We have to see to believe... screenshot with transaction dates and location is sufficient.

i'm afraid MaxWealth is confused sweat.gif

my statement (13th) in jan also got rebate for petrol.

04-Jan-2011 ESSO GRAND SAGA SB CHERAS 58.74
09-Jan-2011 ESSO JLN MAHARAJALELA KUALA LUMP 30.26
12-Jan-2011 0041 REBATE-PURCHASES AT PETROL STN 11.63

when i calculate my petrol bill on jan, it cant match the rebate. coz the jan rebate should be 1.78 ~
but when i calculate my petrol bill on dec, yes can match the rebate.

regarding tm rebate:

Autodebit on Telekom actually rebates RM4 or RM2 ? I have enrolled and all I got is RM2. (streamyx combo bill RM100)
*
i signed up 2 autodebit with MC on 2009, 1 is normal tm + streamyx, and another 1 is streamyx combo, both got rm4 each till now.
i remember that time got printed ads autodebit with mc and get rm4 rebate. not sure if still got now.

coz now what i see is rm2 rebate autodebit with visa (ads printed sent together with latest bill).

maybe this is what u sweetpea123 get.

Hey guys,

Since some of your are credit/charge card collectors. Can someone tell me what is the use of :

1. AMEX Credit Card
2. AMEX Charge Cards

Since both have very low acceptance... Any difference in terms of acceptance betweent he credit/charge variant?
*
no diff of acceptance. as long as got amex logo.

the diff is, charge card must pay full balance while credit card can pay minimum balance (actually all credit card should pay full balance too like charge card).
another diff is charge card have no pre-set spending limit, while credit card got credit limit.

QUOTE(chemistry @ Jan 18 2011, 10:25 PM)
Regarding the new Maybank 2 cards, I wonder Gold & Platinum got any difference in the points given & cashback rate?
*
nops. just plat get plat benefits such as complimentary golf at selected golf courses and travel insurance coverage.

btw, mbb webmaster doing copy paste work.
at plat page at top shows "Minimum annual income:RM60,000" but at bottom shows "Malaysians and expatriates with a minimum annual income of RM30,000" (must be copied from gold page. haha)

no matter how many card you have with MBB, the CL for all cards are combiined and not just for the Maybankard 2 cards (where these 2 cards share a single statement).

For exmaple, I got MBB Petronas Visa, MBB Plat Master Card and American Express Gold CC (without MBB log) and all these 3 cards have separate statements and different due date but they share the same combined limit.
*
my sis-in-law normal maybank petronas and maybank ikhwan petronas got diff credit limit.
maybe bcoz different of maybank & maybank islamic?

currently i have EPP with cimb card?
can i pay more than my statement balance so that the extra money can cover for next month EPP?
is there any penalty charge to me for that?
*
cimb, if u pay more than statement balance, it will deduct to recent transaction.
but if u didnt swipe at all till next statement, then yes, it will deduct the next month installment amount.

QUOTE(winner @ Jan 20 2011, 01:35 PM)
No complimentary lounge access for both Maybankard 2 Amex Platinum and Platinum MC/VISA for the time being, this was what the CS officer told me earlier. Or else, they should have already highlighted in the advertisement and website.
*
agree. if have the priviledges, it should shows in the website to attract more cust.

QUOTE(mustang @ Jan 20 2011, 05:02 PM)
Just a note to members who recently had their DA CC upgraded from Gold > Plat. I already have the card for around 1 year and managed to view the CC in CIMB Clicks until few days ago when the CC is disjoin from CIMB Clicks. I called CS and after some troubleshooting, they let me know the card does not have a pin and I asked I have been able to view the card in CIMB Clicks for the past 1 year and they replied they are doing some sort of system upgrade and I have to go through the hassle of applying the pin again  rclxub.gif  shakehead.gif
*
i got my da upgrade from gold to plat too before. but no problem with cimbclicks. even my discontinued (cancelled) gold and cancelled visa plat still there.

QUOTE(johnnyc @ Jan 20 2011, 08:48 PM)
I have called and speak with the CS, and he confirmed that if i'm gonna apply for maybankard 2, i will get separate credit limit.

However, this CS when i ask him for conversion of my islamic amex to maybankard 2, he said it was not possible at the moment and he suggest to apply new one and cancelled the present amex when the new one is approved.

I think to call and ask again to see his version is tally with the next CS.
*
for me, mbb should have no prob upgrade mbb amex (amex with TP, not MR) such as pantai to this maybankard 2 amex.

ikhwan might not possible coz this maybankard 2 is not under maybank islamic.
so, the easiest way is as suggested - apply new maybankard 2 and cancel the current ikhwan.

I have some credit cards with pretty high limit, but then again I really cannot think of how it is going to be useful to me.

I ever asked if I could pay even the downpayment for a house using CC, they said no. Cars dealers as afaik, they don't accept it.

I wanted to invest with an international investment company, also they don't accept credit card.

What's the use of bank assigning high credit limit? I don't buy expensive luxury items, I don't survive on credit card. The high credit limit doesn't seem to serve its purpose. Except for some ppl who might want to have a boost on their ego...
*
some house developer do accept credit card payment.

2008 i bought proton saga blm for my dad, swipe full amount at proton. no problem.

no harm u have high credit limit but dont spend high. its free what? laugh.gif

many people here have a card with 6-figure cl but only use 1 or 2 figure amount each month smile.gif

even the card number automatically appear on cimbclicks before the card arriving at home ~

QUOTE(winner @ Jan 21 2011, 09:40 AM)
Did you pay the amount in FULL or partial payment (such as booking fee or downpayment) via cc? I know most car dealers would accept cc payment for booking fee or downpayment only. If you want to pay more via cc, they would impose a surcharge.
*
i pay deposit rm500 and balance rm34,448 (if not mistaken) full amount at proton shah alam.
i went there that time coz i want it to be - pay full amount can get car fast. dont want to wait so long (that time saga blm just launched).
oh btw, no surcharge at all smile.gif

QUOTE(gerrardling @ Jan 21 2011, 10:01 AM)
for me mc and visa is almost the same. a lot of shop are accepting it already compare to last time. for internet transaction, visa and mc are widely accepted. i got mc already, so i dont mind getting visa here tongue.gif
*
if here in malaysia, yes, can say where visa is accepted, mc too.
the differ is their promo.
my opinion, should have at least 1 mc and 1 visa.

QUOTE(thtan @ Jan 21 2011, 10:10 AM)
I do need the high credit limit, but some merchants/institutions just don't accept credit card for large transactions.
I merely came to highlight the lack of card acceptance for bigger transactions. How is that negative?
*
i never find merchants that dont accept credit card for large transaction.
i swipe almost rm35k for 1 time at proton no problem.

or, how LARGE amount do u mean? rm100k? shocking.gif
possible they dont accept bcoz the discount rate (or we called it as fee/surcharge for credit card transaction), normal is around 0.5% - 3%.
so if u want to swipe rm100,000 and their rate is 3%, they will received only rm97,000.
rm3000 is a huge amount to 'loss'!
or, if u dont care, offer them to pay the surcharge ~ whistling.gif
but usually merchant will tell if pay via card got surcharge or not? so why they dont want to accept if u pay the surcharge? hmm.gif


QUOTE(thtan @ Jan 21 2011, 10:29 AM)
It's dangerous if you drop the card/get robbed/fraud. Banks may not absorb the losses due to the reasons mentioned, don't assume that(depending on the situation).
So what I do is - I keep some cards at home.
*
card dropped or get robbed, report bank and police immediately.

for fraud, bank usually call immediately to verify large amount. cimb even called me for rm60 swipe at shell previously!
(maybe bcoz the card never been swiped at shell).
and of coz my rm2k, rm9k also been verified by the bank.

leave the card at home, then how if the home get robbed while u outside?
by the time u at home, the card already been swiped somewhere, u call bank to suspend the card but its too late?

u can search previous thread, i already had experience.
my card had been fraud at kajang while i'm at kuantan (alibi by police report). bank absord the loss.
but let say if u leave ur card at home (kl), u also at kl, then ur house get robbed and ur card also been fraud at kl, how? doh.gif

the point now is, u should do have the cash before swipe.
rather than pay using cash, pay using card can get points or rebates thumbup.gif

i told already before, even kfc bill rm4.50 only, i still pay with card to get back 10% cashback (u know what card) brows.gif

Not so worried about home getting broken in. I think my home is more secure than most homes. Coz the CID HQ is just right behind my house. Just from their office they can see my backyard. Free security 24hrs.. ohyeah.. I just wonder if there's robber dumb enough to try break in any of the homes here.

Like u said, normally they won't allow anyone to swipe that big amount >30k coz they are charged for it. As for me, i'm so tempted coz I can get tons of points. hehe..

I will not pay the surcharge lo, and I think few wealthy people will flaunt their money like that. Bad karma u know. If one is really that rich, should donate the money to charity. We all ought to make this world a better place.

For fraud, can't rely entirely on the bank. I got called for a measly <100 bux internet transaction, even blocked my card for swiping at petrol stations 2x in one day...  but they never called me for retail transactions when i buy stuff like notebook. sigh.... Their focus is just not at the right place.
*
1. OT, dont be SO confident about security. a robber can just enter ur house from front door too, acting like a house owner relative/fren tongue.gif

2. pls take note, 1 credit card can only swipe 2x at same brand petrol station per day.
if u need to pump 3 times or more within a day, go to 2 different brand petrol station ~

3. bank do advise seller (like computer shop) to verify card owner (show ic).
while internet transaction and petrol station no need to verify and signature, that why bank focusing more on this.

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
