Hi. I just settle my ptptn loan repayment lump sum. But my statement it's not up to date & the officer did mention usually it takes 1 month to update the statement and release a letter of debt settlement. I don't have any credit history before this also. May I know if I try to apply for credit card what are the chances of approval or should wait one month for the release letter ?

Hi, i think my case quite similar to yours so perhaps i can explain my situation to you.

I also settled lump sum to PTPTN early of last month, just that am not applying new, am upgrading from gold to platinum (been using gold since 2011 😅), credit limit seriously low so been asking them to increase credit limit and adviced by the lady staff direct upgrade to platinum.

So what i did was submitted all the required documents, with the temporarily issue letter from PTPTN office saying i already settled the PTPTN loan as supporting document.

Voila, sms came in about a week after that my application is succesfully.

Is there a rule where there is a minimum period to wait before putting in another CL increase request?

I have never failed in MBB CL increase request but this round I failed. My last CL increase was in April 2018.
*
I think so. Last month i just upgraded my card to platinum. Then early of this month i add on the barcelona VS, i ask the lady staff i wish to increase my CL, but she replied, sir, you “just” increased your CL last month. So at the end my CL remain.

Haha. So they're very the efficient. Look see your ccriss then you should know if Public Bank is the reason, or too soon an application.

I've read somewhere in this forum that Maybank2me will reduce your limit if you're not utilizing it.
wahhhh 1 month so soon. I thought have to wait until got extra income only can ask, but of course, no one can stop you from trying either.
*
Last time submitted all the required documents then everything went smooth lo. I did ask the branch staff how will the CL given, she said sometime 2x, sometimes 2.5 based on pay. Obviously i just got 2x la. 😒

Anyway, it is enough also lah based on my spending style during my 7 years time with my gold m2c.

Hehe you feel enough because you haven't learn from all the masters here on how to make money with credit cards.

I've read normally is 2x-3x. Somehow I got around 1.5x monthly basic + OT salary. They're last in my application spree, so maybe that's the reason. They didn't gave me any hassle, so thumbs up to Maybank2me.

Yup I know. BT is one of the interesting part.

Sorry, i meant Maybankard Amex Gold got different with Platinum?

Is travel insurance really important? Other than travel insurance seems like nothing different.
*
Call line is different. You will have dedicated call line to customer service if you are using platinum or VS as bith of then share the same line. Much convenient and fast compare to gold call line.

Dont treat like the travel insurance is important or not ( it is important though, but not this complementary type), treat this travel insurance free from platinum card as bonus.

Other thing might be credit limit? Much higher credit limit.

Thank you so much for the clarification. I had actually decided to cancel off my gold visa. Now thinking about wanna upgrade my Amex to platinum or not.
*
Platinum is always good la compare to gold. I just upgraded mine early of september, not aiming for the travel insurance of course, but the credit limit, and sometimes need to get to the CS with much much faster time.

Sifus, have a question here regarding credit limit and instalment.

Lets say my CL is RM 20k, if i want go for a RM 24k item purchased, 24 months zero % instalment, it cannot get through right? Even it just occupied 1k each months for the following 24 months and i still can have RM 19k limit for other usage.

Yeah?

I think someone mentioned about transferring money to your credit card account if you want to increase credit limit. In your particular case, just transfer RM4K to your credit card account and swipe RM24K for 24 months. After 1 month, your credit limit balance will be RM1K, after 2 months = RM2k, after 3 momths= RM3K and so on. Not much left for your other usage
*
Oh CL works in that way ya? I thought i would still left 19k for other usage for the following 24 months.

But thanks for your explainatio mate!

Not sure, that was retail purchase using Visa, not from FPX.
U can temporary increase ur CL by top up to ur card prior the installment. For instance, u short of RM4k then u top up RM4k then u can perform the installment.
*
Thanks for your explaination too. I am clear on how the instalment works now. rclxms.gif

Is it “normal” i called MBB cs and the guy claimed that my m2c gold will need 7 days to be cancelled but not immediately?

And the funny point is, i called to their dedicated plat/vs line, after knowing that i owned the m2c plat, the guy still ask me
“May i know why you want to cancel the m2c gold?” I am like wat?!

Lol

CS told me card will be cancelled automatically once new card is activated.

Unless it is new flow right now? I upgraded mine last year September. And i got 4 cards till December then only i called to cancel my m2u gold. The reason was my monthly insurance premium charged to my gold, so after filing some documents to change card, then finally saw the premium charged to my platinum then only i called to cancel my gold.

Again the silly thing, CS is like robotic reply:
“Can I know why you want to cancel your m2c gold?”

I told him obviously I already got the platinum, that is why I want to cancel the gold. 🤣

Looks good. 30k into 12 months 0% installment. Downside is need to swipe 30k and convert it, not real cash from bank for you to spend. But, there is always a way to make it become real cash. Smart people smart way.

anyone tried to apply for credit limit increase for Maybank 2 Gold Amex before? Did it got approved?

reason being I'm current only holding the AMEX card (Visa card already cancelled) and I'm reluctant to upgrade to platinum since I will be getting back 2 cards again
*
I dont find the reason to refuse your request if all the documents submitted are relevant and enough.

I got my approval like about 2 years back. With just pay slip submitted.

Anyway, going to cancel my platinum 2 cards soon once i got another bank single cc. Holding quite some cards from diff banks now, so ya, try to reduce.

Hi guys, I'm currently on the 2 card gold and would like to move up to the 2 card plat. do i apply then cancel or do i walk into a branch and get their advice instead
*
Years back, i applied new M2C plat 1st, once approved, then only call in to cancel the M2C gold. As advised by the bank staff.


And the funny part is, later on when i called in to cancel the M2C gold, the CS ask the reason why? And i told her obviously is because i got the M2C plat ald, no point to keep the M2C gold.

And then now, i am going to cancel the M2C plat too, few more months more before SST kick it😬.

Nothing wrong with these M2C, just i got better cards and this one no longer interesting.
