yah, noticed that vanderbilt and rockefeller postings are similar (always mentioning enrich points) and both also rich. rockefeller has MBB WMC and vanderbilt dad has RM300K CL for CIMB Enrich card. But the funny thing is vanderbilt started a thread asking where can "cash" out from merchant in KL or something like that rclxub.gif How come vanderbilt no ATM card?

so rockefeller care to explain?

Sir,

I want to ask, if i want to make full settlement of my credit card.. is there such thing as discount? I heard before but not sure its real or not...

2nd, let say I have 7k of cash n 7k of credit credit card debt...
should I pay that amount or do something else with that cash..

QUOTE(opjust @ Dec 12 2010, 09:44 AM)
ic... tq for your advise sir... i really felt the burden of paying only minimum payment everymth..
I want to settle all and forget about credit card... been using it for wedding preparation few mths back...

on the other hand, thats the only cash I got... I been thinking of paying my debt.. but got 1 of my frens giving me advise if u got the money use that for other purposes or just save it..

QUOTE(David83 @ Dec 12 2010, 08:53 AM)
There's no such thing of discount if you settled the CC bill before the statement/bill due date.

However, if you have other CC from another bank that offers balance transfer at attractively low interest; i.e 0% for 6/12 months, you can transfer the outstanding to that CC. By doing so, you can utilize your cash for other revolving purpose; not getting into more debts.

Make a wise decision.
*
opjust: your statement that you want to settle all and forget about credit card is good. As for your friend, he is not the one being imposed interest nor is he the one paying the bills. The only reason that can justify you paying off the debt later is that you now at this moment can use the money to invest and earn more than the CC interest charges but I doubt that (unless you can do BT as David mentioned and get 0% installement, but you need to have anther card on hand and it takes time to get a new one approved, if you posted before you purchase the stuffs, many here can give you ways to prolong your payment with 0% interest).

Go read the thread on how long it takes to pay up your debt if you only pay the minimum. It takes years, Don't start owing people money, moreover you just married and your lifestyle will change tremendously once you have children.

Just pay off the debt since you got the money and start saving all over again.

Second that.
Settle cc debt in full is top concern now. Somemore he said he has the money to cover.

Yes, most people were being conned into signing up for credit cards due to desperate promoters. I was at The Curve last October where I met this HSBC Senior Card Sales Executive. After listening to his explanation on the promotion of the HSBC Visa Platinum, such as cash bonus of RM50 on 1st swipe to cover the GST and 10% cash back on the 1st RM650 spend, I also signed up for the application. The promoter was so confidently told me that next year's GST will be cancelled. That was before the 2011 Budget was announced. When I received my new card on the same month itself, I did the necessary spending wait for the GST and other rebates to be credited back on the following month statement. Still no refund on first month. Tilll this month, there's no refund being given. So I called up the Customer Service and they are unaware about the promotions. I cancelled the card on the spot. My advice to all who wants to apply credit cards, please be careful when you meet this kind on unscrupulous promoters.
*
never listen to card sales.
any promo pls refer to bank's website.

Yesterday, I go to shopping and met the Standard Chartered Bank credit card promoters:-

Standard Chartered Bank  Business Platinum Visa Card,
On successful application and cash of RM 188.00 to your account less GST RM 50.00 and net received = RM 138.00. Any purchase rebate 0.50% and each RM 1.00 consumed get one point. Annual fee waive for first 2 years and subsequent years waive on call up. Oversea purchase RM 1.00 get 3 points. Airasia's ticket get travel insurance up to RM1 million. Worth to apply, anyone can advice? notworthy.gif

Yes, SCB Business VISA Platinum is one of the best Platinum cards in the market. This card offers many other benefits. I have already highlighted these in one of my previous postings.

4.50 can swipe cc?
*

I have swiped my CCs for transactions less than RM10 at Parkson, Jusco, Sogo, Isetan and Coffee Bean. I won't use cash so long as the merchants accept payment via CCs regardless of whatever amount. However, most of the smaller merchants only accept CCs for a specific amount spent.


QUOTE(jensen_tidus @ Dec 12 2010, 10:22 AM)
I can't find the list of OCBC 5% discount list in this new V13.

Today i got my statement, just wanted to inform everyone that JUSCO Supermarket at 1U do not entitled for 5%, instead i got 1% from it.

SESB (for who is from sabah), the 5% is there smile.gif
*

We have discussed this many times here. Many forummers here did not get 5% cash back for purchases at Jusco. SESB falls under utility bill category, thus giving you 5% cash back.

thats good ... seems like i dont want to activate my citibank platinum upgrade..
agreed with miles n more....it looks like silver
somemore a mere extra rm3k CL only from my gold....

In a way it is good right ? You can remain low-key yet continue to enjoy the Platinum privileges and 5x Points at certain department stores/supermarkets year round thumbup.gif

Guess most of West Malaysia can, even carrefour or Jusco can swipe Rm3 ... lol.. I've tried with my MAYBANK debit card before. brows.gif
This is how it should be. Anyway, Cold Storage only accepts credit card if the amount is at least RM10. Guardian sets the minimum purchase limit using credit card to RM20 and if my memory serves me correctly, Giant in Sabah requires RM20 too.

In East Malaysia here such as Miri, Sibu, Kuching, i can say 70% of the merchant only accept CC if your goods is more than RM50.

Hopefully SCB will extend the RM188 cash back promotion. But this RM188 cash will only given to new card upon approval. So I may have to apply for the new card first and thereafter cancel the WMC.
i tot it's not applicable to existing card holders
