How long does it take to know whether my credit card application is approved/rejected?
Maybank FC Barcelona Visa Signature?

I applied on the 8th of May 2018.
No sms or anything yet..
Checked at maybank2u as well..

High chance of being rejected since it is more than 2 weeks?

You applied via branch or online? If online I think will be less than 1 week. Normally 3-4 days will know the outcome.

I applied online.
I have just called and ask.
Maybank customer service told me that my application has been rejected.
They mention that I do not meet the requirement. No further explanation.

I think I have made a mistake which is applying many credit cards together in just a very short period?

Sorry, for a quick question here.
Not sure if being asked before.

For those free gifts we get from applying via RP and similar website/agency, those free gifts are funded by who?
RP finds sponsorship themselves?
Or the representing bank?

Sorry for the noob question.
Curiosity kills the cat!

In my humble opinion, I think RinggitPlus represent themself.
They entice us with free gifts, but they probably offset it with commission they receive from bank.

credit card statement date: 27th aug 2018
credit card payment due date: 16th sept 2018

so transactions from 28th jul 2018 till 27th aug 2018 will be computed.
cashback for transaction from 28th jul 2018 till 27th aug 2018 will be computed.

if cashback is based on spending
eg.
1st RM5000, cashback 0.6%
Next spending, cashback 1%

so, if I've already spend RM7000 from 28th jul 2018 till 27th aug 2018.
RM5000, cashback 0.6% = RM30
RM2000, cashback 1% = RM20

What if I spend another RM3000 on 28th Aug 2018?
Will I receive cashback of 0.6% or 1%?

Assuming that the card is terminated on 1st September 2018.

anyone has tried requesting to transfer the balance transfer repayment
a. from card A to card B from same bank, and then cancel card A once successfully transferred.
b. from card A to card B from conventional bank to islamic bank (vice versa), and then cancel card A once successfully transferred.

Will there be any charges such as early settlement\processing fees\et cetera?
