may i know whether debit card can be used to buy thing when it require credit card?
if the debit card got visa/mastercard logo, then yes.
However, certain online card processing companies can't process it. For instance, RHB Worldpay. For what reason i do not know.

I got HSBC Bank classic credit card since 2004. I realise that HSBC CC is not attractive, spent RM1.00 get 1 point. Cash conversion from point also not attractive, about 12000 points get RM 50.00. Plan to terminate this CC. How is the current Classic card reward, eg Hong Leong Bank Classic Credit card. Thank
Hong Leong Bank Classic credit card ? The points required to redeem a shopping voucher is just as high as HSBC's. I'd recommend you to go for either CIMB MasterCard, any Maybank credit card or Alliance Younique MasterCard. And if you earn no less than RM36k/pa, you might want to go for OCBC Titanium MasterCard.

BTW , anyone using Alliance Credit cards ??

What's the big differences between the classic and the You:nique Picture Cards besides you can change the picture ?
Cash back rates. If you choose the rebate option, you will get rebate and point at the same time.


QUOTE(ghoss @ Dec 13 2010, 01:28 PM)
Thanks but is the rate any better than the classic card ??
Rebate for Classic card is given up to a maximum spend of RM2,000/month only. For Gold card it is RM3,000/month and RM5,000/month for Platinum credit card.


QUOTE(ghoss @ Dec 13 2010, 01:28 PM)
Edit* Seems the rate is better on You:nique than the classic but what do I have to give up to enjoy the good rates ??  hmm.gif
you won't get any rebate or point if you choose the rate option.

Currently I don have any credit card, but due to I want to buy things online, i need one. May I know what requirement should I have to register credit card?
You will need an income.


QUOTE(ywkwy @ Dec 13 2010, 01:30 PM)
coz Im still student and no income yet.. Is those prepaid credit card worth it? I got a prepaid credit card from tune money when i open saving account at cimb bank on april, but till now i haven activate the card yet..
Debit card is the answer to your problem. You may consider :
- Maybank VISA debit card
- Public Bank Day2Day VISA debit card
- Public Bank ESSO VISA debit card

In my humble opinion, the Public Bank ESSO VISA debit card is the best card around and you should apply for it. First of all, there is no annual fee to pay and the reward is much better than Maybank VISA debit card. Maybank VISA debit card rewards really suck ! You can find out more about debit card HERE.

That's a huge investment laugh.gif

By the way, they claim it is 0% interest but that is not entirely true. This is because they will charge 5% tax (7% next year) not only to the postpaid plan you sign up for but also to the iPhone.


QUOTE(firee818 @ Dec 13 2010, 05:34 PM)
Mind elaborate the benefit of :-
CIMB Mastercard
Maybank Credit card
Alliance Younique MasterCard

Thank a lot!
You are looking for credit card with lower points needed for shopping voucher redemption right ? This is why i suggested these cards in the first place.

Would suggest you to go for Alliance Younique MasterCard as this card gives you both cash back and point (if you choose the rebate option).

for Maxis or Digi? Is it true?

I've read through Digi brochure and the 5% is government service tax on the phone plan
It's for DiGi.

if want to purchase iphone using EPP, dont do it with digi. u just swipe full amount of the phone price, then 3 days later call/sms bank to convert. so ur monthly bill for telco is different from ur monthly payment to bank.
Are we still entitle for the 0% interest ?

I got what you meant.
I too never manage to achieve RM50 cashback using DA card.
I did get RM50 cash back using CIMB MasterCard back in November 2008 at ISETAN biggrin.gif In fact, it reached the maximum rebate on my first swipe alone and i had to use my Maybankard AMEX Gold to pay for the second time at ISETAN so i can get 2x Treatpoints instead of 1x CIMB bonus point.

u misinterpret the meaning behind it

tax - enforce by government
charge - widely use on business

Iphone RM1999 spread to 24 months = RM83.30 (No service tax on this)
Plan package each month RM63 plus 5% service tax = RM66.15
QUOTE(charymsylyn @ Dec 13 2010, 10:04 PM)
Sales tax is not charged on the phone portion for Digi iPhone EPP, only on the monthly charges portion.
Argh ... my bad. When i saw "EPP 24 months: includes the iPhone + 24 months monthly fee + 5% service tax, over 24 months" in their T&C, i just assume they will tax the iPhone EPP too.

1st page, at 3. Credit Card linked to Petrol Giants

change to linked to Petrol only? biggrin.gif

i think, should add them too:

OCBC Titanium - all petrol station 5%
RHB Travel Money - all petrol station 2% (1st weekend 5%)
CIMB Direct Access Mastercard - all petrol station 2%
AMBG Carz - all petrol station 2% (3% if got outstanding for gold, 5% for plat)

smile.gif


Added on December 13, 2010, 9:52 pmand at 12. RM50 Government Service Tax - Currently STILL IN FORCE

pls edit/add:

The service tax will be collected on the date the card is issued (except HSBC, 1 month after)
Done.

By the way, you may want to wait until next month before buying an iPhone. The government is scrapping the 10% tax on cellphone (already added to the price). It means all cellphones will be 10% cheaper if you buy it next year biggrin.gif

Walk into any of their branch, tell them what do you want to do. They will ask you to sign on a form and they will help you to process the rest.

how long they will take ? will they extend the payment due date ?
Up to 3 months if i am not mistaken. Sometimes if it is like double charging, then it will take just 2-3 days to resolve the problem. And no, they will not extend the payment due date.

Thanks for the link. It means the price of most mobile phones will still remain the same and the price will only drop as it is getting replaced by newer model doh.gif
