2 years back I called up to cancel my HLB Plat and received a call from them offering me 3 years auto annual fee waiver and 20,000 rewards points. That year only needed 7000 points to offset GST and this year had to use 10,000 points, so got balance 3000 points. And I have not been using the HLB Plat since then (maybe max twice). Looks like next year I got to pay GST as points not enough I kind of like HLB, ever since I got their Gold Card, they have been waiving my annual fees for years and happy with most of their CS.

As for Citi, I guess I'm not considered loyal customer (had the card like for more than 8 years and the CL had reached the Max level), when I called up CS last year to cancel my Citi Clear Card, CS said OK and did not receive any call from them. This year got the Citi Plat, got to wait and see what happen next year.

As for UOB, before I cancel my MC Plat 2 years back, they say cannot waive, after I cancel they want waive, told them forget it since the card useless. But kept the Plat Visa, that year they gave me some offer to waive GST but this year paid the GST as I did not bothered to ask for waiver, can't cancel this card because bought an insurance policy with it years ago and the policy is tied to it **Edited** But UOB card not too bad, did get some benefit when in Singapore.

Citibank will waive if you use them for quite no. of years

Called Citi CS to waive the annual fees and also got the GST rebate.

The spend must be done within your anniversary year (not calendar year)
i.e. from the first GST charge to the next GST charge

Remember to cancel all the SCB cards, hopefully you get the RM100 Free Cash (to retain you)

I having 3 SCB cards now, Platinum, Business Plat. & World Master... wanted to cancel the old & dated Visa Platinum card due to coming GST but didn't make it...because SCB gave me RM100 for retention..gosh, I was thinking, if I having 3 cards, each card I would have 3 times of this kind of retention...hahaha untung lah

My theory: You must cancel ALL three cards at one go to get your retention bonus.

I cancelled 1 of my 3 and did not even get a call back from Price Solution

I cancel my RHB card last two week and the reason is because of GST
Got call today that they will waived it and will send me a new card..

my HSBC signature they automatically cr my account rm50 without me asking also... Citi I called to cancel they cr my account 50 also and converted to better card

Im thinking want to go to maybank but since maybank dont waive/ credit bank maybe i dont want to loh

How about OCBC Titanium? They can waive the RM50 GST with the condition if we spent RM10,000 per year! Wondering if we can't meet the condition, can they waive it with just a call like Citibank?
