I) YES Free Power Bank
II) the $50 GST will Credit Back to Your Account in 3 Months.... After U have Perform 3x Swipes Within 60 days from the CC Approval Date
III) UOB Usually Giving 2 Years Annual Fee Waiver to NEW Signup
IV) There will be No GST Charge to You Before Your CC Anniversary Date...
If Cancel the CC U May have to Wait 6-12 Months (Cooling Period) before U can Apply With the Same Bank Again

Why do we get GST cash back 3 months from approval? We will be charged GST the moment we sign up for credit card? I thought you'll only be charged after one year? Then why do we get the cashback just 3 months after getting the card?

Also, it was according to this post that the GST can be waived...

ya, gst is upfront for 1st year.

this promo still valid?

Annual Fee Can be Waive NOT GST (Government Service Tax)
GST is charged once the card is approved and not necessarily activated or not. According to custom department, only those renewed card but cancelled within 3 months and not use the new card is eligible not to pay GST.
GST CAN NOT be Waive... It's the Bank who Collect It from CC Holder on Behalf for Government & the Bank have to Korek Its Own $$$ to Pay GST for a NEW SIGNUP like U on the 1st Year...

So now I think I fully understood, for new signup annual fee will be waived for 2 years and RM50 of GST charged upon application will be cashed back after three months, am I right?

You're Rite...
Usually, UOB will Credit Back the GST to You on Your 3rd CC Statement...

After reading this, personally feel OCBC more sincere to keep long term customer, as with 12/24 swipe per year, no annual fee. Cumulative RM10k spent on card, RM50 government tax will refund. Should UOB follow this if they looking for long term royal customer...mmm...

----------

Annual fee will be waived perpetually with minimum cumulative 60 transactions per year
for UOB ONE Classic Card/ 12 transactions and cumulative RM36,000 spend per year for UOB ONE Platinum Card

Do check out the new terms for OCBC, no more 10k annual bonus

Do check out the new terms for OCBC, no more 10k annual bonus

Thank you, never know they revised the TnC.
Anyway, I'm okay to pay RM50 government tax, since they still spell out clearly the criteria for annual fee, Free for life.
UOB's criteria for free annual fee look like only mean for big big spender.

Will I still be charged service tax if my card is free-for-life?
Yes, the service tax is still chargeable.


If I cancel my credit card before the card anniversary date, would I be charged the service tax?
The service tax will not be imposed on card cancelled before the card's anniversary date.
However, it is encouraged that you cancel the card at least 2 weeks before the card's anniversary date to ensure that the service tax will not be billed to your card account.


Can the service tax be waived?
Just like any other service tax imposed by and payable to the Malaysian Government, we are unable to waive this amount.

Annual Fee Can be Waive but NOT GST (Government Service Tax)
GST is charged once the card is approved and not necessarily activated or not. According to custom department, only those renewed card but cancelled within 3 months and not use the new card is eligible not to pay GST.

GST CAN NOT be Waive... It's the Bank who Collect It from CC Holder on Behalf for Government

U have to Threat them with Cancellation of Your CC Maybe the Bank will Offer GST Waiver...

Not sure, i think only payment over counter

Mine already kena charged GST and when i called they say cant waive.
And the best part is, they asked me all the verify questions only tell me.

goddammit if cant waive just tell me dun waste my 5 minutes answering stupid questions

60x swipe is reasonable to meet.
For ONE platinum, it need cumulative 36k spend per year.. sound not reasonable, just to waive AnnualFee.

12 transactions and cumulative RM36,000 spend per year for UOB ONE Platinum Card

Funny... They Just Waive the GST (2014) + 5 Years Annual Fees for Lady's Plat...
When I Call-in Recently to Cancel the Lady Plat. (Seldom Used) just Keep Only One Platinum

Probably due to the GST havent charge yet?
Last year i also called in to cancel before the GST and they offer me waiver for 6x swipe.

But this year i forgotten and only found it when its already charged, plus late payment and interest for that GST (i already cleared the card for backup only).

I will try to call again and instead asking them to waive i would just say i want to cancel, and when asked why i will just say due to the GST dont waive.

Anyone here holding UOB Infinite card? Doesn't seem to be any good eh...
