My bro has for my dad - born in 1951 so around same age as yours. Shouldn't be a problem.

The one with the VS?

No branch in 1U. Maybe you mean Mid Valley?

When did you send in your applications?

I sent mine on 30 September (for 2 more supp cards), but no response yet. After reading your post, decided to send a follow up e-mail.

They are pretty bad huh?

Yes I emailed both as well because of my first experience where they didn't respond to my application. This is my second round of applying for supp cards now that someone here posted can apply for more than 2.

I know what you mean! I supped my Maybank VS to all my siblings so they could help me achieve annual spending. Such a headache to identify each line item every month. But with cimb cr, it's so easy. Plus, principal can view all the supp cards online and in one statement. Very very generous.

I'm not sure if my 2 additional supps will be approved since I already have 2, but if they are, then I can potentially get back Rm150 per month from my 1 principal plus 4 supp. Not bad for entry level card.

No, not company expenses but lots of claimable allowances and perks (car running costs, medical, professional subscriptions, mobile, travel etc). My husband also gets a lot of expat benefits, which we pay for first and claim later. Generally, kids' education, family insurance, condo management fees, DBKL etc for investment properties are very very high (luckily can pay using CC). But I view these as long term investments and hence worth paying for.

My personal household expenses on the other hand are low. TNB only Rm250 max per month for whole house, and we don't eat out. I try to keep non-essential expenditure to the minimum, and save and invest as much of disposable income as possible. Which explains my cashback obsession

Wow, that's quite strict. Mine can claim up to max limit, so I guess that is how they control corruption because the total cost is already factored in. If we don't utilise, it's burnt.

Hehe. When I was single 1 CC sufficient for me. Using PBB VS plus CIMB CR definitely can cover all my needs.

On a CIMB CR and supps related note. I found that best way of paying supp cards every month is to pay total to principal and then call CS to do transfer. Takes only 1-2 days and no need to pay multiple IBG fee. I did this last month and found it so much easier.

I'll do anything to save 11 cents haha. Plus, for 4 supp cards, it's 44. And of course I use office landline to call while cimb kindly puts me on hold.

Also paranoid about incorrectly transferring money now got so many principals and supps across various banks.

Unlikely. Still has to go through same approval process regardless of sign up mode or event.

If they say same day approval, then that's what they mean i.e. they will submit your application through the approval process and tell you the outcome.

However, it doesn't mean that you WILL be approved. Just that outcome is faster.

I applied for 2 more CIMB CR supps on 30 September via email to card centre, but until now not processed. I called CS today and the applications have been received.

I remember there were a few others who applied at similar time. How has progress been? Anything showing up in your CIMB clicks?

When I called, CS told me that may take 2 more weeks (not guaranteed) to process. But at least they got my application details in the system. Very very slow compared to other banks! Maybe you should call just to check its in the system. Based on my past experience, I don't really trust them!

They have a habit of ignoring emails too haha. I had to send 3 follow ups to get a response the first time I applied.

Agreed. They always give these extra cards, probably because not enough applications. They sent me the Petronas automatically... I called them to cancel immediately.

Just wanted to confirm that my supplementary card applications were approved. Now have 4 supplementary under my CIMB CR. Took a long time and haven't received yet, but can see on my CIMB clicks. Hope I receive them before the 28th!

No idea. But I don't have so many family members to apply for anymore haha.

Yes, separate CB

Received one of my supp cards via Pos Laju mail drop in post box today. Other card not yet received although applied at same time and both showing in cimb clicks. Strange thing is that last 4 digits differ by 500+. Does that mean 500 cards issued in between?

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Didn't know that

Do you have AEON cc? Reading through your questions, it may be worthwhile applying for AEON CC and using it to pay for flights and bills, then using CIMB CR to pay your AEON CC through Pos Online. Can apply for supplementary cards if the RM 600 online limit is insufficient. When I'm in need of extra limit, I just ask my supps to help me. I've got 4 supps, so always got back up.
