Can I know that if simply cancel credit card from a particular bank within short period (after getting the promotion campaign), will it be adversely affect our
1) CCRIS or CTOS status ?
2) future application of any loan from that bank ?

Appreciate your guys can advise / comments .

Thanks

1) No
2) credit card, up to individual bank to decide. loan - mostly no

Hello guys, I have a question regarding the SMS alert. I got a HSBC credit card, and I emailed them to adjust my SMS alert to RM1 (thanks to advice from Gen-X). However, I got the following reply from them. Is this acceptable? Any advice will be appreciated:

General question, at this point in time, if I use Paypal for overseas transaction, is it better to use paypal's rates or my CC bank's rates? I only have CIMB CC. Recalled they have some hidden charges based on threads a few years back. Is that still true right now?

Thank you so much sifus!

don't use paypal rate and you'll be fine

just "Pay full statement balance before or on Due Date", you can use as you like without incurring interest

My big paycheck will come late, and I am currently in the midst of applying mortgage loan therefore need to consolidate some of my debt using my CC and do not wish to affect my credit rating score by calling bank make it to monthly installment / pay minimum payment / etc.
Assuming I hold only one credit card with credit limit 23k, and if I have outstanding 10k amount in credit card spent this month but wish to pay in installment,

Can I use BigPay method to slowly clear the outstanding and keep my rating score good?

1. Once received the cc statement for 10k outstanding spent previous cycle, use the same credit card deposit 10k to BigPay account
Now credit card total outstanding 20k and out of the 10k is due in next cycle

2. Withdraw 10k from BigPay thru ATM machine

3. Pay credit card 12k, 10k from BigPay and 2k from cash/salary

With this I assume the current cycle credit card has been settled and should not affect my credit rating score?
*
as long as you can make min statement balance, it will not affect your credit rating
but best is to make full payment come every statement

Hi all... Just new to credit card world... The credit card will be delivered to my house in 1 week.

Once I receive the new card, I can straight away transfer money from the credit card to my BigPay card and withdraw it as cash? Or need to apply for any plan first (such as cash installment plan)before the transferring money feature available on the credit card?

How to check whether my credit card is money transfer credit card or balance transfer credit card?

Thanks for helping a cc newbie like me ya.
*
for balance transfer, you need two credit cards, then you can transfer the balance from one card to the other
since you'll have only one card, you'll be just transferring money into bigpay and withdrawing it. piece of advice, do make sure you can pay back in full whatever amount you plan to withdraw when the monthly statement comes

I googled and found out there is difference between balance transfer and money transfer, and not all credit card can do Money transfer. Am I right or miss something?

That's why I asked how to check whether my credit card has money transfer feature or not? Or all credit cards can do the money transfer?

Sry I am really newbie to the credit card...

you are trying to spend using your cc to reload BP (this is considered normal retail spending), so any cc can do that
whether you'll get any benefit from your cc is another story, kindly head to BP thread first few posts to understand more

New cc user here, I have just paid flight tickets in JPY.and now the statement only shows on JPY... How does it work when I pay back since it doesn't show (or convert?) to the amount of MYR that I have to payback
*
if you just bought, most likely not posted yet, so you only see in JPY
wait a few days, it should be converted to MYR after posting

Is there any consequence of having one of your credit card missing from CCRIS listing? One of my card is not listed for several months already.

some banks don't list out individual credit cards, they lump all together under your IC

i just checked my latest ccris, for my report, maybank did list out both my credit cards
but if all the cards are sharing the same credit limit, I guess it should be no problem
Perhaps you can send maybank an email

if you don't want the cc, just call to cancel it
when you see your statement, just pay statement amount in full before or on the due date

Quick question,

I just bought a massage chair with 12-months instalment, but on my credit card statement, it shows that I've been charged the full amount, and now my outstanding balance it's the price of the massage chair instead of the monthly instalment amount.

Is this normal?
*
your statement balance is including the full price of the chair?
then it's not correct, call up mbb to check
