I'm the latest member of the Club of the Rejected -just found out my application for OCBC's Titanium card has failed  doh.gif

As some forumers have mentioned, no reason was given as the credit evaluation method is "secret".

I'm quite shocked as I am lowly geared and my home loan payment record is spotless.

The reasons could be:
- I currently don't have a credit card (some banks might consider this a danger sign)
- the amount of $ in the bank statement I faxed to OCBC is quite minimum (as most of it is in FD)
- my salary is not too impressive

I wonder if OCBC will reconsider if I show them my other bank statements containing substantial sums of $. Forumers, what do you think? Like I mentioned previously, I am inexperienced when it comes to credit cards.

Reasons given by you: -
1) depending on the credit policy of a card issuer. BUT in details....if you are >40 years no history of loans or cresit cards in CCRIS...spells something fishy for the credit officer.
2) as long as you meet the minimum income requirement for a credit card type, no issue on the amount you have in ur bank statement.
3) not an issue, depending on your income requriement. ie. min 24 K

All in all 2 major areas that a credit officer from a card centre look at: -
1) CCRIS profile. contains all your banking information (monthly commitments) etc etc.
2) Capability to pay! you earn 2K, you have monthly fixed commitments, other CCs, Housing loan exceeding ie. RM1.5K per month, very good chances of being rejected.

Is it possible to specifically ask for a lower CL when applying for a cc?

if ur card issuer system and credit/internal policy is flexible.....YES.

Correct. But not for me though. None of my local or overseas trips are company trips.
Not DA but CIMB. But since DA is under CIMB Group too, they probably are the same. Anyway, found this out about two years ago. Was using a supplementary CIMB Gold MasterCard then while my friend was using SCB Platinum MasterCard.

Please check issuers fee & charges or it should be printed on your statement of accounts. As far as i know BNM CC guidelines does not allow admin fee for overseas transactions to be charged without the bank notifying consumers.

Same here. I think only iPod shuffle. I thought there is only one winner on both occasion, meaning, you win in July and August, but can entitled for one only. I'm also getting confirmation like 45 minutes later although the server should received by 9.00am sharp because I got the delivery status once I sent

I've sent multiple copies since 8.59am. Still cannot get. Anyway, I think the winners list are fake, at least look quite fake to me

Think the process is not transparent enough

Usual card issuers' processes in selecting winners: -
1) End of contest.
2) Based upon T&Cs, a pool of possbile winners selected
3) Check card history; ie. payment records; Check other T&Cs (ie. winner must not be family members etc etc etc
4) Final selection; winners are selected in the presence of Bank's Internal Auditor.

Moral of the story..............If you are lucky, you will get it. If you are not, too bad biggrin.gif
