Well, its good & worthwhile if you can maintain a minimum balance of RM5k if at all you decide to open this account...

Currently I do not get attraction on its interest because AffinPlus offers 2.8% for balance > RM20k. The highest in the town.

I am in consideration just on the airasia promotion and privilege on booking tickets. Wonder if it is true. Seem others commented that the promotion fare is same as usual.

As mentioned, if you intend to maintain a figure of RM5k++ then its worthwhile to go for it....otherwise, you can opt for other options.

Hi, I am 19 year old student who just opened my cimb savings account (for ptptn purpose)
The whole process was completed in half and hour, including activation of cimbclicks, the lady did not explain to me about the types of accounts they provide though, so i assume that i've just opened a regular saving account, or maybe a youth saver account because i do see the "youth service" option at the left options panel. As soon as i logged in i noticed that there's actually a CIMB AirAsia account which pays much higher interest rate (regular one pays 0.4%)

My plan is to maintain the ptptn fund in the account to yield interest over my period of study. Hence, is it possible for me to switch my account type? I also see the Account Opening option under "manage my account" , does it mean that i could just open another new account via online and transfer my deposits from the existing one to the new one? Would i get a new atm card for it? Please advice.

You do not need to close your existing savings account at CIMB Bank. You can just open another account (Air Asia Savers Account) and this can be done online. You will be prompted to choose your preferred branch and i suggest that you choose the same branch or any other branch that's near to where you're staying. If your existing savings account is not a basic savings account, then you can just tag this new account to your existing ATM card. This way you only need to pay RM8 annual fee for the ATM card once. Anyway, i'm pretty sure yours not a basic savings account because banks such as CIMB Bank doesn't usually open the basic savings account for their customers unless specifically requested so.

i can't find the airasia promo in the cimbclicks. where do i need to find it.. hermmmm

sorry for wrong info, i actually found it in cimb mainpage.

Added on August 12, 2011, 6:14 pmhow do i check my account type? In cimbclicks it shows that my account type is "savings account", it does not specify. By tagging the new account to the existing card means i get to access to two different accounts with one card?

It can be found in their Savings Account type...

CIMBClicks doesn't state whether you have a regular or basic savings account. You will need to check with their CS.


Yes

anybody here knows what is the minimum amount that I have to sustain in the cimb airasia account?

RM5,000 if you intend to claim the RM5/monthly return....

Hwo to get the AA deal 1 day earlier? Is it via cimb clicks or AA website? Will i get extra tab n my cimb login when registered to AA Saver acc?

You will get an e-mail & SMS alert from CIMB on the latest bidding opening...

Bear in mind this account have no passbooks, etc. Just an online account where u can transfer ur cash from ur regular savings a/c to this a/c to enjoy its benefits.

Its mean the CIMB AA A/C doesnt hv passbook? Thn I have to logged-in to check my balance of the A/C? The minimum saving to open the CIMB AA A/C?

No passbook.

You have to depend on the online statement in CIMBClicks.

Min amount should be RM 50.

It's credited on a monthly basis.
