I just got my Affin Invikta credit card and realise not much benefit to have it. What will happen if i don't activate it? Don't want that yearly charges

Thanks

Call and cancel so that the credit card will be removed from your name and also CCRIS report. If not, it would appear as an outstanding commitment based on the credit limit assigned.

exploring cc to replace pbb qmc and vs after e-wallet cannot earn cash back

would like to ask all sifu here:
- DUO Visa, 3% cash back for online transaction, eWallet reloads and auto billing. Auto billing for insurance (Great eastern) eligible?
- DUO Visa+, 3% cash back for contactless transactions. Is this same concept like pbb quantum visa? Can wave 1k and key in pin, still consider as contactless transaction?
- long time ago need to go branch to collect new card. Is still the case now?
- what is the best way to apply? Contact them through this link? https://www.affinalways.com/en/general-prod...duct=creditcard

thank you

Some answers :

Contactless means no key in pin at all. Means transactions below rm250. Apparently some banks considered those that scan card (contact less) and then, keyin pin as contactless and some don't. So, be safe only use for transactions below rm250 so that don't have to enter pin

Card can be delivered to the branch or to your office/House address

Best way to apply - no promotion currently to apply direct at the bank website. The only small opportunity is to apply through direct sales agent. I applied a few months ago through a direct sales agent - at least got some small benefits like a free gift (not expensive one) and SST paid or reimburse by him 😂. If you want, pm me your name (initial will do) and contact number and I can ask him to call u

I got a hair dryer, looks like Dyson but certainty not. Maybe worth about rm40. Also, he pay for my SST of rm25.

Not a lot of free gift but better than nothing if applied at the branch or website.

switching from Public Bank Quantum. planning to get Affin Duo:

1) by any chance, anywhere on earth can get freebies for new Affin customer?  innocent.gif
2) planning to apply online and choose MyTown branch as collection point since it's nearby mah office. anyone had experience with MyTown branch? google rating 2.6 only. kek  doh.gif

See my previous post.

In summary, hard to get any freebies from Affin. However, I have a contact with an Affin credit card sales agent. Can get some small freebies like (1) activation gift worth about rm40 to rm50 and (2) reimbursement of first year SST of rm25

Nothing much but better than nothing. A few fellow from this forum have applied through him and got the freebies

If interested, do pm me

hi, is there such a thing with affin having max cc limit of 3 cards? first time I heard of this.

wanted to apply for duo after duo+ approved and they just sumbat me invikta without asking me. my application got rejected because of that reason.
*
Invikta is Affin version of privilege banking. Maybe u get rejected as didn't meet their invikta criteria?

Once the card has been approved, even if I don't activate it I have to wait 7 months to cancel it? cannot cancel it immediately? I applied then regret but cannot withdraw the application anymore, anyone can enlightened me?
*
Can cancel immediately.

The reason why the credit card agent or staff telling you this is because they will only be paid sales commission after 6 months. So, ask you to cancel in bulan 7 😂

Hi, I activated my VISA card on 23 Nov.

When I login to Affin Always, I found out my statement date should be 12 Dec but there is no ready statement to download. So I think my credit card is new and I should receive statement on 12th next month.

If this is the situation, may I know the VISA card cashback is calculated by month or by statement? If calculated by statement, does it mean that I have to stop spending at RM1,667 until next statement cycle if I only aim to get RM50 cash back?
*
1) Cash back based on statement date and on transactions posting date
2) Yes

Shared many times previously here.

I got a sales agent contact from Affin. Apply through him to get:
1. Activation gift worth about rm30 to rm50
2. Reimbursement of 2st year SST of rm25

If interested, direct pm me

Anyone has a recommended sales rep for Duo card? Submitted online application with EPF and pay slips supporting documents but the sales rep says need to call or email HR/my boss for verifications. Is this a normal process in Affin card applications? Please share your card application experience

Do, refer to my earlier posting on getting some freebies through sales agent

Affin rejected my application for their duo card today.. Lol. So unexpected..
I don't owe banks or credit cards, I have existing cards, and my salary is way above the minimum, only have car loan very low commitment..
What could be the possible issue ah?
*
Most probably due to you having a few credit cards.

Credit card is considered unsecured loan. The amount of your credit limit is treated as the amount of your unsecured loan. Yes, you didn't use all your credit limit but the limit is treated as the the maximum exposure as you can use it.

So, chances maybe due to the credit limit for all the cards is too high

I only agreed to the increase of limit bcoz got reward rm100 if agree let them increase.. Lol. I got the rm100 reward at my statement last month... Anyway yes I think they suka suka give big limit waiting u to bomb.. Then maybe let u repay thru your nose... Lol.
Otws i personally think increase of limit means more liability.. As in later kena fraud or what.. Got so much of limit is so not safe eh...

Today I check my ccris all 0..... But still was rejected.. Lol. Is OK la will reapply later or walk in bank tell them I pledge fd....

My new job pay doubled so yea I submitted my epf statement... It has no issues but like I said was rejected also 😂

But is ok la not the end of the world... Will try to find solution which branch

Pay is only 1 one of the considerations.

You need to look at the amount of your total borrowings. It might be that you have a few credit cards. For your information, credit card limit is shown as unsecured loan even you did not use the credit at the moment. The limit represents the amount you can use in the future. So, it affects your affordability to applying for new credit card

Q - are we able to get loyalty cashback or something like that to offset the service tax?
