sent ur daughter to aussie for study last few week  ?

Actually went to check out Melbourne as intend to sent my daughter there early next year. The coffee and food is really good (wait till I get my MBB VI statement and get a headache when bills are converted to RM). Check out my blog next week, got the flu just before coming back and too sick to post my collection of Australia Debit Cards and other stuffs about Melbourne.

Can anyone tell me what to do about it:-

1) In April 2012, I called to MBB that I wanted SMS Alert with the threshold at RM10.
The CS said OK, but no SMS feedback to tell that you SMS Alert was on.
All my transaction did not have any SMS Alert after that.

2). In the beginning of May 2012, I called again, the CS told me that my SMS Alert feature was on but the Alerts did not account for petrol consumption.
So far, no SMS Alert for either petrol consumption or any other transactions purchase at the counters.

3) Just few days ago, I called back and asked the CS why there was no SMS Alert for all my transactions, she said that because there was  no record for my mobile phone number and need to take one week to do the processing.
Weird to the answer that no mobile phone number on the system, (curious on this: the previous CS had already gotten my number and update into the system...)

I feel that there is something wrong with the MBB SMS Alert System...

I sent a secured email to Citibank to request them to lower my credit card sms alert from the current RM499 to RM1 but guess what ? It is Citibank's policy that they only provide sms alert for all transaction of at least RM201   

continues from the above....
4). Continued called to MBB. After checking, the cs told me to wait for a moment, She wrote a report instantly to  MBB Information Technology  Department without delay, then she  said that I am going to get the notification after 3 working days later.

After 3 working days, finally I received the notification yesterday saying the my SMS ALERT is successful.

MBB SMS ALert system is the toughest bank I had ever deal regarding the SMS Alert.  

P/S: As long as you haven't received your SMS acknowledgment that your SMS Alert feature is successful, you will never get the SMS Alert for all transactions (including irregular transactions) even through u had requested for SMS Alert feature to be on and had recorded on their computer system.

One question, will the transactions incurred by the supplementary cards be alerted to the principal card holder's phone call?
As far as I know, for HSBC, yes, the transaction incurred by the supplementary will notify the principal holders.

What other bank did you find it easier to set the default value to RM10?

Actually I on the other hand find that MBB is the easiest to set default value to RM1. One don't need to fill in any form (unlike OCBC, HLB and Alliance) but just simply call them once for ALL MBB cards. I call once and that's it.

CIMB, as of today they still refuse to set my default value to below RM500 even tho I have requested it twice over the phone 

What I mean tough to deal with MBB Alert System is they tend to refuse to offer some card holders to set on SMS Alert. SMS Alert is supposing to be a MUST for all bank to the card holders as the law set up by Bank Negara.

MBB seems to ignore this rule and I did not get any SMS Alert for all the transactions.
I haven't received any SMS Alert since the 1st time I used the card.

I haven't received any SMS Alert  when I did a irregular transaction amounting to RM 5600 in one transaction.
I haven't received any SMS Alert when I did a irregular transaction amounting to RM 8000++ in one transaction.

You can't set default value, but I didn't have any SMS Alert notification for any transaction despite numerous attempt to do so, which one is more serious?

i did receive SMS for every online transaction, but not with the face to face transaction, sometime yes, sometimes no

Bro, in the first post I have mentioned that Citibank minimum amount for SMS is RM200 and can request by phone or you can do it yourself online.
