I just bought from Xiaomi Mi4i using CIMB Cashback card. Completely forgot that CIMB, HLB and SC charged cross border fee. ie, even if the transaction is in ringgit, they would charge extra if the credit card server is located abroad.

The phone price was RM749. CIMB put in the statement RM754.99. RM5.99 (0.8%) cross border charge. Haih.

Guys, be careful. Don't use CIMB/HLB/SC cards at Xiaomi, Apple, Agoda, Paypal among others. Use your cards from other banks.

You still got 4.2% rebate as a consolation.

Thanks for the reminder.
Right now I use all online payment by this cimb cb, but not really compare the exchange rate with other card

I remembered last time (two months ago) bought a phone from Xiaomi too.

Based on the UOB statement, the amount was charge as same as what is the price of the phone itself from website, no extra charge.

Perhaps it now has charge for cross border fee??

Because UOB doesn't have cross border fees?

No idea, the price was charged based on the phone itself only but that is around last two months ago

Is only 4% coz maximum is RM30 cashback.

Direct on the receipt... though I suspect only when it's above RM50 then it applies...

nope. on the 3rd days after submitting, it was already showing in my m2u. The next 2 days after that, i simply went to the maybank hq to collect my card even no sms notification were sent yet.

Wow..that was fast.. Thanks for your reply.

I went to KFC @ Aman Puri yesterday, the manager confirmed that the 5% discount promotion on CIMB cards has ended since last year. I think we need to confirm this with KFC HQ because some outlets still has that promotion and some not.

So pissed off with CIMBClicks. Till today I still can't view my CC in CIMBClicks.

PIN arrived but failed to do any registration or linkage myself. This is clearly their system problem!

before cimbclicks registration, you already went to the atm to change the pin and set your phone?

I didn't do anything.

I tried to do the registration but failed.

Bear in mind that I have existing CIMBClicks.

Nevermind, I called CS yesterdday and hope they'll settle it ASAP.

Only CIMB/HLB/SC charge cross border fee. All other banks don't have it, including UOB.

Actually i reported HLB doesn't charge cross border in the other thread. i wasn't charged when i bought from apple store last year.

I have the same problem also.. Anyone know?

Finally my CIMB Cash Back Mastercard has been linked to my CIMBClicks.

At least after three weeks of hassles with the CS.

Oh ok. My bad, I didn't read the whole thread.

Called CS this morning to do two things:

1. Inquired about the RM 10 Zing fee.
*Previous CS said it'll be auto-reversed in the next bill statement but today's CS told me that the Zing card needs to be terminated first in order for auto-reversal of the fee. That's why I said that there's always a discrepancy between the CSes!

2. Changed the default threshold of SMS alert
* Default is RM 1000 and I have set it to RM 201
