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

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 tongue.gif

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 hmm.gif)
@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 whistling.gif) 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).

Arguing with him served no purpose as he (and the other 2 CSs) kept on invoking their rights under the clz which provides the bank wide and unlimited discretion.

Wrote a letter to BNM and financial bureau.  Matter got sorted.  The AVP called and converted it.  The AVP admitted that the bank's fault.  I got a free gift in return.

Am happy, used RM35k for installment.  applying the FD rate, 35*3%: RM1050 saving per year.  Also the bonus point available...
Wil use for all my remaining insurance next year.

pls OCBC Tit card and MBB Dup (which i wil get soon) per year, the return on CC alone is RM2250 (RM1050+RM600*2)  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

I'm going to do the same for my iPad 2 purchase from Apple Online (for which I was charged extra) if they don't resolve it.

I had KFC meal for lunch today. Apparently 5% discount on the spot using CIMB credit card for payment!

You can also pay using card points but minimum spending above RM20.

Confirm the offer. Received 5% off on the spot at KFC Sg. Chua yesterday (5 July 2011) with my DA MasterCard.

News release dated 5 July 2011 from The Star Metro here.
