@kapitan,
It goes to show how competitive it has become. Anyhow, my sister prefers the OCBC Titanium to their Platinum anytime

@ed0gawa,
I'm sure U can get the information on their website? Anyhow the gist of it is:-

Hong Leong Club Rewards - The more you spend, the more the rewards
Complimentary Supplementary Card, for life

Luxury vacations at the world's best hotels
Comprehensive Travel Protection of up to RM2,000,000

Enjoy preferential Forex rates

Platinum Lifestyle Privileges
Assistance anytime you need it
Health Screening Privileges

@ed0gawa,
Promotion changes so I suppose they don't put it on their website. There's also a 'more' column for U to click on so what about checking it out there; I didn't bother to do that.

@htkaki,
OCBC Titanium can be applied, not their Platinum; which remains exclusive.

@Aeon_Clock,
I apparently been told U can't have 2 same kind of cards from the same bank. For example, if ur holding a Classic Visa/MasterCard Card and then U apply for a Gold Visa/MasterCard, the Gold Visa/MasterCard will supercede the Classic Visa/MasterCard.

I didn't know about this rule till I had issues with my Citibank cards.

@kapitan,
If Ur holding 2 Visa/MasterCards and one of them is a 'co-' card ie Citibank Shell/Citibank AirAsia, U can hold 2 of the same cards; Visa/MasterCard.

However, if Ur holding just the usual Visa/MasterCard, U can onli hold 1 card.

@yewkhuay,
And that is exactly Y I wanted to shift my monthly spending to MBB CCs. Alas, I don't have one !

@yewkhuay,
I oredi did, TWICE but no one seemed interested in wanting to serve me so..... *bugger*

@David83,
They've oredi lost me as a customer

@6@9,
Put RM200k in FD and get them to issue u a Complementary Card

@htkaki,
Am sure he knows better since he's one of the Privileged ones around here

@Aeon_Clock,
Those are known as co-op cards [or something like that] so U can actually get the Sony MBB & Petronas MBB - there's no conflict.

@yewkhuay,
I'm not about to shift my funds from HSBC to MBB. I don't see a reason to do so.

@David83,
Ah.. that's right.. Co-branding cards... Well, U can hold 2 Visas if they're co-branded

@TeraPox,
Without us there's no them, really!

@TeraPox,
On the contrary, I have had pretty good feedback about their CS on Credit Card matters.

@wvt,
I believe U can use the BonusLink card with the Citibank Shell CC and get rewarded on both sides; they're 2 separate programmes

@TeraPox,
It's what I call, SOP And with ur track record, U probably have had CC issued by all, if not most of our banks

@SKY 1809,
I really wonder if their definition of good paymaster is the same as that of ours?!

@SKY 1809,
I wasn't referring to the CRRIS report. Good paymaster in my book means U pay promptly and in full each month. To the banks, as long as U pay promptly and the amount paid meets the minimum balance, they're fine

Whichever the case, I consider myself a good paymaster

I never said MBB was a good bank. Nor have I ever said they're a lousy one.

@TeraPox,
It is most unfortunate MBB Amex has lost me as a customer. I've decided to use my DA MasterCard for petrol purchases from now on

Added on June 23, 2008, 11:44 amI just logged onto Citibank Online to get my bills paid and I see this on my current bill statement:

19-06 CASH RATE 2 = 18.0000 RM 0.00

19-06 CASH RATE 3 = 18.0000 RM 0.00

19-06 RETAIL RATE 2 = 17.0000 RM 0.00

19-06 RETAIL RATE 3 = 17.0000 RM 0.00

19-06 RETAIL INTEREST RATE = 17.0000 RM 0.00

Can someone tell me what that's for?! Yes it's not affecting me since it's RM0.00

@TeraPox,
I'm not worried since it's RM0.00 *grins* Just that it makes the statement longer onli mah! *grins*

@TeraPox,
The finance charges are for outstanding payment not made. I never had that problem but apparently there was an issue with that last month. When I checked with them what it was about they told me it's because I paid RM3500 last month when my bill was RM3600.

I told her how was I suppose to know my bill's RM3600 when the bill I received showed RM3500. I asked for a waiver and got it

I then found out later it was my secretary who made the calculation error *shy* but obviously I didn't let the bank know of that! *grins*

@TeraPox,
Yes it's possible it was RM80 or something that was left out in ur payment hence the finance charges. Like I said, I only had this problem once in the last 8 years I'd been with Citibank.

DA on the other hand is problematic when it comes to such; they're ocassionally banking my cheque in late and I always have to call them for the waiver *ish*

@SKY 1809,
I don't make too much use of my cheque so decided to clear them off through issuing cheques *grins*

@TeraPox,
I don't work for the banks so I can't help U. If U want to know, the next time it happens, just give them a call and ask them. Since Ur using Platinum Cards, U should have access to their Platinum Priority Line - I assume it's a shorter wait on that line *shrugs* - I never used mine before so I wouldn't know the difference between their usual line and their Platinum Priority Line.

@TeraPox,
Good enough if U asked me but if it's Platinum that U want, U could alwiz make a request if the bank doesn't give it to u automatically
