Today, I found a very weird issue, I have not manage to pay fully for a month but the interest charges of 15% shock me as roughly I am outstanding around RM500 but the interest is RM90++. This is the response that I have from them:

We would like to inform that your payment for October 2018 statement's outstanding balance was not in full resulted all new transactions to be calculated for finance charge starting from the posting date of the transaction.

This basically means on 5 Nov, I settle partial of my outstanding to min payment to outstanding balance RM500 bringing forward for next statement, to my shock my new spending for the next billing of RM9K with the balance of RM500 is charge together with the 15% interest.

I am just curious is this the way interest been charge actually.

Yes. Thats why never only pay minimum. Always pay statement balance in full.

Yes, I just regret why I did not pay fully for the mere outstanding of RM500 as I thought the RM500 will be charge 15% interest only but not the new spending for the month.

This is something new which basically means to me if ever there is outstanding for me, I will not spend anymore new transaction if I have not pay in full for previous month.

Just think if you have two card:

1 Master with like 40k LIMIT

1 VS with like 30k LIMIT,

Does this mean each card have their own limit that I can balance transfer out 80% from master and vs from the total limit of 70k or this is actually sharing limit of the highest 40k?

Can someone recommend me a better cashback card than Visa Signature? Planning to close all my PB accounts due to frustration with online banking.

This is so subjective as well depends on how much your spending and what category of spending as VS is till RM688++ to earn RM38.

You have can have HLB WISE, Maybank Barcelona etc....

Exactly, pointless to use own lifestyle and whether worthy or not based on own standard as everyone have their own different judgement. And whether fair or not also not within us to judge, let the bank decide.

I feel funny with all this comparison on the minutes and cash, to different people, different amount of cash give different meaning to them.

To someone who spends 15 bucks over for Starbucks, maybe 15 bucks is nothing, meanwhile for another person who spend less than 5 bucks for mixed rice lunch, 15 bucks means 3 meal to them.

Therefore, earning extra 50 bucks a week to even 200 bucks a month means differently to everyone. The same goes to when you see someone queue for 10-30 mins just for a free sample of something, maybe someone will said why such a hassle for that and will that worth it for a mere few bucks sample.

It is a pointless debate whether it is worth it or not as every cent means differently to everyone.

This seems to be normal, quite a few platform have this requirement, only works in mobile apps for codes from credit card provider.

I've done exactly that. Just give CS a call after charging min 1200 on Bigpay to your Quantum card and request to convert to 12 months 0% Flexi Pay (card feature). You will receive an SMS confirmation right after the call with CS. Pretty seamless process  smile.gif

Till when this offer?

3rd month already. I expect we will start seeing posts with

"I receive cashback  Spend Everyday with PB Visa Credit Card – Month 1"

followed by

"I didn't receive cashback. I spent on XXXXX"
in 2 - 4 weeks time.

I think PBB did timed this perfectly .. any of those confidently spending RM300 - RM600 on Bigpay/Boost cannot recover in time already.

No issue also with topping up on Bigpay/Boost as no losses for anyone doing this mistake actually as at anyhow they will need to withdraw especially Bigpay with higher withdrawal amount for the same fees.

i think it's quite obvious what e-wallets are la. some of the people here just refuse to accept reality. cashback if any, is probably a glitch from the bank side.
*
Nothing much to confirm actually if you ask me as can only be test, calling CS to confirm this and that so called eWallet or even that prepaid card or any form of topup to something similar to ewallet that keeping your cash is just abit pointless.

Bravo, if some like TNG not included, maybe BP which mainly to me is due to how they capture all this kind of eWallet, if some manage to avoid due to the program capturing using MCC code etc then congrats!
