BT newbie has some questions:
i) wish to transfer balance to Maybank CC but how to know if Maybank 0 charge BT still available? seeing that now is only 2 weeks till the end of campaign?
ii) saw lots of comments BT hurts CCRIS/CTOS score. Is this true? How much damage can it do to the credit score?
iii) if Maybank BT 12 months still in effect, can I still apply BT (balance from another bank other than maybank) to transfer to another bank (e.g., Public)?
Thanks.

QUOTE(ClarenceT @ Aug 15 2017, 05:12 PM) Use this form to see if approved or rejected. Send by fax or email. http://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/BT010317_appform.pdfI thought online application is easier? QUOTE(chiahau @ Aug 15 2017, 05:39 PM) 2. If you plan to get a housing loan, BT will reduce your max loan margin by a significant number. I needed to clean out all my BTs before applying for the loan last time. So if no plan to apply housing loan then no need worry so much?

QUOTE(chiahau @ Aug 15 2017, 06:41 PM) Your application for new CC also will be rather difficult if u are a heavy BT addict like me. Can't get new CC to be approved due to BT  no worries, I will proceed to apply BT another Q, so they require account statement. does it mean that best way is to apply after statement is issued to hope that all BT process is completed within 20 days grace period (no need pay any fee to the current cc)?

QUOTE(snowswc @ Aug 20 2017, 05:26 PM) that is total applied in the past 12 months... every month i will apply again after i settled. total 0% BT i think is more than 200k in the past 12 months... HSBC 7k, Ambank 30k and Aeon 40k. all transfer to my housing loan to save interest. so you are credit card gou shou so you mean you can BT extra cash, and transfer the extra cash to saving and then to mortgage loan to save interest, then only pay monthly to 0% BT? but as far as I know AEON BT needs statement right? So if you want to transfer to housing loan how did you provide statement to AEON?

QUOTE(snowswc @ Aug 20 2017, 09:18 PM) very simple one.... i did my Maybank, Ambank & HSBC BT. later on use these 3 banks BT outstanding statement apply Aeon to settle lo. eventually it helps me to settle and get one more month BT. i am holding Aeon big credit card and just applied Aeon visa last week because the salesman told me can do BT again. so i will try use the same statement apply BT for Aeon big and Aeon visa again.  all my maybank, Ambank and HSBC BT. i mostly transfer to UOB because easy to transfer it out. tried HSBC & SCB before but very hard. fantastic so you BT your balance to Maybank HSBC etc, then use these statements to BT to AEON, so now you owe AEON only so what to do with UOB? Do you mean you transfer again to UOB? I want to upgrade my BT level

QUOTE(snowswc @ Aug 20 2017, 09:57 PM) is like this. e.g. My BT Maybank, HSBC & Ambank total RM 200k. which mean my monthly statement will be about RM 18k and subsequently i use these statement about RM 18k apply for Aeon 6 months 0% BT. so i still owe all the banks actually. Been told Aeon big and Aeon gold Visa can be done separately, so if it works i will use the same statement BT 2 times which will be 36k liao. As you know Maybank doesnt need statement, so all my BT will transfer to UOB credit card and transfer it out to my housing loan. pretty easy to transfer out from UOB. i done it more than 10 times in the past 6 months Cool. So the extra cash in UOB cc can be transferred to UOB savings? So we need UOB saving account to do that? If a bank doesn't allow this that mean the extra cash has to remain in the cc?

QUOTE(MNet @ Sep 10 2017, 09:04 PM) For example today i swipe 10k on CIMB CC but not yet reach my statement date, then the next day I apply BT transfer from AEON to CIMB? Or BT need to wait until the statement date? AEON requires statement. If you want apply earlier you can print screen cc transaction, it worked for me before however no harm wait until statement date as you have 20 days grace period, more than enough for BT

Saw that PBBank early settlement got charge RM100 so let's say BT 6k, i.e., 1k per month let's say second month I suddenly transfer 5k to my PBB cc then the 5k auto pay off BT hence I will get charged RM100?

QUOTE(mamamia @ Oct 4 2017, 10:13 PM) No, it won’t auto pay to ur BT, early settlement need to request manually.. The excess payment will shown as credit balance in ur acc and then will it deduct automatically monthly for the excess credit?

QUOTE(mamamia @ Oct 5 2017, 10:16 PM) Yes, excess credit will deduct with ur credit card usage BT u need to check with the officer whether there is current campaign for new cardholder Normally less than 5 working days can settle thanks just feel strange then who will manually request early settlement? I can't see any benefit?

Another Q is saw some people apply >80% CL of PBB BT. If I tried that and got rejected, will it somehow affect my credit rating of PBB towards me? or is it better to play safe?
