I only go with foreign banks over phone enuf

me myself just cancelled my public bank cc. but 1st i called up CS on the procedure & was advised to go to any public bank branch.

1st, you need to double confirm wif counter staff if got any outstanding. if yes, pay in full.

2nd, i was asked to see the bank's CS. then, fill in a form, a photocopy of my IC was needed, & surrender my CC. they will cut the CC & attach the CC with the form to confirm the cancellation. and i was also given a photocopy of the cancellation CC form for my reference.

all done in 20 minutes.

DirectAccess principal and supp cards can be cancelled with immediate effect. Don't be bluffed by the CS saying "Please wait for XX days to process".

that mean cancellation for CIMB / DA cc can be done via phone call to their CS ?

Exactly. Via phone call to 03-62047979 (DA Platinum line).
Not sure CIMB cards follow or not...

TS, you left out 3 card issuers BSN, AEON & MBF..

Since there are no topic about this, then let me create the topic about ways to cancel your unwanted credit card. Let me start with citibank first. Do also report other methods for different bank

Before cancel your credit card
1. You must paid off the balance in full. (No outstanding balances)
2. Redeem  all your credit card reward/Bonus points.
3. Cancel all the auto debit

After cancel your credit card
1. Follow-up on the cancellation
2. Get a confirmation of the credit card Cancellation in writing from the banks.

why bother to cancel auto debit? let them debit it if they still can
not all banks are willing to give cc cancellation confirmation letter

I've cancelled my MBB petronas (need to cut the card into half and photostate), CIMB DA thru fax b4
as for hsbc and hlb, I forgot how i cancelled oledi, most likely thru fax as well

Just afraid if the bank would impose charges when they failed to auto-pay...IF only lar...

I had HSBC Classic and HLB Gold a few years ago.
Cancelled HSBC through phone call; cancelled HLB through HLB Online.
