How come all not waiting till 10th to put money in? This promo is not one-shot 30 day of interest given on day 1 right?

From tnc, it's based on first come first serve and 1 Bil allocation.

Interest in pocket also 3%, no difference.
*
What difference does it make for first come first serve? The cashback is credited daily (and must be calculated daily, otherwise some 'smart' person will withdraw on 11th April). Will GXBank give 30 days of 5% rate to certain customer for the whole 30 days while some customer get only 3% the whole 30 days? Makes much more sense that if the response really that overwhelming everyone will get 5% rate for first X days until total accumulated 1 billion allocation, so after that every user also will get 3%.

It's like the 1 sen thief. By them not giving out rh 1 sen, how much they earn from the 1b? I think easily 1m.

In the midst of everyone doing detailed calculation suddenly can have 'pick from air' numbers like this. To earn 1 million at 10 cents per pax over 30 days need 333,333 customers to be affected. Each customer save 3k (at exactly the right decimal value per pocket)?

why use 4941.01 instead of 5000 sorry im losing if i use 5k?
*
Not losing, you still get the same amount. Is just that those who do 4941.01 can put the remainder of RM58.99 somewhere else to earn additional interest. Actual difference is about 18 sen in interest earned from Rize 3.8% (for example). Multiply by 10 for 10 pockets. That's the 'loss'. For normal people, the hassle of moving small amounts here and there and spending your brain to calculate is worth more than this.

Wa so much competition

I just realised the main balance can be used meanwhile, the one in pocket can't be used...

I use contactless. It does not automatically transfer from pocket to main balance

This is for security as the previous members have shared. Debit cards are really insecure otherwise, imagine you kena 20k swiped.

Does payment for car service can get cashback?
Waited for 3 days, still show processing.
Will it fails? Then i need to pay the car service again
*
Why still show processing? I just did car service on 22nd, by 23rd received cashback no issue. If any issue is the car workshop which never submit documents in timely manner probably (some old fashioned do weekly).

Depends on people.
Some will like it.. is like extra service giving u a feeling that the bank is going extra mile to protect ur money

Banks are defending their money too, not just your money. Money is their ricebowl, even though is 'yours', this is their source of income, that's why they will protect it. When scammer convince some retired teacher to release her 450k life savings, not just her who lost, her bank now lost that income stream for the next 15 years maybe.

TBH the 3->6% still okay, but once October comes around and it's 2-4%.... I wouldn't waste the time, just put all in UOB One (for those who holding >100k) or Rize/KDI.

Or use premium phones for longer. Cheap phones tend to spoil easily also anyway. Samsung now giving 7 year software/security update guarantee supposedly (but for their phone price may as well change mid-range phone every 2 years).

So either 1.5% or 0.9% additional interest on that exact amount for one month deposit. Not bad. Wonder whether will run out fast.

QUOTE(TOS2 @ Mar 10 2025, 01:50 AM)
A lot of people make the mistake of choosing IRR vs NPV. The key reason to choose 888 vs 188 is this: reinvestment opportunity(ies).

Yea, true, 188 indeed offers higher % return vs 888, and we usually quote returns in annualized percentage, hence this issue arises.

Let's breakdown the maths. RM3 return over 188 for 1 month -> annualized simple interest (x12 months): 19.15% p.a.

RM 8 return over 888 for 1 month -> annualized simple interest (x 12 months): 10.81% p.a.

But one should bear in mind this promo is "seasonal", i.e., it's not year-long, it only happened during CNY promo (and maybe another round during Hari Raya? Christmas?)

We never know. But what we know now, is that in one month's time, you get RM 3 out of 188 and Rm 8 out of 888.

It's important to bear in mind that by quoting the returns in annualized term you are implicitly assuming you will get RM 3 for 188 every month till end of February/early March next year, which is clearly not the case.

Think carefully, 19.15 % p.a. and 10.81% p.a. are both ridiculously high interest rates, why would GX Bank give you such rates when they only charge 8.88% p.a. for their personal loan Flexicredit (annualized, effective rate, which is always higher than simple interest rate anyway).

Thus, from a user's point of view, RM 8 in one month vs RM 3 in one month with a promo not certain to continue in the coming months, or at least with some degree of uncertainty, you should maximize net present value (NPV) by choosing the 888 package instead of the 188 package, even though the later offers higher annualized return, which is right from the start, a misleading figure to use for such a short-term, infrequent promo.

Google "NPV vs IRR fallacy". A lot of people make that mistake. Standard business school lectures will cover that: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3090678

Consider we both kiamsiap and calculative. Just sharing with sifu.  tongue.gif
*
Consider also that this thread has users still doing the rm0.01 rounding method due to its 4% return rate....

Finance is as much about psychology as maths.

Those who get blocked should also list down what they did transaction wise. I feel most already know which is the transactions which raised suspicion on GX side...

What tnc says can block account as they like?I'm curious to know.
Also, go ahead and put all your money in this bank, good luck
*
All agreements (that you agree today when creating account) have general clauses about your account being subject to scrutiny and review by the financial institution, and that the facilities provided to you can be removed at the institution's sole discretion should there be suspicion of improper use of the facility.

You are a customer not a shareholder, and hence your primary right is to not be lied to and to take your business elsewhere. You don't have a right to an unblocked account, any more than you have a right to a plate of nasi lemak at the mamak (they can just choose not to serve you).

Depends on those individuals, somehow complaining is easier than transparency. And perhaps some feel that public posting will 'trigger' something.
