Yup! I was just slapped with 'CB on 1st come 1st served basis'.
Waiting to hear from second contest which I have participated and supposed to be paid out first week of December (12 weeks). If still tell me 'first come first served basis', I will tell them to fly kite!

Hi guys,

In your experience, from applying online to getting the card and the Balance Transfer amount, roughly take how many working days?

Lucky I no wait...I settled using my own cash, and elected for the 2.88% Cash Instalment Plan

For 688 rebates = Is 2400 units. Still a lot leh. I call their CS asking i number berapa, they dun want to tell...😂😂

Just received new HSBC card under the signup promo Big 2017. Was hoping to do BT 4888 so can get 488 cashback, but the cl given is just 4k which a lot less than my basic salary. Wtf so petty clever this bank, most other bank already given me more than 10k cl

t&c here LZD RM500

am i right even i cancel my HSBC card now and reapply after 6 months, i will not entitle for the voucher right?

Holder(s)  of  invalid  or  cancelled  HSBC  Bank/HSBC  Amanah  Credit  Cards/-i  and/or  whose  accounts  are delinquent within HSBC Bank and HSBC Amanah’s definition at any time during the Promotion Period; and/or

How to do bt for new hsbc cc?

HSBC amanah is considered under HSBC amanah (islamic bank). how come they can move the credilt limit from hsbc amanah (islamic bank) to hsbc bank?

Bro, I just sharing my experience of cancellation. I didn't call HSBC to ask "why".

i know lar. U are the 1 need to read more..even it is own by same owner.
But, these are 2 different entities and no suppose to share.
example, maybank and maybank islamic also owned by maybank group.

But , the credit limit is not share and not transfer from maybank card to maybank islamic card lah.

Is a confirm cash back?RM 688 looks tempting.

*Eligible spend: Internet transactions, local and overseas retail transactions, cash advance, Balance Transfer, Cash Instalment Plan, standing instructions/auto-billing.
Maximum units for RM88 Cash Back / RM288 Cash Back/ RM488 Cash Back/ RM688 Cash Back are 1,650 units/1,250 units/850 units/650 units respectively.

Do you think they will tell whether there is still quota available upon our cc application?

My situation is the apply RM10,000 BT for 12 months and lock in drawer. This is what I confirmed with CS when I signed-up the BT and they read me all the TNC.

- I can pay RM500 each month, for 11 months without any interest (ASSUMING NO OTHER SPENDING)

- Month 12 I must pay the balance i.e. RM4,500

Provided I comply with the above, I will not be charged interest.

She explained that if I make retail transactions and make minimum payments only, there WILL be charges because the retail expenditure will not enjoy the interest free period. Plus, there is a priority in which payments offset the outstanding balance. In short, to avoid complications and interest, JUST LOCK UP!

HSBC balance transfer is a rip off, opted 0% over 3 mths and end up CS called up to confirm saying that outstanding balance cannot enjoy 20 days interest free and will be charge 18% interest per annum. Imagine 1k outstanding balance would attract at least RM15 interest charges

Luckily they called up and i cancelled off the deal

received 688 for my wife card and 738 (sup card RM 50 extra) for my card!!!!!!
finally!!!!!!!

when?

they got any email or wad to refer?

*just checked, i also received. get RM688

Is this the RM688 promo that ended in Feb 2017? I'm still waiting for mine, as mine's the extended March 2017 promo. I also took the RM10,000 BT. If I get the RM688 I will be SO HAPPY.

Guys, i just called to CS regards to my balance transfer amount.
I applied for 3 months with 0 % interest, somehow the full amount appeared in my june statement, then i queried them, what CS told me HSBC wont practice to seperate the balance transfer into 3 months statement, as long as i pay the minimum then i will not being charge.. is that ture?

Also, since i have balance transfer in my hand, as long as i use my card on retail transactions, i have to immediately to pay on the next day, as finance charge will be impose.. as due to i have BT in myhand, so i dont have 20 free interest days. i was like what the hell? Can anyone confirm this?

Did they mentioned this rule to you when u applied BT?
Have you try complain to Bank Negara?

real case by my friend :

new card holder approved, and applied for 0% 3 months BT & 1.99% 6 months BT.
and the agent did mention to her about the retail transaction during BT period, this one ok she clear about that.

comes to BT, she do BT 2k for 3 months, 4k for 6 months.
she paid RM 1.3k per month. 3 months already up to now,
but CS told her the installment will be settled the HIGHER BT 1st (so is settle the 4k 1st), at the end after 3 months, mean her 3 months BT have NO PAYMENT RECORD AT ALL, even she did paid. CS tell her either do early settlement or else the 2k will be charged 18% interest. CS never mentioned, should her complain?
