QUOTE(cybpsych @ Dec 25 2016, 09:02 AM)
You can get 50 days interest free if you spend one day after the statement date.

the 20-day interest free is from bill date, not not everyday spending will get ~50 days.

Hi all, This Maybank agent called me up and helped me to register for Maybank credit card.

In my Maybank2U account, it shows 2 cards. I have not received any card yet.
1) Maybankard 2 Visa Gold
2) Maybankard 2 Amex Gold

This means i will get 2 cards instead of 1? Or how?

Sifu please help

Seems like you have applied Maybankard 2 (Dual cards). If so, yes, you will receive 2 cards instead of one.

Today I bought some gold jewelry and paid using credit card.

The shop charged me 2% for card fee and the fee attracts GST too.

I'm wondering if the so called card should attract GST or not?

I'm not complaining or what but overall deal is still cheaper than if I buy it from Tomei/Wah Chan/Poh Kong franchise.

But the 2% charge fee should be bear by the merchant and hence with the GST itself.

I agree with you that the credit card fee should be included in the sales price to you but since it wasn't, GST covers the entire amount of goods and services charged to you unless there are any zero-rated or exempt items in the invoice.

HSBC Visa Platinum not good? Just got it a few days ago.

I always go to shopping malls so means will swipe there for makan etc..

https://www.hsbc.com.my/1/2//personal-banki...#_visa_platinum

Faster to earn RM50 vouchers also if compare with Maybank2Card:
https://www.hsbc.com.my/1/PA_ES_Content_Mgm...ards/index.html

15k for RM50 voucher, compare to Maybank is 23k for RM50 voucher. And it's Visa so means much more easily accepted compare to 5x points Amex Maybank card:

Seems to me you are drawn by the 8x reward points offered by the card.

When I looked at the T&C, the 5x/8x reward program will end in 31Dec15 (8 days from now??).

Today I bought some gold jewelry and paid using credit card.

The shop charged me 2% for card fee and the fee attracts GST too.

I'm wondering if the so called card should attract GST or not?

I'm not complaining or what but overall deal is still cheaper than if I buy it from Tomei/Wah Chan/Poh Kong franchise.
*
Refer to the reply I posted from Visa / Mastercard.

Human Nature already enclosed the link.

Please do not hesitate to contact your merchant bank and make a fuss.

And GST is on the total amount of sales, so you will be slapped with 6% GST on top of your 2% Card charges.

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Dec 19 2015, 10:33 PM)
New to cc. Plan to apply for one. Any recommendations? For petrol (SHELL) and online purchases.

No single card to cover both.

No salary bracket as well?

1. MBB Ikhwan ( Friday~Saturday 5% Petrol + Groceries) OR
2. UOB One ( Petrol weekend 5% + 2% $mart at BHP ) OR

For Online :-

1. CIMB CR ( RM 30 online CB / 2% petrol on daily basis ) OR
2. UOB Vox ( 5% online / 1 swipe per month / utilities applicable )

If salary above 100k :-

1. MBB Visa Signature ( Daily groceries and petrol 5% )

+

2. PBB Visa Signature ( Online 5% )

For more info, go to respective thread and take a peek.

I asked the same questions before. No one could give a clear answer in this forum. I remember subsequently someone mentioned VISA card shouldn't have charge us 2% while master cards are allowed by their term.
I bought jewellery and being charged 2% few times at different shops before. What to do....
*
It's not SHOULD but it's MUST not charge.

BNM already stated, no minimum purchase and no fee should be imposed to customers.

I have repeated encourage people to stop such practice by listing the outlet and making official paper trail complaints to BNM / Banks / VISA or MASTER or AMEX to encourage them to ban such behaviors as well.

Side note : I shopped at Tiffany, never once I've been asked to cough up any surcharges tongue.gif

Pick your merchant wisely, if you don't want to get slapped with surcharges.

Tiffany or other famous jewellery shop has no issue. Issue is with those smaller jewellery shops who sell at cheaper price. They will charge extra 2% service charge if pay by cc.

Sometimes, I hesitate to go smaller shops because of the hassle.

Paying more may be less stressful and annoying to me.

But back to the topic on hand, whether big or small, they still not within their rights to simply charge you extra 2%.

2% of 10,000 is a lot.

Ok, there are two options. Get a replacement card and pay RM 50 for peace of mind. Or wait until there is an unauthorized trnx taken place then dispute the charges.

Hi all, any suggestion for card that can provide cash back on insurance premium payment? particularly for AIA premium payment.

something like, AIAFAM-BSN Visa Platinum Business Credit Card

recalled this used to be 2% rebate or 12 months interest rate free for insurance payment.

To All: Happy New Year 2016!!!

If you have yet to check out my new blog, click here to visit www.GenXGenYGenZ.com which is FREE of random ads, haha.

So far only republished a few credit card reviews:

OCBC Premier Voyage MasterCard - which is good for Bragging Right only.

CIMB Enrich (Elte too) World MasterCard - which is pretty good if you don't mind paying annual fee and spend within the stipulated yearly cap.

Maybank 2 Platinum/Gold Cards - still FREE FOR LIFE

Maybank Islamic MasterCard Ikhwan Platinum/Gold - 5% Cash Back at ALL petrol station every Friday and Saturdays and now including Supp Cards.

I will be restarting my Credit Cards Tutorial for 2016.

If you have a RHB Credit Cards, best you go check out the latest T&C. Their Visa Infinite is now FREE FOR LIFE and comes with UNLIMITED access to PPL BUT there is a monthly quota of 1000. They also have a new World MasterCard which I cannot comprehend their cash back monthly cap which they claim gives you 6%. I will be doing a review on the RHB cards by the end of this month.

And of course, the card everyone should have is my creation Maybank 3 Cards GTR - AMEX, Visa PLUS MasterCard FREE FOR LIFE. Hahaha.

You can't pay a loan with another credit. As simple as this.
So far only PTPTN loan allows credit cards, I guess it wants youngsters to go bankrupt much earlier. laugh.gif

If you use HLB Essential, can get RM 400 cash back. laugh.gif Not sure if it falls under HLB Essential's exclusion.
If use Watami, can get RM 150. laugh.gif

Then, BT 0% and pay by installment 6 months or 12 months. biggrin.gif

Celcom website actually redirect to 11street:

http://www.11street.my/productdetail/xpax-...scount-10750140

BUT, it states Shipping Free (Auto Top-up)

meaning it is still online based right, they are not posting the reload voucher to my address?

at the same time, what is the meaning of auto top-up? I just want to reload one time only...

So I got slapped with a 2% surcharge recently.

Not wanting to argue, I quickly to down the terminal issuer and made copies of the tax invoice and cc slip.

Made a total of 4 complaints ( a new record ) to

1. Issuing bank's cc
2. Merchant's bank
3. Central bank of Malaysia
4. Customs department as well.

Hope it will teach them a lesson. :/

They are GST registered.

I assume the extra amount will not go to Custom's pockets. So gonna try my luck and lodge a complaint with them as well to ensure compliance in some sense.

Customs so far, my best bet so far. Complaint about few GST registered people, they reacted fast and slapped them with hefty fine laugh.gif

Imagine 2% for 20-30 people a day, they would've received almost extra 100-1XXX per day.

Maybe should lodge a complaint to LHDN as well hahaha.

I'm always curious on the accounting treatment for merchant who charges surcharges on credit card usage laugh.gif

So I got slapped with a 2% surcharge recently.

Not wanting to argue, I quickly to down the terminal issuer and made copies of the tax invoice and cc slip.

Made a total of 4 complaints ( a new record ) to

1. Issuing bank's cc
2. Merchant's bank
3. Central bank of Malaysia
4. Customs department as well.

Hope it will teach them a lesson. :/

Now only I know if transactions below RM 250 do not require PIN, not sure if it's applicable to all cards or just CIMB.
Hopefully can activate PIN for all amounts.

I was told bank charged them 2%-3% for using the cc terminal, if the item they sell very minimal margin and don't charge the 2% back to customer they'll lose money. I don't know it's true or not.

I key in all the time when I was in China regardless the amount. Really safer rather than PIN for certain amounts.
Anyway, if today somebody picks up our card also can swipe it with no hassle.

Depends on terminal rental agreement.

And honestly, most shop's margin is roughly 10~20% if not they won't be selling tongue.gif

Don't care whether they lose money or not, I don't see this practice being done in countries like HK, US and UK.

What you see is what you pay. No such BS as need to cough up extra.

Heck, even customs would be interested to hear about it.

Err, meaning that the price of the item excludes GST?

If the price already includes GST, another 6% would means that they are double collecting? laugh.gif

My case was they charged the extra 2% into the CC, but the tax invoice's different.

what they did was they took my final amount and multiplied by 0.02 which is equivalent to 2% and not 0.02% as they wrote at the cashier. i already suspected their mistake as nobody would charge 0.02% to customers as it's a very small amount which can be just absorbed by the merchant anyway.

This 2% thingy normally is the charge that the merchant has to pay to Visa/Master or Amex... normally for small merchant their margin is very low, that's why they charged the merchant fees to the customer.

for this type of merchant, just pay cash. i don't think BNM has anything to do with that. well, that's my opinion though.

reversal meaning it is 'absorbed' by the merchant or the bank?

Just write there :

The price shown on receipt differs with CC slip.

Note the time date stamp on both items.

Now with GST, they won't dare to adjust the tax invoice to make up for the 2% they charge you.

If they do, they'll be in a bigger trouble with Customs for GST.

Anyways, they credit back the amount as per the official tax invoice for my case.

I think bank absorb 1st, then fine the merchant?

I heard if more than 3-5 complaints, will revoke the terminal.

I feel like purposely go there 10 times and swipe CC each time to ensure they get fined every single time tongue.gif

Yup, did that. I applied Maybank and CIMB. I don't understand why kena reject. Annual income according to payslip is >RM50k, but part time allowances around RM15k per annum not in the payslip. 50.08% DSR according to online calculator. Any experts here can clarify?

Around midnight yesterday, as I was losing the deathly battle against my urge to chain smoke while starting on my draft copy of The Best Credit Cards in Malaysia - Episode III, I took a break and visited LYN. And our sweet and ever ready to assist MOD, fruitie, highlighted to me at Recommendation of Credit Cards Thread that one can now pay his/her PTPTN Education Loan with credit cards!

Well, guess what, instead of continuing to draft my Top 10 Best Credit Card article, I spent the entire day wasting time researching and drafting an article on PTPTN loans. And I have just published my article titled Paying PTPTN Education Loan with Credit Cards. Besides telling you where you can pay your PTPTN loans with credit cards, the article has very little info that can assist most of you regulars here in respect to what card is the best for paying PTPTN loans.

The article was written not only to give you an insight as to how you may be able to earn some FREE Pocket Money using credit cards to pay your PTPTN Education Loan; but to highlight that you can save more money by opting for a shorter duration to repay PTPTN loans.

CTOS I don't know but CCRIS from Bank Negara Malaysia.

Go to BNM yourself, there will be terminals/PC where you insert your NRIC and you can then print your CCRIS report.

Just went and printed my CCRIS report and saw the damned RHB card is still there and the highest limit of all banks. How can I get RHB remove this so that it won't show on my CCRIS? Should I scan a copy of CCRIS report to show to them? I don't think I should because this is considered confidential for me.

Have read through the posts here, but can't find the relevant answer to my question.

My question is : A bank pre-approved and issued me a credit card which was bundle with other facilities such as Housing Loan (I did not apply for it but the bank just issued the credit card to me). I did not activate the card and immediately call to cancel the card. In future if I would like to apply any credit card from the same bank, will I still be considered as new customer ?

Thank you and appreciate if anyone could answer.

I can see ICBC is pending and assigned limit is RM 10k. sad.gif
But I know it's already rejected.

So should I straight send to BNM so that I don't need to print my CCRIS report again?

I am quite sure when you bought your house, while you sign all those documents given to you, there is a credit card application form attached . I bought a car, this thing happened. I bought my house, this thing happened as well. But of course, you will only be a "new to bank" applicant after 6 months you cancelled the card.

I still have the email I got from RHB that it is already removed from my CCRIS. Then I went and reinstated my card but with lower limit, however the limit shows the earlier higher limit I got when I first applied. doh.gif

Which mean under any circumstances as long as I cancelled the card for more than 6 months, I will be considered as "new to bank" applicant, regardless I was previously an active customer. Thank you thank you. rclxms.gif

You are welcome. This thing happened because those bank agents , motivated by extra commission, added credit card application on top of our original transaction. Usually when you sign your SPA, or HP agreement, they will make you sign the credit card application form as part of the procedure. So to forumers out there, whatever you sign for, please make sure that is what you are looking for.

Saw some posts here mentioned that CC is accepted for PTPTN payment. Is there any charges for it? Because I remember last time they only accept debit card and there is a fee for paying using debit card.

Paid directly from LHDN website right? So one can use those 1% CC or watami for CB right?

yes, just inform the cs about it and they will process the transfer to your savings account. but it depends on which bank, some take long time, some very fast, some very fussy and need you to provide details to prove it. so which bank is yours?

it depends on banks/cc actually. some forms don't have the column to fill in the preferred name to appear on cc. but since you are able to put your preferred name, then it will be approved. biggrin.gif

The form got " Name on the Card" column , put in My 'Preferred Name" for the Card but It Came back with Name follow our NRIC

But however, 100% Confirm that, we can have our "Preferred Name " on HSBC Card. nod.gif

well if u use the 'prefer name' and the name is not match with your IC real name.. then how? i never experience this haha.. would the merchant rejected for swiping?

Just curious.

Late payments would mean there would be some kinda record on the CCRIS record even thou the finance charges/late payment are eventually reversed out by the bank right?

Was told to defer my payment until investigations are completed but I don't want to risk a strike on my records. Any opinion on this mater?

If your conversation with the CS (since you said you were told, i assumed you called up CS) was recorded, then it's ok to listen.
Otherwise, you should call up CS to clarify again.

I don't feel comfortable deferring such a huge sum while waiting for their investigations and not having any form of legal acknowledgement.

I drafted an email and CC-ed in BNM for safety. I should receive a fast reply soon now that I pulled in BNM into this.

I don't want to have 2 strikes on my CCRIS when it's not even my fault to begin with sweat.gif

I have replied from BNM they will investigate this matter on 6% GST extra charges and will revert me back soonest

meanwhile i have met custom high ranking officer and he informed me he will issue compound to that particular shop

i suggest you channel to BNM and meet custom officer face to face with proofs, of course.

Guys, I'm have been using Maybankard 2 Cards for two years and I wonder if I can upgrade to the platinum cards if my income doesn't satisfy the requirements?

Basically I may need to travel overseas for a business trip and my current gold cards credit limit is not good enough, and the benefits aren't as good as the platinum as well when used overseas.

Short answer - Unlikely can upgrade.

However - Can try your luck by writing in and see how it goes? Sometimes they will consider other factors as well.

As for credit limit, submit your latest 3-6 months salary and ask if they can adjust accordingly?

Maybank is pretty strict when it comes to salary requirement.

Anyway, what are the benefits that Plat has which Gold doesn't have? Travel insurance? I have the Plat but I never use credit card's insurance, always buy my own travel insurance if I'm traveling for leisure. Business trips will be covered by company's travel insurance.

As for credit limit, you can submit your latest payslip to Maybank to increase your credit limit. smile.gif

Hey all,

Just wanted to check if it is normal for credit card companies not to provide reasons when rejecting credit card applications?
I find this odd as why they cannot tell me the reasons for the rejection.
Is this normal practice for all credit card companies?

Thanks.

I don't understand, what credit card companies that you are referring to? Isn't all credit cards are under banks' facility? Except for Aeon because it is not a bank to begin with. Other like RinggitPlus are just third party agent.

Anyway, not only Malaysia but China as well, banks cannot share the rejection reason. Good that it is not a BNM's rule, next time I can quote this if any bank rejects me.

A scenario as below:

Let's say annual fee is charged to my credit card on 20-Jan-2016.

I do not want to pay and let's say I terminate on 21-Jan-2016. No usage after AF is charged.

Q1: Do I need to ensure that there is no outstanding amount by 20-Jan-2016 so that I can terminate without paying the AF? Or I can settle any outstanding amount even after the AF is charged?

Q2: The 'no usage' after AF is charged refers to swipes only right? If a cashback is credited after the AF is charged, is that considered as usage?

Thank you

Im not sure with with MBB..
But However others bank will,
i)They X allow u to cancel your CC if got Outstanding balance in, They will make sure u clear all hutang before can procced to cancellation

ii) Auto debit (billing) also consider as an "usage" & I believe, once the CC have cancelled u x get any CB (even ) previous month CashBack.

Need Make sure inform the service provider of any auto billing early on change your CC or they make any charges on the CC that u want to terminate...

Your (i) is for Maybank? Yes, my question is for Maybank too laugh.gif

Meaning it is okay to have outstanding amount after they charged the AF, as long as I clear the outstanding before cancellation.

What if the AF is charged but I wait for the cashback to enter first before cancellation? Is that ok? Will they consider the cashback as 'usage'?

The date of AF charged and cash back credited in is just 3-4 days.

Sorry,Typo abit on my 1st reply...

Most of the Bank charge their AF not late than a month or on the next statement

I x think CB is an "Usage" becos it's the bank who credit back "What we have Earn" to our account...

How about CCRIS? It still depends how the bank assesses you, different bank different assessment.
Anyway, I suggest you not to be aggressive, apply one or two at once. Good luck!

sorry to say but truth hurts

if your record is too clean.. then be prepare to get for rejection as banks don't know you and your payment pattern

even high income applicants get rejections too , some times...

if you have hire purchase or mortage loan then its easy to get cc

moreover banks are tighten their tap on unsecured loans

Yes, no credit history will lead to rejection. Hence, always start with your salary bank.

That said, I got my first card even with clean record. I applied CIMB Direct Access card that time which was meant for fresh grads.

not at all when comes to unsecured lending because the reason they gave 'u can take those fd out anytime'

but having fds for some period definitely will help a bit in applying mortage loan or hire purchase loan which define as 'secured lending'

dont believe? give a try thumbup.gif

except bank define you as a 'high net worth customers'

no, it doesn't. unless you use that fd to pledge for your cc. they will give you an agreement whereby you need to terminate your cc before you are allowed to withdraw your fd.

For this one time only, I am considering to delay the payment of my TNB bill to maximize my CB quota.

From TNB website:

QUOTE
1% Late Payment Penalty Charge

The penalty charge will be imposed if payment is made later than 30 days after the bill date

The amount is calculated based on 1% (simple interest) of the outstanding bill amount, multiplied by number of days outstanding.

For example: Total billed amount: RM1,000.00 Bill date: 1 May 2010 Date of payment: 10 June 2010

Days outstanding: 10 days Penalty charge: 1000 x 1% x 10/30 : RM3.33


The penalty is not high for 1-2 days delay. My question is, under what circumstances will TNB disconnect the supply?

question about the pin and pay, existing card which already have pin ( for ATM access ), is that compatible with the pin and pay? or they still need to replace a new card to compatible with pin for payment?

My newly approved mach card confirm is a pinandpay card. How do I confirm there is a need to get replacement for pinandpay enabled card for my MBB 2 card, Ikhwan, watami?

Below is an extract of definition of 'retail transaction' from ambank in response to my query.

'Please be advised that "Eligible Retail Transactions" means the purchase of any goods or services (local and international) with the use of the credit card and may, at the Bank absolute discretion, include any card transaction as may be determined by the Bank except for the following transactions:

a. Easy Payment Plan, Balance Transfer, QuickCash and Cash Advance; and/or
b. Any form of refund; and/or
c. Any dispute, unauthorized or fraudulent retail transaction; and/or
d. Interest / Management Fee payments, late payment charges, charges for cash withdrawals, Government Service Tax, Goods and Services Tax and any other form of service/miscellaneous fees.'

I would like to know is the definition of 'retail transaction' throughout majority of the Malaysian bank (such as Maybank, hong leong etc) similar or does it differ from bank to bank?

retail transaction like u swipe over groceries, telco , online spending , (non government transactions) ...

government transactions are like when u pay saman .. insurance (some bank treat is as retail) . best is to check with them,

PIN and Pay card will be equipped with higher security measures in the chip.

and yes, all old cards that are not pin and pay ready will be replaced gradually this year.
No, you don't have to request for it to change. the bank will most likely send a new replacement as the card reaches its anniversary.

does anyone know how do the banks calculate your per annum income? how do we know we earn enough to qualify
according to my EA form, i definitely earn much more than the per annum requirement by the card, but still the bank rejects my application based on the reason that my per annum income was not enough...
the documents that i submitted on the spot are only IC & KWSP for the last year 2015

Just your (monthly salary + fixed income) x 12. Payslip is good enough and KWSP statement will further help.
However, it still depends on banks' assessment. Your credit history will be reviewed, so if you owe banks before, then chances are low. That said if your credit history is too clean is also another problem, so best to apply from your salary crediting bank.

When i apply mach by hong leong, i saw they enter income via EPF is by entering the last 6 month of epf member contributtion. The system then calculate the average contribution and determine the annum income based on 11% contribution rate.

Note : for annual income less than 36000 can only hold maximum 2 cards based on BNM rules.

2 banks' cards actually. It's because all credit limit will be shared for the same bank.

P/s: Not the same for M2Cards and Ikhwan because not sharing same limit.

Just your (monthly salary + fixed income) x 12. Payslip is good enough and KWSP statement will further help.
However, it still depends on banks' assessment. Your credit history will be reviewed, so if you owe banks before, then chances are low. That said if your credit history is too clean is also another problem, so best to apply from your salary crediting bank.

Last month i submitted an application for a credit card which has a minimum annual income requirement. As i wanted it urgently, i did not wait for my january payslip to come through for the application. I sent in my latest 3 months payslip at the time of submission, and a letter from HR confirming my annual income (to show that i reached the min annual income requirmnt). Actually, if they used the payslips that i submitted and x 12, they will not get the min requiremnt as my increment is shown only on the january slip (which i could not wait due to urgency as i mentioned earlier).

Even with my new salary increment and x12, will not get the min requirement. Therefore at the time of submission, I was solely relying on my HR letter, which multiply my monthly salary by 14 (not 12), as our company has a 2months fixed bonus yearly, no more and no less.

My point is, at least in my case, i do think they are also taking into consideration othr things rather than monthly salary x12. When i submitted, wasnt even confident that they will approve my apllication.

Anyway, i received the HR letter not for the sole purpose of applying for credit card. Coincidentally i was applying for home loan end of last year.

Letter is just a supoorting and it is not the main document. Main documents are still payslips. I'm also a HR and usually we prepare the letter as supporting on top of their payslip.

Just resubmit again in March after you have enough 3 months latest payslip showing your new salary.

bank will send us the new pin and pay card on our card annivesary regardless of our expiry date, right?

The new card i believe will have same card number, but how about the CVV number or expiry date? Will it be different?

Do I need to update all auto billing / paypal linked / ps store linked credit card information?

Yes, U need to inform the update with THEM, becos the Expiry Date of the PIN card will be different as compared to your existing card.

With chip and PIN, the responsibility of a fraud is pushed to the merchants and customers instead of the banks.
I foresee future disputes on any fraudulent case will end up in tug of war with the merchants in future.

14.7 VARIATION
The Cardmember agrees that Maybank shall be at liberty and reserves the right to vary, add to or amend the terms and conditions under this
Agreement or arrangements (including the privileges made available by Maybank in connection with the Credit Card whether such privileges are
set out herein or elsewhere) whenever Maybank deems necessary by giving Twenty One (21) calendar days prior notice before the implementation.

Banks are still involved in the governance of the CC.

Whether they like it or not, a dispute must be raised and settled through banks.

If they are not willing to work for their paycheck ( In my case, UOB Malaysia pushing me to deal with the merchant ), I just complaint to Bank Negara and Tribunal for faster action.

In fact, I have 10 missed calls in the past 2 hours after Bank Negara send them an email ordering them to respond to me directly.

Grandmother story short :

Issuing banks are still in charge of the disputes, as per stipulated by Visa/Master/Amex International.

I remember got Bank and Finance Act to support this argument as well, just that I don't have enough time to dive through the books laugh.gif

If you ask merchant to settle with you, end up nothing will happen one. Coz most M'sia merchants are dishonest as crap.

No offense for those who are honest.

Likely yes.

You'll be issued a new card, so it's safe to assume that you have to update your details with those auto payment so that they could capture the information in the system.

I applied rhb, citibank. both got rejected.

requirements all passed.
maybe my record is too clean.
And when I asked the personal banker, she said "oh you need a cc to apply a cc."
How am I supposed to get a cc when all I've applied rejected my applications.

Any advice?

Maybe wait for 1-2 months later baru U submit Fresh Application, becos if the bank sees that you're applying for more than one card in a short time as they may Assume U Desperately needed $$$ & hence of desperate ppl don't make Good Credit, they might not willing to grant you a CC.
Try to have the Basic CC from local bank to build up your Credit History 1st, after that baru apply the Foreign Bank's punyai... nod.gif

The actual reason for the registration is that once your credit card is renewed - 2 infos will change. (Assuming that your cc number does not change) Namely your card's expiry date and CVV info.

Nothing to do about updating your other personal info as stated by another forummer - just that these 2 details will change. To note that CC card change only happens once in a few years. (depending on the card issuer, it can be as long as 5 years) Personally I don't see this as a major inconvenience as this is done once off every few years. The other scenario where cc update will happen is when you lose your credit card and you will be issued a fresh card with all details changed. In this scenario, card update is a consumer protection and should not be viewed as troublesome unless you want to give out free money to the people who stole your card!

why? because you wanted to pump few cents a transaction just to meet the min 12x for the af waiver? brows.gif

i did not personally tried it, but i believe it will be counted as a transaction for the af waiver, although you won't be getting any cb for that.

hello..i have a question regarding "new to bank". usually, banks will give more privilege to those who are new to bank. for example, last time public bank have promo get luggage bag or somethin if apply for their credit card, but only for those who are new to the bank. those that already have other pbb credit card not entitled for the gift if they apply for that type of cc.

for my situation, i applied for home loan to a few banks. then without me knowing, i received many cc's from most of the banks. when i call a call center for one of the banks (it's cimb), i told them i want to cancel the cc they gave me, and can i be considered new to bank in the system coz technically i did not apply for their CC, their ans is no. Coz when i applied for the home loan, i have agreed and signed that the home loan and cc is part of a bundle package.

the thing is, I never signed anything! i only gave my documents for home loan application, so even if there is a document, maybe the officer would have signed it for me????

my question is:

1. is there any way that I can still be considered "new to bank" by showing that they never get any consent from me? I don't even have anythg to prove anyway, but just asking if anyone got experience

2. not related to cc, but is it normal for home loan application, not to have any forms to be filled etc? I applied for 6 banks and 4 out of 6 did not ask for my signature, did not ask me to fill up forms..

1. You can cancel the card and after some time (6 months to 1 year, depending on bank), you'll be considered new to bank again. If you are sure you didn't sign a credit card application form, you can complain to bank and BNM about this.

2. Based on my personal experience with several banks, the loan officer will include an empty credit card application form and ask you to sign when applying for home loan. Most people will just sign it and the loan officer will fill up the form for them.

1. Sometimes, even the application forms will state so. So read carefully before you apply tongue.gif

2. Nope, usually they'll need your signature as an indicator of consent.

Number 2 is very correct. Read what you sign before you put your signatures on it.

Loan officers are a bunch of cheeky people. I got plenty of "unwanted" CC from banks when I apply for Term Loans as well laugh.gif

OK thanks very much. Like I said, I did not fill up any forms for 4 out of 6 of the banks. So I assume the officer filled it up for me, altho I don't know how would they put down the signature if I wasn't the one signing it up. Since I am on a long leave and have no printer/scanner at home, I had to go to the shop to print, and then to scan when the form is being signed (i.e. take effort to do) , so I am aware if I sign something or if I don't.

I would suggest you to file a complaint direct to Bank Negara. 4 banks doing this paint a very bad picture. If they can forge signatures for CC application, who knows what else they have been doing.

Hey credit card pros. Wanna ask if there are other ways to get a credit card if you have a bad credit rating ? (I am servicing several loans which are tied to a few properties hence the bad rating). Also my recent card applications rejected due to this.

I did not choose to get the complimentary credit card when I applied for the loan so that's out of the question.

I know you can also deposit a certain FD amount with the bank to get the credit card as well.

Any other ways ? Wanna get a particular credit card for rebates tongue.gif

Your credit available is confusing, it is RM 300.++ or RM 3000.++?
If it is only RM 300.++ (three hundred plus), you cannot but if it is RM 3000.++ (three thousand plus) then you can buy.

By this I assume your "2100++" means RM 2.1k+ (two thousand plus).

If your credit limit is insufficient and you really want to buy that item, you have the below choices:
i) Clear your outstanding bills to ensure sufficient amount for your item.
ii) Top up your credit limit by cash, i.e. pay via CDM, IBG from other bank
iii) Call to bank for temporary credit limit increase but this is very tough unless you have a proper justification, like due to emergency in overseas, pay hospital bills and etc.

Maybe wait for 1-2 months later baru U submit Fresh Application, becos if the bank sees that you're applying for more than one card in a short time as they may Assume U Desperately needed $$$ & hence of desperate ppl don't make Good Credit, they might not willing to grant you a CC.
Try to have the Basic CC from local bank to build up your Credit History 1st, after that  baru apply the Foreign Bank's punyai... nod.gif

May i know which credit card gives the best unlimited cash back for general purchase? Eg Paying for education fees of >RM10k per transaction, general retail purchase (non-groceries/department store)?
I have Watami - but its been maxed out.
Lately HLB essential also cuts its rate to 0.6%
OCBC is 1-1.2%/ but capped at RM1000.

Any recommendations? Thank you!

ocbc second as after first 1k at 1% you still can get 0.5% subsequently unlimited.
watami after first 5k/quarter at 3% you still can get 0.4% subsequently unlimited.

Essential after 5k will be unlimited 1%, first 5k is 0.6%.
Only OCBC GE is that, not all OCBC cards are the same.

For Watami, I think first 5k is 3.4% to be actual rebate right ? Since every transaction also entitled point reward

I have GE life policy, so that's doesn't impact me. Based on TnC, IPP also get 1%, so I could switch my premium payment to annually for Auto-IPP and get cashback for monthly IPP?
If that is the case, I can save some % when they convert to cash value in premium since is a no % for annual payment, this would be some downgraded replacement for quarterly 3%

The AF is killing the product. I think it was meant as an alternative for those without GE policy, before they open the GE cards to non-holders.

Guys,

Here's my situation:
1. Used my CC on 01/01/16 at 0009 & 0024

2. However, in my CC statement, it was stated as 31/12/15 transactions

3. Filed a report to the CS about the mistakes in my statement

4. CS amended the mistakes, but now my transactions dates were changed to 2nd & 3rd January 2016

5. Enquired CS how they came up with so many different dates & these were their reply:
a) tarikh transaksi yang tertera dalam penyata adalah berbeza dengan tarikh transaksi sebenar seperti mana yang direkodkan dalam sistem bank kami iaitu pada 31 Disember 2015 disebabkan ia melibatkan sistem Visa International yang berada di zon masa yang berbeza

b) Perkara ini telah dirujuk ke unit yang berkenaan dan kami dapati sistem sms telah dihantar kepada pemegang kad sejurus transaksi dicajkan ke akaun kad kredit (tidak kira samada transaksi berjaya atau tidak).
pihak kami dapati, perbezaan tarikh yang tertera adalah disebabkan ianya melibatkan pihak ketiga (Visa International) di mana sistem tersebut berpusat di Amerika Syarikat yang berada di zon masa yang berbeza


Based on the reply from CS, is that a valid reason for the dissimilarity of my transaction dates in my CC statement?

i mean if you give the details of your cc they will auto debit every month so let's say insurance, the insurance provider when they process your card, i am guessing their payment gateway would be put as insurance so is that how the credit card companies know which categories it belongs to ?

Similar thing happened to me last year while I was overseas. The transaction date shown in my statement followed the local time of the place I used the card, not Malaysian time. I'm guessing you made an online payment to a company based overseas?

Sounds like the same SOP for Expedia.

I got charged full amount despite there stating will charge on XX date.

Thus, I conclude that full payment has been charged despite how they offer not to charge until a certain date.

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.

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.

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

you see here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=78857807

said existing watami will be terminated and replaced with other aeon card. so once it happen, need to arrange for prudential auto debit dy.

Younique is tier based. RM1000 monthly spending is confirmed so better get the 1% or RM120 per year in pocket first.

Yup, I saw the post sharing by some one there, but still haven't confirm yet.

I will still spend on Watami Card since the point almost reach 12500

for Younique, if take RM1000 as example, ya OCBC GE is better, but if monthly spending is higher (RM2000 >) could be consider on this card too

Thredshold is around 1500.
Ge get 1000x1% + 500*0.5% = 12.5
Younique get 1000* 0.5% + 500*1.5% = 12.5
If over rm1500 spend, i believe younique is better.
Btw, younique cashback include insurance? i didnt see it mention from their TnC, so would consider include?

you see here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=78857807

said existing watami will be terminated and replaced with other aeon card. so once it happen, need to arrange for prudential auto debit dy.

Younique is tier based. RM1000 monthly spending is confirmed so better get the 1% or RM120 per year in pocket first.

Alliance You:nique is good for transaction up to RM3000 base on tiering below:

Tier 1 RM0 to RM1000 = 0.5%
Tier 2 RM1001 to RM2000 = 1.5%
Tier 3 RM2001 to RM3000 = 3%
Tier 4 RM3001 to unlimited = 0.3%

If you spent RM3000, you will get RM50 cash back (equivalent to 1.67% cash back). Still a good cash back card.

How do you apply for your You:nique card?

Upload the image and type your details? Then they contact you to submit your form?
