It's 4x lower than SCB's offer... nevertheless, it's free to take.
I will take and STILL cancel the card later.

then i should try cancel my DA card see whether they got offer me points or not...

5k points only, not 10k?
gold or platinum card?

Mine's a Platinum card....
Their SOP is give 5000 Bonus Points or proceed to cancel.
I wonder I will get another 5k when cancel in the next few months.

I too am planning to cancel my trusty DA card. Served me well but the benefits are too few and no longer competitive.

CIMB Smart Rewards Fiesta 2012, this coming weekend at Mid Valley

OCT 12 - OCT 14

want to ask: the installment plan for cimb cc still available?

fast forward 2 weeks+ and this morning CIMB called me, they will rebate RM50 and reactive the card for me...

sorry guys, i didn't ask about BT, but i believe shouldn't be a problem based on the conversation.

My "cancellation" 5000 Bonus Points has been creditted into my account.... planning to spend it at MPH via CIMB Pay With Points.

This way I will not incur more Bonus Points....since plan to cancel it

I've just redeemed my 5000 bonus points from my CIMB WMC last week, for RM25 cash back. I was quite pleasantly surprised at the efficiency as I did the redemption online and the RM25 was already credited the next morning. My Citi PremierMiles redemption took 2 working days.

Which URL to redeem online ?
Do we have to spend first before redeem or can redeem as a credit ?

Just select Up to 5,000 Bonus Points category and leave the rest blank. I believe you need to have the Bonus Points in your account before you can redeem.

thanks... no wonder I can't see the item CB

I have a CIMB Gold Petronas Card since 4 years back.

With the OCBC and MBB Amex card, I no longer need this card - except to buy duty free stuff at Airport.

Also, there is no reward point for this card.

Do you think I still keep this cc for the duty free. Or just cancel it now, and wait for better CC offer in future?

You are welcome
By the way, RM25 for 5,000 points is the best rate for cash back redemption, though we can earn points faster with other cards.

Standard 0.5% cashback rate.... much better than SCB for sure.

Yea.. My Amex's rate is also 10,000 for RM50, but I earn twice as fast at 2 points for each RM1 spent.
By the way, did SCB change their cashback redemption rate? It used to be 14,000 points for RM50, but I think it's now 40,000 for RM100? That's not competitive at all, at 10,000 for RM25! Anyway, I'm sticking with my SCB VI for its unlimited worldwide airport lounge access benefit

Yes, they just revised the cashback redemption rate about 1-2 months ago, just for RM100 now and that requires 40,000. Your worldwide airport lounge access gives you much better 'return'

Yea, true.. The bonus points are just for consolation

Any difference between visa infinite, world master card and visa signature? I know visa signature is a tier lower than the other 2 but the benefit seems similar. 1x points for local spending n x2 for oversea spending. plus they ranked all 3 cards as premier for promotion wise. Is there any significant differences among all 3 cards? thx
