yah, his HLB Essential Visa would earn him more than his MBB 2 Visa.

RM9 for two tickets but jjsia got his tickets really cheap.

And Bros, the Visa offer is for any class.

Thanks for reporting the above valuable info.

Above together with zenquix's hard work posted earlier:

Like zenquix has shown, even if you use your MBB 2 AMEX on weekends to deposit into paypal, after taking into consideration the conversion fee/rate for agoda bookings purpose, the Maybank Visa or MasterCard is still better.

Conclusion - use you Visa or MasterCard when you book direct with agoda.com-maybank promo to get 6% discount.

And click here to my article My Credit Cards offer Exclusive Discount for Agoda Online Hotel Room Reservations where I have presented step by step instructions on how to book your room with Agoda using your Maybank Visa or MasterCard to enjoy 6% discount.

Going to post above in Post#3 for others to refer in the future and not make the mistake of using the MBB 2 Amex hoping to get 5% cash back.

Thanks for the info. But many members of LYN nowadays reporting they cancelling their CIMB cards, hahaha.

The Hotelclub.com/cimb is applicable to all CIMB Visa Cards and not the VS only.

I just used my CIMB Visa Infinite to check the rates for Mandarin Orchard, Marina Bay Sands and Hard Rock Sentosa and Agoda rates before the 6% discount are lower compared to HotelClub/Cimb promo rates for October 2012. However, for SG hotels, usually I book directly with them as I find their rates cheaper.

I then check for Melbourne Hotels and some of the rates offered by HotelClub/CIMB are cheaper than Agoda.com rates before and after MBB 6% discount. And for some hotels, agoda cheaper after 6% discount with MBB. I also noted that agoda offers more hotels compared to hotelclub.

So, I guess it depends on the hotel and period one is booking. And if one has CIMB Visa card, make sense to compare hotelclub rates with agoda.com, booking.com and others online booking sites to find the best deals and of course always check the hotel website too.

Bro, from your experience, are you referring to Express AutoPay or Online Payment or both?

And please lah do not post all in CAPS, kind of annoying.

Bro, of course you are eligible to apply if you are earning >RM24K and age 21 years and above.

If you are in Klang Valley, what you should do is:

1. Read Post#1, look for the 60 Minutes image. Below it - copy down the Maybankard Centre 1U telephone number.
2. Call them and ask besides you 3 months payslip do you need to begin along any other documents.
3. Go to Maybankard Centre 1U, submit your form, and after about an hour or so, you will know the final outcome

If you not in Klang Valley, just download the application form via online. Read post#1 or go to MBB website and at MBB 2 Cards page, there is also a link to download the form and a number to call.

Wah, so long ar? Thanks for the info.

1000 TP approximately RM5, cheaper that going to 1U for on the spot redemption. Or if you consider the car park ticket, not much diff

Bro, better check MBB website to see what you can redeem on the spot at KLCC. And also there is a risk that they have no stock for the cash voucher you want, so end up wasting the LRT fare too

Plat got bragging rights, hahaha. It's so common lah. Some more if people ask what is your credit limit and you answer RMx amount, the guy then tells you his Gold Card CL is higher than yours, malu lah, hahaha. You want bragging rights, you got to be crazy like me

My son also got MBB 2 Plat, MBB VI, DA WMC but all supp from me, so no bragging rights, hahaha.

The only people who has bragging right as far as Credit Cards are concerned are those with AMEX Platinum Charge Card and CIMB Enrich World MasterCard Oh I forgot, one member here has the AMEX Black Charge Card made from real Titanium where he bought a sports car with it, that's true bragging rights

The question is not if the CL is average, high or low... the question is - Is it enough for you?

Because you never read Page#1. Go read Post#3.

since you are into watches, then RM20K definitely not enough for you

And MBB 2 AMEX earns you better returns than your Citibank.

As for asking higher credit limit, no harm requesting. Worst scenario they will say need certain period before you can request for increase. But if you need more than RM20K, you can ask for temporary CL increase and no need to submit any documents.

Anyway, better check if Hour Glass will give you the same discount rate if you use AMEX.

Yah, someone reported same problem recently. You may also want to check this thread. But good thing is you receive the SMS alert. Anyway, do call up CS and request that you want the SMS Default Value set to RM1.

you should be happy, 60 days interest free loan

You no need to "activate" for overseas usage but it is a good practice to inform your card issuer the period you are overseas so that they do not block your card in the event they cannot verify with you your transaction.

Next time go to Maybankard Centre (KLCC or 1U) for matters relating to credit cards.

ya lah, why people think Platinum big deal? Earn RM36K/year already can get Platinum nowadays.

hahaha, shiok sendiri I agree, but not bragging rights

you can read from post#1128 onwards. Basically it's for online bookings only and the Visa discount will be shown at the check out page.
