haha all copy Citibank.

About credit card, do you guys realize that it is actually a form of loan?
Ever wonder why some banks don't simply give higher limit?

CC is given based on the bank's decision. Sometimes, the bank rejecting you is a good thing.

of all the credit cards, I choose Citibank for international and Public for local.

Citibank promotions rock and their service isn't bad too. Everything is through the phone

Well, they can go ahead and blacklist me. I have nothing to lose with them and I think they have nothing to lose without me as well.  wink.gif

I don't like to call Citibank to waive annual fees. I repeat, I don't beg Citibank, in fact I cancelled their cards several times when they refused to waive the fees, yet they re-offer back to me after 6-12 mths. Then cancel again after 1-2 yrs... then offer back.  doh.gif

Why do I need them to clear my name ??? For what reason ??? so I can beg and apply their card again ? Now I get fedup and just keep the card as spare. In fact, they send me a Shell Citibank CC and call me up to activate it... I told them no thanks and cut the card.

Things I don't like about Citibank CC:
1) Limited branches to pay in KL
2) Cannot pay online like Maybank2u (obviously I'm just a small chick-pea that doesn't warrant a savings/current a/c in Citibank)
3) Amex is offering 2x points forever. The rest 1x only, except promotion period or rebate.
4) International recognition ? BAH!... So far I did not encounter any problem using MBB outside M'sia.

I don't have problem using MBB Amex in Asia and Europe. I'm not here to champion MBB or Amex, but I think it is personal preference on which card suits a person lifestyle better.

you don't have to beg la. Just say can I waive my annual fees and what is the condition. You make it sound so petty. Also, ALL BANKS have ANNUAL FEE only certain card types that they offer. It is the BNM policy for them to charge ANNUAL FEE. In Western countries or other countries MUCH HIGHER!

laugh.gif  Yes, you are right, and outside M'sia/S'pore, the annual fees are higher/non-waivable.. The problem now is, I don't like to remind myself every year to call them up and waive it.  tongue.gif

just wait for it to show in the statement la then they will credit back the money into your A/C. You know in SG, Citibank there damn tough to waive Annual fee. The possibility is like damn LOW

That's the problem. I don't have a sexretary. I got other things to think/worry than looking at my statement and...
"oh boy... [self-censored-unprintable-words]... need to call them up again. Have to wait 2-20 minutes and punch the phone for respective menus before talking to a human, verify, put in request, bla bla bla... cannot waive, talk to supervisor/manager, bla bla..." nevermind, cancel it. No need waive. Thank you.
Without calling them up, is it possible to have auto-waiver ? Maybe not me...  tongue.gif

By system logic, not possible lor. Why?

Malaysia got so many customers, its hard to keep track of how many annual fees have been charged. That is why, still need human to monitor to waive off. Also, if you want to talk to Citibank, just press 1 then 0 then click LOST REPORT CARD.

Sure masuk.

AMBank customer service MUCH WORSE and LONGER. Oh my gosh, halfway can get disconnected one
