Just something to share, stand chart CC took me 6 mths to receive to my hand.

1) I tell them must send to my current place but was insisted to be send back hometown which is 300km away.
2) The system will cancel the card if not active in 1 wk if not wrong.
3) Instructions given that will come and collect the card at branch was not follow, so need rerequest.
4) The CC card must be receive personally by the card requester.
5) The customer service and staff r very lansi, because they oversea bank.
6) Government service tax was waive and a lot of funny excuses
7) ATM machine claims to run 24 hours not working

So, what so good about stand chart card....

11 000 points for GST, there many other banks is much lower than tat...

R u going to spend yearly 11k? Logical?

This is the real experience above....maybe u guys here are to good so will not experience the above....

It all depends on your spending pattern...
You only need 10,000 Choice Points to get the RM50 credit card tax waived. Standard Chartered is giving you 1,000 extra yet you are scolding them. I personally think Standard Chartered is very generous. Try to ask other banks such as CIMB Bank, Citibank, HSBC or Maybank if they are going to offer you the same thing.
And how is this a surprise ? Everything is so expensive nowadays  biggrin.gif

Not really, CIMB Direct Access is 10k also but the can claim at 5k point = RM25, 2.5K point get RM12.50

HLB if not wrong is less than 10k points, around 8k or 9k if i not remember wrong....

All CIMB Bank does is to give you a more flexible choice by redeeming the GST in full or just partial of it. But seriously, the point value is still EXACTLY the same. And CIMB Bank won't be so generous to offer you free points to offset the credit card tax. At CIMB, you actually need to spend RMxxxx yourself before you'll have any points to redeem the credit card tax. However, you don't need to do the same with Standard Chartered credit card because they are so generous that they give you free points which you can use to redeem the credit card tax without having to fork out your own hard earned points or money.
Well, you are wrong. You also need 10k points to redeem the RM50 credit card tax at Hong Leong Bank. HSBC is the lowest actually for just 9,500 points.

thanks for your information....
Anyway canceling CIMB this yr b4 GST no more points d, just redeem the balance then bye bye CIMB rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Not saying Standard Chartered is good. Just that they are generous with all the free points they give to their credit card holders to redeem the credit card service tax.
OCBC Titianium MasterCard is way better. And then there is this Maybankard 2 cards. There are dedicated threads for these two products. Do check it out.

thanks, bro but never met the agent....

Maybank walk in is it?

Just asking, wat do u think of HLB Fortune?

It gives 1% cashback and if the cashback not withdraw, then they give interest based on 3 months FD interest (current interest 3.9%)...

So far spend d, now waiting for 2nd statement to c the interest....

Besides the CSR sucks in follow up things just need to push a bit, others ok la....

HLB Fortune is even worse than HLB Essential. You can refer to bro gen-x blog if u want to know why. Seriously, study carefully, not follow everything what they said in their website. HLB is really very good in making tricks

Hmm, my fren recommended.Looks he got fool by ads also.Cost never c the comparison, nvm.

I ll maintain spending if possible for 1K, then slowly divert to UOB la....

Only use for 2 mths....actually like to use the BT, convenient...

cash on call -  HLB, citibank, RHB, MBB, alliance. Spending of 1k, better get OCBC TMC and MBB 2 cards

Insurance, phone bills,petrol and etc easily 1K....

I know HLB and Citi really cash on call however RHB still need to fax back form so is not cash on call. Others did not try...

If have I would not have cancel my Tesco RHB yesterday....

After cancel, the rest of the cards 1st then go for MBB lo. HSBC on the way, AM bank waiting to get the GST back, CIMB kumpul a point bout maybe another 1500 till April 2012...

HLB will cancel if good cash on call la. I tried CitiBank, I still prefer HLB cash on call and the last CSR does a good job ....

Added on August 12, 2011, 4:10 pmRHB call and waive GST and annual fee and ask me the RHB Tesco for 1 more 1 yr....

@gerrardling
RHB do not have cash on call. It is call easy cash, interest 8% per yr 1 time charge.

Still expensive than HLB is 0.5% per month for 6 mths and reducing balance...
Normally, before the due, I already settle left less than RM 10....

Got lower than tat tell me.....

SCB just loves to give FREE Cash to its members...  icon_rolleyes.gif  rclxms.gif

ya but my case is last time got the promotion tat giv RM 100 after activation.

However, when I ask for GST waiver, then CSR told me tat already given the RM 100 as waiver for 2 yrs..... doh.gif doh.gif

So, is it really free cash? But now, maybe is more competitive so I guess like my case will not happen....

As a result, I cancel my CC...
