Anyway, just to inform all, apply for another BT for my AMEX charged card with DA on 10th Jan last Monday by faxxing in the application form and I called to check today and was informed CIMB have paid to MBB on 14th January. That's 5 working days! However my AMEX online yet to show the payment credited. |

Well if you got like installment, autodebit , etc with your HSBC account, there is a hierarchy on how your payment is made. The girl keep saying no need worry as my record doesn't have any outstanding balance or plans which makes me wonder why would I have problems?. Better to go with CIMB where they create a new separate account for BT approved.But you can only transfer up to 50 or 60% of your available credit limit. |

Better to go with CIMB where they create a new separate account for BT approved. Different bank different procedures. For HSBC, we base on hierarchy payment. Meaning if you make payment, the payment will go to balance transfer then IPP then only to your retail purchases. So it is advisable not to use your card on retail purchases if you have any IPP or Balance Transfer on your card. |
