Yeah it was at 1Utama. No such encounters at Tropicana so far, most probably because I seldom watch movies there.
I'm guessing it is even worse in Midvalley...

Typical HSBC credit card promotion. Extremely hard to get it 

I didn't submit any documents to back up my application. I only send a simple letter to appeal the application. But i do wrote down i my letter that i'm interested with their card just bcos it's the best all rounder CC atm. i think maybe thats help me

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

however, i cant find this information online

anyone heard of this?

well.. it depends, when u pay with a higher prestige cc while paying, u will be more sort of "confident". (imagine all people at the queue take out VI/Plat while someone take out a piece of norm cc, in case u in the high class places) This kind of self-boasting, although not really good, but sometimes are just useful.

Although i agree with u that in reality benefits are more realistic, even u only have cash back silver card..

No cash that's why need plastic cards loh  I was having dinner with a rich man recently and found out that he don't even have a credit card, he pays with cash or cheque.

As far as I am concerned, people who have status are those with AMEX Plat Charged Card where they wiiling to fork up for the annual fees. Where is Dozz? That is one guy we know that is loaded.

As for Plat cards, there are so many in the market and not all the same. The better ones offer Protection Plan for purchases and good travel insurance coverage.

Alliance Plat card is pretty good where you get 1) cash rebate & reward points 2) Protection Plan 3) Accss to KLIA lounge 4) Free auto annual fees (with conditions) 5) Timeless reward points and 6) 2X reward points for overeseas.

For purchasing airline tickets, Citibank Visa Plat and HLB Plat insurance coverage are pretty good. HLB covers spouse and children up to RM1.7m and free RM300K PA.

The point is, you get a card for its benefits, that's why a lot of people here with want OCBC Titanum which is a lower "class" compared to Platinum

i should do it like u.
now already paid the Rm50 GST 

i've done it b4 thru pb online

nope, no such option currently

From my OCBC Titanium statement, following earned 5% cash back:

i am staying in kajang 

yes. same bank, approved within 1 day for citibank. CC is the core business for citibank, dont know why

The bank did provide several solutions to me.
Either spend RM2k in 2 months' time OR subscribe to one Autopay service will do. At that time it was impossible for me to fulfill either one condition.

Talking about cancellation of Shell card recently, the bank did not even advise/persuade me, straight away proceed   OK lor, cancel then cancel lor

including RHB too, not sure about all branch but my nearest branch is still using envelope when i remit EPF payment on behalf of my uncle. Plus, I found out that my area of easy rhb branch don't accept cheque    because they don't install the cheque machine yet.

i have to say PBB cs is difficult to reach
alternatively, leave your phone number there and have them call u back, else try to call early morning, b4 9am

btw, i applied OCBC Titanium TWICE NOT APPROVED!

1st time applied using >3 years DA Plat. got letter unsuccessful without any reason.
so i apply for 2nd time (next week after that) with all supporting documents (pretend as i dont have cc yet).
both applied at OCBC Kajang branch.

dont tell me since using Plat then cant use the Titanium?
but if not mistaken, i did noticed some people here using Plat also can get the OCBC Ti?

my record are clean. NEVER had debt. cc all paid full/more.
i dont have any loan (house/car all paid cash) - this also suprised the OCBC officer who took my application, since at the form i thick residental status - own, then she ask house loan from which bank, i said no loan. car loan? no car loan also.

really need that 5% rebate for petrol+bill+groceries     

my mom told me, maybe, the bank think i'm able to pay, then no need la give me 5% rebate

my current citibank gold also is not free
have to call every year to waive
citibank will never gipe free for life cars unlike some otherbanks
now i am not sure about the  current platinum...dunno whether they will waive the fees every yr by request

wa.. so nice.. i wan switch to Citibank liao~ i spent RM20k++ last month no voucher =(
