BT back and forth yes, I did that for a while already.
Infact i used the zero fees BT to make PBB pay 10k and another 15k to Aeon Watami in a period of 2 weeks, and PBB still approved that. Thinking RHB 0% BT offer was closing on 30.6.14, I BT another RM7+k credit from RHB to Watami as well.
Ended up i "overpay" (using money from PBB and RHB) Aeon Watami by quite a big sum. I was hoping that overpayment can increase my limits for more BTs from other cards to Watami, but alas, it was not allowed. That officer told me i already used up all the 80% of my CL, the "over payment" made cannot used to do more BT!!
I didnt care, went ahead and still submitted more BTs applications.
And true enough my subsequent 2 BTs from MBB Amex and Citibank cc to Watami were rejected
I argued in that case i want my money back, but they asked about details of the payment which i could not answer.
They want to know how payment was made, cheque number, date, amount etc etc....imagine the trouble to call PBB and RHB to get those details.
But still got it done after some time, by then my next statement for Watami came and the amount was RM15+k, deducted that for sure, not enough, Aeon retained another RM1400+ (for upto date payment ,i supposed), and finally i got a refund of RM5+k. Yeah still free money advance RM5000+ from the bank (RHB to be exact)!
Yes you do get points for the "early settlement", i saw they gave me 15945 points for that statement which showed total current balance =RM0.
Lesson to learn:
1) dont over pay thinking you can use it to increase your BT limit if you have achieved max 80% CL
2)Over doing BT and have "over payment" with Watami - you can demand for refund. They charged me RM2.00 for IBG to CIMB SA.
Latest update: Just last week i summitted another BT (RM4500 from MBB AMex) to Watami and it was approved! I checked my total BTs amount with watami and my total BT instalments paid till that date, deduct that = my outstanding unpaid BT instalments. That amount was still more than 80% of my CL . ?Some error somewhere with Watami becos they approved my BT..Who cares, just submit more BTs till they are rejected, no harm trying.
So is there any RM30 "early settlement" fee imposed as stated in AEON's website- Fees and Charges Information?
RM30 per request. "
