those who always ask about cash advance maybe interested with this card. You can withdraw 50% of your limit with the cost of RM 10 service fees without any interest up to 55 days. If you exceed that 55 days no interest will be levied however you will not be able to use the card until full payment is made

Wah, what you mentioned above is really a good offer. Looks like a lot of members here going to sign up for it.

Yes, this is  a really good card for cash advance and you can park the money elsewhere. But they will not entertain for GST and annual fee waiver. They are very strict with credit limit, someone who have 100k salary without many cards also only managed to get their classic card with 7k limit only. I hope my point about the late payment should not be treated as something that everyone must do because the officer said they will terminate the card straight away if the late payment exceed certain period (I also hope no one will do this otherwise bank might review this product).

Ok let's see, assume one get CL 10K. So can get cash RM5K. Deposit into FD 4% for 2 months, get interest about RM33. Less GST, Annual Fee and RM10 service charge, still rugi about RM97.

To break even need CL about RM30K.

RM 10 feeĀ  is per withdrawal, normally RM 1500 is the max. if you need to withdraw 4.5 k that means RM 30 service fee. but I heard from my friend you can withdraw over the counter for free without fee (haven't tried this yet)

Aiyah, why you never mention earlier.

So based on above new info, if need to pay back in 55 days, the withdrawal fee works out to be minimum approximately 4% interest p.a.. But if no fee over the counter, then different story.

Let's assume that one does pay if full every 2 months and can withdraw again RM4.5K the next day (assume max CL RM10K again), one can earn like RM202.50 a year (based on RM4500 @ 5% interest in FD). Need to increase profit rate to more than 4% else no diff. Any investment earning less than 4% p.a. rugi straight away.

So RM202.50 - (RM30 fee x 6 times withdrawal a year) = RM22.5 . Still rugi RM97.5 after considering RM50 GST and RM70 annual fee.

But if no withdrawal fee over the counter like your friend said, RM202.50 - RM120 = RM82.50 profit/year or RM6.88/month smile.gif
