QUOTE(ysling @ May 25 2017, 11:09 AM) If my statement cut off date is on the 24th every month and the AF only get charged on the 1st July. Can I still transact after 24th June until 1st July? If i be excluded for not paying the AF (if i plan to cancel card) since no usage of the card after 1st July or the entire statement (25th Jun - 24th July) has to be empty? why not just cancel it straight then? If you are thinking of participating in any contest, once your card is cancelled, all cachback, reward points and winning are gone anyway. Might as well use other card. Just my 2 sen.

QUOTE(moonsatelite @ Jun 11 2017, 12:38 AM) Citation from The Sun Daily Malaysia: “On merchants who require a minimum purchase amount before a customer can pay with a credit card or those who impose a surcharge, Tan said consumers can lodge a complaint with BNM.” Citation Source: http://www.thesundaily.my/news/2017/04/13/...on-number-cardsGood to know this! Somehow I am foreseeing future 'machine rosak' incidents in the future.

QUOTE(wonglokat @ Jul 25 2017, 02:37 PM) What should I consider when given the option to raise my card limit? Got my third call in a month from 2 different banks. Said I'll think about it. of the top of my head, hmm..think about the potential of you getting a loan (housing, car, etc) in the near future. These increased limits will 'eat in' into your overall total commitment amount eligible.

QUOTE(cheekily @ Jul 26 2017, 03:53 PM) Hi, just wondering whether can someone age above 60 years old apply for credit card? Still working (contract renew every year), currently has 2 other credit cards, and no more housing loan installment. Reason for applying for new credit card is to go for those cc with no annual fees, and cancel those cc with annual fees. What are the banks criteria for credit card application...will they approve those who are more than 60 years old? as far as i know, banks only lays the condition of minimum age. Shouldn't be a problem for 60's as long as you have a proven source of income and EPF/Tax contributions.

QUOTE(JanqEs @ Aug 2 2017, 10:41 AM) hey guys, i just got my credit card since they call and said that i could get one. but here's the thing. i have 0 knowledge about cc. which is why i come here for advice. i was thinking of using it for fuel and groceries shopping. and occasionally for eating out sometimes. what happen if i only pay the minimum payment everytime? is it advisable? how the interest would kick in? thanks. Rule of thumb: If you are going to pay just the minimum every month, DON'T USE a credit at all.

QUOTE(haru20 @ Aug 24 2017, 11:00 AM) I have a question on foreign transaction, i bought an item from UK at 100 pounds on monday, i sign on the transaction using my credit card with the choice of transacting in foreign currency rather than setting direct conversion to MYR on the day itself. Subsequent to that i return the item(Within the stipulated period), hence a full refund of 100 pound will be refunded to my credit card. As what i check my statement on monday i have lock on with a expense of RM565, however 3 days upon my return of my item, i got a refund amount of RM550. Would like to clarified shouldnt the refund amount be net off at RM565? As its the same transacted item/merchant/amount in foreign currency? Your experience and advice is much appreciated. Thank you. because it was transaction in foreign currency, though the paid and refunded amount are the same, the forex on those 2 days differs. That's why you get the different amount in MYR.

QUOTE(haru20 @ Aug 24 2017, 11:08 AM) Yup aware its due to foreign translation different between both days, but shouldn't it be nett off the same, rather than there will be lost or gain at my side if the FOREX rate weaken or strengthen? If so, i can arbitrage on foreign translation if i refund it at the right time, given our fluctuation of FOREX rate? Correct! I have experienced that once and made a few bucks.

QUOTE(chinti @ Aug 28 2017, 09:24 AM) hello, wanna ask something. im using hong leong credit card, what will happened if by next statement my available limit is negative? will i get fine extra? the available limit is now positive but there is one more flexi payment few days before the statement which will cause the available limit to bcome a negative value. i usually pay slightly more than the minimum amount when the statement came out, but this month went n repair car so ended up charging more again... There is a chance the flexi payment may not be able to go thru and you'll be slapped with a big interest penalty. Paying minimum amount every month is like playing with fire and it's NOT advisable to own a credit card if you are not going to pay in full statement amount every month.

QUOTE(realitec @ Sep 6 2017, 09:49 AM) Hi, my credit card limit is RM3,000. But I am going to purchase a furniture which cost more than that. Just called HLB and the operator said I am not eligible to apply for temporary increase credit limit as I am new card holder. So if there is anyway I can do to get the credit limit increase? I ever read from 1 post, is it i will just transfer more money to the credit card, so the limit will increase? Let's say if I am buying a RM4,000 furniture. I will need to transfer RM1,000 in advance to the credit card. Then use the credit card to swipe RM4,000. Please advise. Thank you in advance. Yes. been there, done that.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 3 2017, 10:04 AM) HLB MACH is fine with this if it accepts Visa. If in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, usually no issue to accept overseas cards. But smaller cities, the tendency to accept overseas cards is very low. true. my brother's credit card was declined because the hotel they stay doesn't "open up their card system to accept foreign cards“ ended up, our chinese relative paid with Alipay. So embarassing. I wonder when are we going to have Alipay accounts in Malaysia.
