tell me wat is the gift

Today I just applied an EON Bank Mastercard Platinum from their branch, the sales staff wants me to support them. They are having promotion now, on-the-spot-approval. They told me will inform me by today and let me know whether my application is being approved or rejected. But till now have not received any call yet.

Emmm .... I was attracted by their Pavilion card promotion as well several months back. The main selling point was the on-the-spot approval - unfortunately I didn't get the confirmation on the spot nor got it within the same day. I later found out that overseas transactions attract an additional 2.5% on top of what you have to pay for all EON Bank credit cards - I didn't like this at all either. I'm not sure for other banks how much are the extra charges (most banks word this rather ambiguously in their T&C - lookout for the clause in your respective bank's cc T&C) they impose for overseas transactions.

I didn't like this attitude of bluffing the customers for business so when I got my card - I canceled it without activating the card at all. Those eager to apply for EON Bank credit cards beware of the so called "On-the-spot-approval".

I've never heard of such thing before actually except for the fact that some of the international online merchants refuse to accept credit cards originating from Malaysia unless a photostat copy of that CC + ID verification is produced.

Hi Guys, I had received a sms confirmation from EON Bank quoting "Yr Platinum Credit crd is approved. Collect yr free gift fr the branch upon receipt of our crd collection". Wow... it was fast! This is my first Platinum card.

Any particular reason? Our cards are not secured enough? I thought we have chip based card.

I encountered this before. I use Malaysia credit cards to make purchase at some International online merchant before, but was unsuccessful. I feel weird so I call bank and they cannot do anything.

If I'm not very mistaken, Malaysia used to be world no. 1 in credit card fraud not many years ago. Malaysia Boleh!

I think and that's why there was a transition into chip based card if I remembered correctly.

Can I pay my citibank shell visa bills using CIMB Clicks?

Yes. Standard transaction fee of RM 2.

what documents you need to apply on-the-spot ?

I think the chip-based card is rarely used in other countries, right ?

How to? I can't find Citibank in the bill payment.

It's under Fund Transfer to Other Banks.

Direct access anyone???cheers...

I got mine already. Ha! Ha!

Just photocopies of IC and Gold Credit Card with at least 2 years and with minimum credit line of RM15k

im also also hardly use my DA master PayPass...

Me too ... I keep it in the fridge.

I'm using PayPass a few times liao. I thought no signature is required? How come all merchants requested the card holder to sign the sales draft although the sales amount less than RM110??
