ok. deposit 20k into the PBB card, with that your available limit will be 27k
then BT the 5k MBB FIRST, and swipe the 21k PTPTN for 6mth flexipay.

with that, you will have some savings left, and also u will not need to pay anything to PBB for few mths as you have a credit of 20k, each month will deduct around 4.5k.
*
Based on this, seems like limit is 80% of available limit, not credit limit, for PBB's balance transfer.

But how did you lamode get outstanding of more than CL? Cash infusion as above? Wouldn't that mean outstanding still less than CL?

Hi guys, i have a credit limit of 10k and have applied 8k from PBB 12 mths 0% BT (80%). Can I apply another BT of same amount? Sorry for asking noob question..
*
No, your BT amount is already deducted from your credit limit so the second application will not be allowed. There's some tricks people mentioned a few pages back but by the book cannot.

25k accumulated from BT and one-off 0% cash out across 2-3 months, AKPK also start calling me already. no missed payments.

Is that a huge amount relative to your income? My peak BT across various banks was like 50% more than that and never gotten any calls.

For me, no. After spreading into 6/12 months installments (of course, the public bank one), lagi no. I just told them those are 0% offered by banks and no problem paying, and they said goodbye. heh.

wahh only 50% above me? I thought you guys play until 6 figures, the more the merrier. that day littleflower also one off bomb almost 50k.

maybe something triggered since I've been doing BT via public bank each month. mostly 2k each, not the 5 figures type.
*
Different people play different la. I only play as much as I can settle lump sum if something were to happen.... those with more liquidity (or more risk appetite) may play quite differently.

Let bankers calculate first, don't go and rush to clear your BT.

This is the best advise. Don't prematurely give yourself headache.

Or can 'clear' majority of the BT (not all) to avoid penalty.

8% p.a. For 36 months comes To total 24% interest (8% x 3)

Totally not worth it

Actually a bit more than that. But whatever it is it's still super not worth it. You pay multiple times more than the 'gift' price.

you just tell tham it was BT? and they straight approve? or give other excuse why over transfered to CC?

I don't think anyone has ever gotten it rejected. Just some 'warnings' that "one time only" etc. It's our money, they just want a report for Bank Negara as to why such a big amount being withdrawn.

You made a random statement (based on simplistic logic), it's no one's job to enlighten you, especially when there's plenty of resources available for anyone who wants to read up. Try diversification for starters.

guys is it advisable or possible for me to get another credit card to do balance transfer (maybank current 0% 12mth installment with 1-time of 3% of service fees)

I belong to the lowest tier group of min rm24k income per annum, has maybank 2 gold cards, not tied to any loan, except PTPTN, have no late records for payment of cc n PTPTN

Personally, for me, current maybank cc is sufficient for my usage already, but i need around rm4k to pay my exam fee (it is outside my plan due to sudden company restructure as i planned to take it next year, but now have to take this year, so Im now lack of buffering cash to pay it coz i already put my savings in investment, i mean the worst case scenario, i could pull part of them out to pay my exam fee, but im trying to look for better option)

therefore, im eyeing on the CIMB Cash Rebate Platinum Credit Card which has 0 annual fee n min rm24k income per annum, so is it possible for me to successfully apply? if possible, then can I just let it to sit there without any swipe after the balance trasnfer? will it tarnish my credit score?
*
Better you apply for one of the AEON cards (6 month true 0%). Pay with your maybank CC and then BT to AEON. Why pay 3% if you don't have to? 4k over 6 months is 666 per month.

am in need 20k fast cash. currently have maybank cc with 3k credit limit. every month i pay atleast 1k to 3k but everytime also maxed out cos use that card to pay bills.

now need 20k urgently so thinking to apply new cc with 20k credit limit and do cash withdrawal. what i know the charge is 5%. is there any other way to waive this 5%? i read about cash advance program and not completely understand it. i also plan to do balance transfer to other bank to get 0% balance transfer rate.

can someone advice on bank, promotion and so on. and best way to get my 20k without much charges. btw i can repay about 1500 permonth and i only looking for islamic card.

my salary is rm6k/mo and rm3k/mo from business gross.
*
Why you willing to eat the 5% charge? Cash advance fee is 5%, and then daily interest, so you end up paying MUCH MORE than 5% for cash withdrawal. Rule of thumb, never do cash withdrawal.

You have not mentioned why you need 20k fast cash, so I just need to state here - be very careful of scam. Anyone promising you very good return, sure thing, etc. is likely a scammer.

That being said, it's weird that you have 6k/mo salary but only 3k credit limit. I recommend not playing around with balance transfer get a proper loan (or pajak gadai some of your personal items).

got free cc when getting loan for my car in 2011. 3k by default n never increase the limit. its family matter and actually im asking on behalf of my wife. her day job gross her 6.3k a month and side income 3-4k. last year her total income 141k. tbh we dont want personal loan becos wr can pay back all 20k in 2-3 months. if personal loan we will lose much more. becos of commitment she cant apply for 2years installment only 5years and we have to pay 27k in total
*
Please use multi quote...

Anyway if you only have one cc and 3k limit, easiest way may be to apply to those banks who like to give very high limit (Citi for one) yourself?

If you're confirmed able to pay back in 2-3 months even ah long is okay one....

That's not correct.

FD - 4% > This is flat rate calculation
BT 3% Upfront fee > This is also flat rate calculation

For example ,

if you put RM10K into FD with 4% per annum
RM10K X 4%= RM400

If Maybank BT with 3% upfront fee (note: is not reducing balance/ effective)
RM10k x 3% = RM300

Both also flat rate calculation and by putting money into FD will earn extra 1% if compare to Maybank BT
*
bangwall.gif

When you put RM10k into FD, when do you get the 10k back? Does the bank pay you back 10k/12 per month?

When you take BT, do you only pay back the BT lump sum at the end of tenure?

Every month you have to pay back money. Where does that come from? ADDITIONAL funds beyond what you put into FD (which you cannot access until end of tenure).

When counting financials, never forget the element of time.

And.... that money is free money? Or you're happy to get 0 interest on that money?

I don't mean it's anything unusual.  Just that in my daughter's case, she was new to Affin, in fact new to credit card, was given a credit limit of RM4,000 so the promo becomes nothing useful.

If she's new to CC then she don't have another CC to BT as well right....

That's what i've been doing with BT to get ahead.. I take the small BT interest hit, but in return, the additional cashflow that I gain, I use the money to play stocks or downpayment on property. So I come out ahead.

Playing riskier investments with borrowed money (even at the relatively low BT rates) isn't a safe strategy.
