tonight i have received sms'es from cimb regarding transactions with BLIZZARD ENT*ONL STORE which i never did. is it the starcraft developer?

7 transaction within 15 minutes, which total amount is usd280.

i have googled, this fraud is worldwide since few years back,

so i've called, they already block my card. will send a new one with dispute form, and said will request the company to do reversal and take about 1 month plus to investigate

should i lodge police report? what is your advise?

just fill up the dispute form and wait
police report not reqiured

Just a question. Like to qualify for annual fees waiver I need to swipe a certain amount of time or spend a minimum. Is online purchases considered as 'swiping'?

which card? online purchases are considered as swiping

any cards which are both free for life without annual fees and also GST absorb yearly?

Wow, want both is a bit tough bro. Closest is Maybank2Card

Hi sifus, I would like to ask for the Maybank Visa Infinite Card it stated that it can use the private banking centre with unparalleled services and personalised attention. Means what facilities can we use?

Bro, you got couple thousand ringgit to deposit or purchase banks product, any bank also will give you personalized service All the so called Private/Premier/Privilege/Priority Banking is just a marketing strategy where they will assign so called Relationship Managers to push banks products. However, no MBB Private Banking Relationship Manager will be assigned to MBB VI card holders so don't expect any personalized service. However, with the MBB VI, you can go to the Private Banking counters/tellers instead of going to the general hall, but don't expect everyone in all MBB branches (that have Private Banking facilities) to know that.. some may tell you that you are nor eligible to use the Private Banking counters.

Get the Maybank Visa Infinite if you do spend substantial amount overseas to earn 5X TP with every Ringgit spent and superb conversion of reward points to Enrich Miles. These two said benefits makes the MBB Visa Infinite unparalleled to any other cards out there.

hi guys, regards to public bank card, if i go international travel and swipe, is it rm10 needed for the transaction fee per swipe?

No, it is based on the currency exchange rate and bank admin fee. Refer here for more info:

Hi Guys, just wanted to share that when I recently cancelled my Public Bank Credit Card and Hong Leong Platinum Credit Card, both companies offered me a RM50 Cash Rebate to offset my GST in order to retain my Card.

As I already have other Cards and hardly use the above 2-cards, I did not take up their offer.

But to those who do use their Cards, just call up do insist that they give you the RM50 cash rebate.

actually someone suggested that we should request more than rm50, for example rm100 or rm150, because a mere rm50 does not benefit us as it goes straight to the gst.
and that person actually did receive rm100 or rm150 from the bank (standchart if not mistaken).

I have also cancelled my Stan Chart Card and the CS said that the Retention Dept will call me back. Perhaps I will try that.

anybody know where can i apply for unionpay credit card in kl?
