for petrol only. Then when got my AMEX Gold CC also they gave me same CL as it is shared, called AMEX up within few days after I got my card last year and requested it to be increased (asked them go check my AMEX charged card history) and they did it within a week to the amount I asked for.

well my Citibank Clear Card has reached the max CL so guess can't be raised anymore. I read somewhere that Citibank actually let you charged more than your CL but then there is some fees involved.

Most probably it was your other credit cards that help you to get the HSBC credit card then because it's either you give them your salary slip with a monthly salary of no less than RM12,000 or just give them your IC number so that they can check your CCRIS record. It has got to be your credit cards that with > RM30k credit limit that did the trick.

No one can really understand how they determine just how much credit limit they want to grant you. I overheard someone complained to the customer service officer inside the Premier Centre that their credit card HQ rejected his request for higher credit line for his MasterCard despite having RM500k of FD with them.

Not necessarily so. Higher and higher CL's places one at risk of increasing liability in the event of CC fraud. I know in theory we are only liable for RM250 or something like that but then again theory is not the same as real life. tongue.gif

Have you read the activation method in the letter? i believe the instruction is quite clear. sms is not economical coz u still need to pay 30sen. activation via email is FOC anyway. Again, read the letter for instruction.

Apart from KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge, you may include other major airport lounges in Malaysia such as Plaza Premium Lounge in LCCT and JB. Most of the Platinum cards issued in Malaysia can only grant free access to KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge only, not the lounges in LCCT and JB.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I've tried to calculate it but I can't get the same amount as the bank. Could anybody guide me how banks calculate their interest charges? Attached is a shot of my friend statement. Note that the first amount is RM12233.39 which is the previous month balance. Below it is the late payment charge and then its the interest charge. Total up is RM12458.76. I would like to know how the RM186.67 is calculated. Sorry for the grainy picture because my friend faxed his statement to me. Thank you. notworthy.gif

On the topic of Airport Lounge access, I think we should be clear on the following:

Citi Premiermiles gives access to Plaza Premier lounge at KLIA 12 times a year PLUS the Priority Pass with 2 free admissions worldwide (subsequent need to pay). PP is for principal ONLY.

SCB VI gives Priority Pass membership with unlimited free admissions for principal ONLY.

For HSBC Premier, refer to the following site: http://www.privileges.hsbcpremier.com/1/2/...ort-lounge-info

Yes. That is true as the minimum per annum salary required is RM48,000.
Standard Chartered Bank.
You need to earn at least RM12,500/month to qualify for the HSBC VISA Platinum, not RM10,000/month. Anyway, if you intend to use an existing Platinum credit card that is more than 1 year old. The card must comes with a minimum credit limit of RM30,000. Even if you meet their VISA Platinum requirements, there is still no guarantee that you will get it as everyone knows it is hard to get a HSBC credit card.

Thanks for the info!

I see so its the credit limit that helps you when you switch cards.

I guess I'll apply for SCB plat and see what happens. 188 cash back looks good.

I could be wrong, but could it be that AMEX is a charge card and not a credit card? So they take it that you do not have any existing limit therefore they treat it as a new credit application?

Credit card is a business. If you are a high spender, any banks will be more than willing to pay your govt tax & annual fees. Otherwise, it would be limited to selected banks such as Bank Rakyat etc tongue.gif

They will be able to see how many active credit cards you have, the credit limit of each of the active credit cards, any mortgage or hire purchase and any missed payments in the past 12 months etc.

Is the AMEX CC less than a year old?

Just reached 1 year now... not sure if this is the reason.
But they only tell me submit CC copy but not Amex...

QUOTE(underpressure @ Sep 2 2010, 12:26 AM)
I could be wrong, but could it be that AMEX is a charge card and not a credit card? So they take it that you do not have any existing limit therefore they treat it as a new credit application?

Mine is Amex Gold CC. Not sure if they treat all Amex as charge card...

QUOTE(ronnie @ Sep 2 2010, 10:16 AM)
It seem that OCBC cannot check the Credit Limit of existing AMEX CC...

I hope this is not true... cause my Amex Gold CC is the only way I can apply for OCBC Titanium... else I'm out of luck sad.gif

I sent my application on 20/8 and it has just been approved on 1/9 when I checked the status via OCBC self service hotline.

If your documents are complete and you are qualified for the card, the bank will not call you for verification. For instance, OCBC did not call me and my application is successful.

Really? No wonder mine isn't in yet. In a way, the bank is smart, people can't apply, swipe, get the cashback, then cancel the card immediately.

So SCB is better, straightaway credit the cash back to the customer's account.

Anyone got the info UOB going to launch Preferred World Mastercard and Visa Signature soon in Malaysia?
HSBC Visa Platinum only need RM100K annual income to apply, looks like they are going to launch new premium credit card too.

I kind of doubt HSBC will launch a new premium credit card in Malaysia anytime soon. If they were to launch it, i'd expect Hong Kong to get it first but there is still no sign that they are going to introduce any new premium credit cards there. Many other banks in Hong Kong such as Bank of East Asia, Wing Lung Bank and even Standard Chartered offer credit cards that ranked higher than Platinum credit card for quite some time already. Heck, even its own subsidiary Hang Seng Bank offers VISA Infinite but it doesn't.

And regarding the UOB Bank World MasterCard and VISA Signature. It's good to see them offering more types of credit card but they really need to review their UniRinggit program. It sucks big time. Points required are the highest in the industry.

You may only apply for a supplementary card when the principal card is approved.
