Anyone using this saving account ?

is its Priority Booking for Airasia Promotion works ?

so if works, when RM0 fare/ other promotion, it means i can booking 1 day before others?

http://www.cimbbank.com.my/index.php?ch=cb...2&tpt=cimb_bank

system will sms u about the promo 1day earlier that other.
other than that remains same as others SA

how about priority booking ?

when RM0 fare we can book 1 day earlier too ?

I have this account. It is my primary day-to-day transaction account now. As far as i am concerned, you get the same 1 day priority booking just like the Air Asia credit card. This applies to all sort of promotions Air Asia is having.

but i ask few who use AA CC, they said RM0 fare is not available for 1 day priority booking

only those unimportant promotion hv it

Hmm ... then i am not too sure.

correct!

AA promo for RM0 fare is NEVER offer 1 day priority booking!

the priority booking promos are usually for RM5, RM25 ticket.

I notice that the bank transfer charge of this account type is RM5 per transaction??!?!?

You mean interbank funds transfers ? No. It is RM2 only for this account.

Hi bro MilesAndMore, so you did transfer from this account before?

What is the RM5 stated on the website then?

No. I have done this only through my CIMB Basic Savings Account. Anyway, the IBG fee for Air Asia Savers Account really is just RM2. The RM5 stated in their website has absolutely nothing to do with IBG and i am not sure what is that about.

how to bid the free flight/ free tickets? must register at air asia first?

All have to be done in CIMB Clicks.

I'm planning to open an CIMB AirAsia Savers Account. On the website, its stated that the interest rate is 1.40% p.a. flat, no tiers - CIMB AirAsia Savers Account - Interest Rate

This is somehow an higher percentile of interest compared to other savings account right?

Also, the high interest rate of 1.40%, up to 2.60% p.a. (inclusive of the RM5 cash back if average balances of at least RM5,000 with no over-the-counter transaction in any day of the month) seems like an very interesting offer as almost 100% of my banking transactions are done online - thus giving me more reasons to open up this account.

Currently have savings accounts with Maybank & Public Bank.

Looking for an alternative savings account to maintain upper 4 figures to 5 figures savings.

Would this be an viable option?

the 1.4% p.a is highest interest rate for a saving account so far...

YUP....

...which explains my interest in getting an savings account with CIMB

Lets say if I maintain RM 5000 throughout the year...
The incentive & interest gain p.a would be RM70 + RM60 (Monthly incentive for maintaining RM5000/month) = RM130.
So it is actually 2.6% p.a

*** High interest rate of 1.40%, up to 2.60% p.a. (inclusive of the RM5 cash back if average balances of at least RM5,000 with no over-the-counter transaction in any day of the month)....

Added on March 14, 2011, 1:15 pmYou mentioned that you have this account right, how's the interest rate like? Is it as mentioned on the website - 1.4%?

I did receive the SMS regarding the priority booking. But when I log in and check for the fair, it's still the same and doesn't seem to be with the offer price. How would the system knows that we are actually the airasia saver account holder? I'm kinda confused..

CIMB staff called me and introduced this savings account.

Still thinking about it..

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?

This post has been edited by lolz1120: Aug 12 2011, 06:14 PM

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.

[I][COLOR=blue]
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.

TQ David83, for ur kind info...

damn, I thought this CIMB AirAsia Saver's account got BIG Card ID, after applied only know that I still need to apply Big Card.....

May I know this account, the interest is monthly credited into my account or yearly?

It's credited on a monthly basis.

The benefit of this cimb airasia savers account on the airasia booking is same with CIMB credit card or not? since I already posses a CIMB credit card & also have air asia Big card.

And now I intend to open another new saving account, just to allocate some of my monthly salary into this new account, for saving purpose and also to avoid i use up all my $$.
suggestion pls...

How often CIMB will credit the grocery rebate of 1% to my savings account?

So anyone use this service n back from from holiday using their promo?

Good?

Anyone know how to get their 2.4% rate? how much money did we need to put into account to get 2.4% rate?

if i am not mistaken, u hav to put at least 5k to enjoy that 2.4% rate

if the first month account balance gt RM5k, and then the subsequent month i withdraw money til below RM5K, so could I enjoy the RM5 return still? I saw the above post saying that the interest is credited monthly?

dont think so, i has 15k in there, yet i only get 1.2 only. tat y i ask.

Added on October 21, 2012, 10:52 ami think the answer is no, at cimb website, it say "inclusive of the RM5 cash rebate if average balances of at least RM5,000 with no over-the-counter transaction in any day of the month"

This post has been edited by kingdomanga: Oct 21 2012, 10:52 AM

is monthly credit the rebate

The interest rate is only 1.2%. You'll get additional RM5 if you maintain a balance of at least RM5000 and do no over the counter transactions.
The 2.4% is when you add 1.2% of RM5000 and RM5. So, at RM5000, you'll get 2.4%. At RM6000, you'll get 2.2%. The calculations are assuming you get RM5 rebate every month for a year.
Basically, you'll get the highest returns in % if you have just RM5000 in account. Any amount higher or lower, you'll get a lower return in %

nice sharing of info

Thanks for the info!!! Now I finally understand already!!!

hello, so do they charge RM8 for annual fee or processing fee?

Hi all,
I have one doubt regarding to the priority booking. How AirAsia website able to identify whether the login user is AirAsia Saver's account holder? Is it we must use AisAsia Saver's account to make the payment? Is it everyone who login one day before the public announcement of special fare will enjoy the same benefit?

Added on November 29, 2012, 8:57 pmRM8 is the annual fee, same as saving account with ATM card

i just created a CIMB Airasia saving account today

may i know am i able to take 1000 BIG loyalty point from Airasia if i register Big card now?

second, if i don't register member as Big Loyalty Card, do i still receive priority booking, E-ticket, Promotional Rates?

I have CIMB air asia saving account since last year

and i just sign up as a Big member. how do i know whether both accounts are linked?

If i get Big points through CIMB AA SA how will they inform you?

benefit, higher interest and interest by monthly basis

Do they still have it now? The AA Savers Account.
I only have a BIG card and that's not really useful IMO

Never heard of this

anyone know if AA Saver account can be open via internet banking or must go to counter for opening?

I applied mine via cimb clicks. Look for "Apply For" on top of page after you logged in cimb clicks.

Want to ask, anyone receives the RM5 incentive interest for December month? I didn't receive mine even though I pass RM5K average and no OTC transactions. The customer service also sucks and when I call, totally have no idea what is Airasia Saving account and ask me to call CIMB....=.=

Yes I received.

31-Dec-2013, 00:00:00 INCENTIVE CR 5.00

Thanks for the reply. I guess it's just me

Just wondering why I didn't get mine. I got mine in November and the only difference is that I did make some gold purchase and also did some FD placement online during December. But my balance still remain above RM5k throughout the month....unless they count gold purchase and FD as OTC transaction?

the only incentive to open this account is you are a loyal AA flight passenger because you can transfer you money to BIG card without fees, and BIG card is the only card you can buy AA tickets without any fees, even Direct transfer also incur fees now.

i got an issue, how come ATMs from other banks cant detect my AA Savers account? not to mention, reloading my starbucks card is also quite a hassle; i need to transfer from my AA Savers to my normal savings account to able to reload.

You also can earn 250 BIG Points with every RM1,500 average quarterly balance in your CIMB Bank AirAsia Savers Account.

Question: If I already have a BIG account before I apply for CIMB AirAsia Savers Account, how do I link them together to be entitled for the BIG Points?

Bear in mind that, you will need to link your CIMB Bank AirAsia Savers Account to BIG membership account in order to earn points. You can link it at http://www.tune2big.com/cimb-aa-form/

MANY THANKS!

Both AirAsia Big and CIMB were clueless when I posted that simple question to them.

ya.. this seems not communicated well internally.

I have opened air asia savers account today and the staff told me the annual fee for atm card is rm15 is it true?

Normal ATM card is rm8 while Debit Card is rm15 p.a
so yeah, It's rm15 p.a

It is most likely due to your Air Asia Savers Account is your secondary account in your ATM/debit card.

hmm, i set the account as a debiting account as well.
if i need to make it primary, i should go to nearest branches to do this?

Yes. I believe you do.

Hi guys, want to ask if I tell CIMB staff that I want to open saving account, they will open this AirAsia Savers account for us by default ? Is the rate for IBG and online bank transfer the same as regular account ?

IBG fee is the same as other accounts which is RM0.10/transfer via CIMBClicks. For the card, make sure you request for a normal ATM card instead of a debit MasterCard as the annual fee for ATM card is lower at RM8/pa only. For the CIMB debit MasterCard, the ATM card annual fee is RM15/pa.

I see. So if I ask for regular debit card RM 8 per year, how about my account ? Will it be regular saving account or air Asia savers account ? Thank you

1. You have to tell the staff that you want the ATM card (without debit MasterCard function) and sometimes you have to insist for it as sometimes ill-informed staff may tell you CIMB Bank no longer issue the old ATM card.

2. If you want the Air Asia Savers Account, then you need to tell the staff specifically that you want him/her to open the Air Asia Savers Account for you. If you say nothing at all when you go to open a savings account, they may open a regular savings or a basic savings account or may be Air Asia Savers for you.

i'm planning to open a cimb join account, is this a good account for daily transactions?

also, if i already have an existing account, can i swap it to this account?

You can keep your old account even if you have open a joint-account. It's same as individual saving account where you can do daily transactions.

Is there any option not to have their ATM card for AA Savers but want their internet banking facilities? I don't want to pay the RM 8 since I don't use the ATM card at all.

me too.. i feel dun1 to have their ATM card..

I thought is free for life...imagine the shock when kena RM15 on March lol, but seems they give RM5 rebate to my annual fee?

And the RM5 interest if keep balance above RM5K is getting annoying. This is the 3rd time they didn't bank into me. Call CS they also blur, and I keep spamming the complaint forms...this is stupid

well what can I say. Banks wanna profit also,that's why they charge for their "services".
u keep spamming until one day they cannot "tahan" anymore, sure the money would be bank-in

Bro, is it possible to transfer money from the AA savers account to my normal basic savings account? Tried doing it online via cimbclicks but cannot find any option to do so. Can you please advise?

Thanks!

It was possible last time, as in 3 years ago. Anyway, i closed all of my CIMB Bank accounts last year and i no longer have access to CIMBClicks. So very sorry bro

No prob bro, thanks anyway =)

just got my AA Savers account and they gave me a debit card with rm15 p.a can i change it to a normal atm card which is only rm8 p.a? such a big different between 15 dollar and 8 dollar every year

at first pissed off by cimb increasing their debit card annual fee to $15.but later cimb slowly compensate the higher fee with more promotions such as GSC $10 ticket, cashback(got lucky and won twice),cash rebates,etc

still possible
Select Transfer within CIMB Bank
from is your AA Savers a/c
to you can choose my own cimb bank a/c

yes it says savings so you need to know your AA Savers a/c to transfer
edit:if you open the TO tab it will tell you which is savings a/c,which is airasia savers

Does anyone face any issue when linking the CIMB AA account to the BIG account via this link: http://www.tune2big.com/cimb-aa-form/? Doesnt seem able to process it after fill up all the detail, was directed to a blank page..

To be able to transfer between the account.. Need to link the saver account with your saving account. The link is available in "Settings" and select "ATM/Debit card service"

But the process of verification would need 5 working days... Then after linking, you will be able to transfer

Not good rate already..

CIMB has been secretly revising all their rates downwards. They reduce their FD rates on Oct 1st too.
