Me too. Reached 6 months mark now and requested for cancelation. Will apply for 2nd wave cuz now the bank gives 300 cashback when apply though online.

Where do you apply this?
- When the 2nd wave begin?

The bank is still giving 15% cashback to new Business Gold/Platinum Visa cardholders until DEC2013. While I just canceled mine which applied and activated last November. Currently looking for the RM300 cash back when apply their new card over the web. am wonder that whether I am entitle for it

Guys,

I usually pump at Petronas using Mesra + CIMB Petronas card. However, I noticed that during 3 to 4pm, the credit card's electronic verification system is always offline, thus I'm unable to swipe my credit card to earn the rebate.

Anyone encounter similar situation?

On Monday I lost my Smiles card. Then, I called the CS. They said no replacement card can be issued and they blocked the card. They asked me to go to the nearest Petron/Esso/Mobile petrol station and applied for the new card. Also filled up for the point transfer form.

Filled two forms and faxed to them the next. Point transferred within 3 to 6 working days. Today, points are reflected in the new card. Very fast TAT!

Hi, I need some confirmation from you all. I just got my credit card last Thursday, when i pump petrol at station, total amount was only Rm65, but when I received msg from CIMB, total rm200 was charged on my card. When I called the Credit Card call centre, i was told it is normal if pump outside instead of going to counter? Tht means everytime i pump petrol outside, I'll be charged Rm200 instead of original amount? Then end of the month only I can get my right figure on petrol? Anyone facing this problem before?

The RM 200 is the pre-authorization amount. It'll be reversed once the transaction is being cleared (posted to your online statement).

This applies to all petrol brands and all credit and/or debit cards in Malaysia.

That means is all standard? once you pump without over the counter, it will automatically charged RM200 per transaction
5times means RM1000 already? Then end of the month, the balance will show the exactly amount how much we already pumped?
If like this the customer wont feel confuse?
Sorry quite new on this
I appreciate so much for your help here !

Yes it's SOP.

As I said earlier, once the transaction is being cleared (posted to your online statement), the RM 200 will be offset back or reverted.

Whatever amount you paid in the bill is whatever amount your pumped. This RM 200 pre-authorization transaction won't appear in the statement but it'll take up your credit limit.

Thanks for your info

i don't see any info on the 15% cashback, only the cashback promo. where have you seen in that it says till dec 2013 ?

I lost my smiles card too, went to petrol station and filled up the points transfer form. Until now my points not transferred yet. It has already been around 1-2 months

I often use MBB amex plat weekend 5X points
but nowadays, due to the jam cannot wait until weekend.
fuel finished before weekend.

any other cards that offer better benefit than MBB amex?
to use weekdays?

OCBC Titanium

thanks for recommending,
reading their T&C now

If you submitted the transfer form at the petrol station, you have to wait longer since the petrol station will usually collect till certain period or quantity and bulkly send to the Smiles customer service centre.

If you fax to them, it'll be whole lot faster.

You may call the CS to check if they have received your transfer form.

found out my citibank plat visa cannot swipe more than 2 times at petrol station in a day. call CS they say it is normal to protect customer.

so i ask them back, i drive from south to north cannot refill more than 2 times petrol la...
CS say nothing can be done, bank policy.
guess need more cards if driving alot.

is this normal or just me?

So weird. Shell Citibank can swipe 3 times in a day also no problem.

maybe they allow yours due to "shell" card...

i dunno,
need someone with citibank plat visa/master to try and see.

Same station or different station?
