You may apply for M'sian CC if you want to... All M'sian banks will accept your IRAS NoA as income proof.

I often travelling, and I intend to get a card that is giving me best benefits. Recently I applied the MBB MU Visa Infinite however the application failed. I have existing cards such as MBB2 Amex, HLB Wise, Aeon Watami and OCBC Titanium.

Any idea on how to get the MBB MU Visa Infinite easily? Or is there any other cards comparable with the MBB VI ?
*
If you have cash to spare, why not pledge FD to get the card. MBB VI CL is a min. RM40k. If you are comfortable with your FD being locked while you use the card.... This is an easier way out!

thanks for the information guys.

I checked with a maybank sales guy today and he said if you deposit rm30k (edit: into F.D.) they will issue maybank visa infinite to you no questions asked. I wonder how true this is... seems a bit low? lol
*
I can say that i pledge 40k fd for my VI. Thats the CL i got. So you are almost right biggrin.gif But i believe with time goes by, the requirement will drop. Maybe in a few years, we will have VI with 10-20k CL icon_rolleyes.gif

1. Annual Income:RM36K ~40k

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: A Must

3. Card required for: List all your needs. petrol - rm300 per month, groceries rm600~800(baby milk and home use item),  phone - rm200(digi and celcom), AIA insurance for me and 2 babies , others like dinning or purchasing online

4. Existing credit cards if any: Maybank petronas gold card , maybank dual gold card(canceled)

5. Looking at CC from: any local card with good benefit, better support lots of merchants with installment,

6. Others: Please be specific.my salary is paid to M2U, so more convince so now i stil using maybank card
*
You need a combination of cards to maximize your potential... And sad to say you have cancelled one of them. The best combination for you would be MBB2 + Hong Leong Wise Card. Your transaction on petrol, grocery and mobile could potentially earn you RM 100/ month but you have to make sure you swipe at least 10 transactions of RM 50 or more in order to get the rebate.

currently my mbb petronas gold visa is good for petrol, 8x tp on weekends and 5x on weekday. other transaction rm1 per point.

last time mbb 2 kad only rm1 per 1 tp, since i have my petronas gold 1st so i cancel my dual card.

hlbb wise card need annual fee of 160 for gold, which cant waive it.

normally i go groceries shop for milk powder twice per month , 1 transaction about rm300 more o less. but if i use hlb wise card, need to use 10 time, then i have to go shop more frequent  than usual.
*
You may try to develop this spending habit lar
Petrol once a week RM75 = 4 transactions
Grocery once a week RM 150 and try to split bills = min.4 transactions
Mobile RM200 = 2 transactions

This way, you have just earned RM100 of easy money from your 10 transactions of RM 1100 rclxms.gif

Anyone fancy a Visa Infinite CC but don't meet the requirement ? Now see this! You just need RM 60k to get it from Hong Leong.

1. Annual Income: RM25k

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: is ok as long it is worth

3. Card required for: Petrol, Cash Back/Rebate , telco & utilities bill

4. Existing credit cards if any: no

5. Looking at CC from: UOB One card or Shell Citybank Gold Card

6. Others: can pay with cimbclicks online savings account .
*
The best card for you is Maybank 2 Amex but you're short of requirement ( RM30k) . So you may choose either UOB One card or Hong Leong Wise Card. UOB Cards are easier to apply but the benefits is not as good as compare to Wise card. Wise Card , on the other hand, provides CB of 10% from your 2 chosen categories + Mobile but you have to make 10 tranx. of min. RM 50 to activate the payout!

1. Annual Income: RM31k ( GROSS Salary ), monhly spending around 1.5k, but weekdays is less than RM200/month besides food.

2. Free Lifetime Annual Fee: Must or very easy condition via swipes

3. Card required for: weekday use, increase credit limit

4. Existing credit cards if any: MMB2

5. Looking at CC from: No idea at the moment...

6. Others: wont be use frequently unless emergency. Just want to increase credit limit.

To be honest, there ain't any card which is better to carry around than your MBB2. My recommendation is as below

Card type: Hong Leong Essential Card

Annual Fee: RM100 waived with 12 transactions/year

Benefit: 1% unlimited cashback, 2% cash advance fee

If you're interested in applying for MBB2 and you have some cash to spare MBB might actually approve you provided you pledge RM5k in FD with them.

You are recommended to get Maybank 2 Cards. The advantage of this card is its free for life & 8.88% interest p.a.
Whenever you spend on the AMEX card, you will earn 5x Treatspoint for every ringgit except for transaction on government, insurance and education where you will earn 2x points. Besides that , for transaction on weekend you will get 5% cashback , up to RM50 only per month. If you mostly do your petro, grocery, shopping and bills payment on weekend, this is the card to get.

QUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ May 10 2014, 04:59 PM)
I'm torn.

Because the UOB One Card does provide more cashback. I think this has an annual fee of RM68 or FREE for 60 transactions per year (average 5 per month).

Whereas the Maybank one provides only 5% for weekend transactions, which is capped at RM50 per month, meaning the max cashback spending I'd make is RM1000 a month (for CC-able transactions).

Of course to fully utilise the Maybank option, id have to make it a habit of spending on weekends.
So yea, I'm a little undecided between these 2.  hmm.gif

Based on your info, i'm pretty much sure MBB will not easily approve your application. UOB, on the other hand is more lenient in approving cards.... Esp. newcomer. Get a UOB card first. And use your card responsibly and be a good paymaster. By early 2015, you will have a nice ccris report to impress MBB, then thats the time you apply.

please advice me on this scenario.

I want to buy a things worth 3K. I don't have a credit card, so apply for the credit card maybank kard for example to buy that 3K things with 0% instalment plans. I settle for the instalment about 6 months, then terminated the credit card. Is that any penalty charge for terminated the card?

is it good ways to buy that 3K thing or not? don't tell me to save money first, then buy, because that 3k things is urgent to be bought.

advise on me please. Thanks.
*
There will not be any fee for credit card termination. As long as you does not want to use your card anymore, you are free to cancel it. As for your intended purchases, please take note that even your card may be approved, you may not have enough credit limit to match your item price. If your limit is less than 4k, your installment plan might not be allowed ! In that case, your card will be an white elephant ! So you better be careful.

Thanks for replying. I heard the max limit for credit cards usage is triple over gross salary/month. If my salary is 2.5k per months (meaning the max limit is 2.5 x 3 = 7.5k), is it okay for me to use the credit card with that purposes?
*
For those earning <36k, CL is max. 2x . First timer even less !
