I agree..
I think those banks like EON, MBF, AM... introducing World is a watse of time...

for those who can qualified for WORLD... they will definately go for MBB or CIMB... no 3rd choice...

It has nothing to do with the position of the word "WORLD". If you have seen CIMB Enrich WMC and SCB WMC, then you would know what I mean.

It has nothing to do with the placement of the word "World". As mentioned earlier, HSBC Malaysia does not have WMC in Malaysia.
The word World exist because the card design is standardized all over the world for HSBC Premier card holders.

SCB got WMC?

i did fd pledge & got my ocbc titanium, there are plenty of document to sign & got it stamp duty
however, bank still have the right to reject the application
btw, the min fd to pledge is RM3k

but PREMIER offer much higher CL and services compare to normal Plat member~

yes there is SCB preferred WMC.
Refer this.

hw much u paid for stamp duty? is it a fixed charges or it is based on certain percentage of the FD amount?

It is issued for SCB Preferred Banking customers. However, its benefits are just normal, such as Starwood's special promotion and golfing privileges, not as many as benefits offered by MBB and CIMB/DA WMC.

do u need to pay the stamp duty urself?

Yes, it is not recommended to own it, unless you need to swipe for a big amount urgently to earn 2x points.

I will definitely terminate it prior to the card anniversary this year.

bro, i rekcon u chage to HSBC, we Premier customers get very good treatment..

Leave SCB... lousy bank~! hate them!

Noted

So far I have been receiving good service from SCB. Their JustOne card is really one of the BEST and their contests give guarantee prizes (although it is impossible to win grand prizes).

my friend got a free Sony DC from them...

but I just can't forget how they treated me last time...

I notice from SCB Internet Banking the ChoicePoints don't get updated when the transaction is already posted.

Is the ChoicePoints credited after the statement is generated (i.e. after statement date) ?

Actually, I have seen some people's HSBC Premier Mastercards from around the world, and they DO NOT have the word world on them. So it's nothing to do with standardisation of the card design worldwide. And yes, these are recently issued cards.

Not saying that the one in Malaysia IS a WMC, but aren't there rules set down by MC International to ensure the word "World" only appears on WMCs? Just like Platinum/Gold. Also, just because there aren't a lot of benefits, doesn't mean it's not a WMC. Take CIMB's for instance. Maybe the HSBC Premier is a WMC but they choose not to market it as one?

On second thought... I think i agree with u..
Coz HSBC premier is exclusively for HSBC Premier Account holders... it's not open for non holder to apply like their Platinum....
so, I think they dun bother to market it as a World Card... that doesn't mean it is not a world card....

There are indeed some HSBC Premier MasterCards that do not bear the "world" word. For instance, some of those issued by HSBC Canada and HSBC UK. I have seen it myself a while ago but somehow it i have forgotten it until you brought this up. See below. Two of the cards do not have the word "world".


Another thing is that HSBC Premier MasterCard credit card is not offered in all the countries where HSBC Premier is present. For example, HSBC France and HSBC China. In fact, HSBC France doesn't issue any MasterCard Worldwide product at all whilst in China, local regulation prevents it from issuing the card. They do offer several joint-venture credit cards through Bank of Communications bearing both HSBC and Bank of Communications logo but i am not sure if they do issue a complimentary credit card to their Premier customers in China.


No one can really come up with the answer as to why the HSBC Premier MasterCard issued from certain countries do bear the word "world" whilst some don't. Anyway, there are a few things pointing that this HSBC Malaysia issued Premier MasterCard is not a World MasterCard.

1. The HSBC Group claims to issue World MasterCard only in USA, Australia and Japan to date.
2. MasterCard Worldwide made a grand unveiling of the World MasterCard product in Malaysia in a press conference back in 2008 saying that this card will be arriving in Malaysia very soon.
3. CIMB Bank unveiled Malaysia's first World MasterCard in 2008, the CIMB Enrich World MasterCard. It claimed this is the very first World MasterCard in Malaysia, a statement backed by MasterCard Worldwide.
