What a lousy Budget. No waiver of RM50 GST.

How does one decide if he/she needs another credit card or not?
I have a SCB JustOne.
Going to cancel my HSBC Gold.
The OCBC titanium looks good. I don't know if I'll benefit from the card or not considering I already have SCB JustOne.

Although SCB JustOne Titanium is a great card, the cash back per annum is capped at RM600. It would be better to get another card such as OCBC Titanium as a back up, in the event that the cashiers fail to swipe your SCB JustOne Titanium. We had experienced some problems when teaching the cashiers to select "credit" function to perform a transaction.

As for my case, my SCB JustOne Titanium had already hit the annual cash back limit last month. Therefore, I need other cards like OCBC Titanium (mainly for dining, grocery, utilities and petrol expenses) and SCB World MC (x2 choice points and discounted points requirement for redemption) to perform my transactions.

Good point. I had thought of this too. But in my case, I didn't max out my SCB JustOne rebates last year. I spend very little. Maybe I don't need OCBC Titanium after all. Don't need to incur another RM50 service tax.

I agreed and it's dangerous to have such a high limit. tongue.gif

Is it possible to request the bank to reduce the credit limit? What implications will this have? Any adverse impact on Credit Score?

What free gift are you referring to? Is it a free Apple iPhone offer?

I don't know what's the free gift. Just trying my luck. Usually these roadshows will have free gifts to encourage people to sign up right?

To be truth im not qualified. My salary is around RM2000 per month. Im not even submit my payslip since i dont have  one. I applied the card by opening FD account and deposit a sum of RM5000. And i dont even have CCRIS record too.

Congrats. Now that you have your first CC, you can build your credit history with CCRIS. Take good care of your credit history. Be punctual with your repayment. When you've got a good credit history, in the future easier to apply for mortgage.

IBG ? You mean Interbank GIRO ? Actually, you still need the HSBC Security Device for IBG. As for acccount transaction history, no. You don't need the HSBC Security Device.
If i'm not mistaken, only corporate customers have to pay. People like us don't  smile.gif

By the way, the HSBC Security Device has a battery life of approximately 5 years. We are supposed to pay RM50 to get a HSBC Security Device replacement. Have not done this before. Therefore, i am not sure if it is waivable.

5 years? Then I'm going to close my account during year 4, then reopen a new account after that and get a new security device smile.gif
Like this don't need to pay RM50.

It's happening in US.
If there's financial crisis in Asia, maybe the banks here will also cut credit limits.


Added on November 10, 2010, 11:53 pmAnybody here managed to get the service tax waived when applying OCBC Titanium?
