Hi all

i got a simple question
my brother is in the states for 3 weeks (this is the 2nd)
the 1st week he used up >30% of the credit (car rental)

and due to being <6month user, the bank refused credit limit increased.

so now the Q is whether i can bank in more than the credit used (like 3K CR used but bank in 5K)
practically increasing the credit limit personally?
*
yes u can.

Hi, all. i'm a newbie of CC and i hope i could get helps here.

I'm planning to purchase a fitness equipment which cost around 4.5k. The outlet did have 2 types of installment plans which are 24 months and 12 months. The interest rate is 2% of the total amount. But in order to enjoy the 24 months installment plan, only EON & Ambank cards are allowed. Other cards only enjoy 12 months installment.

I'm currently a HSBC supp card holder and i'm planning to get either EON / Ambank CC. My annual salary is only able to apply for the CC with annual salary = 30k. From what i see from the banks website, it seems Ambank Carz card has more priviledge than the EON normal CC. But EON bank card allows me to pay my parents' insurance(ING) by installment without any charges while other banks will have charges.

May i ask any recommendation / advice? Thanks in advanced.
*
regarding the ING installment, do you mean autopay/direct debit or pay 1 lump sum then convert to installment?

if convert to installment, then ambank got am-flexi pay.
currently got promo free for 6 months (min rm1000) and also free for 12 months (min rm2500).

A question for you guys. Is it true that you need to pay a certain percentage if you paid something using credit card more than certain amount?
Im planning to pay for my car downpayment using my cc ~RM30k. But the sales person told me that if im using cc more than RM5k, i need to pay 1.7% of interest. Is that really a rule? by the way the car dealer is not some small 2nd hand car dealer, Its Nasim sdn bhd.
*
actually that % is the fee charged by bank to them.

u swipe rm30k, but later bank will give them rm29,490 only (bank keep rm510).

so they dont want bank take rm510, so they want u to swipe rm30,510.

if, u got 6 credit cards, just pay rm5k x6? laugh.gif

since i already have a mbb petronas card that just charged me GST RM50 and CS offer me 10k points if i swipe RM3k in 6 months. Should I just apply the MBB 2 card and swipe instead? I'll have another GST RM50 charged.
*
1. just pay mbb petronas rm50.
2. apply mbb2.
3. received mbb2, cancel the petronas (make sure got mbb2 first before cancel the petronas!).
4. enrolled 3 autopay with amex and u will get 10k tp so can offset mbb2 gst.
5. swipe rm1k on weekend only within a month, can get back rm50 already and cover the petronas gst.

even, if, u swipe rm3k in 6 months with mbb2, u already get 15k tp and can redeem rm50 vouchers already, can take this to cover the petronas gst too.
even better, if all rm3k in 6 months are swiped on weekend, u can get back rm150 cashback.

Maybank doesn't offers 8.88% immediately but after 12 months.
*

correction - immediately.

but then, why look for the interest rate? just pay full statement balance each month and it doesnt matter even the rate is 1000%! icon_rolleyes.gif

Hmm like for my HSBC Master & Visa, I activated Verified by Visa & Mastercard Secure Code. I am wondering does Maybank have that kind of activation via Maybank2U?

QUOTE(David83 @ Feb 23 2011, 12:00 AM)
It's called Maybankard Secure Online Shopping (MSOS).

QUOTE(blahbleh @ Feb 23 2011, 12:02 AM)
Ah, this is very important. Must activate it as soon as I get my Maybank Dua Card.

this:

It's important but it also depends on the merchant side. If the merchant didn't enforce 3D security, it may not be full proof also.
*
alert 1 = send payment via paypal no need that 3D security (send payment manually at paypal website)! doh.gif
but pay via paypal will go through the 3D security (pay via paypal at seller website) hmm.gif

alert 2 = some bank which their card not activate those 3D security yet, will 'allow' it to be registered immediately while purchasing! sweat.gif
so pls set ur 3D security password even u not using it!

can i terminate my card even if i have outstanding?
then after terminate slowly pay the outstanding?
*
no u cannot.

if u want to terminate, u need to pay full amount 1 lump sump before can terminate it, if not bank wont allow it.

or, do BT to another card then can cancel the card.

Very good rate for Maybankard 2 Visa.
Any comparison with Maybankard2 AMEX in HKD ?
*
MBB2 AMEX product disclosure already stated:

Overseas transaction conversion fee for Maybankard 2 American Express Cards:
Conversion factor of 2.5% to the converted amount. A charge that is made in foreign currencies other than U.S. Dollars will, when the conversion is done by American Express, be converted into U.S. Dollars before being converted into your billing currency

Have a quetion guys. Im currently using AMEX gold + Sony Gold Card, both from Maybank.

Now i'd jus want to swap this two for the new Maybankard 2. What would be the easiest way to go about? Just fax them with all the documents, wait to receive the card, THEN cancel the current card? Or must i cancel first only im allowed to apply?

thanks all! ^^
*
better apply and get approved 1st before cancel current cards.

Guys, i would like to know about easy payment. Let say i just made a purchase of RM 10K, and i would like to pay back my CC debts monthly installment. Currently holding CIMB Gold card, I saw CIMB website offer Smart i-Pay Plan. Should I make the call to convert my payment on the spot after swipe my card or wait for a few day then call to them? Do i have to give any information to convert the purchase receipt?
*
need to wait about 3 days. the easiest way is if u have cimbclicks then check recent transaction, if posted already then can convert.

convert can be done via sms ~

if sms, no need. just need the merchant name (in cimbclicks - Description) and the amount, plus how long (the month) u want to convert ~
