lol, i applied credit card from:

Citibank - Rejected
Maybank - through online, forget to send the supporting document - rejected

CIMB - in process ( Mastercard , now got promotion, no need annual fee for life! )
UOB - in process ( donno what card ad.. visa gua )

I just receive my card via mail... is there any time limit that I need to activate my card?

why citibank reject ? any idea ?

i think you play uob ONE platinum because now they only promote that card ..

we will have many many thousand young people in Malaysia have platinum card very soon.. now not only people drive benz can enjoy plat card offer, young people drive kancil also can enjoy plat card treatment .. maybe same class but different treatment from human

Depend on which bank, some doesnt need activation (eg Maybank, Citibank)

Others usually 1-3months, some will call u to activate and might even offer u some preloaded amount.

What do you mean by preloaded amount?

Got this kind of stuff? How come i never get any?

I would recommend HSBC Mastercard. Good customer service. You can enjoy many privileges with HSBC credit card, from shopping to dinning. The validity of the reward points is 3 years. Wider range of gift redemption, special point knockdown on certain items from time to time.

Maybank Mastercard is not bad too, but sometime customer careline very hard to get through. Point wise, so far I find CIMB and Maybank are having the widest range of gift redemption. Maybank also have many on-the-spot redemption center such as SenQ, etc. Best of all, Maybank treatpoints are never expires. Furthermore, the point mark-up is not too high. It is the best in the market.

Although CIMB has many choices for the gift redemption, but the points only valid for one year.

anyone here have apply Maybank Petronas Card? How long you all wait for the processing? if they wish to reject this application, the bank will inform us?

What card u using?
My boss got it for her Robinson Platinum card, RM50 for her if she activate it lol

I'm not sure about the Maybank Petronas cc. But last year I applied for Maybank Visa Gold, it takes a month for processing from the day you submit the application form. Almost every bank will send out the letter to the customer should the card gets approved or declined.

tq for your answer....i tough they already reject my apply.

I got my Maybank Petronas in less than 2 weeks, about 10 days or so only.

Better you call up their Customer Service and check for your application status. Better yet, look into your Maybank2u, if it appears in the Account Summary, your card should have been approved.

in order for the card details to appear in ur existing m2u account page, it needs to be merged, the last time i diii it, must go over the counter tell them to merge it ...

Nowadays, the card details is usually available in M2U. I didn't go to the counter/branch to make the card details available unless you change your saving/current or M2U account (I guess).

50,000 platinum cards target by Amex

PETALING JAYA: American Express (Amex), which jointly launched its platinum credit card with Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) yesterday, expects to issue 50,000 of the premium card this year.

Head of global network services (Japan, Asia Pacific and Australia) Kula Kulendran said the 50,000 cards, which represented 20% of Amex's existing subscriber base of 200,000, was a realistic target.

"Malaysia is a sizeable market for American Express in South-East Asia. We have confidence in this (Malaysian) market," Kula told a press conference before the card launch yesterday.

He also said Amex had targeted to add 100,000 cards in other categories apart from the 50,000 platinum cards. "We have a large customer base to tap on."

Maybank, which took over Amex's charge card and merchant acquiring business in Malaysia last August, expects the new product to boost its consumer banking business.

"This new card is recognition of the growing affluence of Malaysians," said Maybank acting chief executive officer Datuk Aminuddin Md Desa.

Maybank is the country's biggest issuer of credit, debit and charge cards, and merchant acquirer.

The banking group currently has 1.5 million credit card holders and more than 50,000 merchants accepting debit, credit and charge card payments.

"Consumer spending is still relatively good. We anticipate a 20% year-on-year growth on our credit card billing for the financial year ending June 30, " said head of card business, B. Ravintharan.

I second HSBC customer service quality. Good, polite and very helpful - if the CS is a lady, they sound like they are smiling when they are talking to you over the phone and the guys sounds like Patrick Teoh. (Well ... at least from my experience )

My Maybank Petronas cc took more than 1 month to approve. Letter haven't arrived yet but I saw the card appeared in my M2U.

Nah, just give them a call. But, for Maybank card, it's already activated and can be used straightaway.

Not sure which form you're talking about, I didn't submit any.

wow so fast...i'm just submit my application two weeks ago..
i hope my application approve as soon as possible..
