Everybody starts to rebuild credit card combination due to MBB2. LOL.
My DA MC still has FlexiPay which will finish within 4 months. In this 4 month's time, if CIMB MC does not come out with attractive features, then byebye.
Oh ya, TreatsPoints is evergreen; CIMB pts expires in 3 years. mad.gif

Even though one has Amex/Visa/MC, the cards can vary in benefits and features. Like me, I already have OCBC Ti MC , DA MC and SCB Visa, will cut the latter two soon after flexi pay finished.

I have enough MCs with me so that I don't mind to get a VISA (although it will probably turn into sleeping mode). With the addition of Maybank 2 Amex Platinum and VISA Platinum, I will retain SCB JustOne Titanium MC and OCBC Titanium MC. My cards to be terminated include Amex Gold cc and SCB Preferred WMC. I may or may not retain DA VI, depending on its BT programme.

currently holding DA VI, Essential , OCBC Tit, will most probably cut Essential for MBB2 Amex since rebates for Amex is almost 2.5% (depending on what voucher you redeem) but the problem is card acceptance. The points for MBB2 Visa is shakehead.gif . I long for the day when ONE card is sufficient, I want the PERFECT card....

If I have MBB Amex Credit Card (without MBB logo) and it still has many months of 0% installment for Maxis iPhone4, ff apply Maybank 2 CC, can it transfer to the new Amex CC ?
Or must settle everything ?
Or consider as balance transfer ?

told already before. seems imposibble to transfer amex MR card to amex TP card.
need to settle everything. but, maybe got penalty fee for early termination of current installment.
no idea if can BT amex MR (non mbb logo) to amex TP (mbb logo).

I'm not worry on the transfer MR/TP. I can spend all that.

I'm more curious on the installment plan, how to deal with it. I can settle full, but just wondering if can transfer the installments or not, and as you mention, if there are any penalty.

i also didnt mean about the points.

what i mean is the type of card.
amex mbb TP (such as pantai) should have no prob to upgrade/transfer to new maybankard 2.
since both amex with mbb logo and use TP.

Anyway, thanks for helping though. smile.gif I've sort it out.

If can, will transfer or pay full, and use only MBB 2 CC (Amex & Visa) = RM50 GST for two cards.

If penalty >RM50, then might as well I retain one of the card (that has 0% installment on-going), and apply for MBB 2 CC. = RM50 + RM50 GST
Total 3 CC

Otherwise, if I keep it as it is now and don't apply, my two MBB CC (Amex + Visa) also RM50 + RM50
Total 2 CC only.

Therefore, conclusion is, submit application for it. smile.gif

Have a nice weekend. biggrin.gif

yes, you are right. It is a good practice to do that when applying for another CC where they want a copy of your existing CC front and back. The back is to verify that the card signature is the same as in the application form.

Installment plan and BT exit penalty is also a strategey by banks to prevent card holders from cancelling thier cards. Alliance BT exit penalty is damn high at 5% of the approved Balance Transfer Amount.

depends on the bank.

like HSBC, to convert to installment, need approval code at the slip.
if u purchase online usually dont have approval code (such as at airasia / gsc / tgv website).
so u cannot apply for flexi payment.

but CIMB no need approval code. just need amount and company name.
i did convert smart-flexi pay for takaful pay-by-phone (10 months free for insurance) thumbup.gif

so it depends on the bank policy also la,
better ask the CS before making any transactions online,
whether can or not use flexi payment,
if cannot, once bought it, die standing me with the finance charge sweat.gif

If you don't have enough money to buy the thing in the first place, just don't buy it. CC is a tool for convenience, not for debt accumulation.

ok here my experience with DA (previously):

my DA cant swipe at same brand (not same location) petrol more than 2x/day.
but last time i encounter this prob is back to year 2008 if not mistaken.
since then i never swipe more than 2x at same brand petrol station.
dunno if now no more restriction like that. also not using DA anymore for petrol laugh.gif

btw, swipe at esso then mobil consider as 2 different brand.
and why u swipe 3x in a day? u can just pump rm120 and get 4x entries of myvi contest at esso/mobil brows.gif

I've swiped my EssoMobil card at the same Esso station 3x a day (2 of those times back to back for 2 cars). No problems. I think it depends on the card, just like how some banks call you if you swipe a large amount and some don't.

By the way, TM is really efficient (in email at least) . I got my reply pertaining to the RM2 and RM4 rebate. rclxms.gif

Thank you for contacting TM.

Referring to your e-mail dated 18th January 2011 on autopay rebate status, we have received feedback from our respective department. We would like to inform that rebate of RM 2 per service line for autopay service will be given to the customers based on the following criteria:

1. Customer is tagged under autopay service
2. Successful payment received through autopay service based on the POC tagging
3. Minimum payment received per account is RM 20 and above.
4. Rebate is given per service line
5. Rebate will only be updated in the following month bill based on the payment received in current month. It shows ? Diskaun Autopay (Pekej C)

Please be inform that you have 2 service line which is Streamyx and fixed line. Kindly noted that you will be given RM4.00 rebate for every successful transaction more that RM20 every month. Upon checking in system, we found that payment for January bill with amount RM53.05 was made on 14th January 2011. Therefore, rebate will be reflected on your February bill. Kindly be advise to check your February bill for rebate status. Should you have any other enquiry or issue, you may revert to us for further assistance.

I see.
So, the cause is the number of service line. RM2 rebate for each service line.
My Streamyx is packaged under Celcom promotion (because the bill comes from Celcom), but I still get autopay rebate for two service lines.
RM4 rebate on bill amount RM30++ is almost 10% discount ! Bravo TM!

I dont feel safe applying cc using email, as the scanned documents (ic and cc) in email can be rechanneled easily and reproduced clearly if they fall into the wrong hands. Fax copies which is not very clear would be better in my opinion.
May be I am being paranoid especially after watching those internet-related movies
