0% for 6 months if NTB ?
I read the T&C seems like interest free. Sure no strings attached ?
What will be the monthly payment requirement or lump sum at the end or ... ?
hmm.gif
*
No strings attached. RM 2.5k per month for 6 months, if take up max RM 15k. I took RM 15k.

Possible. Apply, activate and spend can be done without thumbprint.
For the online access activation, required thumbprint for the mobile number registration
*
Hmm.. I wasn't required for any thumb print for online access activation.

I can BT more than the actual outstanding amount, right?

If no statement is required, then you can do any amount so long your CL permits (80%).

Can monthly payments of car loan, car insurance and road tax payments be eligible for cash rebate? Lets say they are paid through standing instructions or auto debit. Or only if transacted through online?

You cannot pay a credit with another credit.

"maximum transfer amount capped at RM15,000 or shall not exceed 80% of available credit limit/facility limit, whichever is lower".
Does that mean if your credit limit for the affin card is 10k, you can only take CIP of RM 8k?
*
Yes.

Yes you can, by using a 3rd party intermediary service but with all other services, it comes with a service fee.

Well, just reload to BigPay and withdraw to loan account.

In term of straightforward way, we all know we can't pay a credit with another credit.

I used to have this idea before, until the time i one time lump sum paid my PTPTN few years back with CC.

Haha, but yup generally the statement is correct, no credit on another credit.

I had PTPTN too and paid off my loan with CC. I guess government wants youngsters to be poorer. biggrin.gif

Wow 10 to 20 cards? Would anyone be allowed to hold that many credit cards?
*
Why not? I have more than 25 now. BNM only has requirements for those earning below 36k to have cards from two issuing banks. Otherwise, there's no limit so long banks approve.

I have 7 and I have to spend time to watch the payment due dates.  How do you manage 25 cards?
*
But I don't use all every month la. Maybe just less than 10, still manageable actually.

Like Affin, already 3 cards but from same bank, so same statement date.

Maybe they received high influx of applications and it's much slower now. When the card was just introduced, it can be approved on next working day. They had some confusion with my address issue but my first Affin card was approved on 9th Sept, applied on 1st.

Can we activate only the Visa card and ignore the MasterCard?

Well, you can try but no effect if you are trying to avoid paying SST... SST will be charged on Visa and not MasterCard.

Never cancel them? Now ewallet limits and bigpay limits, no point to keep them right. My high day was 17 only. Cut a few each time bigpay limits them, boost then stopped withdrawals.

Now left 8. Scb 2, affin 3, maybank 1, pbb 2, Ambank 1.

SCB gonna go once I make use of the card retention benefit. And ambank don't really use anymore since affinduo came into play.
*
I cancelled a few recently and I recounted again, I still have 22. smile.gif
Like I said, I don't use all, some are required for travels and etc.

Also, all this while my spending is not about BP and Boost. smile.gif

Affin Duo is good but others are good as backup.

So, I just called Affin Bank at 10.46 a.m. for CIP application and I was told an officer will call me back by today.

I'm surprised the call came in 5 minutes ago. rclxms.gif He asked me which card I want to use for CIP, I chose Rewards card so that I won't mess up with other cards' transaction as I don't plan to use this card at all. The problem is I haven't activated that CC yet. tongue.gif So, CS helped me to activate as well. Good job.

Everything was done via phone, it will be credited within 3-5 working days. The officer who called said if I'm interested with 0% BT, can straight contact CS and mention his name. This guy is efficient. thumbup.gif

Oh ya, my earlier call to CS also checked for my Duo statement date and I was told it is the same as VS.
