That’s why I ask. I also got the sms. If it is better than the standard visa signature then why not upgrade right?

I have the VI card and find that the exchange rate markup is not 1% but rather just over 2% compared to VISA exchange rate over the 1 week period.
Anyone has the same card can confirm this?
Would change to MC if that is the case.
*
i read in previous posts in this thread as well as previous version
they strongly recommend to use world master instead of vi
you apply only vi?
no wmc?

Only useful if you visit China VERY often and needed a lot transactions with union pay.
Need to spend RM20k isn't easy (to waive AF).
Consider that most of the hotels in China can accept Visa/MC, you can easily earn 1 mile/RM spend (with MBB VI) or 1 mile/1.4 RM spend (with AMB WMC/VI).
Most of the luxury / branded expenses are accepting Visa/MC too.
So far for me, I can use Visa in Carrefour and Walmart (in Shanghai and Shenzhen, not sure about smaller cities).
Left only smaller shops and how much you can spend there?

Side note: McD self ordering machine only accept union pay  shakehead.gif
*
Got exception
I kene once the hotel visa/master terminal broken
So they only able to take unionpay
End up struggle find atm
Be safe to have unionpay in China
Alternatively can take pbb unionpay debit card

Hmm. Too bad.
I usually book via booking.com / Agoda, hopefully they can deduct directly from the card use for reservation.
If not, I really don't know where to vomit cash for them.
ATM cash advance will charge you interest, unless withdraw with BigPay.

I used pbb visa debit card
RM10 withdrawal fees

hi there,

Just called ambank CS and it seems that annual fee is auto waived but SST is "non waivable". May I ask if it is the the same for you guys?

still not sure whether to keep or cancel both VI and WMC. Haven't have much good promo on these cards for quite some time... also lounge usage needs RM500 spending...
*
for me i keep the wmc which known to have slightly better forex rate than vi and other cards
500 can topup into bp and withdraw later
so 25 for 5x lounge visit/year consider worth for me
some more lifetime free annual fees
where got other banks (may be another 1 or 2, I not sure) offer wmc/vi free annual fees for life de?
plus, 2 million travel insurance for your flight

Perhaps I don't spend much on these 2 cards nowadays...
I think I have the cards for around 5 years, If i remember correctly they waived for first year, then continuing years they offset with my points.
By the way, you get SST waiver for several years?

i paid it every year including all sub
i rarely use it

now i got your meaning, I thought you get SST waiver every year : )
I didn't call CS about why the wmc transaction was rejected since vi can be used that time...
*
i see
i always bring 2-3 cards from different banks if go overseas
just in case they suspect fraud
both wmc and vi can get blocked temporary
then suffers... if emergency

Hi all sifu, want to ask a question. Apologies if this has been asked before as I was clicking through few pages and didnt see.

If I am to apply for a World Master and islamic Visa Infinite, do I get 10x entries to PPL as each card has 5x entry per year. I am aware of the RM500 spending requirement either 30days before or after visit.

Thanks!

10x
