Banks are not obliged to compensate the GST. And this is applicable to not only CIMB.

I have a Public Bank Credit card, but I didn't know if this condition applies to all series of the card.

Spend RM80 within 2 months of GST charged to get GST waived.

The card I am holding is MG Visa.

did you request for it or they auto credit into your account in the next statement?
MG = mobil gold?

alexwsk, it will be automatically credited into my account (according to the CS). No, the card is a Mutual Gold VISA.

ic, do update us when that happens
will see whether my wife's PB Esso Mobil gets the same as well

Is MBB able to waive the GST for its MBB 2 AMEX card?

No

No... use your TreatsPoints to redeem GST RM50 on your Maybankard 2 Visa/Mastercard

u can use it to redeem on ur Amex too if ur lazy to redeem vouchers and get an RM50 extra rebate directly

HLB VS GST rebate if u do 3 swipes any amount

hi, i am not able to find this info on their website. how you find this out? for new application only? thanks

i called their Customer service ..

I hope they do this for all HLB CC not just their Visa Signature

HLB as my dad is a Since 02 customer, and got charged the annual fees for the platinium card membership ~ RM488++, he's in rage and i helped him to call and cancel the card since that's the only card that is useful when we want to get Cheapo Free gifts while dining...

CS called back within the next day to beg us not to discontinue the card and promoised to give us Full Annual Fee + GST reduction to RM50 if i spend RM1000 with them for that particular month, and they will also give me 1 Free gift *16GB Thumbdrive Duno wat brand, as the CS said* if we can do the 1k transactions within 7 days...

went to TnG reloaded 500 per card, and gifts are in process in sending over to my house...

Seems like HLB is really short on customers i assume...

(but sad case wise... 5000 TP wasted, and ~ RM50 rebates gone, but for this month's rebate already reached, so its... acceptable somehow~)

oo.. i've got my waiver from Citibank last year.. technique: told them i want to cancel my card due to GST. and then anti-attrition team called and offer me RM 50.

U call cs to deduct from MBB2 amex and they allowed?

cancel card and later reapply as now many banks give cashback for new applicants

WaCKy-Angel,

Alliancebank doesnt waive the GST but you can request to be compensated with TBPs to offset the GST. All it takes a short (1 minute) request over the phone. I got my compensation with less than a day and they even filled out all the forms. Basically I use 10,000 TBPs for the GST and they credit me 10,000 TBPs at the same time.

I dont know how much you need to spend on the card to qualify though - but it cant be that high, the card in question had less than 6-figures charges over the last 12 months.
