GenX, all of the CIMB cards enjoy 0% interest installment for education and hospital? Gone thru your website but couldn't find these benefits in your article.
I thought of applying one CIMB cc for the BT purpose. All CIMB cc have 0% BT?

Thank you very much for the info.

Is it true that you can get fast issuance of CIMB cc at the Card Centre at Menara Southern Bank, Plaza Damansara , Bukit Damansara? Anybody has tried?

Just found out from CIMB cc centre at Sunway Pyramid (tel:56316979) that they can issue cc within 1 hour.

Make sure you go there in the morning if you want the card on the same day.

Apart from the new CIMB Cash Rebate Platinum MasterCard, are there any other cards that offer better or similar 5% cash rebate for Ecommerce spend (like at Groupon, Airasia, Agoda)?
I think this card is good for E-commerce only and specific merchants. Considering getting one for airlines and groupon.

Thanks I was going thru each CC thread to look for one good for e-commerce spend. Indeed HLB Wise card is a good choice that I am considering but must choose two categories wisely so that it does not overlap other cards.
Also worried to spread my spending over to too many cards and end up no bargaining power to ask for fee waiver upon card expiry.
CIMB CB platinum would be good just for e-commerce, groupon and airlines(<31/12/2013)

Good alternative. Thanks

For the new promo "weekly rm250 cashback".
CIMB cashback Plat MasterCard is one of cards allowed to participate but since all transaction using this card will earn CB, this following condition will exclude ALL transactions:

(ii) transaction that earn double bonus points or cash rebate.

Anybody can confirm this?

Similar to CITI 30% CB, only that the first 280 will qualify but with a higher hurdle of RM1000.

And one of the T&C will exclude many transactions from qualifying:

(ii) transaction that earn double bonus points or cash rebate.

Well this is an ideal plan. But one of the T&C will exclude many transactions from qualifying:

(ii) transaction that earn double bonus points or cash rebate.

I think they only accept sms from maxis, digi and celcom

Which rm250 CB? The 50% 1st Transaction or the 'Dash for Cash' RM250 CB? And which CIMB card?

The killer is this condition:

Retail spending shall mean purchase transactions for goods and services incurred for
personal consumption and not for business purposes and shall not include betting or
gaming transactions. For the avoidance of doubt the following transactions are also
herein expressly excluded and shall not be treated as eligible retail transactions or
retail spending:-

(ii) Transactions that earn double bonus points or cash rebate;
(iii) Quasi Cash transactions – (example: betting and/or gaming transactions);
(vii) Transactions for payments made towards insurance premiums and/or
takaful contributions of any kind whatsoever; and

I think most cards give cash rebate so most transactions will be disqualified.

Was it mentioned in T&C that First-come-first-serve based on date&time and not just date? Based on transaction date or posted date?

Ron, maybe since it has so many restrictions that deter people from participating, it would be easy to get the CB.

For this case it is worth trying, so best of luck but u should have tried it next Monday that is if u can wait.
So which CIMB CC did u use ?

But this condition below will disqualify this type of transaction since it already enjoy CB.

Retail spending shall mean purchase transactions for goods and services incurred for
personal consumption and not for business purposes and shall not include betting or
gaming transactions. For the avoidance of doubt the following transactions are also
herein expressly excluded and shall not be treated as eligible retail transactions or
retail spending:-

(ii) Transactions that earn double bonus points or cash rebate;

So the CS said this transaction qualifies for the rm250 CB?

But your card already earns a 0.5% CB for this transaction and should not qualify if base on this condition:

Retail spending shall mean purchase transactions for goods and services incurred for
personal consumption and not for business purposes and shall not include betting or
gaming transactions. For the avoidance of doubt the following transactions are also
herein expressly excluded and shall not be treated as eligible retail transactions or
retail spending:-

(ii) Transactions that earn double bonus points or cash rebate;

But then again no venture no gain.

I am not sure but that was my interpretation of the T&C. It is also this condition that is holding me back from participating eventhough my hands are really 'itchy.
Unless I have a rm1000 transaction that doesn't earn more than 1% CB then I might give it a try.

Not many CIMB cards (if any) do not have CB features or Double Bonus.

The best answer would come from the Call Centre in email reply (B&W).
My answers (to be verified):
1. Yes
2. 1st transaction
3. No CB from 'Dash for Cash Promo' (refer to my prev. post.)
