1. You can always go settle your installment plan (partially or in full) and free up your available credit limit.
2. BSN and CIMB card any good? I guess you can answer yourself - for emergency cases, does it make any difference to you? Come to think of it, for emergency case, maybe better to get a non-Islamic card to ensure that your card will be accepted for any type of transactions anywhere on earth.
To All Newbies:

observe the above scenario, which is very common among us credit card users (including me) -

1. We all initially choose a card that can benefit us. In above example, the OCBC TMC was chosen because it offers 5% cash back for our expenses required for our daily survival, i.e. Petrol Dining, Groceries, Utilties Bills and Telco Bills.
2. But with free easy credit, we go buy stuff (that is not required for our daily survival) we otherwise would not with cash (as we will think twice before we go burn RM8K cash we are holding in our hands, example above massage chair).
3. 0% Installment Plan is not FREE money but a debt you need to repay.

Conclusion - most people with credit cards will end up spending more that those using cash to pay for stuff.

Once again, if you do not have savings and the cash to pay for stuff, DO NOT sign up for a credit card. And for those of you wanting to sign up for installment plan - click here and read my article 0% Installment Plan with Credit Card - It IS A Trap.

Hi..Thanks for the sharing...i will stick to the OCBC and free up some available credit limit in the credit card..smile.gif

If your main concern is free AF, you may try CIMB credit card.
No use to get another Mbb2 combo, as the monthly cashback limit will be shared.

seldom card have free fee. there is always a min transaction needed for auto waiver. that is a more reasonable thing to look for. MACH card can request for VISA. You need to have 12 swipes or RM8K spending a year for auto fee waiver.

Loan cannot be paid by another loan. So all house loan, study loan and car loan cannot be paid with CC

Your annual income is just slighly below the requirement for OCBC ti, but I would recommend you to try for it. Take note that OCBC is very strict with its policy thus there are many reject cases even for those that meet the income requirement. This card gives you 5% cashback for all the catogeries that you mentioned ie petrol, bill, restaurant and groceries, capped at RM50 monthly.

Alternatively, you can try maybank 2 cards, amex card gives you 5% cashback (cap RM50 monthly) for all transactions during weekends + 5x points everyday. limitation is, amex many not be widely accepted compared to visa/mastercard.

To add on Human Nature's reply, you do your groceries shopping at Jusco, Giant and Tesco; all these 3 places accept AmEx. smile.gif

So, another advantage for you if you apply Maybankard2Card.
