ok...i plan to BT around 10K for the period of 6 to 12 months. which is the best? AEON? BSN? others?
*
that depends on which bank card you have right?

Personally, BT to PBB and AM is quite easy.
PBB - fill up a form, no statement , email and done.

AMBank - one phone call away.

After a quick read about the Maybank BT T&C, have some question about it.

I'm interested with either the 6 months plan with 0.5%pm or 12 months plan with 0% interest(but 3% one time fee)

My questions are as below:

- for 6 months plan, new account will be open, does it mean that if we swipe the card within the 6 months, no interest will be impose(mean we will have the same 20 days interest free cycle like normally?)

- reducing balance BT? Said we do a 5K BT, so if we pay 0.5% interest monthly(reducing balance method), the interest will be less than the one time 3% fee on 12 months plan. right?

- according to the T&C, we need to pay min 5% monthly. so can we like pay 5% for the 1st 5 months, then settle the rest on the last month? or need to pay equally every month?

Anyone tried Maybank BT before please shed some light

I did one before and it was an evenly distributed amount to pay monthly.
but there are new promotions from time to time that may have different terms and conditions.

Actually dont have any cards from those banks. I have standard chartered but it i think its high interest. So either way i need to apply the card first right? i am looking for just a BT card.

You might want to consider cards that offer you more than just BT.

Aeon Gold cards offers you free plaza premium lounge access + 6 months interest free BT.
Likewise a few other cards.

Hello sifus, credit card and balance transfer is new to me, just wondering how does this work?

So, I have two credit cards from two different banks, can I transfer both debts to one bank only and enjoy lowered interest rates? 6 months is a bit hefty IMO albeit the 0% interest, 1 year should be good. Any suggestions for the best solution will be very much appreciated!
*
If you think 6 months 0% interest is hefty, you should not have spent so much in the first place. Imagine you have to pay ALL in 20 days if there is no BT.

If they are posted at end of statement (say 20th) and if u request to change the next statement to a earlier date (say 16th), u effectively delay the BT by ~ 1 month, cos the BT transactions will still be dated on 20th n will appear on the next statement. I hope u all understand my explanation. tongue.gif
*
Different bank has different 'flexibility' in changing the statement date.

Most of them will say it will take effect in the Next cycle, which is not immediately.

0.5%? What card is that? Even MBB2Amex can earn you 1.25% equivalent cash back.

New Ambank CC holder. They said they have 0% BT.

Anyone used it?

Just so happens I have a big bill and claim coming in from an overseas trip that I charged to my other CC. Thinking of taking advantage of this. 😀

I am using it as new applicants to AmBank also.

0% for 12 months, no hidden clause. BT amount will be divided into 12 for payments.

Hai all,

Can I transfer the outstanding amount from 1 BT into another BT, from different banks.

For example, Hong Leong is having Reducing BT, so I can still see my total outstanding balance. Since I am opt for apply new Ambank Card with 0% interest (fixed payment every mth for 12 mths), I wish to transfer the remaining balance to the zero interest one. Will tat ever worked?

P.S As far as I know, Hong Leong will separate the BT account (giving 16 numbers, starting with 8) and not included in cc statment.

Thanks in advance.
*
i believe you can.

however, if my memory serves me right, Ambank imposes a penalty fee if you ever settled earlier than the 12 months on agreement. you might want to check with Ambank first before doing anything.

Anybody did BT from Ambank before? I called in last friday to apply and was told by the CR that their BT officer will call me within a few days and it'll take 14 working days for the funds to be transferred over to the other card. Oh man, I should have applied earlier, my OCBC card payment due date is on 1st Aug.

Don't think you can make it for 1Aug liao.

Wow! I'm impressed with AEON.

Submitted BT request Sunday late night. Received a call to verify this morning. And an SMS in the afternoon saying it has been approved!

Thumbs up!

I wanna ask about 2nd option.  How to show MBB via outstanding balance? Print screen the outstanding balance, and email it to them?

If the target financial institution does not require statement, there is no need to show anything.
