Try OCBC. Their min requirement is 36k pa for titanium but then again, anything is possible. Do u have any loans / FD with any banks? if yes, you can try applying with them- it might be easier for them to approve since it is not a new risk , provided you are a good paymaster. Try re-appealing for citibank, sometimes it works.

I'm looking for CC that allows the credit to be converted into 'personal loan' at a good deal.

eg. Maybankard Ezcash can convert 90 percent of credit limit to cash (deposited into Maybank account) at a one time interest of 3.88 percent. After that only need to pay back instalment for six months, interest free.

In a way, this is a cheaper way of getting 'personal loan' compared to the normal ones which interest is much higher per annum. Are there any other credit cards that provide this service and is as good as or better than Maybank? Please advise.

Are you referring to a CCBT? yes, many cc has ccbt/loan system.however, most banks only allow you to apply for it >6 months and it is subjected to approval.
And also, nothing is interest free if you actually take into account of the "processing fees" smile.gif

OCBC is very tight with their selection. smile.gif
Even people with more than 48k per annum also got rejected. (I'm one of them but got it after appeal).
I think go for Maybankard2 Gold Card is much better. smile.gif 30k/annum is just nice for that. smile.gif It is currently one of the best cards in the market. smile.gif
I try to use my AmEx more than my OCBC Ti.

Well sad to say sometimes OCBC's criteria for cc application is haywire tongue.gif The easiest bank that I have come across is citibank. I applied for a card with them, did not give any payslips and did not bother providing my employers details. Filled up the form at a roadshow but then I was not keen to apply for the card when i went home. The sales guy wrote his own story as to where I am working, and when they called me for verification on that, I told them it is false and did not provide any further info on my actual employer. 2 days later the card was approved blink.gif And my annual income is lower than yours...

By the way, anyone knows if BNM's ruling of 2 cards to a person is currently being practiced or not? I've got two cards, but wanna get MBB2Card. Dunno if I need to terminate one of them before applying for a new csrd.

speaking on citibank cc

i was approached by their sale dude in the mall and i was attracted to the free 24" cabin luggage if u swipe 800 within 30 days upon approval

few days later the pin came and received email bout online statement, the card never came after a week, then they billed me for the 50 gov tax, called them and said card was sent out ... they say will send a new card within a few days, 2 weeks has since past, a new mail with the new pin came and yet no card was in sight, called back to check address was all ok and was told to wait a few more days

3 weeks has since passed and card is not in sight, called back 3rd time, wanted to cancel, they say got penalty, and transfered me to cancelation dept

was told the 50 ringgit charge will be billable to me as that amount it charged upon approval ... had a huge fight with the dude and told him to cancel it and get their supservisor to call me back, the dude got a piece of my mind and they say will proceed to cancel and then get their management to waive that 50, but its still subject to their approval...

the next day they called back say card is canceled and the 50 will be reversed ...

same thing happened here, they sent me pin , sms and everything and told card has been sent out. 2 weeks +=, and the card was nowhere to be found. Then they told me to wait for nither 2 weeks, i made a fuss, and they replaced it for me, but had to collect it at their branch
