4. Then do 0% Balance Transfer and deposit the money you are suppose to pay towards the credit card outstanding balance into FD. Once again, you need the money in hand prior to your purchase, else you earn nothing but you do save on interest charges with some little bit work.

Thanks. Never thought of method #4.

1)My MBB2Card Sept statement have a new outstanding balance of RM8k due on 28Sep2011
2)My OCBC Titanium Sept statement have a new outstanding balance of RM2.5k due on 2Oct2011
3) I have Citibank Shell Gold and Cashback plat with RM0 outstanding.

How do I play the trick #4 with my present situation ?
Can I play the trick again and again for my coming month statements ?

Thank you.

gerrardling, yes do BT to save insterest charges for housing loans do make sense. However, I have mentioned that using BT to reduced housing loan interest does not constitute "earning" money but savings on interest charges because net net you still be in the negative. It is no different from one having no money to pay their credit card bills and thus do balance transfer to save interest charges. FYI, I have stopped tap fish and found new hobby which still requires me to tap tap on the computer screen but so far making me money.
aeiou, yes you can BT every month as long as you have credit in CIMB.

many here go to step 5 and transfer their outstanding amount in CIMB BT to MBB BT. To maximize returns, you need MBB 2 AMEX and CIMB. With MBB 2, automatically you'll earn 2.5% upfront which is more than earning you can earn from FD (any other card would earn you much less except for MBB WMC).  And then transfer the MBB 2 outstanding to CIMB and then back to MBB2 account. So you can drag your payment up to 18 months.

"can drag your payment up to 18 months." I still don't understand this part. How does it work ? Do you mean I still have to pay the monthly principal repayments but at 0 interest for 18 months ?

since u only have MBB CC that offer 0% BT, you can only transfer ur balance from OCBC to MBB. keep your money that supposed to be paid for OCBC outstanding balance in FD for 12 months.
citibank offer BT also but not 0%, not worth it

Thanks for the tips.
Due to OCBC Titanium cap limit, I don't have much spendings in OCBC, therefore MBB2Amex BT to CIMB would be the best yield.
