Received my first SMS alert for swipe transaction on my Citibank CC for an amount less than min amount set.

Maybe because I requested for the replacement CC.

That's good, at least you know it's working.

Ha! Ha! Previously, I didn't receive any alert on swipe transactions at amount less than preset default value.

Just have to monitor it.

Update for UOB Credit Card: We can change the SMS alert transaction limit to RM 1 and above. I have successfully done so and got the SMS for a RM 40 transaction. Just fill in the "SMS Transaction Alert Service Maintenance Form" from UOB website at Useful Information -> Application Form -> Personal Banking. The completed form should be sent to UOB via fax, post or direct hand-in. Take note that the fax number written in the form is outdated. The correct fax number should be 03-26900121, those in doubt may call up UOB to confirm.

Gen-X, please do add this info to UOB Credit Cards thread as well.

Sure Bro, thanks for the valuable info. And in respect to the fax number, I just called UOB to reconfirm and you are correct.

Finally... I can set to RM1 to see my petrol swipes purchases.

I've received my petrol swipe SMS transaction after faxing into UOB to change the limit to RM1.00
Faxed in my request on 2 October 2012... I guess it took about <1 week to process.

i'm curious about maybank sms alert for maybank 2 platinum card.
i was told that as a supplementary card holder with separate statement, i cant receive sms alerts.
it will all be sent to principle.
has anyone experienced this?
how true is it?

im the supplementary card holder as well and whenever i make online transaction, all the tac code will send to principal number. anyone managed to change to the supp card holder number? its so annoying that have to keep on ask principal what is the tac code.

for TAC, it comes to my number.
you can request if your statement is separated

It's no longer necessary to call CS for the form. Just download from their site and email it to them.

thanks, just mail them.

CIMB refuses to change the min SMS trigger amount from the default value of RM500

Guys, may I please know if the bank will charge us for receiving this type of SMS if the beginning of the SMS doesn't state RM0.0?

Currently the banks are charging RM0.00 for this transaction alerts via SMS.

This is the sternest respond from BNM after I filed a complain on one bank who did not adhere to the SMS requirement:

thanks for the reply.

I am pleased to announce that my request for setting min threshold to RM1 is successful, after BNM's intervention.

Bro, which bank?

CIMB
