your 'continue' means is the continue of accepting new sign up for titanium?

Continue means all benefits / rebates as per normal (until further notice) but no new cards to be accepted.

Guys, please call the OCBC Call Centre and speak to the CS and threaten to cancel your CC if the current benefits are reduced.

Do it, send OCBC the message, all their calls are recorded and monitored and reports on types of calls have to be made.

even uob one platinum is changing their requirement now... need to spend 36k or 60k annually (depending on your card type) in order to waive the annual fee (not gov tax).

Based on above statement. Does it mean that from now until end of Nov 2013 our current titanium have no benefits/ rebate?

if that so means our current statement is not getting any rebate? bank would not inform us if they will temporary remove the benefits? i am confused

i am not qualify for the platinium, but even their classic one card also need swipe 60 times to waive, 5 times a month is too much

pump rm10 petrol each swipe, when ur tank is full, more than 5 times

yes, but 5 times a month can be easily achieved if you go to buy something around rm10 per time at tesco/giant/other hypermarket for 5 times a month.
if you don't mind the cashier will look at you one kind, you can try rm5 per time too!

but for the platinum, spending 36k or 60k per month means we are spending all that we earn annually. that's CRAZY!!!

I applied for this last thursday at an ocbc branch, since i live near a branch it was more convenient for me. Today i got a sms telling me that my card will arrive in 7 days.

Since the benefits of this card might be gone nobody knows for certain yet, and also I just found out I won't be getting the swipe 3 times RM50 gst rebate because I applied at a branch (ridiculous), dunno if i should activate it or just leave the card in my drawer

If OCBC decides to cancel OCBC Titanium MasterCard benefits, all the existing cardholders must be informed by post first.

It means that all our current Titanium Benefits will continue as per normal. OCBC cannot terminate the Card Benefits without prior notice to Customers.

Howeverm the CS told me, all new applications has been suspended until end-Nov as OCBC wants to promote the Platinum Card

Hence, I say, please call OCBC and voice your objection to any potential cancellation of the OCBC Titanium Card

just received letter from OCBC in the mail rejecting my application =(.
bugger MBB2 took 1 hour to approve mine and they took 2 weeks to reject...

looking at the sample appeal letter on the first page, i should go get my CCRIS report from BNM first?

and how did people who've gone through this do it? submit the appeal letter to the branch or something?

Use the feedback form on their website to send your appeal. Give good details on why they should approve you. (Good payment records, no late payments, not many commitments, etc) They will do another verification call to you after that. I did mine like that. A week after that got approved.

I guess what they mean is that there will be no more new applicants while existing holders will maintain status quo until further notice

you mean using this link https://internet.ocbc.com.my/OCBCInfoMgmt/c...rsonal_new.aspx to contact them?
giving all the details like IC number? meaning i won't be attach any report etc.

Yup. You dont have to attach any. Coz they can get your report themselves

ok tqvm, shall give it a go.

the gst is charged to u whenever u activate it or not.. it is charged upon issuance.

I just do not see a point in doing this. IF OCBC Bank is really losing money on this particular card product, they won't mind losing all existing Titanium MasterCard cardholders, frankly speaking.


All Titanium MasterCard benefit is intact until OCBC says otherwise.

anyone know how to check the total amount have been spend for the card within the year (annual usage)? i can't find this in statement.

gst going to appear on my statement soon, need to check how many i need to "spend" to reach the 10k to waive the gst.

Find back all your statements and sum it yourself

btw, when do you guys think the situation will be clearer?

after the Budget 2014 announcement tomorrow?

i hope the benefit of titanium will remain unchanged as i have a few auto-debit linked to this card.
