1. Annual Income: min RM96000 (sole proprietor - 2years++)
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Must
3. Card required for: Petrol, shopping malls, groceries, insurance, utility bills - auto payment
4. Existing credit cards if any: MBB Petronas Gold (RM 10k limit), citibank gold (supp card) (RM19k limit)
5. Looking at CC from: anything
6. Others: prefer RM20k limit

plan to cancel both card and apply 1 card that can have RM20k.
please advice.
thanks

Go apply for the Maybankard 2 Platinum Cards and I believe MBB will increase your credit limit. You will benefit much more with the Maybankard 2 American Express even if they give you credit limit less than RM20K. Once the MBB 2 cards approved, you can transfer the Treats Points in your Petronas account to the new account.

You already stated main reason you want CIMB and MBB, so I guess you better be quick and go apply for the CIMB as the 0% BT ends this month. As for MBB, apply for the MBB Dua.

Seeking your advice regarding monthly payments.

Is there a free automated way to pay OCBC and Alliance cards? My wife complaining she has to send/drop cheques at different banks sad.gif

For maybank, it's ok cos I have maybank2u. smile.gif

Can maybank credit card be used to autopay OCBC and Alliance? hmm.gif


How you pay so many cards every month? shocking.gif




QUOTE(Gen-X @ May 31 2011, 01:47 PM)
1. OCBC for Petrol (and if your petrol bills do not add up to RM1K, charge some utility bill to it) Monthly rebate RM50. Annually cash rebate RM600. Also Rm50 GST waived.
2. Alliance Bank Platinum credit card if you got monthly insurance or any other monthly expenses that is not chargeable with Amex card. Cash back applicable up to usage of RM5K where you get RM68+/month. Annually you'll get back more than RM800. On top of cash back, Alliance do reward you evergreen unlimited reward points RM1 = 1 point for local transaction.
3. Charge the rest into Maybankard 2 American Express and get 5X Treats Points equivalent to 2.5% return (better than Alliance) and maximum RM600 cash back annually if you spend RM1K every month on either Saturdays or Sundays.

From 3 cards above, possible max CASH back around RM2000 per year with RM7K monthly spending. Yet to even include Alliance reward points and Maybank Treats Points.

Your HSBC use when you get discount at merchants only, hahaha
0% installment, go check the merchant where you want to purchase the stuff accept what card and then go apply that card. No point I tell you go get Maybankard 2 Cards and the merchant don't accept Maybank for 0% installment. But I think most merchants accept Maybank cards for 0% installment.

Go to here to read Ways to Pay your credit cards Thread. FREE if you got HSBC Premier or Advance account.

Your wife complains a lot, hahaha. For me, I also write cheques, last time no problems as got driver to wait for me as I run into the banks. Nowadays after I sent my kids to school, I just drop by the banks, no parking problems whatsoever and hardly anyone in the banks at 8am in the morning. I tell you, best time to go to banks is early in the morning, possibility of being robbed also less as all the "bad guys" still in dreamland.

Hi,

I'm looking for more info bout getting CC, this thread is like oasis to me. =)

1. Annual Income: 24k - 30k

2. Free Lifetime Annual fee: A must

3. Card Required for: Petrol, rebate, online transactions, groceries, dinners.

4. Existing CC: nil.

5. Preferred Bank/CC: Reading the posts here, I guess Maybank Dua.

6. Others: Here is the tricky part, I'm not Malaysian. I'm a Indonesian who is under Expatriate Program in MY (I married to a MY), currently under visa & work permit.

I've read some information in webs saying that Expatriate in MY is eligible to apply CC, but I'm not sure how accurate the info is.

Would greatly appreciate if anyone here could shed me some light on this issue.

I missed this yesterday, well according to Maybank website, you can still be issued a MBB credit card. It states the following:

If you are an expatriate:

* Letter from employer confirming duration of employment contract in Malaysia. Note: You must be a Maybank account holder.


The other options you have is go get Debit Cards linked to Savings Account. For petrol, you look into Public Bank Day to Day card or their Esso Card.

Go talk to your banker and see if they are willing you let you pledge FD.

What you mean by paying too much for annual fees? You never asked for waiver?
Just go upgrade you MBB cards to Maybankard 2 Card. No annual fees for life and 2 cards for price of 1 GST tongue.gif

Click below link to read my article titled Best CC in Malaysia. Is There REally One?", below where the cards I mentioned all come with Free Annual fees with and without conditions and MBB has two cards that are FREE For Life.

kick ass handphone, that is not often, maybe every 6 months tongue.gif Well most dealers that sells hp cheaper than RRP don't accept AMEX. Also for overseas transactions, better to go with Visa or MasterCard. So I guess to make your life simple, get a free for life credit card with the bank you have an account so you get to transfer fund in the middle of the night while clubbing with your kick ass handphone to make payment without having any fees imposed smile.gif

You can also look into Maybankard 2 Cards where you can choose either MasterCard or Visa where the overseas transactions will be the lowest since it is a Maybank card.

I guess for Petrol, cash back and non local bank, your options are limited.

Citibank Platinum Cash Back Visa would be meet your requirements; however your annual income is less than their requirement. So I guess if your salary is close to RM36K, apply for OCBC Titanium MasterCard.

Master or Visa, not much difference in terms of acceptance in Malaysia. Most places that accept Visa also accept MC. However MC do have promotions at the Malls during festive seasons by offering free gift if you spend a certain amount.
