What is the advantages of CIMB cash rebates compare to UOB Vox card?

For online spending i think UOB VOX is better since it doesn't have any restriction on online spending. Cash rebates includes airline tickets also while CIMB not entitled.

My own summary.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Mar 20 2016, 01:41 AM)
Well, both have their own pros and cons. I have both to ease my life. smile.gif
Honestly, most of my online purchases are charged to VOX rather than CIMB CR.

This is my own summary for these cards:
i) CIMB CR is a free for life card while UOB VOX is not, you will need to spend at least once per month (no minimum amount) to avoid RM 6.00 monthly charges.
ii) CIMB CR has no minimum amount for online transactions in order to be eligible for cash back but VOX requires you to spend at least RM 50 per transaction to be eligible for cash back.
iii) CIMB CR's maximum cash back for online transactions is only RM 30 (that means max spending for online transactions is RM 600) while VOX can be fully maximized at RM 50 (for RM 1k of spending).
iv) CIMB CR's has a fixed date of cash back crediting while UOB VOX sucks here and according to T&C, it is by 30th of the following month. Sometimes the VOX's system behaves while sometimes it doesn't. I'm involving BNM in this matter. bangwall.gif (edit: fixed already, usually will credit on 20s of the month)
v) CIMB CR has cross borders charges (read here) while VOX doesn't have.
vi) CIMB CR's maximum cash back for online transactions is only 5% while UOB VOX is 5.3% (5% - online transactions + 0.3% retail transactions).
vii) CIMB CR doesn't give cash back for flight tickets while UOB VOX gives.
vii) CIMB CR doesn't give cash back for UOBPayOnline transactions while UOB gives (refer to first post of this thread).

So in conclusion, apply for both. smile.gif

Apparently this is for business owner.  It is not a personal CC. I am looking for a personal CC .

Chances are pretty low as standard 20-day interest free period is applicable to all personal cards in Malaysia as far as I know.

Same thing happen to me today when I swipe my MBB Ikhwan for the first time after received it few days ago. If the CC Machine is updated(Pin&Pay update/system), it will request for 6digits pin, so I tried 123456, and transaction rejected. Call MBB CS to ask for temporary Pin Number, and at the same time trying to swipe the card for the second time, this time when machine asking for Pin, I just press enter without key in any Pin, and transaction get through.

So I guess, as long as you haven't set pin in your CC, just proceed without entering it when swiping the card.

Even if you have it, most of the merchants still not ready. I haven't tried entering PIN using my PIN & Pay cards yet, all still sign for now even I have PIN enabled already.

Ya, but have you try it on the Pin&Pay ready machine? I think you must enter the Pin if you have enable the Pin & Pay things. Not sure though.

By the way, how do you manage your card payment if you have too much cards? List down all the card billing/due date? Need to discipline myslef, been paying a lot of interest although the spending amount is quite low.  sweat.gif

I'm not sure because they still print slip and ask me to sign.

I know all the due date well, use Excel to track spending and use Outlook calendar to remind payments. So far, all well, not even charged with any interest yet. You need to, else it will affect your credit history too.

Make sure you use cards which give benefits for groceries category and if you are going to do this for long term, apply a membership card for only RM 12 lifetime and get RM 10 voucher. RM 1 = 1 point, 1000 points can exchange for one RM 10 voucher but voucher cannot be used to pay bills and reload TnG. Apply first before doing any transactions.

Hi All,

Any credit card that is easy on Foreigner application? I have a valid working visa good for 2 years, and I'm a CIMB debit card holder. Anyone knows the process for applying credit card in CIMB / others for freigners/Non-malaysians?

Thanks
*
Foreigners in my office always apply for Maybank credit cards. Just need an employment confirmation letter from employer, of course 3 months payslip, work permit and passport to apply. I haven't seen any rejection yet, from Plat, Visa Signature to M2Premier Cards. The credit limit is usually very close to your monthly basic salary with the ratio 1:1.

QUOTE(MrLoo @ Jun 30 2016, 08:27 PM)
Hi guys, if I am currently under hire purchase agreement with public bank with very good track record of servicing the loan, do I need to submit additional income proof to apply for a credit card ?
*
May require for Public Bank and if other banks you will need to submit. Which card do you intend to apply?

Why credit cards always earn less cash back than advertised
http://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...han-advertised/

Good read though most of the things mentioned here, the seasoned users know already. tongue.gif I can even guess which cards were mentioned in the article. laugh.gif

Thanks for sharing. Too bad they didn't mention LYN since this is the most fastest and most accurate first-hand info from the forumers laugh.gif

In fact, I suspect the writer did get his source from this section. It's like the tips and tricks we have shared here, so it's not a surprise if we "contributed" to this article. laugh.gif

Let's play guessing game. Which cards are these?
1) Some cash back is only given if you buy at a certain store where it is “up to” 6% on spend at these two stores. The cashback is also tiered and capped.
-HSBC Amanah?

2) Banks will try to make you pay for your own cash back by asking for an annual fee. Make sure your cashback weighs up against the annual fee. For example, a bank card will cost you RM265 in annual fees, but allows you to earn RM840 in petrol cashback.
-Which card gives RM 70 per month for cash back? hmm.gif

The rest of the cards mentioned in the article are pretty easy to guess. laugh.gif

Question:
So on the 1st of June I signed up for Aeon's Gold CC, wanting to get the free 6x airline lounge tickets and confident of the 12x swipes a year requirement for free annual fee.
I surpassed the minimum salary requirement by 2x

On 30th June I received a sms saying it was rejected. No reason.

If I was working overseas, and my salary is in another currency in a foreign (but international bank which is present in malaysia), would it have effected the approval? The agent said they dont think so.

Note:
I currently have one at -2.2%BLR when i was working in malaysia a few years ago. DIBS repayments not yet started.
No other loans. 1 CC with above mortgage company, limit 3k, no ownings.
*
Each institution has its own assessment. Salary requirement is not the only criteria. If you want to, you can appeal or print out your CCRIS to check out.
Anyway, it could be overseas salary that causes it.
