Can perform a BT that could max out the available credit limit? I don't think so.

Have a question regarding Pbbank BT, if I go for the 6 months BT for 1800, meaning every month I'll need to pay 300 right? What if I charge another 300 to the card, if I pay 600, will I be charged with any interest?

Otherwise, do the Maths on yourself.Additional amount swiped to the card will not be charged for interest if you clear that amount before payment due date. For details regarding outstanding amount due to payment, kindly refer to your card statement or clear it with the customer service. |

To me balance transfer is like robbing paul to pay peter. it's just a way for banks to make money out of ur mountain of debts.

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Nov 17 2010, 08:51 PM) That's true. I just transferred a total amount of RM80,000 from my SCB JustOne Titanium and SCB World MC to DA VI last month. I am going to do another BT from OCBC Titanium to DA VI this December. I have money to settle all the outstanding balance but since DA is offering me 0% interest for 6 months without any handling or upfront fees, I can delay paying in full and my money can earn some interest in FD! |

BT is a good feature in CC if you know how to exert proper usage and control.

I have 2 cards with outstanding.
Will I save more if I use balance transfer on both of them vice versa on one another if I have the available cc limit on both card to do that? And what I really wanted to know is that possible to do balance transfer like that? xD |

My question is, i am subjected to 24 months installement, after i transfer the balance, am i still entitle to the installment and how much they will charge on it? However, if you wish the transfer the monthly EPP installment amount along with other outstanding amount, I believe it is possible provided that the EPP monthly amount is already shown in the cumulative outstanding. BT rate/promo varies from bank to bank. This post has been edited by David83: Nov 30 2010, 11:31 AM |
