I just got my UOB ONE card & called their CS today. According to that lady, I need to swipes 3 transaction within 60 days & I am entitle to waive the GST. And for the annual fees, the first 2 years annual fees is waived automatically without any condition attached. =D

That's true...

For the first 2 years don't need to worry... but after 2 years, we won't know the new ruling.

Mine is classic, but I think same rule apply to platinum la.

i can double confirm on this. called CS just now, need to swipe at least 3 times within 60 days, RM50 will be credited to account within 6-8 weeks

Ya, I wonder if I can pick on this Rm50 govt charge with BNM since I also have to pay Rm50 charge for the new card as well once I have cancelled the old card 

I really don't understand whats with the Rm50 govt svc charge per card - don't they ever consider the consumer's rights pertaining to being issued the wrong card and its not even their fault?

Bro,

I have evidence la - the original application form is with me as i faxed the forms to the uob card center in kl.  When i got the wrongly issued credit card, i called UOB KL CS about it. The CS said the lady's card has more benefits than One Classic card. After I examined the lady's card benefits and find that the benefits are more beneficial to those living in KL than other states in malaysia and I am not even living in KL. I told the KL CS I insist on having the correct card.

The KL CS then said will ask the manager on this issue which was then given the green light by the manager to change the lady's card to one classic. They also called me to ask me to go to the local branch in my area to change, along with a letter of request from me to the branch. The JB CS listen to our story and instead, didnt even change the card on the spot even i told them the UOB KL inform me to do so - this is what i call throw the buck to another party and it goes back to same party in the end.

To cut it short, there was supposed to be no charge and it would be waived as informed by the JB CS in person back then as mentioned in my previous post. Because I called them to enquire about my card issue after waiting two weeks from my visit to the JB Branch, it turns out I have to pay the RM50 charge for the wrongly issued card through no fault of mine. So can you imagine i am really unhappy being given the goose chase to find out this is the result? That is why i want to complain about the stupid govt svc tax ruling and take it up with BNM but i am also concerned that would it create new problems for me based on my issue with either bank or BNM?

Yes i am a lady. You have asked me whether I have evidence and this is my response on the bank's CS handling of the matter that has led to this result. That is why i am asking if i can take it up with BNM or not and whether it will create new problems for me with either bank or BMM because it is my first time appying for a cc in malaysia

I'm trying to see where I can make an official complain to BNM now. 

True, mine was a clear cut mistake on their side since both cards in my case have the same annual income requirement.

I'm wondering whether CS will follow up on bank decision to issue another card, with the customer? I mean it would be less troublesome and easier for customers to accept other cards if not their preferred card?

i got the card somewhere in August this year. so it was charged in August. I was wondering whether would they charge it at August next year?..or somewhere early next year?.

Actually, this is my 2nd card. The sales person told me that they wont charge me anything if I did not activate the card. That why I felt cheated and emotional when received the bill statement.

I think can lo... they said end on 30 June 2013...

I think should be based on your application date, not approved date

Remember when I applies for CitiB, the SA told me is based on application date

no idea with others bank
