no, if it's charged means it's charged. do you use any cb link for the booking? for example, mastercard link, etc?

I just booked normally using booking.com

Aih, have to raise a dispute if they really charged

my recent booking with booking.com also book now, pay at the hotel.
there was no charge notification at all.

thanks for the info. will follow up with aeon

add: just spoke to representative from booking.com and he confirmed that I was charged and he will arrange for refund.

It was an online payment to Malaysia Airlines. So, I think the transaction should be following our local time.

Any particular reason you want to do this?
Old card cannot be used anymore and new card hasn't activated yet, do you plan to cancel this card?
Then, just call and cancel.

No need to cancel old card, it cannot be used anymore. For safety reason, you may destroy it from your end.

never leave the new card not activated just like that. you are still liable for any card that is NOT cancelled.

did you use any shopback/milkadeal link? if yes, that could be the culprit... especially if it's a mastercard/visa link. they need to charge to your card to confirm your card before they could give you the cb.

nope, until now I dont understand how shopback works lol..i assume this is how that particular hotel works. At the travel section, one forumer said he experienced the same thing but it was just for authorization. Will monitor.

ok... i will call the bank to cancel the new card. thanks

em. sorry for the noob question, since it's my first time using cc.
can I use my cc at all merchants?
for example. I go to jusco to buy television,
can I use my citi card to pay ?

or it is based on what the merchants stated which can be used?

sorry again for the q

yes, all. unless amex/diners club/etc cards which are not as widely accepted as visa/master.

ah thanks for the answer!

owh, if you are not sure, then normally you can ask "Do you accept Amex here?" And the cashier will answer you with (for e.g):
- yes
- yes, but only above RM30
- nopes

I clicked the Apply Now button at the website but OCBC Great Eastern MasterCard is not listed as one of the card. Only the Platinum version is there.

just tired and I cannot see other cards can apply too from the list such as OCBC MAsterCard(blue/pink), OCBC MC sliver

I clicked the platinum and left my contact details..will ask when they call me..I dont have GE policy anyway, so let's see whether they directly reject. Will have to get replacement for watami asap dy.
