First of all, you may provide more info on your usage on credit cards so that others can assist you in determining the correct cards.

As for credit limit reduction, you may do so if you feel unsecured about the high limit. Plus, it helps if you plan to apply loans or more credit cards in the future.

Primarily focused on cash back as I don't really see the benefits of any other types of card. Or at least those I know of. Free annual fee as well.

On the second point, can you elaborate further on what you mean if helps if I plan to apply loans or more credit cards?

You may post here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3644347. Just follow the format.

About my 2nd point, if you free up some credit limit, it will improve your chances of approval for credit cards, car loan, housing loan etc, as you will still have some quota left in your credit assessment / debt ratio, iinm. Maybe others can further explain to you as I am no expert tongue.gif

I'm planning to terminate by MBB 2 Cards Plat as I almost have zero usage of it these days. Same goes for the CIMB Cash Back.

In return, I would like to take the PBB Visa Sig. and RHB World Mastercard on top of the UOB One card I have, is this advisable?

Lastly, can I request for a reduction to my credit? I think they gave me a stupidly high amount based on my income but I have almost no need for that, or just let it be?

Some banks like RHB will only allow CL reduction up to the minimum CL tied to each type of card

1% for first RM 1k and 0.5% unlimited for subsequent amounts. It's also applicable to insurance. I charge it auto-debit for my GE insurance to this card.

Hmm, as far as I know, it is not tied the the amount of credit given to you by the bank as it is up to their risk portfolio.

I can ask my colleagues over at Cards. We can only look at pretty limited information such as CCRIS or CTOS which does not include the credit line extended to the person.

if you have an average RM2k general monthly expenses that doesn't earn you cash back from any card, you can consider HLB Fortune card. Otherwise, HLB Essential.

Online shopping with the CIMB Cash Rebate card applies to certain online stores like Lazada only or any merchant? Purchases on Dell counts?

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

some banks, yes, while other no.

But you'll never be sorry to call up and inform them, to prevent unnecessary inconvenience when using your card overseas.

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