Of course you have to notify your HR if there is any change of bank account.
Our company uses an internal tool, any change of bank account just update and payroll team will get it.

I think they track by your SMS.

For supplementary cards, I usually pay separately to avoid any issue.

Supplementary card's name, for me la. No issue.

If you don't mind, ask them to write off the amount and close it.

I think chiahau did it.


Anyway, I will continue holding my CIMB CR Plat for now because of Sam's Groceria promo. I'm so cheapskate, I know it.

Good for you all. My company doesn't allow us to book our own flights and hotels. All must be booked through our travel agent seated in office and charged to company's account straight away...

Yeah and with 2% for groceries and if you have the card, can collect points.

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.

Got it. My first time being asked with this. I thought CIMB has any relation or what.

Nope, I didn't register anything yet. I guess CIMB won't easily give free money just like that, must have some agendas behind it.

Again if I have the time will drop by KL Sentral branch tomorrow...

At least the agent applied for me had the courtesy to ask me first before applying another card for me. I will definitely shoot him if he did this.

It is another card to collect points I supposed.
Useless card.

I don't know but I won't suggest you to do that.

I suggest you to file a complaint to BNM for CIMB sending you another card without your knowledge and agreement. At the same time, please call CIMB to get the cancel this card and voice out your dissatisfaction.

Didn't get anything via soft copy? I prefer soft copy over hard copy.

Good point but my company will state our company's name when do IBG and put it as salary transfer.

Have some patience la... Those know will answer you.

1) I don't know much about SI, so can't answer. I heard only selected bills. Let others answer you.
2) Nope, those bills you mentioned cannot get 5%. Astro only if you pay through their portal.

That's why, need to check with bank for TnC.
I don't think CIMB will give free money freely.

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 can only hit tier 3 in April but the rest of the months only tier 2...
So if averaged also will still be in tier 2 I think.

Yes, not qualified.

Luckily I don't handle all these things.
