What a meager CL. Never had such low CL even when I was a supplementary before getting my first card when I turned 21.

Try apply UOB, OCBC and Public Bank to see what CL they give you tongue.gif

hahaha, first he needs to pay himself more to qualify for the card (and thus pay 26% to government) and then can use the RHB VI minimum CL RM200K again for cash flow and to sustain his high salary tongue.gif

Not sure the question is relevant to this topic but since it's about credit card issue I might just ask.

I've been getting calls 2-3x a week from some promoter stating they giving a VIP card (or some others offer) for all the credit card users. The problem now is I keep telling them I'm not interested and they doesn't seem to compute with my request. It's getting annoying actually.  vmad.gif

Any idea how to make them to stop calling once and for all? I can just hung up immediately but that seem to be rude to them. Haih.  sad.gif

Thx.

you should read the thread below and see if the calls are from any similar numbers

this is not  i need  , the executive sale give me the form and  let me apply together with maybank 2 card  .
what i need is maybank 2 card  and she told me see which is approve  .

Firstly, it is your own fault for signing the application form without knowing the terms and conditions.
Secondly, you have accepted the MBB WMC by using it for petrol. You could have cancel it when the card was issued, now it is too late.
Thirdly, why the heck use the MBB WMC for petrol when you get nothing and not the MBB Dua? Or did your MBB 2 application got rejected?
Fourthly, have you paid the annual fees? Kind of odd that you have the card since April and now only you're concerned with the annual fees.

Well, since you got the MBB WMC now, might as well go enjoy MA Golden Lounge and make your RM1500 annual fees worth it.

He can opt to cancel the card without having to pay annual fee.
AFAIK, annual fee is for next year's usage.
I said this because I also faced this situation. When I received my CitiGiant statement with an annual fee, I quickly called CT hope can get waiver, but was declined. The CS told "if cancel the card, then no need to pay AF lor". I was kinda enlightened.
*
Yes he can opt to cancel the card when he first received it BUT instead he used the card.
There is no free 1st year annual fee for MBB WMC with or without the Golden Lounge option. hye, can you confirm this.

And also, I am sure it is clearly stated in the Application Form for WMC the annual fee. Therefore to claim ignorance on the annual fees is ridiculous.

QUOTE(hye @ Aug 6 2011, 09:55 AM)
Sorry guys ... just came in.

One possibility the guy forgot to ask the golden question.
"Free AF for this card?"

One thing to note for the MBB WMC, the AF is not charged immediately. It takes a few months before the AF appears into the statement. Thus that's why the guy thinks the AF is waived. The fact that he's being charged RM1.5K, probably the initial decision was led by the idea of free MAS golden lounge. (Non lounge AF is RM1K) Most of the time from my experience with the sales rep, they will downplay the AF question coz not easy to get people to sign up but good for their sales target. If asked, they will tell you the truth about the AF - I have yet to encounter any sales reps in person and CS on the phone who will say that the AF is waiverable for the 1st year for this particular card.

I need to emphasize the free MAS golden lounge because MAS golden lounge does not exist all over the world (London-Heathrow, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, and Singapore. In Malaysia, they are located at the Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Kinabalu, and Kuching airports. Also you can enter the local MAS golden lounge which is almost all local airports) + you need to be flying with MAS to begin with. If you are flying with other airlines and want to use the MAS lounge then sorry. You cannot use the card to enter partner lounges. This is what the sales reps would not tell you because in 99% of the time they don't know and they think MAS lounges exist all over the world. (Well ... hypothetically correct) At least it is good if you are flying out from KL.

In this aspect, the SCB VISA Infinite would score better in terms of lounge access. (As everyone know lounge access is via the Priority Pass) Quality of lounge .... depending on your luck lah. Coz 90% of the time is via 3rd party lounge and not the airline lounge itself. (e.g MY - Plaze Premium Lounge, SG - Rainforest / Skyview Lounge, TH - Louis Tavern CIP, SK -Hub Lounge/KAL Lounge)

One critical info is that MBB is very strict on the approval criteria of this card. You won't get this card if the bank think you cannot afford it and no nonsense on the income eligibility - must to at least being able to pay the RM1.5K 1st year AF fee and (perhaps) spends a lot of money to get the AF waiver in lieu of the RM1.5K AF. Probably the guy has huge CL with other cards or/and holding premium cards. Likely affordability is not a question ... but wants the AF to be waived similar to other cards.

Sorry not this card. Not even when you are a MBB Premier customer or higher ... at least on the 1st year AF. And CS will tell you point blank ... AF is not waiverable. Speak to whoever you wish to speak and the answer is NO.
And ... I am not sure why anyone would just put down their signature on the form. It's akin to signing a blank cheque. It is the person's fault for not reading the T&C and fine print. I don't agree to bother BNM just to cover a person own negligence. No ongoing promos for this card to waive AF, form clearly state AF fee structure and bank will impose it. Not whatsoever indication the AF would not be imposed unlike other cc form + they use original forms and not photostat version of the form.

I can confirm that there's no 1st year AF waiver on this card irrespective whether there's a Golden Lounge or not. The basic feature of the card include Hilton Premium Club membership (you can't remove this) which is about RM648 per annum. 2nd year AF is waiverable at either RM150K spending per annum for base card and RM250K spending for MAS lounge access card.
P/S Emm ... why lah me the choice to answer this question ?

Because nobody here can give a better answer besides you smile.gif

I can confirm it is RM 100k & RM 120k respectively for the MBB WMC annual fee reimbursement. Verified by the officer offering me the pre-approved WMC last year as well as two other WMC CS officers.

** Edited **

That's what the telemarketer told me (in the range of RM100K for non Golden Lounge option) when they call me up to offer the card early this year BUT it's not black and white and since I don't fly MAS, no diff to me.

Although there is no official black & white agreement on the reimbursement of WMC annual fees, but I did received an email stating about the eligibility amount for annual fees reimbursement from the officer/telemarketeer offering me the pre-approved card.
*
that's great, the email is good enough.

Talking about annual fee waiver, My MBB Plat MC annual fee is due soon. So few days back I asked the CS if they could waive my annual fee, at first she said that I have to wait for it to be shown in the Statement. So I said something like, if I cannot get a confirmation, I am not going to use the card further. She then asked to to wait, after few seconds on hold, she said the annual fee will be waived. Spent less than RM10K or maybe even RM5K with the MBB Plat MC, so I am happy with MBB.

Yes. Like a few seconds ago when i saw this post of yours   biggrin.gif   I guess they found many unfavourable comments about their credit cards here hence the withdrawal of the sponsorship   sweat.gif   Anyway, just a wild guess.

By the way, i told them they should look into Maybank and OCBC credit cards when they called me to ask me a few questions about their credit card just two days ago   biggrin.gif   I told the guy Maybank gives me 5x TP whenever i use my MBB2 AMEX and the guy was like... wah!!! 5 times ah ??   laugh.gif
*
I don't think it is our unfavourable comments since what we mentioned are facts wink.gif Moreover, my last post in my blog was favourable to Clear Card. More like maybe they got instructions from HQ to cut cost in order to boast profit and hopefully their share don't go back to USD10.00 (since they have combined 10 shares into 1) whistling.gif

Next time you speak to Citi again, ask him to pass message to CC Dept boss if they need our help to create the ultimate CC tongue.gif

LOL. I think the guy is from a company called callop or caleb something. They are doing a survey on behalf of Citibank. Actually, it wasn't just a few questions. He asked me many different questions and i needed to grade them. The whole process took 13 minutes 25 seconds. I was also asked if i'd recommend Citibank credit card to other people and i said i'm neutral on that. At the end, he asked if it's ok to include my real name (no, i didn't have to tell him my name over the phone because he already knows my name) when they submit the survey back to Citibank or i'd prefer to do it anonymously   smile.gif

I'm not aware of the 2x points. Which card gives 2x points for overseas use ? Their regular platinum credit card ?
thumbup.gif

Miles, what was the telephone number? Just curious.

And I'm also not aware that Citi got 2X points for overseas. Even if it does, still cannot beat MBB's rate for overseas where we also earn 1X TP.

See you guys next weekend, going for holiday smile.gif
