Yes, really. I did receive sms from HSBC offering 0% BT for 6 months. But this promotion is not advertised in thier website.

i'm not sure if this is a silly question, but i'm going to ask anyway, is it possible to do partial BT? Eg: i have an installment plan with hsbc for my iphone which i intend to continue, so say tomorrow i go swipe 10k, issit possible to just BT that 10k (without touching my iphone installment) to say AMEX?

Lets just make it easier. Is it possible to do partial BT from one credit card to another?

I want to keep my hsbc because i love the card and use it all the time but also want to take advantage of AMEX's 0% BT for a large purchase.

I've never done BT in my life, so not too sure

Trying hard to understand what are you trying to say. Let's try
When you do installment ... the lump sum already become small payment. So it will look weird that you are actually BT more than what you owe to the bank right ? Unless of course you intend to close the other cc then might as well terminate the installment plan and do a full BT.

On another note, I hope all the folks here will be mindful on how they present their fact about the BT waiver. I'm concerned that there's increasingly many want cards with free GST. IMHO, the real consideration would be to use cc which best suit your lifestyle.  E.g SCB Titanium does not have free GST waiver but I'm very sure folks who has it does not cancel it, pay the GST and become the envy of those who can't apply for it.

I don't want to sound harsh but if you can't pay RM50 then please don't bother to use cc. Use cash.
CC rewards you when you spend ... never ever chase a cc just because of the freebies. You are unlikely to have a happy ending that way.

thanks rickyywong,

you're a star

Existing installment plan cannot do BT to another card while the new transaction as you mentioned going to swipe 10k tomorrow can be BT to another card (for new transaction, must wait it appear on the statement b4 apply for BT). This is not consider partial BT.

Partial BT eg:
Existing outstanding balance without installment plan = RM25000
Apply BT to another card = RM15000
Balance outstanding on existing card = RM10000

Full BT eg:
Existing outstanding balance without installment plan = RM25000
Apply BT to another card = RM25000
Balance outstanding on existing card = RM0

Hope that this will answer your question... icon_idea.gif
