That's pretty efficient of them. A record for Maybank (sarcasm)

Please everyone, cut your CIMB Bank credit card NOW !


TM Online. Would suggest you to sign up for auto-debit so you'll get an additional RM2 rebate.


I wouldn't call this card better than OCBC Titanium MasterCard. Both got its pros and cons. Anyway, something for sure is that these two products are definitely some of the best currently available in Malaysia. Oh ... not to forget Standard Chartered Titanium MasterCard too.

For HSBC principal credit card, it's 9,500 points.

Have called CIMB hotline a few times. They are pretty fast in picking up calls all the time. Same goes to HSBC, OCBC, Public Bank and Citibank. The only bank that kept me waiting is Maybank. Thanks God i do not have to pay to call to KL


Most people in East Malaysia no longer have to pay such an exorbitant fee for calls to Peninsular Malaysia anymore since the introduction of so many call plans by TM. The package i have for example, gives me unlimited free calls to the whole Malaysia. I used to be very worried whenever calling MAS hotline last time (1 300 ...) because sometimes it took almost half an hour before i can finally talk to a real human.

Bad timing huh ? Anyway, i believe you will get your RM100 (RM50 for the AMEX Gold tax you already paid + RM50 for the Maybankard 2 you are going to pay) back in just a few months, depends on how much you spend on the weekend. The cash back scheme is just so good that my opinion is that you shouldn't wait any longer. Just jump man

Surprisingly, both my calls to Maybank just now were answered by a customer service executive in less than 10 seconds. The first time i called them, the guy told me the system is down. Called them the second time an hour later. My call was answered almost immediately too. And guess what ? My application for Maybankard 2 has been approved

I sent in the application by fax around 2.30pm last Friday. A Chinese guy called me approximately an hour later telling me that my IC and credit card are not clear and asked me if i can email him the supporting documents instead. Emailed him my IC and credit card around 4.30pm on the same day. Did not hear from him since. Anyway, the customer service officer told me my credit cards have been approved a few days ago. Basically it means that they probably only took 2-3 working days to process my application. How efficient of them. Kudos to Maybank


I'm on the RM110 Streamyx Blockbuster Deals. I do get free calls to both 1300 and 1800 too Calling mobile phone is very cheap too at only RM0.10/minute.


Now that i have got this Maybankard 2, OCBC Titanium MasterCard is my next target. What a shame my application was rejected last year. Hopefully i will finally get it this year.


It is this very "china men mentality" that helped them to sail through the last economic crisis relatively unscratched and maintain its position as one of the very few safe and sound white man bank in the new millennium.


Same here. My HSBC MasterCard is going by the second half of this year But before that, many thanks to this card as it has successfully helped me to secure credit cards from Citibank and Maybank. And i have also won RM110 from the last cash back promotion last year


Both has the same status, just different company. RM250k deposit at Standard Chartered will also already get you a VISA Infinite.

Definitely. Lions right ? They also got this at their HQ in Hong Kong, some of their main offices in Canada, their HQ in London and their former main office in Shanghai in The Bund. The bronze lions outside their HQ in Hong Kong survived the 2nd world war. Both of the bronze lions were sent to Japan to be melted but the war ended and both managed to return to Hong Kong.


No. In the first few months there will be penalty. It is RM100/month if i my memory serves me correctly. It used to be RM80/month last time. The SCB PB VI will be automatically canceled when you are no longer a SCB PB client.

There is a book about HSBC's history. This information is also available online The bronze lions outside their HQ in Hong Kong are even older than you and me


That sure was fast ! So, does the Maybankard 2 AMEX has the word Platinum printed on it ?


Yes. You can.

Because lion is the king of all animal kind


You will never get the exact exchange rate.

Definitely can. Our ASTRO is registered under my mom's name but the bill is billed to my credit card every month.

Yes

I don't think he is an agent for Citibank. Just that there is this member-get-member program going on at Citibank and he want to be the introducer so he can earn some money and he is willing to split the commission.

Great ... got free umbrella. I never got anything free from any bank

Ah ? Really got such thing ? I opened the Air Asia Savers Account at a former Southern Bank branch last year with more than RM5,000 of cash and all i got was a cimbclicks car sticker

How nice Will bring my friend there

There is already an existing AMEX thread.

It was posted before but not in the current thread but the old ones (v1 & v2).

I think someone mentioned that AMEX is also accepted at Maxis KLCC just a few days ago.

Of course not going there just to pay your Maxis bill. That'd be real stupid

Could this because HSBC's time is not yet 10am when you sent in the sms ?
