Hi guys. Would like a confirmation. When I applied for the cimb cash rebate mc card a fews years back they also gave me the standard platinum mc cc. Both these cards have a combined limit.

Checked through the website and this thread, don't see any use for it, can i safely assume that i can cancel the normal platinum card without affecting the cash rebate cc, ie. it's more like PBB Quantum Cards situation (can cancel either visa/mc) and not like the former MBB M2Cards that were bundled together (before the recent change)?

Ok thanks David

Thanks very much for this Clarence. May I know how did this work for you? I've entered my CTOS login credentials in the link you've provided and nothing happened?

I note the relevant terms in the tnc where they state 'This Campaign is open to all new and existing customers of CIMB as well as all new and existing customers of CTOS who are Malaysians ("Eligible Participant")' and 'Eligible Participants are entitled to a single complimentary check of their credit score to receive one MyCTOS Score Report (one time only) via email'. So I should be waiting for an email?

Thanks for the replies. Yea, seems to be an error on my own PC, tried different browsers but had problems . However, managed to get it through my phone. Thanks again and for the link as well Clarence!

Yes! Very good indeed.

However, i did not manage to utilise this wonderful card during the 11.11 lazada sale . It's times like this where the card is most useful right? I applied for the prepaid card during the middle of October. Didn't even receive it until now. Actually it was 'partly my fault' (I'm sure some will immediately jump to this as a defence ) as I didn't follow up with CIMB after several weeks and only thought about this card when i saw the lazada 11.11 promo with the cimb prepaid card a day before the promo . Still in my defence i was overseas for a period of time between then and when i called up the CS about my card i was informed that it was 'returned' to the bank, no reason given why. I was never notified as well about the 'failure' of the delivery or any other notification at all.

So, coupled with the serious allegations a few pages back (if true), deal with them with diligence.

Can't expect much from them when they even have 'a hard time' just trying to update my mailing address for the lazada prepaid card. Tried updating 2x on cimb clicks (no effect), then purposely went to branch just to get it updated. Even then the staff told me check back in 1 week's time, if not updated yet i have to visit them again. The worst thing is even the staff acknowledged that even though the 'new' address that i wish to use is already on the system (as it's assigned to another account and she even showed me on the pc monitor), still can't guarantee the switch would be 'successful' and i have to follow up with them..

And when i failed to receive the prepaid card, i didn't even get any notification, only when i followed up with the CS via telephone then i found out the delivery failed..

Just raising the awareness, got this from a thread in /k. FAQ BR. CIMB has raised their BR by 0.1%. Actually I wasn't surprised cause I was informed by a staff from CIMB last week as well about the proposed raise when i went to do the mailing address update (which remains a mystery)..

But the 'problem' is the manner in which it was revised (or at least they'll say they're working on notifying their customers ). A pdf/link on your website is not proper notification . Checked my cimbclicks and I also observed the 'quiet adjustment'. Plus the other reported negatives contained in this thread, just goes to show you how the bank operates.

I'm not saying they can't revise their BR/BLR/BFR. It's entirely in their discretion to do so. I'm just highlighting the manner in which it was done. Imagine logging into your maybank2u/pbe one day and see an increase in your loan interest rates but you didn't know about it prior. I'm sure I am not alone who would have some qualms about this..

Yes, a simple notification would do BEFORE revising the rates. Unfortunately in this case, it was overlooked ..

Welcome. Someone should suggest they 'follow' (very controversial word for competitors) the other bank's way of doing it, i.e. "approved in principle" so that there's not misunderstanding

Well somebody will probably say they're 'unrelated' on the surface, CC and online banking (if they really wish to clutch at straws), but just read through some of the more recent posts a couple months back and decide for yourself whether you feel 'safe' using their product..

Anyway, this is their official response on the alleged online breach:
link
Make of it what you will.. Cause the allegations are serious; potential defamation claim if untrue

Another 'silent sneaky' move? After the interest rate raise and cimbclicks debacle? Lol, kind of a pattern in terms of operation..

I just used the prepaid card days ago and the then existing 15% rebate was still there. Hopefully they do honour it..

Thanks for sharing this info .

You should follow up on recent news about CIMB.. From interest rate increase (the way it was done), alleged hacks/security compromise concerning cimbclicks (even seven7 had some input on it), Federal Court decision regarding exclusion clauses etc.. Very interesting

Thanks for this. Seems like the 17.2 is a new addition? A 50k annual restriction now for purchase/withdrawal. Guess people have abused it ?
