1. Direct Access unit was previously set up by Southern Bank where they offered free annual fees for CC and other banking facilities over the phone. Was very successful as it was FREE. Main target were graduates and subsequently targetted professionals. When Southern Bank was forced to merged with CIMB (I still pissed off over this, wonder how much my Southern Bank shares would be worth today if it was not forced to merge ), CIMB retained the name and products.
2. If you ask me, better to go with CIMB card as not many people knows that Direct Access is part of CIMB. Only last week end went to Burger King and had to show them the back of my Direct Access where there is CIMB written on it to get 10% discount.
3. Watson no rebates. Petrol since this year no rebates. Burger King 10% discount everyday and Sunday extra 10% rebate. KFC 10% rebate on Sundays only. Every Sunday Guardian, Cold Storage, Giant and Tesco 5% rebate. No other rebates other than these. These rebate are promotion and offer will end on 30 June 2011 unless it is extended.
4. CIMB and Direct Access got 0% Balance Transfer Plan and also 0% Installment Plans for Education, Hospital and Insurance. However, these plans are also not permanent and for limited time only.
5. Without offers or promotions, CIMB standard non co-brand cards are as good as useless with 1X reward points only. hahaha
So if you want rebate card, go for OCBC Titanium or Maybankard 2 Cards.
the most important thing is, DA or CIMB, for fresh grade, apply for Mastercard, not Visa!
those rebates at kfc, burger king, teso, giant, etc. is only applicable for Mastercard ~
and yes, the promo will keep changing. u need to visit DA/CIMB website at least once in 6 months.

Added on January 25, 2011, 4:19 pmoh another advantage for DA/CIMB (no matter visa or mc), it give u free 10 months installment for insurance, hospital bil, and education.
example if u renew ur car insurance for rm1200, after 3 days just sms to convert it into installment.
so u just need to pay rm120 for 10 months. no fee at all, and no interest for remaining balance of the installment~

Added on January 25, 2011, 4:24 pmand previously, DA give 2% rebate at ALL petrol station. but no more starting this year
