I got mine linked under a single login username just a few hours ago without having me to say "my friend can get it done at Jalan Duta branch woh"


Agreed. Of all the credit cards i currently hold, the Maybank's ones have the lowest limit.


That's true. Maybank hasn't charged the GST to my account either.


No


No. Savings Account statement is not necessary actually. When my mom applied for her cards last time, she never attached any of her banks statements.

+1

I am not a fan of Maybank either but you've got to admit, their Maybankard 2 AMEX really is something

This is a special exception for the recently launched Maybankard 2. For all other card types, they are still quite slow.


I never faced such problem so far and i had make more than 20 calls to Maybank since i received my Maybankard 2 cards before CNY.


But 5 figure is not really a lot of money these days ... i blame this on inflation, our weak MYR and poor wages in Malaysia


Just like Discover and Diners Club, AMEX is not widely accepted in US too but you will definitely won't go wrong with VISA and MasterCard.


Yes. Everything is provided and the shower room resembles that of a 5-star hotel which is no surprise really as most users are those flying Business Class or First Class.


Affirmative. My plane tickets purchase last month via www.malaysiaairlines.com got me the 5% weekend cash back too


Do update us with the actual rates

Combined or shared ? No real difference when it comes to credit card terms right ? Anyway, Chemistry has given you the answer.

Citibank does offer a range of savings account and all are linked to the debit card. They do not offer any standalone debit card.

I don't quite get this. Did you know that you do not have to have a savings or current account with a bank in order to own their credit card ? I do not have any savings/current account with Maybank but i do have their credit cards.

Please refer to this table below :


**Please note that not all banks are supported for instant transfer


I am too cheapskate to pay for the RM2 IBG fee but luckily, my HSBC account gives me unlimited free IBG. So i always make the IBG out from HSBC online. And in case the amount is big, i'll issue a cheque instead.


It's been revised to RM1.


Wawasan Sentosa's USD rate on 3/3/11 was USD1 = RM3.035

No. Should follow the transaction date


Unlimited free IBG is only for Premier and Advance accounts.

Asa Hye and Gen-X said, the interest given to HSBC accounts is very low. The other account that offers free IBG is AmBank Amstar Extreme. Interest is very high too especially for a current account.

Sure. As long as you are at least 21-year-old and have at least RM200k, then you will get a pre-approved credit card from certain banks. Alternatively, you can pledge your fixed deposit account to get a credit card. Say RM5k at least ... You won't be able to close the pledged fixed deposit account as long as your credit card is still active.


You mean your education is now paid by someone else is it ? I'm afraid this is impossible. If you have other passive income such as dividends from the shares you hold, rentals or interest earned from fixed deposits then yes. You can use these to apply for a credit card. Otherwise, it is a definite no.

Many banks do offer such service. Try to call their CS to find out.

Call their CS first. And then send in a cancellation form. Make sure you do a follow-up.


I did call Maybank CS when i received mine but some other people said no activation is required. Anyway, just look at the letter you received with the card. There should be instructions in there.

You forgot to include HSBC Premier World MasterCard in that table of yours.

Only very few banks offer free IBG, so it doesn't make RHB Bank subpar.

Is the credit line given 1:1 à la OCBC and Public Bank ?

Nevermind. Just apply for it and then cancel the card a few months later Anyway, i think the annual fee for all newly approved credit card is now waived for 2 years.

Updates !!!

Maybank
4 Mac 2011
- US$130.37 > RM399.37 (USD1 = RM3.0634)

**Wawasan Sentosa's USD rate on 4/3/2011 was US$1 = RM3.03
**Maybank's USD TT/OD selling rate on 4/3/2011 was US$ = 3.0650 whilst currency notes was sold at US$3.1230

Yeah. Free money. I'm tempted to apply too ... but OCBC Titanium MasterCard is still the number 1 priority in my list. So i think i'm going to try reapplying for the OCBC Titanium MasterCard first


Have to confirm if it is the the same like the last promotion where one can get RM188x2 if he/she applies for 2 Platinum credit cards.

Agents/employees of Standard Chartered must be cursing it badly because they are basically giving us the commission that is supposed to be the agent's/employee's
