But if we already here, and don’t have BigPay, we have no choice but to look for one of these money changer.

1.  Use Cash back Credit Card to reload to earn CB and used freely on anything.
2.  Discounts on meal and luggage of AA flights.
3.  Good overseas exchange rate.

Suggest to add features below:
1.  Generate proper Monthly Statement like other Credit card statement.
2.  Send email notification / Receipt for payment made.
*
I like all the features that mentioned by u.

want to know they input the surcharge manually in terminal or will be charged upon payment like bank? and how do they classify overseas card themselves or the terminal will decide once captured the BIN?
*
I paid by cash at places like this. No point paying extra for unnecessary cost.

Bring some cash which exchange in Malaysia & using BigPay for places that don’t charge extra fee.

Today I used BigPay to check balance at the following ATM machines. Print balance slip is FOC.

Commonwealth Bank
NAB
Ex-rate 2.91280038449215

ANZ
Bendigo Bank
Westpac
Bank of Melbourne
Ex-rate 2.907304358949759

Didn’t manage to check & print balance slip from HSBC cos afraid BigPay will charge a fee.

can check BigPay balance at ATM? any charges? what's the difference checking in BigPay app and ATM?
*
Check at ATM, balance in AUD, whereas at BigPay app, balance in RM.

AUD / RM = ex-change rate

Balance can be display at ATM screen as well as print out as hard copy, no charges.

why would u need to do that whereby u could check it at Mastercard if u already have internet access to BigPay app?

Mastercard website can only check yesterday ex-change rate.

After checking with 6 banks, my conclusion is there are 2 groups of ex-change rate. You can know which banks having cheaper rate.

On 6 Jun 19, MC website ex-rate is 1 AUD = 2.922714 MYR

BigPay rate is 2.93 so BigPay is not always cheaper

yes, I also noticed master card exchange rate is not always cheaper than Midvalley money changer. But, if put all in consideration such as:

-How many person have time and money just purposely go to mid valley money changer and bring your hard notes to exchange?
-in bigpay, you're actually peace of mind, you're using credit card top up, then spend it in oversea (take in account the benefit given by cc, and big point)
*
I am not comparing between MC rate & Mid Valley rate. I am comparing between MC rate & BigPay settled rate.

How they "force" you?

I can't purchase thing below 50 cos I didn't bring enough cash. So indirectly if I want to pay by card, I have to add things to my purchase.

at the end did you manage to solve the 4 digit pin issue? use other card? or just enter the first 4 digit of your 6 digit pin?

I don’t think we can do anything about the 4-digit pin.

Credit limit is not unlimited. It's a representation of how much the bank would risk loaning to you at any one time.

So for someone with 100k income, perhaps bank Z feels can only loan them total 200k. But they already have 185k credit limit from other banks/cards. Even if their outstanding balance is 0, bank will not give the card.

Source - multiple failed CC applications until I cancelled the Citibank card that had unreasonably high credit limit (and zero utilisation).
*
Bank will determine max credit limit from total income. Then they will decide how much they want to give based on application.

Your experience is anecdotal, could be true or just a coincidence. Card application process no one can understand. Got few experiences.

1. I also kena before for Maybank 2 Premier. I kena rejected, even though I meet the requirement, then I ask them to tell me the reason why. They say they do not know why rejected it's the approval committee decision, just try reapply again in 6 months. Then i sent them email, they gave template answer, i ask again to check the reason why, they never reply but few days later I see in M2U already approved.
2. Another person also meet income requirement, but rejected. Then go to branch open premier account then approved.
3. Another person I know, family run multi multi million dollar company, but kena rejected (but this one more understandable as he never own any credit card before so no credit history).
Just FYI this is general advice how to improve one's credit score.

I also got this last year. They ask me for the card statement and reason why withdraw >100k in a month. After few weeks, account ban but I successful open back account after few months. Now I still withdraw 10k a month but I will spend some.
*
Withdraw > 100k in a month? Limit for CC top up is 10k per month, the rest top up by online banking?

Based on 3k withdrawal limit, you must be very busy looking around ATM machines that allow you to withdraw 3k. I guess you have nothing better to do.
