Still not so sure ... May be yes, may be not. But isn't RM40k of credit line for a World Mastercard too low ? And the priviledges provided aren't any different to their Platinum Visa.

I seriously hope they would redesign their Premier Mastercard. It's like the most hideous designed exclusive credit card in the world.
Only if you close it within 3 months after opening, you'll then have to pay RM20.
I think it was tgeoklin and tinkerbell said the HSBC Malaysia issued Premier Mastercard isn't a "World Mastercard" in the last credit card thread ? Sorry if i quoted the wrong people.

Looking at the types of Mastercard available in SEA here, if the Premier card is not a World card ...and it's definitely not gold or platinum... then is it a standard classic card?

Because I see the word "World" next to the Mastercard logo and based on the information available on the website, that's how you determine if you're indeed carrying a World Mastercard. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@hye,
hMm.... SCB's revising it up, right? If I ain't mistaken it used to be RM200k?!

@tgeoklin,
hMm... how come my RM200k didn't become RM250k then?!

@tgeoklin,
siGh..... unfortunate for me but I prefer diamonds; which honestly is a crap investment

@tgeoklin,
I haven't gotten my 1.5 carat stud so hehehehh let it drop more!  Know any banks giving our diamonds when you join them as member?!

@tgeoklin,
Send over the details of the Ah Bengs + their family members and what they're offering and I'll decide if it's worth it

@mouldybread,
I think banks should have issued a statement to their customers before charging them monthly fees

maybank private banking - the best pleasure is to go into a crowded and packed bank and simply stroll to the counter and potong everyone. u guys have to see the angry eyes of other patrons who waited for hours for their turn. that experience is worth every ringgit i have to park in the CA

Sure badly hit. Reputation is very important in the banking business.

All HSBC Premier customer will be given RM30K starting limit on the Premier card and the basis is the amount of total investments you have with the bank. (Cash and non-cash investments) Not sure how to increase the CL further.

oh okay, noted with thanks. just wana ensure this card feature before opening hsbc premier

Without any investment or deposit commitment with them you will also qualified if you're holding a CC with CL more than 75k. 

I was called by the RM from Plaza Damansara branch regarding this , and i accepted her offer since i need not commit any deposit or investment to CIMB. I received the " CIMB CLUB " card and subsequently they sent me another " CIMB Preferred " to replace the old one. 

There is no hidden charges for this PB as i have double confirm with my RM. i think the 75k above eligibility will be changed AFAIK no finance institution grants a customer PB status without commit any investment or deposit with them. No harm give a try right ? It doesn't cost you anything. You can try to contact their Preferred Centre and get more info about it 
Some benefit are like Cimb Preferred Centres and Priority Lane for immediate banking in all their branches ,Negotiable rate on HP , Housing Loan and also OD, CIMB Preferred account which you can withdraw up to 10k cash in any ATM , unlimited in their preferred banking centre, Preferred parking etc..

They never approached me. Mines a World MC with RM100k CL with CIMB.  Maybe I don't look rich enough kaka.

I assume you do not bank with them except their credit card product. But in approaching customer , i think HSBC is the most aggressive one as i always receive their call to offer me the PB , but i dont think at this time i would need it.

now cimb preferred is offering pre approved platinum cards still or they offer pre approved visa infinite and world mastercard?

Interesting about the Bank Rakyat premier banking tiers.

Having a credit card with limit above RM 250k entitles one to the top tier of the premier banking apparently.
