On the other hand, for "crazy card collectors"like me, the GST is depriving me the opportunity to "shiok sendiri" and owning unless cards that do not benefit me, hahahaha  doh.gif  Will be publishing my article showing my card collection titled My Credit Cards 2013 come 1.18am 1/1/2013.

Thanks bro for your card collection titled, thumbup.gif very like yr blog by posting cards collection for 2011 &2012 as I personally have collect cards as well, not only for credit cards, but other cards also will be collected such as hotel card.

Hope the GST will be remove by next year, so that I can apply few different cards from different bank, but by applying the cards, sure will under secure financial, and apply for the cards which can be benefits to me as well.

Hi all, would like to seek advice from you guys.

I believe some of here got apply housing loan from PBB, and normally bank will issued a credit card to the applicator who are get success housing loan from bank.

May I know is there possible can be waiver for the GST by bank? Or we need to pay for it?

I do know for others credit card, yes, we need to pay for gst or redeemed the point, but how about this situation of it? And can I cancel the credit card on after day?

hmm.gif

I think a better question is, what are the benefits that you stand to gain from that card? Dont worry too much about the GST. If the card is good enough, the benefits will eventually offset the GST  smile.gif
*
But I don't think this is good enough compare to others credit cards that I used.

Because I think I'm not going to use it for daily or others spend as this is only for reward point but no rebate.

Just keep for future and see how first, may think to cancel after a year before GST charge. hmm.gif

if you have not use it at all, try calling their CS and ask whether you can cancel right away with the GST waived
explain nicely to them that their housing loan agent asked you to apply for it together with your housing loan

if they are not willing to waive, then just keep and use it, cancel it anytime before your annivesary

Ya will do. rclxms.gif

That is what I thinking of action, might cancel it before GST charge.

Thank you ya notworthy.gif

Applied for 2 different cards at 1U just now.. was surprised to find out that all they need is your IC - insert it into the KWSP machine, use thumbnail verification and they print/check your records there. I asked if my salary slip is needed, agent said no.

When was this implemented? hmm.gif
*
I have asked this kind of question to SA before, bank will know roughly what is your income earn for monthly based on the EPF report.

If yr EPF report have continuously in from your salary by monthly, obviously bank will know you are working and how much for your salary now. That why SA only need your IC to print out your report.

I Remember when walking around in shopping center where the space got CC booth, when you walk through there then SA will tell you something about promotion for this credit card, and following by "only your IC is need", sth like this...

Now so convenience for people to apply CC

Is it You already got Maybank 2Cards & OCBC Tit. the BEST Combo... ???rclxms.gif
Why suddenly U want to apply UOB One Card, Just Crurios... hmm.gif 

As said EZ Approval from UOB coz long before that, 1 of Forummer here got the card with Gross Monthly Income although His/Her EPF Submission NOT based on $2000 ($220) a month can said Now most of the Bank need EPF Submission of Income $2000 p.m baru can apply Credit Card... smile.gif
Another Reason I Said so, Recently I Got their UOB One Plat.(with CL 6k) without received Any Verification  Call from THEM... nod.gif
*
Yup, I got the best comba. biggrin.gif

Reason why I need to apply this card is because want to utilize the cask back between these three cards.

UOB one card is use for petrol and movie on weekdays (hope can get high CL for emergency purpose if necessary and there is no extra charge for this card if swip 12 times in a year)

Other thing use for OCBC on weekdays and weekends (as this is only capped cask back RM50 per month)

Amex only use on weekends (eveything if the mechines avaiable),

Somehow, will depend on the situation like as per below:

Eg: spend sth on Jusco on weekdays, will pay by Amex card instead of OCBC, as OCBC only cash back 1%, although Amex only reward point x5 but equivalent to 2.5% cash back.

Haha, to be honest, not ok for me..

That y I need another card although im not high spending, just for in case...

Few times exp before, I cannot use cc for payment due to limitation credit, need to borrow from friend or go to pay some money to bank then only can use which is inconvenience cause.

But all the spending are under financial control for sure rclxms.gif

Sigh. Got a car loan with AmBank and just received a SMS from them that my credit card is approved. I didn't even apply for it. doh.gif mad.gif Have to call and cancel before GST is charged to me.

Is this a norm for banks to do this if someone applies loan from their banks?
*
ya, same situation to me as I have housing loan with PBB, and they have provided me the credit card as well, after that the GST has charge to that card.

But in the end, they have extra charge me about the late payment as I have totally forgot the GST fee need to be pay.

Call to offset the extra charge, paid the RM50 and straight away cancel it. sweat.gif

Perhaps u can try to apply through temp booth.

Same situation with you also, I have just try to apply it after two weeks during freeze period.

Surprisingly, its was approved, but the CL that offer kinda lower a bit.

lets say my credit card limit is RM 1000... zero consumption as of today

can i pay RM 3000 into my account... then swipe RM 4000 ?? or RM 3900 ?

No, I don't think so as this is credit card, not debit card.

Only 1k can be swip when u make a purchased, unless you have request for temp credit limit increase.

I shall be publishing my third annual Credit Card Ultimate Showdown soon. And in order to have a complete and fair evaluation of credit cards in the market, I had to go do some research on new credit cards that were not reviewed by me prior to October 2013. So after some serious elimination process (as if, haha), the cards I have selected that deserve to be reviewed are the CIMB Cash Rebate Platinum MasterCard versus Citi PremierMiles American Express versus Citi Prestige MasterCard Master Elite vs. Hong Leong Bank Wise Visa vs. RHB Visa Signature and Standard Chartered Bank WorldMiles MasterCard.

And in this said article, you will also get to see the  coolest card on planet earth that is recognized throughout our universe and beyond  biggrin.gif

Prior to September 2012, many members here, e.g. ronnie and gerradling (by the way where is gerradling?), were complaining they had headaches after visiting my dark realm. After much nagging from them, I was lead to the bright white light where I started publishing all my articles at a single blog called Generations XYZ, www.generationsxyz.blogspot.com.
