All banks love customers that have debts with the ability to repay them - that's how they make money  laugh.gif

But, needing 67000 points to redeem RM100 cash voucher, that's ridiculous. I bet those "loyal" to SCB and have been "promoting" SCB here at LYN for the last few years and not wining any of their contest must be pissed off big time.

in no time, SCB will loose tons of customers and not many will want their credit cards. You see, people with debt also want to benefit from using their cards, haha. So might as well go with other cards giving lower interest rate (e.g. MBB 2 AMEX) and pay less in interest and at the same time get to earn cash vouchers with their card usage.

As for new customers, with people like us here sharing with others the danger of having a credit card and the benefits we get from various cards, soon, no one would want SCB credit cards, hahaha

I'm not a fan of SCB and I guess I made the right move when I cancelled my Standard Chartered Bank Visa Infinite early this year.

Should I use RM250 cashback or just cancel it asap?

you should make sure the GST is offset before cancelling the card.
*
It is.. Got RM300 cashback, only RM250 usable after deducted with GST. smile.gif

QUOTE(yhtan @ Dec 14 2012, 05:22 PM)
why feel bad? GST already offset against the RM300 cash back, use it and cancel it within one year period will do

Good to know that the GST has been taken care off.

I guess you must be the only person here in SCB thread that applied for the SCB card not because you are "greedy" and after the FREE Cash laugh.gif  and best of all willing to throw away FREE Money notworthy.gif I guess the saying Easy Come Easy Go applies in your case, haha.

And by the way, just go apply online or walk into a OCBC Branch instead of relying on strangers and giving them your personal details. I can tell you, there are many con men here in LYN Forum and spammers too  wink.gif

And I just published my article titled Standard Chartered Banks Credit Card Points Redemption Is Simply Ridiculous.
*
Yeah, after thinking for like 3 days, it will be very bad of me to use free money like that and cancel the card later. Easy come, easy go. wink.gif Even the CS operator was shocked by my choice this evening.

Conmen?
Ok, maybe will apply online. Any nearest branch of OCBC around Shah Alam, Setia Alam and Klang?

Tambah a bit, will get 1TB external harddisk brows.gif
Or makan besar at Tony Romas, ribs drool.gif But seriously. I just want to cancel it.
I was thinking, if I use that 250, they will persuade me to keep the card.

I already gave them a call last time. They said have to wait around 3 days for CS to call back and cinfirm the closing of my credit card account.
Waited but nobody calls. So I fax them a letter.

Just now I called, I have successfully closed and cancelled my CC. wink.gif

No retenntion offer provided ?

They did ask me to stay. I insisted on cancelling it. My account was closed on Dec 28th, and I received the first and final statement last few days.

QUOTE(mokkf82 @ Jan 2 2013, 02:48 PM)
I think it's difficult to aspect anything from them with the massive promotion SC had right now. They forget about us eventually.
Anyway, if you cancel at branch. It will be happened instantly. But full cancellation can only be done after 5 working days.
(Full cancelation means the records will be cleared in on- line acc as well)

You cancelled the card? wink.gif

QUOTE(HaoYuan @ Jan 15 2013, 11:20 PM)
Hi any term and condition after i used the RM300 cash back and want to terminate? i request for terminate then get call from SCB that they not allow me to terminate due to i already used the RM300 cash back, only can terminate after one year.

Which is why I rather not spending a cent of the cashback.
They can't give excuse to not to accept my cancellation.

i wonder how many ppl go to cancel their STD CC because of the change of the perks/benefits
my card is inside my drawer for more than 4 months, and im sure im going to cancel it by end of year before the GST
*
I canceled it after 1 week.. Didn't touch the cashback too. smile.gif

QUOTE(Barricade @ Feb 27 2013, 10:57 PM)
Finally got all my credit cards cancelled. I called the bank and said that I've lost all my cards and ask them to cancel immediately. If they send me replacement cards I will not activate them. Problem solved. Bye bye standard chartered forever.

How creative, I should have thought so.
