Anyone has experience with the CIMB Pay With Points? Will the outlet still swipe our card when paying with points? and are we able to check/verify the points used on the spot? Thanks

Just received my CIMB Visa Signature today, had been waiting for 1 week plus. Anyways, thank you so much sir for these valuable informations.. you really helps me a lot with all ur information and i like your blog too!
Keep up d good work sir!

can apply by bringing my signature card from another bank? cimb has lots of 1 for 1 food promotions.

call the number I posted earlier for the CIMB Sunway Card Centre and they can tell you on the spot if you qualify for their VS or WMC based on your income or existing CC credit limit. And from there they will they you the application procedures.

I just wondering whether this CIMB signature (As well as other high end CIMB CCs) comes with the flexi Ipay plan 0% for insurance and medical bills as well as 0% BT

Yes, the promos you mentioned are applicable to all CIMB CC.

how much RM need to put in fd to get this card?

I redeem for Tefal Toaster on 11 April 2011, and it arrived on 13 April 2011... kudos for the prompt delivery.

You must be a big spender. I guess you would have to spend over 50K to get a Tefal toaster?

Tefal Toaster only 29,000 Bonus Points... collected points from the last 3 years.

Redeem before the expire eh...i am still sore that they take put the voucher redemption.

wow.
7,000 pts took me 2years++. Not much can be spent using DA cards.

CIMB cards only useful if we use it for their promotions, otherwise the reward points is only 1X AND now no more cash vouchers

Totally agree... getting vouchers is more bang-for-the-bucks in terms of cash value

DA used to be my primary CC, until OCBC Titanium and Maybankard2 came along (I should thank to PM's visionary GST)

Also for their wonderful 0% BT program...

Between CIMB (normal line), Maybank (Amex line) and SCB (platinum line), i prefer dealing with CIMB customer care consultant. They seemed to be more well trained and efficient, imo.

Actually, I find that with CIMB's Pay With Points which includes merchants such as KFC, DOME, MPH and 'Thai-Group-Restaurants', the loss of cash vouchers is no big deal. In fact, it is less of a hassle rather than having to wait for the vouchers to arrive.

I think most of us can agree that even if we don't normally take fast food, we do buy KFC for our loved ones at some point in time...should not be to difficult for most of the seniors here (except tinkerbel if she has a CIMB CC) carrying CIMB/DA cards to deplete the points in this manner considering that it takes so long to accumulate points and at the same time, most of us would have switched to other cards as our primary one. As Gen-X said, only use if got promotion-lah such as the current 5% Kinokuniya books discount which ends on the last weekend of April 2011 (weekend being Fri, Sat & Sun). Speaking of which, I think I should buy some reference books even though I do most of my reading from the computer - can get some income tax relief.

With MBBKard 2 in hand, I hardly use my DAMC anymore. Primary use of DAMC now is for BT and insurance premium (even for insurance, I think I'll be switching to Etiqa which accepts AMEX and time my purchases so that I can do a 0% 6 months BT). hahaha

Anyway, CIMB has got a new reason for their 'Hamper-type' promo - this time, it is for Charles Berkeley's wallets (this brand I seriously haven't heard of, and mind you, even after Googling )
@Gen-X, since you're now a man of leisure, this shall be your latest research assignment hahaha - I'm sure it will make for an entertaining read ) and Mendoza luggage (this brand I have heard of) (Be a Fashionista at Suria KLCC, with CIMB...they do seem to be ramping up their promotions recently. I managed to get the Christmas 2010 and CNY 2011 hampers :] The hamper value is actually not bad, you do get at minimum 5% equivalent cash back (too lazy to do a proper calculation though).

TS, if you still around, add WMC, VI, Platinum and Gold to sub-title of this thread and make this official CIMB CC Thread.

Hi, about the paying with points thing, will the outlet still swipe our card when paying with points? and are we able to check/verify the points used on the spot? Thanks

Added on April 17, 2011, 10:27 pmJust used this Pay With Points at Camel Active. Fyi, you can ask the outlet to check how many Bonus Points inside your card. And for payment, you need to swipe and the receipt which you have to sign will state the initial BP, used BP and the balanced BP.
