Want to ask, recently I applied for credit card. Got my card already (first time user  laugh.gif ). So I went to petronas today to pump petrol using the card. My question is how do I set the fixed amount I want to pump instead of full tank?

I put the card in, verify, take out, put mesra card in & take out then it ask me to start fueling. It never prompt me any option for my desire amount  hmm.gif Then the receipt charge me RM13x (but the pump said RM41, so I am guessing they will refund the balance later) rclxub.gif
*
the fixed amount need to be set at another keypad at the machine (not the same with cc keypad).

are you sure the receipt belongs to you or the person before you?

I see, didnt know that.

Umm not so sure, left the receipt in my car. Why would it be someone else receipt? Shouldn't it be mine since after I fill only it print the receipt? Not so sure, first time paying using the pump, normally I just pay by cash  laugh.gif  hmm.gif
*
some people forgotten to take their receipt and the next person didn't realise there's a receipt there before start pumping. after finished pumping they thought the receipt was theirs. not sure whether it's your case.

it's better for you to check the cc details on the receipt and call the cs to lodge a dispute as soon as possible (if the receipt really belongs to you). perhaps you still can get a refund after their investigation. if you do nothing, you will not receive any refund if you only pump rm41 but the receipt shows rm130.

I read at the terms and condition for the OCBC Titanium 1% unlimited cash back.

It says that it is strictly for personal use only.

So... If I got a company, and I use my credit card to pay my company utilities bills, then I am not entitled for cash rebate?

can, no problem...

Maybe that amount you are paying is little.

Let's say I open a small iron smelting plant.. Electricity will be anyway like RM50k a month.
So use cash back card to pay, and get 1% rebate from it every month? If that is the recurrent event, will the bank do something on it? Like cancel my cash rebate?

1% cash rebate, That is a good handsome RM500.. Not big not small, but is good to makan also

you may always call to ask first before applying. nod.gif

Need some advice on how to utilize my cc. Do not know how to fully utilize it. Holding a OCBC world mastercard (1.2% cash back unlimited) and Maybank petronas platinum visa card (points). Both cl is almost the same where Maybank has higher cl.

Which is should I focus on using the most? I always confuse. Cashback or points would be better.

Maybank - http://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb_info/m2u/p...sonal/CRD-Cards

if you pump at petronas, use your mbb petronas card. other than that, use your ocbc world.

According to my friend who works at RHB Bank, due to the high volume of application they get everyday, they will only pick a few applicants randomly to call to verify employment details.

how was the ratio like? 10:1? call 1 in every 10 applications? more or less than this?

what he meant is once your cc is approved you need to pay rm50 for the gst although you did not activate it.
yes, you will receive statement stating the rm50 gst charge for the first month.
but following months if there is no transaction, some banks don't send statement.

nope, its almost 2 years and i felt like wanna cancel it. if kenot then just cancel the card i think...

of course can cancel anytime no problem.
what i mean about the trial period is that if you cancel within that period, you don't have to pay anything. but since it's already 2 years so just cancel it if you no longer needed it.

Hi, wanna ask, for Public bank platinum visa credit card, did anyone knows starting from second year, how to waive the annual fee? it stated there can waive with 12-swipes but is there any min amount? can anyone help to verify this? Thanks in advance.
*
as long as it doesn't state the min amount, you can just swipe any amount x 12 times.
tip: use it at automated fuel dispenser (petrol station) at any amount you like (even at 10sen per transaction).

not sure which bank and which cc you are using.
actually some bank can be used in oversea without needing to call first while some need to call first.
it's better to inform to prevent your cc blocked, no harm doing that.

I am wondering if someone can help me out. I am in a unique position in the sense that I have a long term independent contract with my Malaysian employer. Because of the nature of the contract we've agreed not to pay EPF. I'm not planning to retire in Malaysia anyways.

I invoice them every month and get my wages credited to Maybank account. For this particular income, it is lower than LHDN's requirement for income tax so I don't pay any. My other income are offshore, so I don't pay income tax either.

My rental is paid for by my employer but the amount is deducted from the salary that is credited to my account. I just spoke to a Maybank rep who told me that when they check my bank activity, it doesn't qualify me for the card that I was enquiring for. So I told her I can get my employer to credit the full amount of my salary to my bank account for 3 months just to prove to them that my salary is above the minimum requirements for the card. Besides I have a service contract and payment slips that clearly states the full amount of my salary before my rental is deducted.

I can't read the rep's mind but by her tone, I can tell she has already disqualified me and she is just sending me the application forms to get me off the phone.

Are there any banks who would consider applications of people in my situation? I mostly freelance, so I have multiple sources of income but locally, my non-EPF and non-taxable income is credited after deducting my rental that is paid for by my employer. If need be, I can ask my employer to transfer me my full salary just for 3 - 6 months to prove to banks of my actual salary but do I really need to go through all that hassle? Why won't salary slips and service contracts be enough as proof of my disposable income?

I am wondering if anybody else is in my situation and how to go about applying for a credit card if we're stuck in our shoes?

Okie dokie.

Okay, last question, if you don't mind, because my friend just brought this up to me. He said that he also had a similar experience with Maybank's rep but it could be a language barrier thing. He said after getting his friend to speak with the rep in melei, problem solved.

The rep I spoke to had a melei sounding name but I spoke in English. When I had to repeat myself a couple of times, I tried to explain my situation in melei but when she noticed I was struggling, she spoke in English. So yah, I think chicken and ducks talking to each other would be laughing at us!

Can I just ask, if you're calling bank's customer service for enquiries, is it better to be speaking in melei? Any bank with non-melei speaking customer service? I am just worried my melei is not fluent enough to explain my income situation.
*
it is best to speak in the language you are familiar with. as a customer, they need to suit to your needs. and of course, if you can speak several languages fluently, then it is better to use the language that the other party can understand (you suit to them). by right, a customer service officer must at least master both english and bm languages.

Hi. I would like to ask simple question. I would like to purchase personal insurance for myself. I would like to pay it using cc. My agent suggested to me, pay using easy pay for 1 year.

Lets say monthly cost for insurance is RM200. 1 year equal to RM2400.

Is there any hidden cost if using easy pay? Can I really pay RM200/month like normal without additional cost?

Thx.
*
usually if you pay yearly, your premium is lower. if your insurance monthly is rm200, then your yearly is lower than rm2,400. so it's better to pay yearly.

Hey guys, a few noob questions:

1) Do I have to open a bank account with the bank if I'm applying for one of their credit cards?

2) With cash back credit cards, how is the cash actually given to the card holder? Is it transferred into the holder's preferred account or does it become a discount on the amount that has to be paid the following month?

Thanks.
*
1) no need
2) it deduct from your statement

Sorry for double posting, but another question just popped into my mind.

Does cancelling a credit card reflect badly on one's credit rating? Assume that I always pay my bills on time, no late payment charges and no interest fees imposed.

no, not affecting your credit rating.
