do we need to pay each card (principle and supplementary) separately?

just receive my first statement from ambank... surprised... all 4 cards in one statement (invoice). However i noticed cannot just pay to the principal card only for both bills together with supplementary.

Totally different compared to maybank as i just submit payment to the principle card for complete payment..


Like this i have to do 2 ibg transfer for each the principle n supp card....

To add on to this, they have revised the Infinite card requirement to 120k as well (down from previous 150k), i believe to make it consistent for both WMC & Infinite to be targeted at the same income group.

The feature between WORLD MASTER CARD and INFINITE CARD is same, BUT the WMC is lowest charge of oversea exchange rate, therefore WMC better than Infinite, well maybe some places does not accept Mastercard, alternative will be Infinite.

5x PPL, and 3X overseas points

5x PPL for backup when travel in larger groups.
Ambank points worth slightly more than Treatpoints when spend overseas. (MBB 400pts = RM1, Ambank 300pts)

Can't beat the WMC, but at least got something.

Call customer service. When you emailed your application, there will be an acknowledgement email, so they would be able to check what happen and why the delay.

Hahaha... These few days keep swiping ambank since my other cards like wise and m2c literally useless for dining and

First swipe RM8x for Japanese meal and straightaway get a single 8. Few days later went to jusco swipe twice at departmental store no 8 at all. Then yesterday went to eat dim sum RM8x and I get two 8. Just now swipe RM150 at factory outlet and got a single 8. Then try again in hush puppies and no luck again. Then went dinner in Franco and got one 8.

Really hard to get 8 for retail purchases but it seem like quite easy for dining since I tried 3 times and get 8 on all of the approval code.

haha sometimes i think cybpsych is a bot. Not only he gathers promotion, he even know who posted what and when!

-----
on the 8 digits promotion, out of all my successful swipes, only 1 received an sms saying that '8 digit has been spotted on your recent purchase and continue to swipe more bla bla bla'.

Is this sent out randomly just as marketing tool or it means only that swipe gets the CB?

Just received a call from ambank that my world mastercard application was rejected. Apparently they just increase their minimum annual income to 120k since July16.

Guys, is there any way to appeal for world mastercard? Or should I just accept their visa signature as propose by them?

If it is credit card, just call and cancel. I have never walked in to any banks before to cancel of my any cards. Just call and cancel will do. smile.gif

Yes, it is really complimentary if you could spend RM30k with this credit card from the date of successful enrollment overr a period of one (1) year. Additionally, take note that there'll be no loophole to avoid the membership fee of RM599 as per stated on their #3 and #5 in their T&C

#3. In the event the Cardmember does not meet the aforementioned requirement, the Cardmember hereby
agrees and expressly consents for the Bank to charge a membership fee of RM599 to the Cardmember’s Card account.
#5. In the event of the cancellation/termination of the Card or the Hilton membership card before the minimum
spending requirement of RM 30,000 is met, the Cardmember hereby agrees for the Bank to charge a membership
fee of RM599 into the Cardmember’s Card account immediately succeeding the cancellation/termination

Refer to http://www.ambank.com.my/ambank/Documents/HiltonFormTc.pdf for the its T&C.

So in conclusion, apply for the membership only if you are very sure you can meet RM 30k per annum. laugh.gif

Very smart for them to come out with this T&C.


Anyway, just now received SMS from AmBank that my PIN & Pay card is issued. Gotta call to check out the delivery address. laugh.gif Anybody else received the SMS?

Not yet. Last time I inquired about it, so should be by this or coming month. Yours is earlier as you got yours much earlier than mine.

Please be informed that the new pin base credit card will be issued to cardholders by batches. Target time will be latest by end of August 2016.


Not so looking forward to it because the current wmc comes with a nicer mastercard logo.

So for those who earn between 100k and 120k you guys can try to apply WMC with condition to appeal from their management. High chances will be approved..

Have not received my card despite it being almost 3 weeks since my card approval. At this rate I wouldn't be able to enjoy the 10% cashback promotion. Customer service's hands are tied as all they can do is expedite my request to the relevant dept.

I feel that Ambank is artificially delaying card delivery to avoid new subscribers from using the promo. Any ideas who I can complain to? Would this be under the purview of BNM?

Yes, got the SMS saying card approved, and that the card will be sent within 1 week. (Which turned out to be BS)

I also got an SMS asking me to activate my card (trolling me?).

You are right, just my frustration getting the better of me. If anything, they're guilty of shitty service.

Ultimately, I'm just looking for an avenue to get this resolved, and was wondering whether BNM is the right channel to go to.

I forgot the exact content, but I remembered I received an SMS telling me it has been sent out or something. Once received that SMS then it can be quick.

Yes, got the SMS saying card approved, and that the card will be sent within 1 week. (Which turned out to be BS)

I also got an SMS asking me to activate my card (trolling me?).
You are right, just my frustration getting the better of me. If anything, they're guilty of shitty service.

Ultimately, I'm just looking for an avenue to get this resolved, and was wondering whether BNM is the right channel to go to.

If you ask me, seems like it was lost in delivery. Call up CS and ask for the date it was delivered.

One of my supp card was also delayed when everyone was applying for Ambank card due to the sign up cashback promo.

Nope, no SMS saying it's been sent out.

They don't know - apparently the team responsible has not been returning their queries. I asked for the tracking number (assuming poslaju) and CS couldn't even get that because the team is not responding. I spoke to 3 different CS and my problem is already recorded, but with no resolution. All the record says is that it's a vendor problem (which could mean Pos Malaysia or the co that embosses the cards).

In my latest call, I asked the CS to note that I am demanding a verbal explanation from a senior person in the responsible team, but considering their lack of response, that may result in nothing as well.

The problem is despite me asking them to just declare the card lost and send me a new one, the CS are still insisting that they need to get a response from the responsible team first. I'm not sure what's their policy on how long must a card delivery be missing for it to be considered as lost.

Try to get their officer or superior to speak and follow up with you. You need to establish first whether it has been sent out or not.

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.

I have some observation on this one. Previously in 2015, I can do IBFT from Maybank to Ambank CC. But not sure start from when in this year, I can't do IBFT to Ambank CC anymore.

Until today, I am just using Giro from Maybank to Ambank CC. I do not have Ambank Saving/Current account, so I am commenting this based on my Ambank CC experience only. smile.gif

You can post AMBANK WORLD MASTER CARD features

among ambank card the best will be AMBANK WORLD MASTER CARD :

- Unlimited lounge access without condition. (until end of Dec 2016, maybe extend after that?) http://www.ambank.com.my/ambank/SiteAssets...tOfAirports.pdf  list for Plaza Premium Lounge (including Oversea)
- 5,000 AmBonus points = 1,000 Air Miles. (2nd ranking for exchange Air miles among credit card Malaysia, 1st is Maybank AMEX Reserve)
- Complimentary Hilton Premium Club Membership Card (Waive annual fee Hilton Membership card if spend min RM30,000)
- RM1 = 5X AmBonus Points for overseas spend (DOES NOT INCLUDE ONLINE SPEND PLS KEEP IN MIND, local and online spend only 1X point)
- No annual fee, no conditions attached
- First 3 supplementary cards are Free-For-Life
- Best for oversea spend, foreign exchange rate is best among all credit card, charge around 1% only (Most bank charge at 2%)
- Minimum income: RM120,000 p.a (well they revised from RM100,000)

This card is best for frequent flyer and oversea spend. BUT not for local and online spend.
*
I got the VI card... cant remember why I choose that over the WMC (might be because I have other WMC) anyway... I thought the overseas spending VI is usually better then WMC?

I applied for my WMC / VI earlier, then realise there was a booth that offered free luggage so I called the CS and they told me they would cancel my earlier application and I can go and reapply.

Few days ago I was told my application was approved then suddenly the guy called and say it was the earlier application that was approved, so no free gift. I'm pissed because I checked twice to see if it was possible before I wasted my time going to reapply.

Can I lodge an official complaint?

Ambank's premier card services are really impeccable. Requested for BT on 22nd, funds in on 28th. I had to call them a 2nd time to remind them that my payment due date is 1st august. CR gave me the standard reply it takes 7-14 working days. I told as a premier customer, I expect a little more from you guys. And voila it's done!

Just an update: I still have not received my card, almost 4 weeks since it got approved. Called CS almost every other day, they've been helpful trying to track down the card but no one seems to know where it is. Asked for it to be sent to the nearest branch (to make it easier for them) but it never showed up (supposed to be last Tuesday). Asked them to declare the card lost and send out another one, but (CS was initially resistant, saying it would make delivery even longer) that didn't seem to help either.

Asked to speak to an officer from the credit card centre but have not been successful. The CS folk have been helpless in dealing with my situation, as no explanation is forthcoming from the credit card department.

I am open to suggestions on how to further escalate this.

If any of you want to get an Ambank card, you can use the referral link from my website (signature) and get RM200 cashback.

Mod let me know if this is not allowed, I can delete. Thought I'll help someone with this.

Disclaimer: I'll also earn a bit from the link, but nowhere near as much.

No you can't. Referral link which can earn benefits is not allowed. Thanks. smile.gif

Interested to apply this card for supp card PPL access so my family can join along.

Seems like application process is super long and better go get it from roadshow/booth.

If you can find one booth, then please inform here. Very rare for AmBank.
Plus, roadshow/booth also need to go through HQ for applications.
My personal opinion is applying through branches for all my cards are quicker than those temporary booths set up in malls.

Noted with thanks fruitie.

The PPL lounge of the card seems to be the best for this year if factoring the Free for life.

Now even the best Maybank 2 Premier has no PP, limited 5x and no supp card entry. How sad.

Yes, for PPL, it is the best for now. Plus it has some overseas PPL too.

Err?
1) CS - Dependant. I have no issue with AmBank CS. In fact they are very helpful for my case.
2) No AF for AmBank cards that I have. In fact, I think none of their cards has AF. I could be wrong though.

I have the same experience as you. Card approved before raya, received all the stupid SMS ask to activate card. Call CS to ask, they don't know where is the card. Just ask me to wait. mad.gif

I would recommend u to call CS again and ask them if the card has been sent out, they can track it.

My case last time was the card has been sent out but i didnt receive it (several weeks after application apporved). I called them and they have terminated the card, and sent me a replacement card to the ambank branch.

If you have some FD with them, you can use it as a leverage. After I manage to speak to their superior, I basically tell them that I gonna withdraw all my FD if they are unable to provide me with a solution within a certain time frame.

I have no problem with the CS. Card approval was fast and I collected it from their branch. Visited PPL London with VI. But their foreign exchange rate is not very good compared to SC worldmiles. Also, the online statement doesnt show how much is transacted in oversea currency (only show Malaysian currency charged).

The overseas amount is shown at the pdf/paper statement.

As for the forex, the WMC is good. Maybe cause both Ambank WMC and SCB WM are mastercard....shrug..

Approval is not really an issue but the delivery can be quite slow. Give all for a month I guess.
I opted for branch collection and my officer in branch helped me to follow up on the application and all, I got mine in 3 weeks or slightly lesser.

Trust the website I supposed. It has increased requirement for WMC and didn't notice it has reduced for Plat.

Cannot expect fast approval and delivery from AmBank. They are slow and steady. Just apply from branch, if lucky you will get something from them. I got RM 20 Starbucks gift card from them.

By the time you receive your cards, it will be end of the year....and the promotion will likely revert back to the original conditions....

If they continue into the next year, I may even apply myself....lol

If I were you, I will argue about it. Either get someone to amend your misleading website or accept this application.
Try going other branch then.

For six months period, do you think this is calculation based on the date or the month ?

when I have not received my PIN after 1 month, I called them and they said will issue new PIN

after 2 months, called them again and they said will issue another PIN. that was like 2 weeks ago.

also, in ambank online, cannot view latest transaction.

also cannot navigate properly on their andriod app. press back will logout

but their list of bill payment is impressive. can pay almost everything. the only reason i still use their card.

Programme is valid for AmBank / AmBank Islamic World MasterCard, Visa Infinite, Visa Signature and Platinum Cardholders only, both Principal and Supplementary including Cardholders still holding the MBF Cards World MasterCard, Visa Infinite and Platinum Card.

Does this means that supplementary are entitled for the total 2x PPL access or supplementary card on separate count of 2x entry?

Thanks Ms Fruitie..

Well, for Malaysia is not that strict, you can sign your kids in with other PPL cards. Chargeable if above 3 years old if I'm not mistaken.

I actually received a booklet.

The weird thing is you guys are talking about an app which is similar to OCBC has recently introduced.

I got the code to register the OCBC app thru email. The deals are more or less the same with AMBANK

every new card application must be submitted with IC and application form at minimal.
Unless the bank was the one to push the card to you.

Yes, use AmBank card locally has no benefit at all. But use it overseas is really ideal, not only can get 5x AmBonus Points, the forex rate is extremely good too!

Yeh, rate is really good. I just got back from France and tested against Citibank, PBB, Aeon and Maybank. AEON and my Ambank WMC were best rates. However, a few auto petrol and highway toll machines didn't recognise my Ambank card (and the others). Had to use Citibank, which was ultra annoying

Also not sure if my overseas spending qualified for the Spot 8 promo, since I couldn't figure out which was the approval code on the merchant slip. Very different format from our local slips.

At all the shops and restaurants I went to over 3 weeks, the machine automatically asked for signature on all my cards. Even those which had 6 digit PIN already like my PBB and Citibank. None of my cards were rejected at those places with people manning it, only automated machines.

I have UK issued credit cards too, using 4 digit PIN, and those were recognised in France as PIN enabled. I didn't use them much because GBP was at all time low so no point to pay using GBP.

i have a lot of oversea transaction every month, currently all this overseas transaction was charge to my Maybank VI which earn me 5X treat points, equal to RM0.954 per krisflyer miles.

However, I just realize that for Ambank WMC card member, 5000 points equal to 1000 krisflyer miles and overseas transaction earn me 5X points as well. After simple math, every krisflyer miles was equal to RM1 which is only slightly higher than Maybank VI conversion rates.

The best part is, Ambank WMC exchange rates is much better than Maybank VI

I think from now onwards, i may charge all my overseas transaction to my Ambank WMC instead of Maybank VI.

One more benefit for Ambank WMC is there is a 12 months 0% balance trasnfer promotion, did anyone know do we need to submit other bank statement for this balance transfer? I know that AEON CREDIT need statement for balance transfer while public bank dont need.

Ur overseas transaction is online based? Do take note that Ambank only award 5X points for real physical overseas transaction, online transactions does not count.

And for the balance transfer, all u need to do is to give their CR a call, tell them the amount u want to BT, the card no and it's done.

Ah OK. I got the RM388, but didn't have any BTs to do at that time. Now the new school term is coming up so I'm thinking to pay everything upfront and get early bird discount, then BT over 12 months. Right now the only 0% available to me is PBB and AEON, but both 6 months only.

Is there any limit that a person cannot have too many cards from different bank?
I only know that for those earning below RM36000 cannot have more than 2 cards, but for those earning more than that, is there a limit ?

Recently applied for AMbank platinum, for its PPL access, but was told that they wouldn't submit my application as they check from BNM, I've got too many CC on hand.

bro fruitie tongue.gif is only partially correct.

It is not BNM ruling, it is your potential exposure to credit that is the issue. By holding too many credit cards, your potential exposure to holding too big of a debt to service is there, thus they do not want to take that risk.

Well, like I said it goes back to banks. Banks have their own way of evaluation. BNM has no rule for those having more than 36k per annum.

Is not the credit limit or any debt issue, is the officer issue. He doesn't even want to submit my application. All that he say is I'm holding too many credit cards, so he doesn't want to submit.
If my application is submitted for processing, then rejected, credit limit issue or debt issue, I'll accept it, because I seriously did have a lot of credit cards and approval is based on bank's decision, the thing here is that d*mn bank officer doesn't want to submit it.
I've called AMbank previously, they say that the only way to submit application is via bank branch not email or fax. No choice.

*I do not have any debt issue, I've never late on my credit card payment.

1. joke la thats why got smilie..
2. Nope, they have the right to reject any applications. Credit department assesses certain aspect of an application but retail will look at other factors. And the case above are likely coming from an agent, so they are also allowed to be selective of their customers. The only thing that is wrong here is the intentional/unintentional misuse of BNM's name to cite an non-existent ruling in their explanation to the customer.

Not is not debt issue, it is exposure to credit issue. Some banks don't use that when assessing your DSR, some do.

My accounts > View Balances & Transactions > Select statement period > e-Statement

I haven't been using my card for the past 9 months and it only displays last 6 months' statement, so I can't validate if it is a PDF copy. You may try.

Need to call CS to request for the proper statement, if you haven't received it through email. Sometimes Ambank misses out on sending out the pdf statement and have to remind them to do so. I've experienced this twice before, and usually will receive it 1-2 days after calling. cool2.gif

the WMC card "sample" on the website looks like it's World Elite MC (MC logo is silver (silver for WEMC and MC/Platinum/World MC logo is Red/Orange color) even though it says WMC.

anyone with the current WMC would be able to confirm if the logo is silver or with color?

Whoa... I'm getting a rude awakening from AMBank...

1. eStatement, physical statements incurs a charge of RM12 per annum... I dont recall other banks charging this. I'm getting physical statements for ALL my cards.

2. Late interest calculations. This is pretty shocking not sure if its correct cause I dont pay my cards late, this eStatement thing made me miss my first payment of around RM850. BUT... the late charges shown on the next statement is RM130. Apparently the Call Centre gusy have NO IDEA how its calculated. But they seem to insinuate that once I miss the previous payment, interest will be charge for EVERY transaction I make hence forth EVEN BEFORE the statement reaches me.

For eg. Late Jul payment of RM850, every single cent I spend in Aug will be charged 18% interest per annum even BEFORE the Aug statements reaches me.

Anyone knows if this is how banks charges their late payment interest these days?! blink.gif

Just tell them without PIN and can sign. Do it all the time when I travel to China. Not an issue at all. There's a problem that small cities may not accept overseas cards. I have no issue using all the time in Beijing and Shanghai. However, I had issues with Chengdu, Chongqing and Yunnan because they don't accept overseas cards at all.

But they seem to insinuate that once I miss the previous payment, interest will be charge for EVERY transaction I make hence forth EVEN BEFORE the statement reaches me.

For eg. Late Jul payment of RM850, every single cent I spend in Aug will be charged 18% interest per annum even BEFORE the Aug statements reaches me.

Anyone knows if this is how banks charges their late payment interest these days?!  blink.gif

Just tell them without PIN and can sign. Do it all the time when I travel to China. Not an issue at all. There's a problem that small cities may not accept overseas cards. I have no issue using all the time in Beijing and Shanghai. However, I had issues with Chengdu, Chongqing and Yunnan because they don't accept overseas cards at all.

The hotel girl don't accept say need pin. Then how do I pay the card without access to ambank online?

I will insist, just press no PIN. In fact, not all China cards come with PIN. Users can choose not to have PIN. :)Some of my colleagues chose one or two cards of theirs without PIN for convenience. smile.gif

You will need AmOnline. I got them to do for me without any pass code sent to me. Just called AmBank CS and they are quite helpful.

you would have received a letter with the card saying your card is pin and pay ready.
and request that you change your PIN right away.

nope.. didnt mention anything and didnt receive default pin.
normally they send the default pin by separate mail, not with credit card.
or like citibank, can directly activate new pin by automated phone call.

Based on T and C, looks like first batch of winners should be receiving luggage soon.

Yes, it is really complimentary if you could spend RM30k with this credit card from the date of successful enrollment overr a period of one (1) year.  Additionally, take note that there'll be no loophole to avoid the membership fee of RM599 as per stated on their #3 and #5 in their T&C

#3. In the event the Cardmember does not meet the aforementioned requirement, the Cardmember hereby
agrees and expressly consents for the Bank to charge a membership fee of RM599 to the Cardmember’s Card account.
#5. In the event of the cancellation/termination of the Card or the Hilton membership card before the minimum
spending requirement of RM 30,000 is met, the Cardmember hereby agrees for the Bank to charge a membership
fee of RM599 into the Cardmember’s Card account immediately succeeding the cancellation/termination

The hilton premium club membership offered by Ambank is different from the one that they are selling outside. I'm a HPC member, the free stay voucher is not available with the Ambank HPC.

Just to understand it correctly, ambank will charge the card holder rm599 by end of the first year (anniversay) if you don't use the card or didnt spend 3OK? What if we cancel the card after 6 months getting the card, will they still charge us $599?

if the first year annual year is waived. bank will no charge u if u only use the card for 6 months,

most of the bank will allow u no to pay the annual fee charged to your card when u cancel the card with condition no tx after annual fee charged.

Sorry, actually I'm referring to the complimentary Hilton membership card. Is it that the bank will charge ambank WMC holders for the membership fee even for 1st year if we cancel the card within 6 months?

Yes. Refer to https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=81766013, I have shared earlier by quoting one forummer's post.

#5. In the event of the cancellation/termination of the Card or the Hilton membership card before the minimum
spending requirement of RM 30,000 is met, the Cardmember hereby agrees for the Bank to charge a membership
fee of RM599 into the Cardmember’s Card account immediately succeeding the cancellation/termination

Fruitie, Thanks for the clarification.
Just found out that one needs to enrol for the Hilton membership then only the T&C will be in force.
The membership is not auto given / enrolled upon credit card approval.
Which means we can still apply for WMC without being bound by the Hilton membership fulfillment or charges if did not enrol for it.

Yes, HPC is not given automatically by defaut with the new WMC or VI and you need to apply for it. On the other hand, it will be automatically renewed the following year once you got it this year so be sure to cancel if you are not going to spend RM30k with this card in the following years.

i went down just now search for the letter, i think i threw it away after installed. only left the voucher booklet there

Maybe you try install the apps. if ask for code then enter b1f1

because at the end you still need to pay with ur am cc at counter.

My Ambank card is not even Pin&Pay ready.

Anyway, if your pin is not working overseas, you could opt for signature instead, right?

but for required income for the card application, it's a bit different.
In the application form:- VI is RM150K, WMC is RM100K
in the website: VI is RM120K, WMC is RM120K

just noticed that Ambank has updated the application form for min imcome requirement for WMC , RM120K

Oooh! I've been waiting for this! I've got loads of questions for you hehe.

- When did your supp sign up and spend? Do you mind sharing how much?
- I signed up for 2 supp cards, 1 spent RM5k, the onther only Rm2k. Both in July.
- Did Ambank contact you before hand, or just deliver to your house?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, sure. smile.gif

- Supp card signed up was end of April. Spend slightly more than 5k, if I remember correctly.
- Ambank contacted supp card holder before sending the luggage. Tracking number given by sms by courier. Courier even waited for me to come home as I was out for a short while.

Hi lowyatER....
Sharing my experience with you guys. Applied balance transfer through Ambank with 0% interest rate (no hiding fee) about 30k for 12 months installment but only allowed to transfer to other banks credit card account. Fortunately, I manage to transfer out the 30k from credit card account to my current account. It seems I can just apply earn some $$ by placing the fund into FD. 😄

Yes. Surprisingly totally no cost at all! I think this is the promotion I guess.i transfer to hongleong and UOB. No need to provide bank statement, just the credit card number will do. I requested it over the phone. Thereafter, I called hongleong and UOB to make a transfer, both help to transfer to my other banks currency account with RM 0.11 IBG charge.

You may go to this link http://www.ambank.com.my/eng/deals
Read more on the 10% cash back > you will see the 0% transfer inside the terms and conditions..

This is really good!!!! Some more 12 months installment. Amazing!!!!

you are right. but it seems on and off you will see the 0% balance transfer from different bank. if not mistaken, HSBC and maybank did offer one time before. so is a good chance to apply and transfer it out. smile.gif

No.. This one was PBB (or AEON) BT. Excess HL to MBB. About 5 weeks ago.

Second time was MBB BT, but I opened a HLB account just before that.

Then I will do a 10k PBB BT from HLB, excess fund of 9k will credit to HL Mach moneybox n then IBG to MBB for GIA-i. Monthly uplifting GIA-i for BT monthly payment.

Sounds like a good strategy.

Just a little word of caution (although you probably don't need it). Before I do all these transfers to CASA, I always think of back up plan just in case bank suddenly doesn't allow and money gets stuck in the CC.

For me, I'm not sure worried about money being stuck in PBB VS because monthly expenditure on all my PBB principal plus supp will definitely be RM10k plus (within this, got monthly BT instalment of 6k). So worst case scenario is one month of excess credit.

For HLB, I have Wise and Fortune CC which will usually hit 6k per month. Again, money won't be stuck long.

I don't dare to transfer to cards like Citibank or UOB where I spend less than 1K and hardly use. Then will really have headache if money stuck there.

The above is just for precaution... But in all my cases with PBB, HLB and MBA, never had an issue. I've tried several times with each of those named banks.

sorry guys... im a bit stupid. just to make things clear.
first apply BT at ambank to HLB credit card. Ambank will then pay HLB CC account the amount.
second, transfer the amount in HLB CC account to any other account e.g. saving account at MBB via IGB.
third, get the cash at saving account and pay the monthly installment BT at ambank.

am i correct? for sure i understand the risk. i just wanna confirm the whole process that you guys mentioned.

thanks.

Unlimited for WMC and VI, just needed condition previously and now no longer needed.
It used to be unlimited for VS and Plat as well when condition was applied, now reduced to 5x and 2x without condition.

Yepp, I know that they're OK transferring to same bank, but for those where I don't have CASA (e.g. Citi and UOB), very risky. The last resort is of course to cancel card, then they probably have to refund you.

if it were unlimited for all their cards subject to the same swiping conditions, then how do they differentiate the different cards?...

just received the B1F1 VIP key. They re-sent the same letter, but this time with the additional card that has the 9 characters VIP code. Not sure if everyone will be given the same VIP key, but here's mine, in case you want to try.

anyway, they obviously felt the need to differentiate....hence the restricted access for the vs and platinium...

Well, put it this way, during that time PPL was not their selling point.
WMC and VI have higher points rewards. That's to differentiate with VS or Plat.
Moreover, that time nobody is really attracted with the condition 3 swipes. I bet not many people used it anyway.

Each of my 2 supplementary cards received THREE letters (1 without PIN, 1 hardcopy booklet, and now 1 with PIN).

I received 2 (1 without PIN, 1 with PIN).

Now I have a whole bunch of mailers lying around, but am quite annoyed at how badly organised this campaign is. Didn't even bother downloading the app, as I think the hardcopy booklet is eaiser to manage.

I didn't have the booklet. Just the PIN.

The app is quite easy to use, but not much offer to my liking.

I guess it is due to 3 swipes condition, just standardize for all.

Plan to leverage on current Maybank 0% 12 months balance transfer promotion to overpay my ambank credit card and cash out to my ambank saving account.

Did anyone here tried to call ambank regarding credit card overpaid amount credit back to ambank saving account before?

thanks

Based on BT thread, u need to submit your statement to MBB when applying for BT. If that's the case, overpay is not possible.

I just received my B1F1 code. I think you guys will received yours very soon. I'm now at Tonkatsu and successful in redeeming. Can eat jumbo prawn now whereas previously has to settle for normal prawn. No regret with this ambank card.

Update a bit to avoid questions. It was sent by normal post.

Last week I complained to CS thru AmONline about the B1F1 code that never seem to arrive. At the same night, it did.
A few days later, the CS sent me another VIP code which is different from what they sent to me in mail.

So, if you are still not receiving yours, just 'message' them in AmOnline.

Both of them which is quite handy, the reason is to use at GM and PPL (one entry each/day).

Both free for life anyways. VI has higher requirement than WMC though.

With both you can enjoy both visa and mastercard lounge/promotion, mostly online.

I'm just wondering. Those that received the code, did you use your card regularly or not and those that doesn't received the code, what's your usage or you're just signing up for the RM388 cash back?

I have used 30k up to date because I'm using it to renew foreign workers permit via MYEG for my boss. Got some personal usage but mainly below RM1k monthly.
