Guys,

I learned from my friend who works for Malayan Racing Association that Citibank will not process his credit card application because of the "nature of business" that he entered in his application is "Horse Racing".  The Citibank employee told him that it's the bank's policy to not to proceed with application for such business nature
Funny thing (IMHO) is my friend don't gamble or bet at all on horse racing or any gambling thingy but he only happened to work there 

Anyway, I suggested to him to not to put "Horse Racing" as nature of business but enter what he actually does e.g. Trainer of Horse or Horse Trainer or Horse Rider or Jockey since his job is to train horses and also ride horses (to ready for the race).
Then I told him to put "skilled professional worker" or just "skilled worker". 

Am I right suggesting the above? Any ideas or suggestions to help him?

Interesting post. Nature of Business - Gambling, hahaha. But seriously, I don't understand what is the problem as long as he pays income tax. Just state nature of business as Equestrian.

is debit card included in CCRIS report or not ? or maybe it is in other BNM report ?

i applied Standard charted twice n all rejected as they like to call fix line, call how 1st time ,ofcourse nobody's home n reapplied n put my co.  phone but so happen not in office/desk. terrible la, why cant they call hp to verify .

Anyone experience non-acceptance of CIMB credit card payment in KFC outlet? It's either the KFC outlet does not accept credit card or the payment terminal is spoilt. Is there anyway we still able to get the 10% off like the cashier manually input the discount? Can we complaint to CIMB customer service? What is the purpose of the 10% off promotion for KFC if most of the outlets do not accept card!!!

I have filed a report at that link previously for Pizza Hut maybankard promo and I received a call from a state manager the next day. Efficient I'd say.

Many times.
I never complained to CIMB about it, only to KFC.
Previously KFC 'layan' my complain, gave the usual 'sorry blablabla we will look into it' but they ignored my latest complain.
You can report your case here:

Perhaps when more people complain they would seriously do something about it.

Next time it happens I'm just gonna call or fax their main office.

I state only mobile number in all my application. Why give house & office number at the first place??? So far no problem!!! 

We should complain to both KFC and CIMB. It is because of the promotion in CIMB website I go to KFC, but at KFC I cannot use my CIMB card. Then why is CIMB promoting KFC when it does not benefit CIMB Customers?

It is really a bad news. This card is no longer attractive. Perhaps it's time for SCB Business Visa Platinum cardholders to cancel this card.

Now I am worried, SCB may do the same to SCB JustOne Titanium MC soon. The problem is that SCB JustOne Titanium had been removed from SCB website long ago. Customers have no idea on whether the T&Cs have been changed or not.

well if u apply thru online, there's asterisk marks as a must to fill up, no choice

I totally agree on this. This problem has been going on for too long. Even the managers over @ the KFC outlets are in cahoots over this problem. They don't seem to care. I see this as false advertising and misleading the consumers.

CIMB are not in fault but they should be strict as well with the merchant because ultimately it is affecting their brands as well.
