Hi @cybpsych,

Online transactions shall include purchases you make online (excluding telco payments, utilities and insurance) such as booking flights online, ordering from shopping websites such as Lazada/Zalora/ebay, etc.

any other checking?

e.g. POSMODE code, description must have EC/ECOM/MART/etc?

other questions:

1) TM bills (tmnet, streamyx, unifi, landline, etc) are under telco or Utilities?

2) if I use other payment gateways, e.g. posonline or uobpayonline, is it under online transactions?

3) how about PayPal?

Hi, I have some more question

Does transfering from Truesavers to another bank counted in the 3x/month transfer?

yes, even own to own counts

Hi, Like to ask.

5 free MEPS withdrawals per month*

Does this means we can only withdraw 5times only using our ATM cards from our Transact Account?

No. What it meant is you can withdraw for free from any atm in Malaysia without charge.
The 6th one will be charged. How much will it be charged, I don't know. Unless it's from ambank atm then moat likely is free.

Will we be receiving any paper statement or can we retrieve the account statement through amonline?

I have am bank account but can't manage to open the true application at the online application form , how do I do it?

Anyone cant sign in their AmOnline at all?

You cannot sign in straight away. Need to wait 24hours of activating your card.

I already got my card last month. More like 24 days cant sign in already. LOL. Calledl CS and they said still checking.

Anyone knows whether online payment for Astro bill is eligible for 3% rebate?

I know the following categories are excluded: -

a) Mobile Bill Payment (MCC 4813, 4814)
b) Utilities (MCC 4900)
c) Insurance (MCC 5960, 6300)

Which category does Astro belongs to?

Does the 3% rebate applies to TRUE Mastercard Debit card as well? Or it is only for CREDIT CARD.

Only credit card. If I am not mistaken there is a cap of RM30/month

Unsuccessful attempt in trying to register for this AmBank's True Savers account via their link: http://www.truebyambank.com/trueproducts/Pages/index.aspx
Seems like AmBank's online portal is full of errors of some kind (eg. error message from their website when I tried clicking on the online registration form to register for True Savers account for example; tried doing it during office hours also no difference...)

Finally, I drove over to the AmBank's branch & request to open True Savers account (already filled up & signed the required form)..., but I was then notified that I "may not be eligible" to open True Savers account when/if I am not working/have a full-time job with a company, or a student studying in college for example... (Yes, I am not employed & already graduated from uni, but I am doing some kind of freelance, some part time direct sales like, & some passive-income things online, so how...) (So they told me that they would have to see how..., about whether the manager can approve my registration or not... Have to wait & see...)

I wonder is it normal for the procedure to be like that...?

Since when? There's nothing in their term and conditions. I am a student and I managed to open. Go to ambank, take opening account no. When you are called, tell them you want to open Truesavers, fill up the form, sign and wait. You do not need to go back and forth to ambank. Just wait there until they process finished.

I just told them that I am a student attending some part time classes , so they then told me to produce a letter (from the institution that I'm studying at) to indicate that I am a student...

(But actually my classes haven't even commence yet, & then I may also decide NOT to register/attend this classes at all... So I won't be able to provide any letter indicating that I am a student... Unless I just provide them with my past university's student ID card & see whether they can accept it or not...)

But anyway they-Ambank took my True Savers registration form & told me to wait for their manager's approval...

I drove over to AmBank's branch to inquire about my True Savers account application once again, but the bank officer told me that seeking approval needs time (!)...

I successfully opened a Maybank2u savings account (with almost 2.5% interest credited monthly) online, & it took me less than 10 minutes for the process to be completed. (Now I already transferred most of my savings into M2u savers.)

Recently I also went over to Hong Leong's bank branch to open a savings account there as well, & the whole process only took less than 10 minutes.

BTW, I would be taking a look at OCBC's Premier Savings Account (3.0% interest).

Ocbc not worth. To get 3%, you need to topup min rm1k/month. Any withdrawal will cause the interest to drop to 0.5% for that month. Better you put 1 month maybank Islamic efd at 3.25% if like that.

Go to another ambank branch. Don't talk anything. Just fill up the form ans sign.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it.
