Some of my findings but I'm not sure whether you will state for a particular card of a bank or not. Just see which one applies. Italic sentence with brackets are just my comments.

1. Annual fee
OCBC (**minimum swipes apply)

2. Tap and Go - no signature required
CIMB Touch 'n Go Visa (This one a bit different as it is the first credit card with Touch and Go)

3. Credit Card linked to Petrol Giants
Citibank <> SHELL (This only applicable for Citibank Shell, Citibank Cashback Plat applies to all petrol stations)

9. Cash Advance fees
HLB Essential: 2% of the amount advanced or a minimum of RM5, whichever is higher. This is imposed for each cash advance transaction. Minimum withdrawal for each cash advance is RM200.

12. RM50 Government Service Tax
With effect from 1 January 2010, there will be service tax imposed on credit card as follows :
i. RM50 per annum on each Principal Card; and
ii. RM25 per annum on each Supplementary Card
The service tax will be collected on the date the card is issued, on the completion of each year or on the date of renewal of the card.
This means that the above mentioned service tax shall be levied on new credit card issued effective from 1 January 2010. For existing credit cards issued before 1 January 2010, the service tax shall be levied upon anniversary of card issuance.


(Although Budget 2011 will be announced soon, but the current GST charges is still applicable and a lot people is asking the same question. Furthermore, the thumbnail image link is broken)

Paiseh.. OCBC is the lowest among bank industry.

The cash advance fee is 5% of the amount advanced or a minimum of RM15, whichever is higher. This is imposed for each cash advance/casino chips transaction.

Finance charge on cash advance or casino cash chip is calculated from date of transaction until full payment.
*
HLB Essential card has the lowest cash advance fee.


QUOTE(lara_ @ Oct 14 2010, 11:09 AM)
Nope. The figure I gave is "round down each transaction" and then "sum by shop".
Klinik + Insurance is sum after applied the formula above.
*
Is your rounding correct?

Btw, there is one guy saying he get 5% from C4 Tropicana. Mm...

As an EON cardholder, didn’t you know EON will rebate RM50 for total spending above RM5k and Annual fees will be waived if minimum swipes are met?

2nd is I aware about the minimum swipe.
Are you trying to pointing something to me ?  rolleyes.gif
Yup,their bonus point will expired as I know,please correct me if my info are misleading ... so I rarely use CIMB bank,just for emergency tongue.gif
*
Just I thought you should have knew it after using the card for a year, there is also such information appears on the statement.
To be exact, even if you didn’t spend up to 5k, the bank will still rebate to you 1% of total spending. Just the maximum is RM50 rebate capped per year.

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.

Just like Jusco. Maybe related to AEON?

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. blush.gif Nvm, it's not important.

Well, I'm just wondering why different C4 has different MCC, just...weird.

Maybe they are too excited to use the card. Looking at tnc will make them yawning yawn.gif

Ya, maybe can ask them what MCC for C4 Tropicana is.

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.
*
That's why I ask him whether his rounding is correct or not. And roy918, you are right.

Jusco is definitely only entitled for 1% rebate (even in supermarkets) after verified by some forumers at different outlets. 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!
*
CIMB Enrich World Mastercard will be more exclusive then since it is by invitation and card usage above RM 500k per annum. drool.gif

Maybe one day classic card becomes exclusive as few people are holding it. tongue.gif

i spend 400 in 100blocks on the first weekend of their promotion in sept, no rebate shown in my oct statement but t&c says 6 weeks after tracking month, so we'll see
*
I believe you will get it easily. I have been receiving the 20% cashback since May. They changed the T&C since Sept.


Btw, I just receive letter from SCB saying they will going to have 5% cashback for any purchase for the coming November but maximum capped at RM50.
Well, of course if compare with Ambank, PB, HSBC or even OCBC are not that much for maximum cash rebate, but SCB likes to provide guaranteed stuff, like gift or cashback this time.
So basically if you spend 1k on ANY purchase, you will get guaranteed RM50. Not bad afterall.

To be fair, i suggest that they listed the time of the winners sent in their sms... hmm.gif

You will see all the time is 9:00am then and unlikely they will show the seconds. So no point displaying the time. But I think you will get at least 10k UNIRinggit if you send another SMS code, right?

apparently citibank is giving out free smart tag to those sucessful applicants

however, i cant find this information online

anyone heard of this?

Since nowadays a lot of cards are given 5% on any petrol station(even their cashback plat), this co-brand card is really going need to relaunch its benefits (somemore got tier to get 5%).

How does the banks earn from these 0% BT (6/12 mths) + RM0 processing fee ?
*
Need to check their T&C first. Normally when a cardholder holds a card, that's a good chance that he may use that card also for other normal transactions. Unless you burried it somewhere until you finish paying the debt.

I wonder there's any processing fee...
Do we get Treatpoints on the amount transferred when we BT to MBB ?
*
I don't think you will get TP, any BT will not get points.

It didn't state whether there is any processing fees in their website (need to call CS) but I remember last time MBB got such fees on any BT or installment. Anyway, there might be some hidden T&C.

2. Did u rec the free smart tag?  I received a sms saying its free to the sucessful applications for the Citibank Cash Back VISA Platinum credit card, although such information is not posted on net yet.

I thought only applicable for Shell card?

QUOTE(hye @ Oct 26 2010, 06:19 PM)
3. Rebate @ Watson and Guardian ?  Yes ... because @ the payment terminal ... it will use the same MCC code. You'll get the rebate either way ... I have bought vitamins, toothbrush, etc and get the rebate. Unless of course they have change the T&C. No harm actually ... it's either rebate or no rebate. Either way ... you would have need to pay for the items in full so I think there's no loss. The rebate is just a bonus.
*
I doubt they categorized under MCC because other pharmacies are not applicable. Maybe MCC first, then filter Guardian and Watson.

QUOTE(SeanChang @ Oct 26 2010, 06:47 PM)
Take note that the cash back will be only credited accumulation of RM50 but on the bottom of statement will show previous/current earn/total cash back
*

Citi like to have this kind of rebate accumulation system. So it's a bit difficult if you want to cancel the card if that month doesn't reach RM50. Their strategic I guess.

Thanks. I signed up for auto-debit through TM Point actually. The bill for October came out last week but i have not been billed yet. No sign of the RM2 rebate from TM either for signing up for auto-debit. I now wondered if TM has processed my auto-debit request ... kind of weird that the October bill has not been charged to my credit card yet.
*
When do you sign up the auto debit? Some TM staff said it will take a month.

Mm...any other SCB cardholder receive this 5% cashback on everything letter?

For the month of Nov, you can enjoy existing discount at some dining area + additional 5% rebate. Take Kenny Rogers for example, you get 15% + 5%, which is actually 19.25% discount.

Anything on OCBC Ti 1% purchase can transfer to SCB next month.

TNB somemore 2 months as they claimed. But if through the bank auto debit service is much faster.

Just came back from TM Point. Was told that when we sign up for auto-debit payment for any of your TM bills, it will only start debiting your account from the 3rd month while the cancellation will take 2-month to process.

Anyway, called Citibank and signed up for One Bill payment for my TM Streamyx. Was informed that it will take approximately 2-month before the first amount will be charged to my account.
*
3rd month...great~
Just right after 1 month I subscribe, I received EON bank letter informing me about TM autopay via OCBC card. Looks like OCBC outsource all the autopay to other bank.

SCB promotion. But as I see the T&C for the cashback eligibility, there are some points to note:
- Your acc must be in good standing (as usual)
- Any retail transaction from 1-Nov to 30-Nov (posted by the merchant and received by SCB)
- Max capped at RM50 (Principle and Sup share the same)
- Cashback credited by 30-Dec
- Valid for the addressee of this letter only (So maybe it’s not a general promotion, but we will see whether SCB will advertise it at the end of this month or not in their website.)
