My UOB BT seems to be approve already. I see they created a separate cc account for it. Am I right to assume that the they will generate a statement for this and i need to do the payment into this new account? after the 6 month BT term has ended they will just close this account?

I having BT with UOB too, this month for my 12/12 BT.

Yup, separate account number will be created for BT, and a statement will be generated contain with your BT & CC account.

You can either pay to BT or CC account for total statement balance, it will split eventually

For closing of account, at the moment I still able to see the BT account, will make a call see whether or not can remove once I paid off.

How you all got selected? High spending or privilege card holder?

It has been disclosed la. When u call CS for refund to CASA they will request that u email them proof of BT payment.

Proof of BT payment is definitely required. Despite provided proof of BT payment, they are reluctant to transfer to CASA. Anyone has experienced this?

Yes, the super duper important item in HLB BT is the special 0% interest "EXPIRY DATE"!!! [Record this down !!!]
I had real life experience and would like to share below:
The Expiry Date will be notified upon BT approval over phone; and printed on 5th statement (I missed that!!) as mentioned by ronnie.

Follow this for no interest charged:
E.g. Stmt Date = 1st; Due Date = 21st. First stmt date= 1-Oct-16; last stmt due date= 21-Mar-17; Expiry Date= 1-Mar-17.
Pay 5% of outstanding before Due Date (21st) for the first 5 months.
Pay (all outstanding - RM50) before the 6th STATEMENT DATE (which is the EXPIRY DATE), i.e. 1-Mar-17.
Pay the last RM50 on Expiry Date + 1day.

I was charged 18% interest as I was aiming to pay (All - RM50) by 21st for the final month (21-Mar-17).
I was lucky to find out about this deadly EXPIRY DATE on 2-Mar-17 (one day after expiry).
HLB said if pay all today (since it is Expiry+1day) will be no interest charged.
Long story short, I IBFT all on 6-Mar-17, and got charged 4 days interest (2nd to 5th Mar).

I am now on a new BT offer, HLB advise leave RM50 before the Expiry Date, and pay the RM50 on Expiry+1day.
Not too complicated after all, but painful lesson. All in all, still gain from the FD interest.  icon_rolleyes.gif  :thumbsup:

mamamia, were you able to leave only RM5 for the last payment? I was advise to leave RM50 by HLB.
*
This expiry date thingy is only for HLB BT? Not aware this imposed by other banks?

Good point .... I remember UOB BT must settle on the same day of Statement Date sad.gif

UOB BT got such rule?

I remembered only HLB BT the agent explicitly mention this point.

Can confirm UOB BT have such rule to fully settle the payment on last statement date instead of the due date?

Any one facing issue lately applying MBB BT from PBB credit card? Earlier, PBB was reluctant to transfer to CASA after BT.

REASON: due to the amount requested in the form and statement balance shown is different. Please note that for balance transfer, you are not allowed to transfer more than amount stated in the statement.

No statement required if opt for online BT

You can try my suggestion then.

CIMB - 6 months BT for 0%

HSBC - 6 months 0% used to be around. Not sure if the 12 is still available.

Ambank - 6 months also

PBB - Always auto extend 6 months 0%

You should go an apply a MBB and the second card shortly. Then you can manage the BT rather easily.

Cimb & Ambank have 0% BT? For all or selected customer?
