I a bit blur here, you are not the first one to mention that you be upgraded to Plat. But there is no more HSBC Plat cards. Did you ask if you getting the Amanah card?

Yah, several people mentioned in the previous post. Would appreciate if any of you guys can post a picture of the Plat card when you receive it. And remember to photoshop it first, i.e. remove card numbers and name and expiry date.

If you got other cards, it doesn't really matter. But if say you only have a single amanah card, and you go clubbing and when the bill comes the card is rejected, how?

you don't get my point. Better you get another card as standby.

you better check with them the terms and conditions on payment hierarchy before doing BT.

1.5% = 18% p.a, that's even higher than the standard 17.5%

However, like I said, you better ask if there is any payment hierarchy and understand what it means if you got outstanding balance.

get Maybankard 2 Card and earn 5X TP

By the way, those of you who got the upgraded to Plat, is the card design like the previous Plat or new design and does it has the Amanah word?

OT since this is HSBC card Topic but I thought I let you know that you don't have to "change" your Petronas to MBB2 because you can have as many MBB cards as you wish at any one time. So go get the MBB 2 and start earning 5XTP and 5% cash back on weekends. Also, you Petronas TP can be transferred to the MBB 2 CArds account should you wish to terminate it.

Do note for OCBC TMC you need to spend RM10K to get GST waived. If for petrol alone, please fo read http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1973206/+640#entry44596845 post #643

And thanks for the feedback on no "Amanah", someone else also feedback to me on the same in my blog.

This month I did not receive my HSBC statement and by the time I realized it, my payment due date have past. So called up HSBC to check if I got any payment due and the answer is yes. So made payment last week and today called up HSBC to request for Late Penalty Charges and Interest Charges and the CS said he'll do it for just this once.

Having too many cards also headache

Thanks for the suggestions. Is just that my HSBC statement did not reach my house by post early this month and was to preoccupied with my new hobby

How they got your contact number?

you don't know does not mean there aren't gold cards with CL over RM100K CL. click here to see RHB CL at my post titled Malaysia Annual Income Requirement and Credit Limit. Gold Card CL go up up to RM500K!

Call customer service and explain to them your situation.

HSBC Platinum is not a cash back card. If you prefer Cash back card, then yes you should change to HSBC MPower Platinum where it does offer csah back of 3%-6% for Petrol and Groceries at selected merchants. Click here to read my article on HSBC Mpower Platinum and see if the card is good for you and the places you can get more cash back for petrol and groceries.

did the CS tell you "just this once"? For my case they did.

wah, this is the second lowest record for Platinum Card reported at LYN. Record still hold by tgeoklin where his previous UOB Plat CL is RM1K.

The card is exactly the same my previous HSBC Plat card. I guess HSBC got too much in stock and to save cost did not come out with new design, hahaha

True. But who would have thought that a Platinum Card has only RM1K CL or RM3K. HSBC has been up grading all Gold cards to Plat cards and I guess that's why now have RM3K CL for HSBC Plat Card. Previous HSBC Plat card would have no less than RM20K CL.

Plat is the new gold.

Last month I mentioned that I did not receive my previous statement and forgot to make payment. The late penalty and interest charges were subsequently waived after I requested for it. Today realised again my payment is due but did not receive the Statement again. Then I suspect maybe is it because I registered for an online account and therefore no more paper statements will be issued. Just call CS and was told that YES, because I signed up for online account, no paper statements will be issued anymore a month after the online account is activated. How come I did not read this when I sign up for the online account Now have to really remember to check online statement every month Luckily this month no payment due but got credit since I overpaid last month and got the penalty and interest charges waived.

yah, agree with you.

Two month before we want to cancel the card, we should stop using it. Once settle in full, call CS and cancel before anniversary. Comes anniversary, no issue on GST as card already cancelled.
