Yah, like rockefeller informed us, there are like 60,000 CIMB WMC and VI holders which is not far behind MBB's 80,000 Plat card holders. Imagine how is CIMB going to provide premium service to 60,000 cardholders that do not need to pay a sen for their services.

Bro, anything that is FREE, don't expect the service to be excellent. But if you had applied for the VS instead of the Plat at their card centres, you would on the other hand be happy with their one day service.

I never been to CIMB centers to apply stuff, except my savings account i guess.

Tomorrow I will make a visit to there. Hopefully I get something better there than wasting my time talking on the phone.

I like its promo on Tai Thong Group of Restaurants.

Yah, sometimes do have good promotions at Tai Thong restaurants (not sure about the rest in the group) with CIMB cards. But if got no special promotion, use Tai Thong member card and still enjoy discount (10% to 15% or even 20% with Tai Thong Plat card) and earn 5X TP with MBB or AMEX or 10X MR with AMEX Plat

The member card needs $$ to apply 1 ?

Nope, it is FREE But which level of card you are entitled to qualify depends on your spending, the Plat card is not issued simply to anyone but based on your spending.

I see.
I am just a random customer. I don't see the need to keep an additional card just for discount at one place. When we have a member card, we tend to patronize more frequently and spend more.

I already had their complete Premier cc armada. Looks like CIMB do not value such customer & by the way I am not expecting excellent services but at least good service.

What is the most excellent service you have experienced? Look forward to your sharing. Wish to know how good is premier card service.

You mean CIMB? Only the BT service impressed me, they can do it in less than 5 working days.

Ironically I done my additional Plat application at the Sunway branch & they cannot even make it within 2 weeks.

Maybe yours not the Premier customer .... so need to use standard SLA

Maybe you should read on my earlier replies. I have the whole range of CIMB Premier cc on hand, in other words existing Premier customer.

No offence to you....
That shows the SLA works for New-To-Bank Premier CC applicants only...

Again I have to say, I have no problem getting my additional VI & VS on the same day of application before this. So it is not whether new customer or not, Premier or not, usage high or not, but lousy CIMB CS management & extreme red tapes in the cc approval department.

Just to add, the CS & manager on duty does not show any sense of urgency despite my 5 calls to CS in a period of 5 working days. Even in the end, the higher management did called up but still won't do anything to escalate the service level.

despite the 6months 0% BT gone, i'm surprised that the 9 months 0% for education, medical and insurance also not being extended... looking at their current promo, i dun see how it's going to attract new customer.
