The minimum income requirement for theci is RM36,000 per annum.

Just Ignore them... I got Calls from HSBC almost Every Month which offer me Balance Tranfer, Personal Loan, Cash on Call etc...

Click here to read my review of the HSBC Amanah MPower Platinum Card

I would say the HSBC Amanah MPower with 0.5% cash back for general transaction is better compared to your Gold or my Visa Signature which earn reward points.

If you want cash back cards, click here to my Cash Back Card Page to see list of cards offering meaningful cash back for transactions. Check out my article on MACH by Hong Leong Bank where I have a prepared a comparison table.

just called to cancel as my more than 20 times attempts to get the CS have been futile.  LOL

The minimum income requirement for the Citibank Cash Back Platinum is RM40k per annum, not RM48k per annum.

Hi all, I need some advice...
Last year Dec. I've been persuade to apply for HSBC AMANAH Platinum Visa CC, & I've agree to apply this CC.
In 29/12/12 I received my CC and activate in the same day. My 1st swipe for the CC was on 31/12/12.
Just in last week, I received a bill statement from HSBC & they charge me for RM50 gov. tax for yr 2012, I'm so shock to see this charges.
By just owning the CC for 3 days I needed to pay the gov. tax it really feels like kena CON by the sales agent.

Question: Can I call up HSBC to ask them remove the gov. tax since I only used it 3 days?

Hi mates,

I have some problems with HSBC credit card.

In December 2012, I contact CS to cancel HSBC credit card via telephone.

Subsequently in January 2013, i found that they charge GST for my card (looking via internet). I contacted CS again and questioned them why they still charged GST as the card had been cancelled in Dec 2012. The CS replied that because the Cancellation Dept still hasn't called me and so the cancellation haven't be finalized. So, she said that allow 10 working days to process.

After 10 working days, no call from the Cancellation Dept and when I checked through the internet, the RM50 GST is still there. I called again, another CS said that the card had been blocked and the GST is still in the process to zerolise(no need to pay). She said I need to wait for the call.

Till now, I still haven't received any call from HSBC to confirm the cancellation despite the numerous calls to HSBC. My question is if the confirmation call still haven't received from HSBC, is it mean that the card never be formally cancelled. (I had tried to use the card after my cancellation call and it proved that it had been blocked by HSBC in Dec 2012). But if the card had been cancelled, why they still charge GST for my card after cancellation...

Anyone experience this? What can I do if I still haven't received any call from HSBc???

Please advise and thank in advance!

After the incident, I did walk to the local branch to talk about this. She said she can't do anything now and need to wait for the cancellation call from the HQ

The local branch officer said there are 2 types of cancellation:-
1). By using telephone. This method is very mafan, you need to wait for the cancellation call from the HQ or you need to call back to check whether the card has been formally cancelled or not.

2). Direct walk to the local branch and fill in the cancellation form, cut the card by the officer and sign. Get the photocopy cancellation form if possible to prove if later on require to do so.

The officer told me that she needs to cut the card by herself and obviously u can't keep the card if u cancel the cards by going to the local branches.

introduced in singapore on november last year..
hopefully it will soon be in malaysia..will it?
yeah the card looks ugly with no colour at all but i want it..lol

Just go to the nearest HSBC bank to settle or just get a friend to help you. Or IBG but waste IBG fees

Just bring your card and pump petrol till RM9.81, next month go bank and pay up RM10...than cancel...simple

I just cancelled my Gold Visa..Go to branch and cut it up. Just in time before Govt tax due. Yeah!
