Is it the first year of annual fee will be waive for new application right normally?? If yes, just enjoy for a year movie benefit, after that only think about Annual fee on next year.

On the other hand, heard from my friend of friend who is currently working in Citi that GSC will not continue with Citi due to their terminal is damn slow compare to other terminal. But not sure whether is true or not, therefore this is put me into consideration whether is good to apply or not at this moment...

Btw, your article is really interested bro, there is not only talking about credit card but also sharing about your life...

Thanks Bro for reading my article. I guess you also know we get FREE 1 for 1 Movie ticket with our Maybank 2 Cards AMEX every Thursday at TGV only as highlighted in the article.

Yes, most Citi credit cards first year annual fee are waived except for their Prestige card.

One year got 52 weeks, say you go 30 times a years, that's at least RM300 savings

Yes I have notice about this buy 1 free 1 with MBb at TGV, and have try before, but personally more prefer to GSC instead of TGV as the seat manner at TGV is not nice, some more there is only available for normal seat, but not for prefect seat, right? but it's depend on individual satisfaction

Alright, will look into it... Thanks for your advice !

hi guys,

i viewed my statement and there is this 'q3 icard cash back RM50 CR'.

is this some kind of promotion?google doesnt seem to yield any results.

Would like to know normally how long is the card approval time frame?

Submitted my online application form last week, called Citi's customer care to check on the status yesterday, the CS rep told me it's not being process yet

For my case the CS call me less than a week after the agent submitted my application. Maybe going through agent is faster because agent want to claim commission?

I received my clear card yesterday and finally have time to activate it thru online.

Since this is my first CC, i have some questions to ask here..

Where to check my statement date? if i didnt use the card for that month, will i get any charges in the monthly statement?

that's not really true
once they have your signed application form ready, they sometimes (unprofessionally) bulk them and mass submit.
to them it is does not make a difference because the chance of approval is the same and it does not make a difference in their commission. commission is also paid on pre-determined dates, so they sometimes have no intention of doing an early submission.

You Check /Changing Your Statement Date by Calling Citi's Customer Service the No. is at the Back of Your Card...

if you didn't use the card, of course there is no charges in your statement.

Don't forget RM50 GST usually charge on first statement. Even if they have rebate/waiver, please do check coz sometimes they do trick of giving rebate on second statement or something like that (thus card holder need to pay first before getting rebate).

I believe you need to pay RM50 for govt tax, so first statement will generate out even though no transaction.

hi guys,

i viewed my statement and there is this 'q3 icard cash back RM50 CR'.

meaning i got some RM50 rebate thing.

any idea what this is?

that day i wanted to buy tgv movie tickets using my citibank clear card, last time they have the 1 movie ticket at RM10 promo.

now no more, clear card is getting useless for me.

Where do you guys recommend to apply the premier amex ...from the branch or through shopping malls counters...

online!

reasons:
1) i do not believe in the idea that agents get free commission (regardless lenglui or not) when you know the product as good (if not better) as them
2) applying thru agents for citibank, based on my experience at least, does not make the processing much faster.
3) you do not usually get better free gifts when you sign up at shopping malls.
4) in the event that you do not qualify for a higher card, agents normally manipulate your application to get lower requirement cards which you do not want - for the sake of getting commissions.
5) there are also cases where you want to try your luck for approval for a card which you are not sure you would qualify. to improve the chance of a confirmed and secured comission, the agents automatically downgrade your application even before it stands a chance to be evaluated by the credit evaluation team.

Thanks online I shall apply then.
