means if I withdraw 1k today, the interest will be charged everyday until I pay up the full amount of 1k + interest?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, 18% p/a daily compounded interest on top of the withdrawal charge.

any idea is there anything called cash merchant register under cash payment but can make payment through VISA/MASTERCARD. in another word, we use our credit card to make purchase through online and the bank categorise the payment as cash advance because the merchant is register under cash type. is there such thing? pls advise. this is what the bank told me when i complain there is a cash advance fees of rm20.

thanks

Who is the merchant? Casino or gambling-related?

You probably have a good case, this doesn't look like a site which qualifies under the standard cash advance category. But it is possible you might just be charged cross-border transaction fees (some banks do this even on normal retail transactions). I suggest you go ahead with the dispute and see how.

Based on what you shared, it appears like Genting is the one with the most fault here. But this is not so much a credit card issue but rather more like the cashier swiped the wrong way and did not resolve the mistake in the best possible way.

Not yet 30k.  But cannot afford to pay already. So what will the bank do?
*
Doesn't matter the starting amount, the interest charged will eventually cause the balance owed to exceed RM30K and that's when the bank will initiate bankruptcy proceedings (assuming you aren't already bankrupt at that time).

Hi, i want to ask about the card interest rate for new card member. I just take public bank credit card for few month and it charge me 18% interest rate per annum even though i didn't make any late payment before. When i call to ask PB customer service, they reply me that every their new card member is charge 18% interest rate per annum until their management review and do credit checking on the account, then only it will reduce to 15% interest rate per annum. I did not found any statement or clarification like this at their website or card product disclosure. Is this true and fair?
*
This is correct. Read the T&C or product statement closely and you will notice it says something like prompt minimum payments 12/12 months to get the Tier 1 (usually 15%) rate. Since you are new to the credit card, e.g. on the 3rd month, you can only meet maximum 3/12 months of prompt minimum payments, so how can you possibly qualify for Tier 1 rate?

HSBC is really bull shitting me! What 24 hours telebanking is HSBC talking about? I am pissed off big time. Not only that, I did not even get to speak to a real human being. I mean, it is common that most banks have human being late at night or early in the morning to attend to stolen/lost credit cards and nothing else; but, at least I get to speak to another fellow human being where they will advise me to call back.
*
I think telebanking means phone banking and not the CS is available 24/7. I think most banks in MY have cut 24/7 phone CS. AFAIK only MBB still have this.

If you press the lost cards option, I'm sure you will speak to someone but if you're not calling about lost cards, they will decline to help you.

Your debt cannot be used to pay another debt. Only your asset can be used to pay another debt. How you got this asset (savings, borrowings, etc) is another matter.

Set your withdrawal limit as high as possible and withdraw money as many times as needed from the ATM at the branch you are doing your business. Another option is IBG with RM10K limit per day.

About few months ago, my friends and I went to a coffee shop in Ampang to have some drinks.
All in total RM32+. My friend give the credit card but the waitress (I think Myanmar) say kenot as the restaurant only accept above RM40 for credit card usage.
(I saw a small signboard on the restaurant's glass wall stating so.)

My friend black face & immediately shoot the waitress. "What bull**** is this!? Call your manager!"
So he say restaurant cannot do so, if he report to VISA/Mastercard, they will take away the credit card machine.

So waitress cannot handle my friend, had to call manager. So talk to manager, manager firstly say the same thing. So my friend shoot her also.
"Look, don't blame me if next week you don't have your credit card machine anymore."

So manager also takut aldy, took his credit card. Surprisingly came back with credit card accepted. Friend sign while the manager apologize "Sorry ah, the waitress don't know. Next time I will teach them properly. It's our fault"

I was amazed. Another friend of us is a senior internal auditor also did not know about this.

Tl;dr So, does the restaurant* has the right to reject customer based on the level of spending? Let's say below RM50, restaurant don't accept them?

Edit: typo error

You can swipe more or less any amount (even 1 sen) on credit card machine. However, since CC isn't legal tender, any merchant have a right not to accept payment using CC.

While there is an MC/Visa rule about not allowing merchants to impose minimum spend, just like additional charges for CC payments, good luck to you actually having the merchant's card facilities revoked.

CC Banks also not honest.
CIMB has promo on KFC but
some KFC refuse to offer promo.

Feedback to CIMB also deaf ears.

This is more of a KFC issue. They want to run promos but they don't really want to ensure that the terminals are available on all counters and functioning and their staff actually knows how to use the terminals.

After my credit card fraud case, yesterday my CIMB DEBIT card has been fraud also..
The debit card I never use for online purchase and never swipe to buy things..this is saving account and its ONLY for saving..

Really fed up with this world..so many scams..

I know I can fill up dispute form and get back my money back..but this is so troublesome..waste my time for doing something that not because of my fault..

For debit card, you can set limit of RM0 for both debit and withdrawal to avoid this from happening.

Really?!

I would have assumed that it will be just be a separate transaction in the credit card which will only be billed together during the bill drop date.

What is the basis of this assumption?

Yes, only for selected branches and selected counters in those branches. When you take your number, tell them you want to pay by card.

want to know more about interest late payment.

statement date is every 27th.
if balance to pay is 1000, payment is calculated based on credit transaction or the actual balance todate (20 days no interest).

eg. i pay RM1000 within 20 days after statement date, and using 500 more within that period after paying. balance before that period finish, 500. they will charge interest or the transaction will be calculated in the next statement?

eg2. i pay 900, then use 500. balance is 600(100 + 500). payment for prev statement is calculated as 400 or 900?
*
Assuming your starting balance is zero and you do not pay in full the statement amount before the last day, you lose the 20 days interest-free period benefit and will be subject to interest on all existing and new transactions until the amount is fully repaid before the next statement date.

You do not tell them, the bank will not know and as long as you are still paying the statements, they do not actually care.
