thanks for the info. I'm going to get married, and at the same time would like to help my future spouse to clear his 2 credit card debts. so both of us can concentrate on paying 1 loan with 1 interest rate, rather than multiple interest rate and multiple credit statements.
any advice or alternatives?
Well, you can try balance transfer among each card if the limit is allow. Because BT interest rate is lower compare to personal loan. Or you can OPT for Fast Cash (withdraw money from credit card and pay installment with low rate, it's not cash advance).
I'm saying all possibilities for credit card.
Well, the only way I can see to get cash is from credit card and personal loan.
After your future wife's debt cleared, then maybe ask her to cancel it and you get a supplementary card for her (if both of you are financial sharing or she is financial dependent).

Hi just wanna ur opinion, I receive a check from Maybank RM5k called as fast cash with intrest free for 6 month but with service charge RM192(3.88%- I assume this is the interst?).
I have no plan to used the money but it is worth for me to take the offer and put it in ASB or unit trust?
I have no problem paying the monthly installment of RM833 fro 6 month.
Not worth to put into ASB or UT.
I use straight forward calculation.
3.88% for 6 months then it's 7.76% P.A.
Assumed ASB return 8% P.A, you earn 0.24% P.A only.
Not to say Unit trust as the return is not guaranteed (might be negative) and their service charge is high.
