The payroll thingy sounds cool. david83, if you manage to find out more about it, please share with us.

I'm a low income earner, only can get RM 288 but better than nothing.

Though I wish to get RM 588.

Thank you in advance!

I applied my Maybank Ikhwan at the booth in MATTA Fair last weekend and one of the questions asked by the agent was if I'm holding any CIMB cards, I said yes and he asked me for the credit limit I got. I told him 23k if I can remember correctly. Then, he said, the amount of my Ikhwan will be around the same.

I really don't see any relation with my Maybank, does anyone have any clues?

I can't even convince myself that my Ikhwan will be approved, what's more such a high limit for Ikhwan? I can dream on.

thia cimb, pandai pandai only send me 2 cards, whats the benefit of the normal platinum card>? cant find it in the website

david83, lee1234, noien, chiahau, ronnie and whoever is interested in the payroll account thingy.

Since I'm quite free today in the office so I made a call to CIMB to enquire further. These are my queries:

i) I asked about the eligibility to participate in this program. There are two versions of answers from their product team. One person says, everyone is eligible while the other person says only those received SMS blast will be eligible. She has taken down my details and will call me back again next week to confirm on the eligibility. My argument to her is that there is nothing mentioned in the clause that states this is only for invited customers.

ii) Assuming if everything is clear for part (i), you will need to register via SMS. I asked if there is any SMS confirmation after that, she said she wasn't told if there is any SMS confirmation. It will be good if you could call them after you send the SMS.

iii) How do you confirm that the amount transferred into CIMB account is my salary? Apparently, they will check with your HR if your salary account is CIMB account. You must have 6 consecutive salary records and you cash back will be paid in two months after that, which is the 8th month.

iv) I'm now in second tier and what if I receive a bonus in one of the first 6 months and it is more than 10k now? How do you determine the amount of my cash back? She said the payments transferred into your account for 6 months will be averaged and see it falls into which tier.

That's all I have asked and will come back on first question once she calls me back.

I think noien received the SMS.
Well, this is what she says. My bonus will be out in April, so I won't participate now, will participate in Dec, most probably.
Did you ask anyone in the branch about this campaign?
This is a new program though, only launched on 9th Sept.

I'm having this problem too but I have 2 cimb account...can I switch to another one without payroll?
Worst case, I will switch to other bank and switch it back?

just checked my groupon.MY (desktop browser) transactions on 9/9 using CIMB CR.
one thing i noticed is during payment checkout, the screen is different (seems to be random)

2 transactions without cross border fees: when i enter cc details, i saw the amex icon there.
2 transactions with cross border fees: i saw different screen, only accept visa/mastercard.
i thought any type of payment screen would resulted NO cross border fees, but nope.

seems to be depends on which payment processor they're using also, regardless of using desktop or mobile app.

hi comrades, i saw in newspaper, theres 7% cashback for petrol at Petronas, for statemet account more than RM3k. good news?

Thanks for ur reply. I would consider going to kedai tenaga for tnb then for auto-debit/pay.

itu SYABAS punya instruction

Yes. U're right.

What about paying at TNB kiosk using CC ? Anyone have tried before & receive cash back?

yes.. cash rebate cc  .
Pls tell me how to do SI for TNB bill. Thanks

So the conclusion is there is no 2% cash back for TNB using CB CC.. 

More imported snacks for milady fuitie

That's right and I got another RM 10 voucher to redeem because already reached my first 1k points.

I can't get discount from agoda. Previously can, so I didn't do any mistake.

I went to agoda.com/cimb, key in the place, book the hotel. Login my account, put in my saved CC, but no discount displayed.

I tried on the hotel that I usually booked and get discount, no luck as well.

Not sure what went wrong, the promotion ends already? or because of the server down.

What do u mean? Sorry i dont understand..
Because when i apply they say i must take two cards.. I wanted the cash rebate card. Then they say i need take the standard card as well (for points redemption one). But end up they only send me this. Is it possible they will send the other one later?

I made two purchases from Groupon few days ago, and both were charged an extra 0.8%. Anyone knows why? Made a similar purchase 2 weeks but without any surcharge.

Anyone here have CIMB cash rebate card?
I try to active the card but fail to send the message.

Yes .i tried to activate mine one last month also failed. Need to call CS to activate

I think TNB doesn't allow auto debit or standing instruction.
