Standard chartered offer 5% but with T&C. n the 5% bonus is based on the incremental amount only if not mistaken. n the min amount in the account is rm3K.
should calculate the total $$ u may get n the capital u have in order to enjoy the 5%.

Sorry, I do not quite understand.

every month u need to top up your account in order to enjoy the 5%. i'm not sure how they calculate the interest but according to info i know, the interest is calculated based on the average incremental amount.
5% special rates consists of bonus interest PLUS interest at the effective interest rate. So it is not giving out 5% flat to all customers.
Example: Bonus Interest earned for an account with Incremental average balance of RM200,000:
5% (Special interest) - 2% (Tier rate of e$aver) = 3% only. and it varies depend on customer’s balances and the tier rate.
*
The above policy applies to exiting customers only.
Existing customers will get 5% interest on each month top up of each single deposit only, not
flat 5% rate for 3 months of total deposits.

For example, exiting customer A makes a deposit for 3K in October, then a 5% rate for 3K will pay to existing customer A.
Then, existing customer A makes another deposit for 4K in November, a 5% rate for 4K will be paid; but the 3K deposit made in
October previously will not get 5%.

For new customers, they can make deposits anytime (or top up) during October only.
New customers will get flat 5% interest rate for 3 months from October to
end of December 2011.

Interest will calculate on daily basis.

From what I understand, example 8.3 in the T&C clearly shows you can top up in anytime from oct to dec2011 and enjoy the 5% bonus.

I called Standard & Chartered customer service at 1-300 888 888 for few times,
they confirmed new customers can only top up during October period only.
New customer will get flat 5% rate for the total deposit for 3 months which will calculate on daily basis.

Existing customers can top up from October to December.
Existing customer will get 5% rate based on each monthly particular top up. Existing customers will not get
flat 5% rate for 3 months from October to December.

Maybank E-FD is good because you can uplift at the day of maturity.

Maybank got some FD promotion now, but can only do it over the counter.
*
All banks' FDs can uplift or withdraw on the maturity dates, except holidays.

Placement of e-FD at CIMB banks

CIMB E-Fixed deposit
13. Would I be able to withdraw/uplift my eFD on the maturity date?

No, you will not be able to. You may withdraw/uplift the eFD one day after the maturity date. However you can perform withdrawal/upliftment at your home branch on the maturity day.

*
I usually withdraw my CIMB FD on the maturity date, interest rate pays on accurate amount.
But my CIMB FD statement is on a paper (deposit and withdraw via bank counter, a traditional type),
