you can just pay the min amount, the rest of the balance (RM9.5k) will be interest free until the end of the 0% BT tenure.
but remember not to use this card, those retail transactions will kena interest.  bangwall.gif

Why using the card for retail transaction will be charged interest after BT? Is this general in BT or specific to that CC?

Sometimes I wonder why banks offer pure %0 BT. Don't they have better place to invest those money? Are they hoping most applicants won't pay on time so they can charge higher interest?

I can't find in T&C and FAQ. Are you working in Maybank?

Mine is super quick...
The money is already in other bank cc account, now minus RM400.
I thought I'm going to use this sum in the meantime of the process of BT

I apply through M2U. Straight away got email application approve.
Later that day (15 Sep) got also SMS mentioned BT approve.
On Friday (16 Sep) got another SMS mention BT amount already transfer to other bank
Today, check the other bank, the amount already deducted.

Do you know whether you got that 0% upfront fee? How do we confirm we will get 0% upfront free?

Hi guys and girls,

I am wondering

- if I use my HSBC credit card to swipe a transaction worth of RM 15,000.00 and I apply for BT using my MBB CC, is there any management fees charged upon the applicatoon?

==> Upfront fee upon approval, not upon application.

- what if my MBB CC has limit of RM 15,000.00 only, do you think the BT will be allowed?

==> Normally you can't BT 100% of your credit limit.

- Also, can BT take half of the outstanding amount (RM 7500.00) from my HSBC CC?

==> Half of statement balance no problem.

Thank you.

Agreed smile.gif. Cashback for me since Jan 2016 is 6800. Haven't included the BT interest savings and free gifts (2 luggage bags, 1 blender, 1 Coffee maker). I only started this in late 2014 and used to lurk in LYN to learn. Now it's more of a hobby than a task.

Back to the BT topic. I am going to try Maybank2u BT application this week for just 1200 to experiment how long it takes and whether I get auto approved or rejected. Curious to see if they will ask me for statements, or if it's really simple. Based on previous posts, looks like people have different experiences.

Mind to share how do you get cash back for more than RM 500?

Since some apply credit limit increase for mbb bt, i thought of the same. However, I wonder why must give consent to bank to disclose personal data to external parties. Is there any other way to apply credit limit increase (without giving consent to disclose personal data)?

To all readers

This thread has now reached its limit and application for a new TS is now welcome.
Interested parties do submit your application and all applications will be considered throughly before a new thread version is allowed to proceed.

I'm rather divided whether this thread remains relevant but nevertheless as long as there is still interest then I'll allow it to continue. On the same note, I'm open to any feedback on the subject - do PM me.

Finally, I went and printed my CCRIS today. All BT installments are recorded under "Total Outstanding Balance". For MBB itself already showing RM 15k, I hope other banks will not see this as a huge commitment for me... But my scoring is all 0. biggrin.gif

Haha. Well hope you're getting good returns on your BT, and also being careful to meet all payment deadlines!

My BT instalments are now 2x my monthly salary largely because I do the revolving BT strategy i.e. Using BT to pay BT, so it's not "real" expenditure, but just extending the repayment.  Currently 4 PBB BTs, 4 MBB BTs, 1 Aeon and 1 HSBC. As a precaution I make sure my FDs can fully cover my outstanding BT. I keep detailed spreadsheets for both to ensure no overspending and no late payments.

Applied BT from SCB to MBB on last 12Apr 6:04PM(Fri) and received sms MBB approved just few minute after that.

On 11Apr (Sun) morning received another sms stated BT amt already transferred to.....immediately check my M2U and 3% charged to my cr card acc but when i check SCB, no payment receive yet.

Today i just checked and still no sign of payment from MBB.

How long usually do bank need to transfer to clear outstanding on other bank?

Any advise?

After receive sms, after 1 working day should see the posted transaction. By the way, you should wait for BT promo for maximum savings
