Next month, i propose to pay the insurance in one year in a time.
The insurance agent told me, I can save 4.35%
3 insurance amount total up will be estimated RM10k
Please advise which solutions for me are the best?
1) Pay the 10k insurance with CIMB credit card.
a) Then, use EPP, for 10 months 2 % handling fees on 10K , addition charges will be RM200.
Off set with 4.35%, i still earn 2.25%
b) Use EPP, for 20 months, 4% handling fees on 10K, addition charges will be RM400
then, i still got earn 0.35%
However, i can extend my money to 20 months. use the extra cash to invest in other places for 8 months ( 20 months -12 months )
2) go to apply new credit card, my target is Maybank
as the balance transfer is 0.435% for 36 months
Yes you'll save some money for paying premium of certain kind of insurance policies. However, Investment link insurance can be paid monthly or quarterly or yearly, without incurring any additional charge.
CIMB got smart flexi pay program which enables you to stretch your payment to 10 months, with zero interest. Do your homework. Only if you intend to stretch to longer period, then do consider i.Pay plan, which got upfront fee.
If you want a new cc, go for AMBANK, because they are doing 12 months 0% interest installment.
