Hi guys,

I applied the Public Bank Credit Card Gold along when I did my car monthly payment. The thing is I am very new about these kind of things.

I want to ask if is there any yearly or monthly payment? From what I heard is that the yearly payment is waived as long as my car payment is still going on (which is 9 years) (Is it because they expect me to pay for the car using the card?). Also, let's say I bought RM 2000 stuffs. I paid RM 200-300 per month. Then how much interest r they going to charge me?



1. Annual Income: RM30K to RM35K
2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: A Must
3. Card required for: Mostly going to be Petrol purchases (swipe twice a month, or so), but can also be used for emergency or online purchases, and emergency swipes while travelling/holidaying (in Malaysia and overseas)
4. Existing credit cards if any: Debit card mostly
5. Looking at CC from: Citi Bank Clear card as I saw there's 1-1 free ticket for cinema and Coffee bean as well

You cannot use credit card to pay off car loans. Rule of the thumb, pay statement balance in full or at least make sure you know how to calculate the interest. Also,     look at other card's benefits and decide which is best for you.

Ahh...I see. I've read up a lot. All of them feels like there's a trap behind it haha laugh.gif For now I am thinking of applying Citibank Choice ( no annual feel for both principal and supplementary holder and it has 50 rewards points for petrol if u pump 50 bucks in 1 go) and then Citibank Clear for the 1-1 Coffee bean and cinema deal. The first year annual fees is waived for my public bank gold visa card. I think I'm gonna cancelled it once it reaches 1 year tongue.gif

Wat do u guys think?

EDIT: Hmm based on this calculator here for Citibank: http://www.citibank.com.my/english/docs/us...-calculator.htm

Let's say I purchased RM 2000 and I am paying RM 500 per month.. the interest will be RM 65 only per month or until everything is paid off? @@
