AmBank will call supplementary for verification, so make sure your supplementary holders are reachable.

they are reachable, but outside Malaysia...and someone said above they will not call a foreign phone number...

In my sister's case, cannot register OTP. I applied for WMC for her solely for the following reasons:

1. Get free luggage bag for supp card application (haven't received yet, but received call last week saying it will be delivered soon). Already promised to give the bag to my maid.

2. Airport lounge access - she travels A LOT but has no income as she's currently on 1 year university programme in Shanghai (hence the expired Malaysian phone number). In the past 3 months alone, she's used the KL, London, Shanghai and HK airports several times.

Apart from the qualifying expenditure to get the free luggage bag, she doesn't use the card for anything. Her credit limit only RM2k haha.

My usual approach with all CC is....... Just apply and max out benefits while they last smile.gif.

Got free luggage for supp? Nobody tells me....least of which the aminvest rep....

I recall seeing one on the website. Can get Barry Smith duffle bag or air purifier depending on spending. Go to ambank website and check under credit card promotions.

thanks....found it...but it's not "free" per se, need to spend....

II. ACCUMULATION OF AMBONUS POINTS
2. The following transactions will NOT earn AmBonus Points:-
Cash advance (including QuickCash) transactions, all transactions at petrol stations,
balance transfer, AmFlexi-Pay installment transactions, late payment interest / charges,
finance / management fee, disputes, fraud transactions, fees and charges other than retail
purchase amount debited to Cardmember’s account(s) will not be included in the
computation of the AmBonus Points accumulated.

right....so use ambank cc for gov transactions (1 point per rm)....and use maybank cc for petrol (1 point per rm)...

yes, i see the same....which is a bugger, as it fragments up the points...what i think i will do is just stick to one card and drawer the other....looks like wmc has the lowest currency conversion rate, so the infinite goes into cold storage...

I just got to know that we need to make separate payments to both principal & supplementary cards, I thought just pay the principal the full amount and AmBank will sort out the rest.

I thought this is strange as both cards com at the same statement but the CS insisted that because both principal & supplementary cards are different 'class', hence we need to make separate payments.

FYI, I am referring to WMC.

This is indeed very strange....then what about the points?

different bank different system..
for ambank, indeed you need to pay separate for principal and supplementary

What about the points?...other banks, all points belong to the principal card, supps cannot redeem points....

Ambank CS have always said that you need to make separate payments. HOWEVER, if you really want to make only one payment, you can pay all to your principal and ask Ambank CS to transfer the respective amounts to your supplementary cards. This is what I do sometimes when the amounts on supps are very small. However, make sure you do this well in advance of your payment due date.
Principal can request for all the supp points to be transferred to principal for redemption. I did this for the recent redemption. Combined everything to get the RM100 rebate.

I will need to get them to do this...they are processing my supp applications, and asking a lot of questions....other banks never need to contact supp applicants...after all, they are supps and I tanggung everything...

i don't understand ambank's policy....they appear to treat supps as separate entities, and want to verify them like principals, and then also treat the account as separate, to be paid separately....are they treating supps like principals too?....

It has been like this for ages. Even when paying with cheque, you'll still need to fill in the form specify how much payment for principal and supplementary.

any idea why?...

Because it's your responsibility. Why would they help you for free? You don't pay then only they earn.
*
is that what you think, or the real reason?....

a supplementary card has no independent status, it's exist only because it is tied to a principal card...the moment a principal card is cancelled, all supplementary cards under it also cease to exist....and since the credit limit is also from the principal's, the principal card's limit apply as well to all....therefore it is very strange for ambank to separate the supplementary card's account from the principals...and separate the points, and the payments as well...

no other bank does it this way, afaik...

in any case, i will try to get this all tied together when the supps are issued....and also to effect an auto-debit payment system, as for all my credit cards....

It's just their process and policy which they are free to determine. I agree it is not efficient or logical, but that's their system.

CS will just tell you there's nothing that can be done.

Got the supps, and they say will all be separate accounts and to be paid separately. So now I have a total of 10 cards and accounts....

I think I will just drawer all and only use for travels and lounge entries...they sure know how to deter people from using....lol
