Yup they upgraded from Enrich Platinum to Enrich WMC.

I took our master tgeoklin's advice, got the bank's senior management to get to know me and notice my portfolio.

Interesting but knowing how kiamsiap PB is, i wonder how meagre the minimum credit limit for their Visa Infinite will be. RHB's starts at RM 200k according to their PDS, CIMB's at RM 100k. 50k?

Fully agree.

If my memory serves me right, you have both the HL (prev EON) VS and HL Platinum Master before the merger. Out of curiosity, what happened to the cards after the merger (since you have both)?

Have they merged both bank's card database or still two separate cards with separate limits at the moment?

Looks like mbb is getting desperate in expanding its premium cards' database. At the rate this is going in a year or two, the supposedly premium wmc and vi will lose its premium status and banks will start coming up with an even more exclusive cards i.e world elite mastercard etc.

You're humble as always. Last time also you said MBB VI wall too high to climb, in no time, I saw a post on your blog the card delivered already!

Like you mentioned a few times in your blog, you perceive CIMB Enrich (regardless World or Plat) as very prestigious among its respective categories just because you don't have them and don't even plan on having them! LOL.

Your article on Premier Cards is extremely useful. I find myself referring to it every once in awhile till now!

Added on December 14, 2011, 1:02 amTerapox, just noticed you had CIMB Plat and DA Plat those days. Separate credit limit right?

Bro Gen-X, the UOB Midas card can be considered very prestigious too right?

Your salary credited to which bank? If Maybank, get the branch manager to give you pre approved credit card easier.

i'm not sure about ambank but i know maybank can.

try approaching the branch where you maintain your account and ask the branch manager if he or she can recommend.

I like this term 'syiok sendiri'. Hahahahaha

Let me attempt to answer the differences between MBB WMC and CIMB Enrich WMC.

MBB WMC is better for enrich miles accumulation (local spending RM 2 = 1 mile, overseas RM 1 = 1 mile)

CIMB Enrich WMC (local spending RM 4 = 1 mile, overseas RM 2 = 1 mile)

I find CIMB Enrich WMC especially useful as one can use it for the malaysia airlines buy 1 free 1 promotions for both first class and business class. MBB WMC does not offer this. With CIMB Enrich WMC, every RM 1 spent on www.malaysiaairlines.com gets you 1 Enrich mile. When shopping inflight, you get 10% discount.

MBB WMC is excellent too. It comes with Enrich Silver membership and they let you choose whether you would like the Golden Lounge access tied to the membership or otherwise. This maybe useful to some but then again, if you're a frequent traveler with MAS, most likely you're already having Enrich Silver if not Gold. Hilton Premium membership useful too, buy 1 free 1 when you dine with another person.

MBB WMC annual fees can be waived (RM 1k without golden lounge access requires RM 100k retail spending, RM 1.5k with golden lounge access requires RM 250k of retail spending).

CIMB Enrich WMC requires RM 500k and above of retail spending to waive the RM 888 annual fees completely. If you spend between between RM 250k - 500k, only 50% of the annual fees will be waived.

Finally, what truly distinguishes the CIMB Enrich WMC from the MBB WMC is the fact that you can't apply for one as it is offered strictly by invitation only. Now, that's exclusive with a big E. Hence the CIMB Enrich WMC and RHB VI being ranked as the most prestigious cards among the Premier Cards in Malaysia by none other than our esteemed cc sifoo cum blogger, bro Gen-X

I was told Maybank is in the processing of coming up with a Premium Newsletter for its premium cardmembers (wmc, vi and platinum).

So far, it has circulation of 6,500 cards for its WMC since the July 2010 launch and 4,000 cards for its VI which was launched October this year. It has 80,000 platinum cardholders!

Compared to CIMB which has approximately 60,000 WMC and VI and 2,000 Enrich WMC cardholders, MBB has a long way to go in promoting its Premium offerings.

haha i agree! well said

Good news to frequent travelers who are CIMB Enrich cardmembers:

UOB has stopped issuing invitations for Midas for a few years I was told. CL ranges from RM 50k - RM 300k.

UOB is planning to introduce Visa Infinite in 1Q2012. Hope it will look as nice as UOB Singapore's Visa Infinite with the big visa bird hologram.

I was told Midas was introduced to Malaysia 11 years ago. Anyway, I'm sure your application won't get rejected lah. Especially the fact that you're their PB customer. Anyway, it's their loss if they were to reject your application, they won't get free publicity/review in your blog!

I can only hope they will come up with something competitive with regards to airmiles accumulation. When UOB Singapore first introduced Visa Infinite in their market in 2003, one will get 80,000 krisflyer miles (i repeat 80,000!!!) when one pays the S$ 1500 annual fees.

Anyway, here's the big bird Visa hologram I was mentioning (design similar as RHB's VI):

Likewise! Happy New Year to all! May 2012 brings us luck, happiness, health, prosperity and so much more

Gen-X, would you mind to list down (as you did in your blog, your cards CL in terms of ranking)? Now that you have additional Premier cards like the SCB VI, maybank VI etc i thought the ranking may have changed slightly?

Maybe those six figure ones you can do in alphabetical order and those 50k - 100k you can do in descending order like your blogpost.

(This is of course, if you don't mind. No need to mention the CL figures.)

Hahaha, fetish on CL! Very well said LOL.

No lah, my intent is not to compare with my CIMB Enrich WMC, I just want to know only

Here are my premier card bank's CL ranking in descending order:

AMEX Plat Chg Card > CIMB Enrich WMC > MBF WMC > MBB WMC > SCB PBVI


ps. bro Gen-X, you haven't ranked yours

Wah 6 additions in a year! That's quite a number. What do you have now?

that's good to know
