so there are a mixed of feedbacks on changing statement dates for affin cards. I called CS just now for CIP and change statement date.

I called last Friday, the CS didnt let me change statement date. I called again, this CS very nicely help me change. According to her, 14, 16, 22 are the only available dates. so, for those who failed the 1st time, dont give up and try again. i didnt want to scold the CS the first time, but it's a reflection of Affin CS training la.

Mine was 22nd, it just screws up all my other scheduling with other cards. so i had to change it. just dislike end of month statement date. 14 is somewhat tolerable.

11/9 - apply website
14/9 - biometric
18/9 - application submitted - appear in CCRIS as pending and IVR pending
5/10 - still pending

its normally take a while becoz agent normally submit once they come back to HQ office. but from submission to approval, should not take very long.

same process with mine.. don't worry about it.. i got my card today only. but i requested them to do within AFFIN bank itself.

The original statement date is the one on the letter with the card right?

mine was not exactly fast either, some here seems faster. from biometric to approval of card was 12 days for me. maybe wait few more days, if not call the sales agent or CS?

no statement date printed.

are you sure you see the "right" date?

Those who have successfully obtained CIP; any other fees shown up ?

this morning cs called me to confirm, and I received sms approved few hours later.
max 15k only..

i managed to login to affin to check ONLINE

i have activated Cash Back VISA card .

and got charged RM25 SST .
i remeber , it;s going to waive , right ?

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.

But subsequent years the SST will be charged on both cards right? only for the first year Mastercard's SST is waived.

Yes but God knows what will happen to this card one year later.

the auto billing cash back got include insurance??

Also the bank may reduce the monthly cashback for Visa, PB and SC had reduced the monthly rebate over the years.

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.

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.
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.

Affin Duo is good but others are good as backup.
