Hey guys, I see that you guys are doing BT from Aeon card. I don't have Watami but just the Aeon MasterCard Gold card. Is it still worth to do BT from this card to MBB for 0% BT? Do I have any privilege from Aeon? Plan to swipe 3k there if it's a good choice.

I don't know to ask this question here or Aeon cards thread. Appreciate it. smile.gif

yes, bt question ask in bt thread here.

actually with your existing cards, you can actually bt from aeon to mbb and mbb back to aeon for 0% interest. lol...

the benefit of bt to mbb is because mbb offers 12 months instalment, while the benefit of bt to aeon is because aeon offers points (rm1=1point) for bt.

Thanks for the tips. laugh.gif
So that means I swipe 3k on my Aeon card then request to BT it to MBB, how long should I stick to MBB before I BT it back to Aeon? unsure.gif Sorry, I'm very new to this BT thingy. blush.gif

I didn't know Aeon also offers 0% BT interest.

Looking at this logic, I might as well swipe the amount on my MBB and straight BT to Aeon? rclxub.gif I can swipe on weekends and enjoy the RM 50 rebate then only BT out? Aiseh, I have an outstanding of 6k to pay to MBB by this 14th. If I know, I should have done the BT earlier... Too late now. sad.gif

as long as you have accumulated rm1k statements from one or more cc, you can apply for bt (aeon and mbb).

if you swiped rm3k on aeon and bt to mbb, your 12 months instalments will be rm250. add up your other transactions (>rm750) on your mbb cc to make it rm1k and bt back to aeon. or you may add up other cc statement (>rm750).

if you swiped rm3k on mbb and bt to aeon, your 6 months instalments will be rm500. add up your other transactions (>rm500) on your aeon cc to make it rm1k and bt back to mbb. or you may add up other cc statement (>rm500).

OK, I think I got your logic now. hmm.gif I guess if I start doing this, I'll be busying doing BT every month. laugh.gif
For my 14th due date payment with MBB, I believe I won't have sufficient time to BT to Aeon now right? sad.gif Thinking to pay RM 1k per month is better than paying full RM 6k. laugh.gif


Assuming if I manage to BT RM 6.8k from MBB to Aeon, that means every month I'm supposed to pay RM 1133 to Aeon. Once it is billed to my Aeon in every month, I will request to BT 2000 (is this OK as it is >1133?) out to MBB.
Then, I will need to pay RM 167/monthly to MBB?
I'll continue this cycle (Aeon>MBB) until RM 6800 clears in Aeon card.
By doing this way rather than BT the whole amount from Aeon back to MBB, I will not reduce so much of my MBB CL as my primary spending card is still AmEx.

Is my understanding correct? unsure.gif
Or is there any better way to manage this?

I don't think you can BT more than AEON's Statement Amount to MBB's 12-month 0% BT plan...

hmm.gif Then, I can forget about this...
But today is already 9th, I don't think will have enough time to BT to Aeon now. sad.gif
Sad.

if you want you may bt to aeon and at the same time you pay first, once the payment went through, request for the amount to be transferred to your casa stating double payment.

Really? That's good enough for me. drool.gif
OK, I will do it now. biggrin.gif

I'm still waiting for payment from AEON to MBB.
I paid myself since it's due date already.

Oh then we are in the same encounter. I don't mind paying to MBB but if can get back the amount, why not. blush.gif
I just submitted via fax, hopefully some good news soon from AEON.

I don't know what amount to fill up so just filled up the total outstanding of my Visa+AmEx. blush.gif

My first BT and hope it goes well.

you need to call and give reason like the double payment is due to certain delay in which prompting you to pay in cash first. just persuade the cs to refund the double payment. for more convincing (and obvious double payment), pay the same amount you applied for the bt.

Got it. biggrin.gif
No harm for me to try, after all I will still need to pay the amount. biggrin.gif
If it is approved, I will call to transfer back the amount to my SA. blush.gif

they will only post the instalment amount every month for 12 months. if you pay extra, it will just show more credit than debit in your that month's statement. certain bank do charge for early settlement, if possible, maintain as it is.

No issue, I will call Maybank to enquire about this. biggrin.gif

I just submitted my BT application from MBB to AEON before noon. How long should I wait before I can follow up with AEON?

I faxed my application to them.

Thanks. smile.gif

give them 1-2 days to call you back to confirm your bt application.

Alright.

QUOTE(sendohz @ Dec 9 2014, 04:24 PM)
From my experience, fax will take much longer time. 2-3 days perhaps
Email is way faster.
Add it with calls to CS to expedite the case smile.gif
*
Gosh, really? I thought I read back and it seems fax is the faster way for AEON.
I will email them now. Can you please let me know the email address? Got the email address in other thread.

Just hope that AEON doesn't treat them as two separate applications.

Whoever that calls me first, I will clarify with them where did they get my application (either fax or email). I will inform them to proceed with one only.
Let's see.

That's fast, received call from AEON. Approved. biggrin.gif

So You AEON BT to MBB then MBB BT to AEON then repeat the process again and again until promo ends. You no need to pay CC liao tongue.gif
*
Actually I don't understand this part, mind to explain to a newbie like me? blush.gif
AEON told me that my monthly repayment is RM 1118 for 6 months.
So, I just BT to MBB every month for RM 1118? Then BT to AEON again? And the cycle continues until both promo ends? I think MBB will end in March right? Only 3 months left to play... sad.gif

Correct.

Say I BT to maybank 12k, every month I need to pay 1k. When 1k is due I BT to aeon which split to rm166.66 per month. Of course as you do this there are overlapping of various payment.

First month due 166.67
Second month due 166.67x2
Third month due 166.67x3

And so on

Even more complicated or fun if you have 3 card eligible for BT.

laugh.gif OK, I think this kind of repayment system is not suitable for a person like me. I might go rclxub.gif at the end of day. tongue.gif

I also use BT to buy time. The debts I have from BT is incredible. I almost maxed out both my Aeon and MBB as of now. Just that I dump the money into my housing loan and use my future salary to pay off those BT. Every month salary in, almost all goes into paying CC sweat.gif

Then still have money to eat? laugh.gif
BT is a deep black hole...

I kinda regretted now to start BT-ing... laugh.gif
This shall be my first and last BT. laugh.gif

you didn't ask them they received via fax or email?

I told them, not to double pay me. However, I only received one call so far. So should be safe I guess?
I will tell them to only process one, will email them now. sweat.gif

BT for discipline people = free cash atm
BT for non-discipline people = black hole > more debt > bankruptcy...

if u do not keep track on ur financial standings, better don't BT.
Less than 5 BT still manageable, if have plenty of BT, u need to calculate properly how much u owe for each back, if not u will overspend ur future money and lead to financial crisis.
hahaha~~
*
Yeah, very dangerous. Though I'm pretty OK when comes to financial management but I don't want to spend so much of future money. sweat.gif
Scary, no more BT... laugh.gif

If they overpay u, u just cash out the money and transfer back to Aeon, call them to inform them u want to do early settlement.. No penalty. smile.gif
In fact, for each BT, u earn Aeon Points which is pretty good smile.gif

Ah, yes. That sounds doable as well. laugh.gif
But just afraid Maybank doesn't refund me. tongue.gif

OK can do early settlement, sounds good. I may clear all after CNY. tongue.gif

Yeah. BT is advantageous to discipline people. Need alot of tracking. Like for me, my available CL is on top of my mind always so I don't get embarrassed when swiping tongue.gif

And I make sure the money I suppose to pay goes into my loan account and not iPhone 6  whistling.gif
*
Hey for the iPhone 6, in order to enjoy the rebate of RM 300, Maybank imposed 6 months 0% interest la. Not that I cannot afford to pay whole full amount. cry.gif
I sold off that phone immediately after I got it and earned some quick bucks. blush.gif

Back to this BT, I admit I'm still new to this and really don't want to live in so much of debt every month... sad.gif
