Hi all, just for sharing....
I've just returned from HSBC Amanah Kota Damansara.
Took their new branch opening offers: 5% 3 month TD-i for non-premier category.
The requirements and process seems rather straight forward.
Required the following 2 products to be openned:
1. Term Deposit-i: min RM5k, max RM50k.
2. Amanah Advance Acct-i: min RM100.
(I have highlighted about the T&C said min RM500, the teller said RM100 is enough. RM500 is for Amanah Advance Acct-i alone.).
She said the TD-i slips will be ready when my cheque cleared. I requested her to mail it to me instead of collecting at branch.
I also requested for internet banking. It is FOC.
I was given a big golf umbrella and recycle bag as welcome gifts.
This should be the highest FD rate for the moment. Highly recommended.

Other Promotions
Some banks are also offering step up interest rates (with or without condition, e.g. some banks require that you deposit x amount in savings or current account), so you better average them out and I would think they still won't be able to beat Affin 12 months Fixed Deposit rate of 3.6%.
