Does anyone know how long is the validity period of the shopee e-voucher for the PBB new CC application promotion? (the gift of either the barry smith 4 in 1 trolley set or the RM288 shopee e-voucher). Didn't manage to find any info from the t&c.

Hi. I've done a search through the earlier thread regarding a question. Is it correct to say that if i apply a supplementary card for my pbb quantum and opt for the separate statement (hence separate limit), the cashback entitlement will not be combined for the principal and the supplement cards? Ie. Rm30 cb for visa and mc each for principal and rm30cb for the visa and mc each for the supplementary card?

Yes. Supplementary with separate statement will has its own card benefits cash back quota; not share with principal cardholder.

Ok thanks very much David.

I think only email. To be honest, PBB is really super strict among all banks I have in Malaysia for credit limit increment despite my CL has 6 figures.

First time failed, second attempt failed, third time took 3 working days for them to approve for the increment

QUOTE(saboteurs @ Aug 29 2018, 10:07 AM)
Yeah that's at least from my personal experience

most of the banks auto increase.. but no idea with this public ... nevertheless, it's still a superb bank for its CC I'd reckon!
*
Haha, I have a different experience though. Posted this in the m2c thread earlier. Got my CC approved with PBB (my first CC with them) but Maybank rejected my application to increase my credit limit (not even a new CC application doh.gif ), despite me being an existing MBB CC customer for years and always full statement balance payments for all CC and existing loans (including MBB!!). So CCRIS is clean. I also applied for temporary credit limit increase from CIMB (to fund a large purchase which will be paid off anyway). All 3 were done in the space of 2/3 weeks and I didn't even need to appeal to PBB/CIMB. The reason why I wanted the credit limit increase with MBB was also because i wanted to utilize their latest BT promo of 12 months 0%.

Well I know some will be able to point out some 'weaknesses in my application' if you look hard enough but yea. 'Rejected' on 1 criterion only? The funny thing is my monthly income now (not even taking into account others like bonus etc) is only a few hundreds RM below my current MBB CC limit. Even submitted my BE Form! Overall, was very disappointed with MBB dry.gif.

I think the people processing the credit cards don't really care. They still get paid approving or rejecting your application.

I got rejected by Hong Leong twice spanning 15 years. The first time was when I just started working, pay exceeding the minimum requirement for the then Silver card. I never bothered with Hong Leong since then. The second, they asked me to apply.....so it's a waste of time filling up all the long application form and supporting docs.

Yea, sometimes it pays to 'think' before making a decision. Oh well there's nothing we can do when they have blanket discretion on these applications. And to me, no point in putting FD with them just to secure a new CC (possibly one with higher credit limit which would achieve your aim) if you can put the money elsewhere for higher interest. Just move on to the next financial institution.

Anyway, not to go OT so i'll end here.

I think PBB can apply for temporarily credit limit increase too, right?

Yup, I was referring more to the part where you mentioned about PBB's strictness.

QUOTE(Sumofwhich @ Aug 30 2018, 02:46 PM)
OT but it's the same case for me, however, if you appeal through email and attach supporting documents, they will approve it.
Through M2U, it's easy to decrease your CL but to increase your CL, might need to do some appealing through email.
*
Thanks for this, yea i'm trying to appeal, this time with additional income documents, hopefully it's successful and the persons considering it would actually use their brains for once.

You're a (witch) Doctor, different story la. Banks will be running to send you cards. And now beg you not to cut them cards for SST.

Hong Leong got send you Visa Infinite Doctor Edition?

Srs, you mean David is a doctor? Lol I can relate to your comment regarding doctors, though in my case, my gf is a dentist( still have to call Dr kan), my oh my, all CC applications approved, even with PTPTN loan. Mind you she applied for 4 CCs in the space of a couple of weeks only. No appeal even needed. And no record of any credit facilities before. And yes, she also has the HLB 'doctors' edition' card. While I, just one CC limit increase application to add several k also, too 'high risk' cry.gif . Appeal was just a waste of time too whistling.gif

Anyway, not going OT any further.

IMO , once bank decline u.. dont even bother to appeal

appeal only means they cross check ...

after all, chances to fail still very high

if banks value u... dont have even start to apply.. they will call u with minimal documents submitted .. and voila.. approved !!!
*
laugh.gif Well appeals do work at times.. Especially CC applications.. But CC limit increase? Wow, that's like asking money from a scrooge. Like you say, either you have value to them banks or, if not, luck.. Never underestimate the latter. So many posts across FBI/CC threads where both Party A and B do the same thing, but different outcome..

Can you show us the content of your appeal email? Look.. if this is your point of view , I accept.

If you want to prove it to us, show some solid evidence to backup your statement, otherwise its just pure hearsay
*
O/T: Lol, didn't think that his post could have touched a nerve for some.. Just sharing his experience anyway. Like a few have before his. It's a forum.. No offence, it does seem you're a bit 'desperate' to prove your point that appeal is entirely useless.. Told you mate, it works sometimes for CC applications.. Not so much for anything else though..

Please refer to my previous post. I did mentioned appeal did *not* work for *most* of the cases

and from my personal experience, i never appeal before so i have no idea how appeal works

but judging from my common sense and facts most of forumers here get their wish turned down when they put hopes on it.. if its approved, then that's the other way around

and the story is different if you are talking about those in mbb threads splitting CL limit for islamic cards

i wish to reiterate again, most of the appeals will get turned down eventually ... even there are few forumers here quite persisting in appealing causing them mad in the end

one of them obviously is David83 infamous appealing for his mbb .

one more example is fruitie infamous for keep trying applying and appealing for her public bank cc application... guess whats the result? u know it...  (for few years?, seriously)?

few other forumers i forgot name, but with search button you can see *Most* of them get turned down !

and Im not wrong asking for proof.. otherwise its just pure hearsay knowing public bank is infamous for its strict requirement
*
I see. Ok points taken.. But i think many (not all) do know that an appeal is just another chance to try, can't know if you don't try.. Maybe just have to be realistic though with the outcome..and yea PBB is quite strict, well run bank..

From my experience and my own opinion, the people who process applications don't really care. How did I find out? I wrote something in the email, and they ask me the same question again. And some don't even know how to read my payslips. So they ask for more supporting documents. So what my friend told me in the past is true.

When their higher level is involved, it put their competency at stake. Especially when you can justify everything, it'll make them incompetent in front of their superior. And of course, if Bank 1Negara start questioning top execs, more people will get grilled.

But I didn't have such problem with Public Bank. Maybe me application went through because I was holding only 1 card at that time.

p/s : If you read the application form carefully, some banks require only 1 supporting document. Some needs only 1-3 moons payslip but they conveniently ask for 6 moons payslip, EPF la, EA form la.

Thanks for sharing this, some further understanding; and thanks to jiaen for the awareness too wink.gif .

Most of the ATMs, CDMs and physical branches will go disappeared by 2025(-2030), as well as PB VS and Quantum CCs and cash-back schemes.

It will be more convenience to get cash from the cashiers at the supermarkets. Banks will save cost to maintain ATMs, CDMs and human to transport cash.

We're so 'backwards' it's unbelievable.. And mind you this is our financial sector, where it is already quite 'advanced' in Malaysian terms and if you compare with the other industries.. I remember I could literally opt for cashback at a small convenience store (not even a chain store) in the UK 10 years ago with a debit card and it's so common that you sort of expect these things to be the norm there..

Already been try ,what i can do is just email their customers service to feedback
Even the branch guy call me and say been order from his manager to do this
But i doubt this is a standard procedure
How come application rejected still need to pay stamp duty?
I can say sure something wrong , impossible i apply debit petron also rejected
*
Well just a suggestion, if i were you I would try another branch of the same bank. In my experience, it has worked (at least for MBB and for different types of applications). Sometimes these bank staff are not well trained and/or prefer to save face and try to 'solve' your case themselves instead of asking around for advice/assistance or tell you they are not sure themselves.
