Just activated my card today, but the received sms said activation of the card will take 3 working days, really that long?

Few ways of activating the card. You can 1) send the sms to a 5 digit no. (which I presume that's what you have done) or 2) call the cs to activate it.

option 1) - you will receive the sms saying that activation take 3 working days.

option 2) - cs will activate the card for you within 5 mins.

Suggest that if you want to use the card straight away without waiting, just call the cs to activate. I did option 1) on day 1, then day 2 i call cs to activate it coz i could not wait for 3 working days. The cs activate it for me on day 2 itself, hence i am not sure what is the result of the option 1) since it seems like taking forever for the activation.

need to activate?
i collected from PB branch itself

if i am not mistaken, even if you collect from the branch, you still need to activate it.

I want to know too... paying GE premium RM600 per month with OCBC platinum now.. Only 1% CB

the letter with the card does not mention anything about activation. Only ask to sign behind. I guess its activated rite?

I dont think so (in my opinion). I have collected my other cc from branch, which was issued by aeon and hong leong, both cc require activation, ie need to call cs to activate it. I am not aware of any cc that is activated upon collection from branch. It's best if you can call cs and check with them whether your cc is activated or not.

You need to call to activate. That's the fastest.

ok tq

will call them n c

u don't have aeon watami ?

as i know, we can't pay insurance online (at least for ge at the moment). the most you can do is to auto-debit if you opt not to pay at the branch every month. but of course, if you use auto-debit feature, there is no 6% rebate for online payment.

aeon watami only 3% but this one 6%.

I am glad to report that my request to set SMS alert to RM1 is successful and will take effect today. Yet to try it though Their new system is up and running.

Quite slow in processing this card, unlike other banks almost within 2 days already call to follow up

guys, any boarder charge applied to paypal(0.8%) when using this card?

I don't think Public Bank will call. I did not receive any call whatsoever. They just deliver the card to my address after approval. They also did not inform me if it was approved or not, I had to call and find out.

Even the receive/confirmation i need to resend twice and called them up and yet no updates/status

at the end u got to pay up $12 more as the 238 only to offset 5% charge on the 5k ammount

im using autodebit thru watami...just hoping we can pay GE insurance online very soon so that can utilize this 6% cb...
