I've had a fraud with AMEX causing it to be charged RM9k which naturally made my credit limit burst for two months. In M2U also stated my credit limit exceeded but I can still swipe as usual.

ahha i on the other hand use these 2 reasons together:

I am not using this card at all, hence i will not pay blindly for the RM25 SST. Settle!

So glad that AMEX can be linked to Boost now. Removed from Maybank Barcelona from Boost immediately. biggrin.gif

Boost acceptance rate is actually much higher in some places compared to credit cards.

Also Boost gives extra shake rewards so you even get more cashback.

Really hope Maybank doesn't revert the weekend spending back to food only like the dark times.

Hi guys!

Just collected about 100k TP last month. Been using Amex cards for about a year already, so slow to accumulate point. Anyway, any suggestions on what to redeem to make it worthwhile? What do you guys usually redeem it for?

Air Miles. Redeem suite class.

100k TP is way too little for even a business class, what's more suite class. laugh.gif

the rest can top up with cash icon_idea.gif

but if the treat points not expiring i would rather accumulate. unless the person really needs the cash vouchers to support their shopping expenses then by all means.

Hello, sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm finding it kinda hard to find this information. I currently have Maybank 2 Card Gold, and it's about to expire next month. However, I am now within the income bracket to apply for M2C Platinum.

My questions are:
1. Is it a good idea to upgrade to Platinum simply because I am within the income bracket to apply? I'm happy with the Gold, and I don't forsee my credit card habits changing. I only use it to pay for monthly deductions for insurance, maybe for some bills in the future, and some one-off purchases once in a while.

2. If I were to upgrade to Platinum, would there be any major differences that I need to look out for or be wary about? (Besides Platinum's Travel Insurance)

Thanks in advance smile.gif

the travel insurance is pointless though. better to get a proper travel insurance. it's always better to have a higher credit limit as it may make your CTOS score prettier.

Higher credit limit means ctos prettier meh? I thought higher credit limit means it'll eat into your financial commitments.

Higher credit limit, I believe will affect the ability for you to borrow loan later for your house. This is because, even if you don't utilise upto the limit for your monthly spending, it is already committed for you.

Hmmm. I always call banks to reduce my limit. Like affinbhp at 1.5k, public bank at 3k and etc.
*
higher credit limit doesn't mean ask you spend until your limit la boss.

This is because, even if you don't utilise upto the limit for your monthly spending, it is already committed for you.

a limit is just a limit, not your spending

beebee1314 is correct though. The total commitments given to you will affect your loan/credit applications in the future, regardless whether you spend it or not.
*
depending on your spending patterns lor. if you can pay back all your bills on time i don't see why the bank will limit your loan applications. it is always easier to reduce your credit limit than to increase it. you never know when you need emergency funds (e.g. hospitalisation) and a higher credit limit will give you much needed breathing space.
