QUOTE(winner @ Oct 14 2010, 06:58 PM) I am very surprised to learn that your spending at Carrefour Tropicana City was only entitled to 1% cash back. You should make a complaint to OCBC. They might have calculated the rebate wrongly. IMHO, OCBC should not be liable for the inappropriate MCC code assigned to Carrefour. This has been mentioned in the T&C. I don't think OCBC will entertain this kind of complaints.

QUOTE(winner @ Oct 14 2010, 08:14 PM) Carefour has nothing to do with Aeon. Carefour is a hypermarket chain, while Jusco is just a supermarket and departmental store and was never considered as a hypermarket. Oh previously heard that AEON is going to buy over C4.  Nvm, it's not important. Well, I'm just wondering why different C4 has different MCC, just...weird. Added on October 14, 2010, 9:03 pmQUOTE(alexwsk @ Oct 14 2010, 08:20 PM) that's the problem, ppl don't bother to read the tnc sent together with their cards else they shud be able to keep track of it and avoid being charged Maybe they are too excited to use the card. Looking at tnc will make them yawning This post has been edited by ck3lam: Oct 14 2010, 09:04 PM

Those so called victims should make a report to Carefour and OCBC on this. No harm to have a try.

@ rockefeller Huh ? HSBC with CL 30k above can be used as reference to apply for CIMB VI / WMC for 100k CL ? Hm... perhaps its rare cases ? i dont think this apply to everyone  , AFAIK using card reference without submitting any proof of income usually will have CL increment by 5% - 20% from the card, mostly considered by credit exposure of the applicants. from 30k jump to 100k , there is quite a big gap....

Yes this applies generally. Three of my friends got their CIMB VI/WMC by submitting HSBC Platinum CL 30k. If you're in the banking industry, it is general knowledge that CIMB is desperate to increase its credit card database thus granting high credit limit to many people even without having substantial deposit / facility with them. They are still far behind Maybank in terms of card membership. This post has been edited by rockefeller: Oct 14 2010, 10:38 PM

QUOTE(hye @ Oct 14 2010, 06:36 PM) Hello .... the question is that are you looking for a cc provider who give you lousy service but all freebies or likewise? Seems you are looking for everything to be free from all the questions you posted. e.g. CIMB got many attractive offers and merchant discounts / OCBC you get rebates which are far worth more than the GST paid. Too bad you are probably won't consider them coz they don't pay for you the GST. GST somebody has to pay ... please get that right. It is not waiverable in the first place. haha.. actually I want OCBC Titanium but my annual income not yet reached that level... Actually the GST not a big issue, just wan to know which bank more generous... hahaha.. 1 thing i don't like CIMB DA is the bonus point only carry for 3 years FROM THE CARD ISSUANCE DATE!! That's meant watever i spent on the "2nd year and 11 month", the bonus point will be forfeited without any time for me to redeem it... haihh... but i cant see any others better credit card choice for me..

@celaw
Whatever reply you received from CIMB CS, I second bro MilesAndMore reply on CIMB points expiry. There are times CS may provide a mistake in their info and this is one of them. There are many CIMB cc user veterans in here. Some even used the card before it is called CIMB. (It was Southern Bank before)

QUOTE(chemistry @ Oct 13 2010, 10:50 PM) I would advise you to quickly call 1300885000 to inquire what's going on. My sister also missed one private call last week. She has been complaining on the PENDING status, until today she called back to Call Centre and was told that the previous call was to verify some details in the application form. After the conversation and verification, the Officer told that application status will be known in 2 days' time. I have called CS yesterday. they said the status is pending and they could not check whether the high authority need more docs or need verification. since it is already 4 weeks +, maybe no hope for this card

QUOTE(lara_ @ Oct 14 2010, 09:30 AM) As requested in v11 thread, this is the list of my spending on OCBC Titanium card from 9/28-10/11. The spending listed is "round down" and "sum".479.00 Klinik + Insurance 253.00 Carrefour Tropicana 119.00 Giant Kelana Jaya 45.00 Petrol BHP 58.00 Pizza Hut 42.00 Secret Recipe 113.00 TMOnline 100.00 TNB @ Kedai Tenaga 100.00 TNB @ OCBC 5% rebate 28.95 1% rabate 7.32 The first transaction is obviously 1%. The others is obviously 5%. Somehow, I get 1% for some of my spending. To be accurate, RM253 total spending goes to 1%. My first guessing is Carrefour which 253 sharp. Hope the expert here can help. P/S: Remove as not relevant anymore. Lara, I believe the rebate is calculated based on nearest ringgit of TOTAL SPENDING for each category (1% rebate and 5% rebate) and not rounded down for each transaction. That's why you will be seeing 10cent difference from your calculation. QUOTE 5. The OCBC Titanium Cash Rebate Programme is calculated based on the Total Retail Spend for the month and is non-cumulative from previous month.
