I just called CS to reduce my CL to RMX8, however according to her, the Statement will still reflect my current CL even though it has been reduced. This is because should I want back my original CL, it will be reinstated.

Interested to know what is yours reasons to reduce CL of your CC ? For security reasons ? Please share.

They are 2 types of CL reduction, namely permanent or temporary reduction. I opted for permanent reduction, as I do not like to see a high limit shown in the BNM credit report, for a card that I do not get any benefits at all after my spending has hit the maximum RM50 cash back per month. The CL of my OCBC Titanium is only RM6,000 now.

What kind of disadvantage one would have by having high limit in BNM credit report ? Please share.

Apart from security reason,  another 2 main reasons are: 1) to reduce credit exposure and 2) the card does not give any further cash back or points if your spending has hit the maximum cash back of RM50 per month. For the worst case scenario, if you only swipe the card at merchants entitled to 1% cash back, the maximum spending per month entitled to cash back is RM5,000. What's the point of having a high CL for this card?
You will have a high credit exposure via "potential debt", thus effecting your chances to get a bank loan.

Thanks for sharing. I think CC that gives unlimited rewards points (Amex,HSBC etc) or 1% uncapped cash back(HLB essential) should maintain highest possible CL for big ticket item like 10% down payment for the new property launching, tuition fee, long distance air ticket for family, tour package for family, insurance premium, new car down payment etc etc.

for big item purchase, you may still use M2Amex which gives 5X TP (equivalent to approx 2.5% cashback).

If that merchant doesn't accept Amex, then only use Visa/MC lor... I have SCB Business Plat for this purpose.

So far all my big ticket purchases no chance to use Amex. sad.gif

Since no one posted this info yet:

The RM50 monthly maximum cash rebate cap is based on accumulation of changers within your billing cycle. Not calender month basis.

Because I wanted to try.
Everyone comes here to ask (do i enjoy 5% cashback if pay bills via PayOnline), but in fact no one can answer. I saw this question many times already. So I decided to try.

OK, now I knew paying utility bills via PayOnline is entitled to 5% cashback by Ocbc Ti, then got a lot of ppl come and ask me 'why not use ocbc online? Why take d risk losing 5% cashback'.

Why sharing info voluntary in the forum need to harbor such sacarstic feelings ? doh.gif

to keep their mouth shut.
when there is no answer, they keep asking and asking.
when there is finally an answer, they ask why did u do that.
Who is the freak by the way?

Well, the fact is, I didn't ask you what's the rebate paying via Payonline and nobody in this forum say why u take d risk losing 5% cashback using PayOnline. You added it yourself. All I asked was "Why use UOB payment portal instead of OCBC online to pay ?" and it was asked out of curiosity why you used a 3rd party bank's payment portal instead of OCBC, without the question of rebates whatsoever. Perhaps your ego is too high and sensitive that a simple genuine question like that can easily disturb your emotion and perception.

As for the "to keep their mouth shut." So, this is your forum ? other people should shut their mouth and only you can talk ? How overbearing and arrogant. doh.gif

If you are so willingly to test the portal and share the findings voluntarily, then share it whole heartedly, don't write sarcastic remarks before sharing it.

I still wonder which words from my question stepped on your super sensitive toes hmm.gif

normal lah, many people come here to ask when they can easily find the answers to their questions themselves. Must be something to do with our Education system where the students over rely on guidance and not taught to take initiative.

So, we are lucky to have a person like you who takes the trouble and initiative to find the answers for them  tongue.gif 

aeiou228, i don't think chem meant want he posted with the choice of words used by him, I read "to keep their mouth shut" as "to assist in answering questions raised by others"
*
Is not about the keep the mouth shut thingy, it all started off with my question addressed to Chem "Why use UOB payment portal instead of OCBC online to pay ?" The question was specifically addressed to him and can only be answered by him. I asked in a genuine curiosity tone but I can't put the tone in writing. Unfortunately Chem took it differently.

Sorry for off topic. I've made myself clear and I rest my case.

Few years ago, due to late payment after the statement due date, I accidentally discovered that Citibank had a secret unpublicized 7 days grace period AFTER THE STATEMENT DUE DATE without charging any late payment penalty and overdue interest.
Apparently, OCBC also have the some grace period for late payment after statement due date. Again, I omitted my OCBC Titanium December statement due date on 1 Jan 2012 and only paid on 5 Jan 2012. When received my latest statement yesterday, No penalty and No overdue interest charge. thumbup.gif rclxms.gif However, I'm not sure the grace period is the same like citibank 7 days though.
