QUOTE(winner @ Oct 17 2010, 07:08 PM) The problem is that you received the card 3 months ago. When the bank officer called you to verify, you did not reject the card on the spot. The bank might think you had accepted the card so that they activated the card for you. I guess you would forever keep queit and keep the card if you did not see the RM50 service tax in your statement. Treat this as a lesson. Your ignorance gave you trouble. What you need to do is to inform the bank to cancel the card immediately. You still have a chance not to pay the service tax which has been charged. What if he complain to BNM, will they entertain it? Just curious.

The problem is that he replied over the phone receiving the card and did not indicate rejection to CS over the card. CS call might be recorded and that's the bank's proof. If you don't want the card ... should have indicated rejection upfront and not after receiving statement and displaying shock over RM50 GCT. (Government card tax)

Guys, I did a grocery shopping at Billion a few days ago, after that I checked on OCBC Online and found that transaction's description was "Billion Shopping Centre", which is not in the 5% rebate category.
The lesson is, even though the transaction is made at Supermarket, the card terminal may be under MCC code of Shopping Centre or complex. Of course, I think not every Billion is categorized as Shopping Centre, because some are purely supermarkets indeed.
Just remind you all.

Billion is just like Jusco. It is a supermarket or departmental store. To be safe, you would better to shop at bigger hypermarket chain like Giant and Tesco in order to get the 5% rebate guarantee.

The biggest supermarket here is Econsave But Econsave requires at least RM80 only can swipe.

I tested with small amount at Jusco and the statement categorized it under 1% rebate.

I was in Pavilion KL today to do some shopping and I saw at least ten people paying for their purchases with either CIMB Visa Infinite or World Mastercard. Somehow, it's like a common sight that doesn't make both cards look exclusive anymore! Soon black will be the new platinum just like how platinum is the new gold! Mind you that also means having a minimum CL of 100k is so common these days!

Those you see in Pavilion is common as Pavilion/KLCC caters for the high-class shoppers ;-) .... if we see lots those VI or WMC at lower-class than Pavilion/KLCC shopping area, then it's easy to get VI/WMC. rockefeller: Are you checking them out ;-)
