Some banks will charge the GST once the card is issued. In this case, need to check what is the practice by RHB or what is the guideline by BNM. Personally, I always consider that GST will be charged, regardless whether it is activated or not.

The major concern here is actually on the card activation, and this certainly need to be investigated as it amounts to fraud. I would strongly pursue this issue and direct go to BNM.

add: The card activation procedure for RHB is the most lengthy compared to most of my other cards by the way.

Very Disappointed with RHB !!!!
Now, I get hands on experience with "Frustration w RHB CC" as per the subject of this Thread.
18/7/13 Applied RHB Signature thru RHB Branch
Told the officer I wanted to do BT and get the rm150 rebate under the their new promo, so submitted all docs required. Was to to submit the BT forms and BT docs later.
1/8/13 Card got approved.
5/8/13 Received the card
16/8/13 Called RHB cc to enquire how to do the 6mths 0% BT
This is when "hell" start   
Was told that I am supposed to submit my all my BT forms and Docs when "applying" the new CC.
My question is,
If their application will take 7-14 working days to be approved,
Thereafter will take another 7-14 working days to process the BT.
This will way overshoot the 20 days interest free period given.
Their processing time just doesn't make sense, how to work???
Their answer is its already in the "Terms and Condition"

So, I told the CS if no BT, then pls cancel the card since thats the main reason i applied the card, the CS told me, to cancel the card need 7-14 working days, their CS in charge will call me for that.     

There you go, the most "efficient" bank In M'sia, maybe in Southeast Asia !!!    

Anyone could advise, for inactivated card, do I need to pay the RM50 GOV tax?

thanks man, what I meant is newly applied and not activated cards, I suppose EVO RHB is not a cashback card?

what is the other cc? as i know, rhb practise to send 2 cards even u applied 1 card..may be is no agent and it is bank to do that

Anyone knows how can we appeal for gov tax and annual fee waiver?

Is it true that in order to cancel RHB credit card would need 14 working days to process?

I have been waiting more than 3 weeks but no one called me also. The service is really so lousy..

told by who? this is intriguing.

he said now rhb different already. last time also not as easy to swipe just 3x to waive both af and gst. and i double triple confirmed with him about the entry to ppl can use up all at one go. he confirmed it by saying that other banks cannot but rhb can because he already tried himself. and he said the feature is like this because many don't have the chance to travel so often. so if can use 4x for once or 2x for twice will be more attractive.

he said rhb had more than 300k users cancelled their cc in the past few years. so they are worry to lose more customers and will be more than happy to maintain the existing while growing new customers.

ps: why not allow your wife to enter while you stay outside that time? gentleman ma hehe...
