What about the SST?
I think they didnt mention in the link above.
I was charged earlier this year for MACH SST.

Bright side, mach signature is getting converted to VI. That's an "upgrade" in visa tier.

Me too. Now only use Citibank cc 10% for dinning expenses but easy hit quote (max CB RM10 only)

when you get charged earlier this year, you need to contact HLB to get waiver. you can try your luck if you could still get it now.

mine was charged last month, contacted HLB and the agent waived it without conditions, reflected in acc within 3 days

was happy and surprised coz usually you need to spend RMxx to get waiver. turns out it was a bad news - cc discontinued....

Currently holding Wise, AA, n MACH card. What would be a good card in terms of benefits/cb to replace MACH when it is terminated.

I'm still waiting for my SST offset after transacting x6 as offered by CS. Haiz... don't know how now...

As for the replacement card...
"... 3-year Annual Fee Waiver when customers activate their new card by 30 September 2020."

Means still need to pay SST for new card?

Maybe I didnt make myself clear.
Actually what I meant was MACH will be replace by WISE. But I've paid for SST in maybe March.
Then this month, after I get the WISE, I need pay SST again?

This is my concern as well.

i see, SST for all cc is compulsory, it's a new card after all, but i believe they will get you waiver, once u fulfilled the conditions.

btw, why didn't you asked for waiver in March for your Mach?

I'm holding same set like yours. Wonder if they will still send a new Wise? Original Wise AF cannot be waived but new Wise with 3 years waiver, should I cancel my existing Wise and wait for new Wise?

Really? Where can I read about this? If this is the case, I will accept it.
Today received SMS from HLB regarding MACH's discontinuation effective 1st Sept...

fruitie from their official link

Thanks! In that case, I will accept it since I know Wise's AF is not waivable. I will keep it for 3 years then or when I find it no purpose.

I didnt know can ask for SST waiver...

Not waiver. You cannot waive SST, banks can only give rebate.

Got it.

I've just call the call center.
So the SST will be charge again after activating, and they can discuss on the rebate.
Have some installment on the card, CS mention that it will be transfer to the new card.
If I'm not interested with the new card, then will need to settle the balance.

anymore good card that can get the 5% cashback for dinning?

sad this is discontinued soon

As per tnc, ur existing instalment will still ongoing until u fully settle.. no need to settle the instalment now.


What will happen to the existing/active Installment Plan(s) I have?
A: Your Installment Plan(s) will still be active until you fully settle the outstanding balance but you cannot use your existing card effective 1 September 2020.

Alamak I just got my Wise card on 7July digital day hoping to get the rm170 cb. So my Mach would be replaced with something else? But the 3 year AF waiver is really good.

this is the sms i got today. anyone else got a different sms?

HLB call agent told me there are 2 diff sms being sent out
1. like mine which didn't mentioned about replacement card - no new card will be sent to me
2. another one got mention about replacement card - the mentioned card will be sent to you

Mine is the same SMS as yours. I do have an existing HLB AA Plat though.
