I got the leaflet over here. Maybe really for selected customer only.
I'll try to enquire within, never had any deals with ambank at all. LOL

Maybank totally s**ks in term of cc bt, they don't have courtesy like cimb to give a call to customer if credit available is not enough. Plus you may only transfer 90% of available credit

You should ask them how much credit limit you left, and you can do the calculation by yourself

This is weird

24 months BT interest is lower than 12 months one

Just found out that it is not 2% for 2 years. It is 4% upfront for 2 years and it is installment type

i write to CIMB and hope they can bring back the I.smart plan.
I use it on last year for 2%@10month, and now HSBC is 3%@10 and 5%@20month.
I have used all my credit limit on HSBC and they reject my credit limit increase.

So now i look for any GOOD offer. Citibank is super expensive!!!

go for ambank or public bank

Putting aside the 0% BT by Public Bank and BSN, the next best deal is from Alliance Bank at 2% for 24 months.

Alliance Bank is 2% per annum, that mean 4% for 24 months.

i had never knew that balance trnsfer can be done without credit card outstanding balance. what is the interest ? basically, the highest interest of balance transfer which acceptable to me is 3%, of course many banks now doing 0% for 6 months or 3% annually for 12 months.

some bank such as standard chrtered, which charge 6% is considered ridiculous.

for HLB interest rate, you can refer to this link

just call them to waive it every month. Those CS sure will tell you not to spend anything on your card until you fully settle your BT
