Today receive a call from CS, she explain to me how to spend in order to eligible for the free air miles, which I sent a sms few month back, something like spend 50k for 15k airmiles.

Then I ask her, are you calling to congratulate me for winning that? She say no, she calls to explain how am I going to spend to make myself eligible for it, LOL

Before hang up, she ask if any of my friend want to sign up new card, can call her.

I did it the other way, i went to the bank and say i want to open a FD account. Don't tell them you are doing it to get the credit card. Once open di, only reveal that you are pledging it for the card.

Come to think of it, maybe that's why they were very reluctant to process my application and had to go through abit of hassle. biggrin.gif. But at the end of it, it's customer's rights. 4% for RM 25k and they pay the interest upfront to another account.
Std RM 30k. I was using their Platinum card before this with RM 10k limit. The Premier 2Card has a minimum limit of RM 30k. So it's RM 30k - RM 10k = RM 20k FD pledge.
I believe if using FD pledge, they'll waive the annual fees. My mom has a VI card due to her high FD account and they don't charge the annual fees for the card even through she only use about RM 1-2k a month (which adds up to RM 24k a year).

Worst case is, use the FD interest to offset lo. The 2nd year FD interest is 3.5% (follow board rate) which is about RM 875 and its paid upfront. If they charge me, i don't mind using that to offset as the benefits of the card is worth it. (Starwood Privillege Card membership is RM 750 a year though they give vouchers to offset & the airmiles exchange is very worth it).
*
That is a very eye opening for me.
If this is true, I can use a few of my MDD FD to pledge for MBB2 premier then.

Will update in a few weeks time, will see what is the outcome after I visit a nearby branch.

received my principle card from taipan branch on friday.... funny thing is, my supplimentary have to collect from gardens branch on SUNDAY even after i've placed instruction to collect both cards from taipan. Their internal communications really need to improve.

Nice to see that the starwood promo has been extended to 2015.

I just went to the nearest MBB branch apply for MBB2 Premier card. Not sure if I have made the right decision to drop by into branch instead of Card center.

I have a couple of MBB FD which I did last year, 4% FD upfront too. Hopefully they let me use to pledge for this card.

To Bro Gen-X,

I just collect my MBB2 Premier.

Pledge using FD promo rate of 4% upfront, seems like MBB doesn't really stick to pledge FD using base rate.

Hi kinabalu smile.gif

I had read through several earlier posts and have better understanding on pledging fd for cc.

Just to clarify one thing, did you inform mbb your intention before commit to fixed deposit, or put money into fixed deposit account then proceed nego with mbb staff?

Some forumers had mentioned that they did went through unhappy application process when they reveal their intention to mbb staff before fixed deposit. Just curious if it works if i do it the other way round. hmm.gif

I already have MBB FD long time ago, just use existing to pledge. MBB CS are very helpful to me. No bad experience to me.

I like the new amex reserve design. don't have the strips going outwards from the Amex logo.

Looks more uncluttered.

First condition though is you must have a US based SSN, if you don't know what this is then you're almost 99% confirmed  that you can't have US based credit cards.

But to answer your question, I've been with Chase, Citibank, Amex and most recently BoA for years, have collected millions of miles as well. The biggest score for most of these US based banks are the sign up bonuses of up to 100k miles on the various programs and at my peak I'd be signing up for 6-10 cards per year. As a comparison, KL to US/Europe is around 110k miles return on CX business and you pay airport taxes as low as US$7. KL to Auckland is around 35k miles in Thai economy with airport taxes around US$65. Lots of fantastic value and competition, but unless you have a SSN there's almost zero way to join the fun. Visit flyertalk one of these days and read up more there.

Having said that though, there's plenty of opportunities with Asia Miles and Krisflyer with the Maybank 2 Premiere cards and MH Enrich short distance redemption are still pretty good options. I just don't know what to do when my RM800 annual fee comes up biggrin.gif

FWIW I just cancelled my Maybank 2 Platinum cards and transferred my 350k TP to my Maybank 2 Premiere cards.
*
I still have SSN and BoA CASA

Any Idea where to start getting a card? laugh.gif

Aeon vouchers don't have an expiry date -  maybe wait for those? I prefer AEON because of this, and most my groceries come from there so it makes sense.

Guess they were low on stock there when I went also, hence limiting redemption to 2k.
*
they should have foreseen this if Maybank want to inflate the TP. sure everyone panic and go redeem all.

Just like gas price up, all cars are lining up to fill gas.
