QUOTE(red streak @ Aug 17 2024, 08:40 PM) Yes, that's correct. Banks report the total outstanding at the end of the month, so even if your Due Date is on the 11th for example but your utilization is over 33% then your credit score will drop. They don't care if you pay it all off before the Due Date. A higher Credit Limit is better if you intend to use it pretty often compared to say a 10K Credit Limit where you spend 4-5k every month before paying it off. so, how about a Balance Transfer? How is the credit score if I transfer outstanding amounts from Bank A to Bank B?

QUOTE(hye @ Aug 19 2024, 08:59 PM) Can you share with us as to why you are very concerned about your credit score ? Do you a have some sort of an unmanageable debt situation ? I have one idea. Since some Banks offer 0% of BT, I can transfer some outstanding amounts to that particular Bank and use those amounts (amounts that are going to pay off) to invest in another tool to earn some interest. But if this approach affects my credit score, then things would be different. In fact, I have a plain background and no loan on hand, so it is very hard for me to apply for CC since I have no credit history in the past 12 months. I just recently have one or two CCs after trying many Banks. I am going to build up my credit history by using CC wisely. I might probably need to buy another house, so I wish to have a good credit score. I would rather not take the risk if BT affects my credit score. Do you have some ideas for me to build up my credit history and good credit scores? Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 22 2025, 08:32 AM) I have Bank Rakyat Platinum Explorer. 5% cb cap at RM1k yearly from hotels / airlines. FX rate follow Mastercard and with no admin fee. Trans get posted and show up in mobile app pretty fast. Mobile app UI is really meh. I remembered I tried to get access to mobile / internet banking, and ATM totally failed to give temp id / pin, and I had to call their cs to sort it out. Good thing getting through to cs is fast (maybe because not many customers???  ) I don't remember having to sign up any insurance / investment scheme when I applied. But Takaful come together with Platinum Explorer card, and since this is Islamic card, there is this commodities contract thingy for Shariah compliant. I noticed there is another card called Xclusive Explorer, and its benefit more or less the same; only the QTY of PPL is 5

Does Affinbank is hard to apply increase limit? I want to apply Duo+, but the lowest limit must be 12k and above I applied 6 months after I received my DUO visa, which was rejected, so I think maybe it's due to the card being less than 1 year old. However, I re-applied a few days ago, which was almost a year later, and I was still rejected.  My income is more than enough, and I have provided sufficient documents. Moreover, I have had no late payments for Affinbank since I started using their card. This post has been edited by ideaplus: Jul 31 2025, 09:00 AM

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Sep 17 2025, 02:58 PM) Since Bank Islam Visa Platinum is an Islamic card, I am not sure auto-debit for conventional insurance premium will go through. I haven't tried it. Some Islamic cards only allow premium payment for Takaful to go through  So far, my GE has no problem with the auto-debit, and yes, I'm not Muslim

QUOTE(aurora97 @ Nov 4 2025, 10:19 AM) Was just wondering, for local banks like (HLB, AM, CIMB etc...), do they automatically permanently increase the credit limit without proof of income, or do you need to walk in to the branch and apply manually and submit supporting documents? Meanwhile, for foreign bank, I manage to get a few permanent increases without submitting proof of income. The keyword is "automatically." You mean the foreign bank that you hold will increase your CL automatically?

QUOTE(Haloperidol @ Nov 14 2025, 01:07 PM) Hi Nexus, if possible, please give me feedback regarding the Contactless Spending cashback. If not mistaken, all contactless spending above 200 need to key in PIN. Not sure it is considered as Contactless anymore and eligible for cashback. also not sure "online" payment considered as "contactless" or not Please do advice on that part. Thank you = Plan to change from POS to EON next year March, coz January can use POS to pay tons of cukai taksiran etc I thought is above RM250 only need to key in the pin
