Depend on you. Just you should know that you're going to be charge 25% upfront, which it's not very worth it if you had money to pay.

Yup, read term n conditions
All the example is already better explain there.
I'm not sure how to explain it better.

Just take the amount that you want to transfer, times 26.64% (8.88%*3) and divide back to 36 month, which is monthly  amount that you need to pay.
The thing is, this is all done in upfront.
If the gift that interest you, need to mind that we already pay 2-3 times from the price of the device itself. The price of the item also already mention in the tnc.

Kudos to Maybank that give a tnc that is well explain and easy to understand.

thanks sir, almost fall to the trap. sad.gif

another question, again for BT.

0% and upfront handling fee of 3% (12 months)
4.5% and no upfront handling fee (24 months)

If I take the 24months BT, is it give me more benefit? the differences is 1.5%.

BT is like a trap to can make it into deeper shit if not carefully handled.

For me, I will only consider BT if there is a 0% interest, 0% unfront fee. And hefty discipline you will need to make sure you pay up on time.
