No lah ... I am rather fussy about my credit cards. I keep my expectations realistic and low, that's all.

The CIMB card promoter whom I spoke to got very careful just now because I am able to point out mistakes and features of the card product that the person is not even aware of. Promoter even tried to make comparison to other bank cc products as well (and make their own product look good) but I knew the cons of their own card product as well vs. other banks.

The promoter got so nervous  icon_question.gif

Can anybody recommend how to reduce my toll expense? I am a frequent user of Kerinchi Link / Sprint highway. Monthly usage between RM50 to RM80.
I tried touchngo website but the rebate's only for LDP users. Plusmiles also no good. Any other ways?
Also, can I reload touchngo using MBB2 Amex, or OCBC Titanium? Hope to get rebate from my reload too.

Thanks. But is there any loyalty card that I can use? Feel left out that LDP and PLUS users can get rebate but SPRINT users don't.

Ah..right..hope other klang valleys peeps can assist you icon_rolleyes.gif
You can get info about the TnG rebates using CC from there though.

Why enable a loophole for credit card fraud?
Sunday April 17, 2011

EVERY now and then, credit card fraud grabs the headlines in our local dailies. One can conclude that more often than not, it is an inside job.

Be it the postman, bank staff, national registration department staff, credit card accepting merchants’ staff and even bosses, professionalism and individual credibility have been compromised.

But who is to blame? The credit card issuing companies have provided an alternative route to fraud.

I have noted for some time now that when one shops online, one is assured of security when accessing “https:” sites, as claimed by IT experts.

When the credit card security number, or “CVC” number, is requested online, one is assured that it will not be compromised.

However, when one is performing a credit card transaction over the phone, the customer service staff will also insist on the CVC number being given, or the transaction cannot be completed.

When I checked with the banks, they replied that this had been agreed upon between banks and their respective merchants.

When I pointed out that this was like giving a blank cheque to the merchants, the bank’s staff repeated the “bank-merchant agreement” line.

To summarise, one is advised by banks not to divulge the CVC number freely to third parties but we are forced to give the CVC number to a customer service staff over the phone.

CREDIT CARD USER,
Subang Jaya.

Simply put, if you don't trust the merchant enough, don't give them your credit card details. This applies whether online or physical transaction.

Generally speaking, your odds are better with an online transaction (except for fraudulent sites) than physical. Fraud is more likely to occur especially when card is out of your sight.

I agree. Sometimes I wonder why they published the 3-digits code on the card itself, not on a separate paper card that can be kept inside the wallet separately..

Surprisingly I didn't even use up to RM1000 (actual usage RM400 only) to get the RM50 rebate last month and they still gave it to me full.

Statement month or calender month? The rebate follows the calender month..

Calendar month. You'll get the rebate by 1st or 2nd.

haha yes i know its calender month, i just thought maybe krazee350 get the full RM50 rebate due to his previous month spending not the statement month. Else, how is it possible?

On top of that,
If i got my credit card already, do i need to call in / do anything to start swiping online?
Dunno why it doesn't work when i swipe..
Hmm.
Certain cards require you to call to activate. Always refer to the letter accompanying the card when it is sent to you for further instructions.

KFC Aeon bandaraya, on the other hand, is commendable. There is a specific counter catering for credit card purchases. I paid-with-points using my cimbcard and the attending person knows what she is doing and even ask me to check the points to confirm.

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.

Thank you for your reply.. =)

Just swipe 1 time for anything except petrol and you get the cashback (minus RM50 GST). I cant recall about the period.
