It means prompt repayment of debt for 12 out of total of 12 months...

Anyway what is finance fees? Does that mean prompt payers will be charged 1.25% as well? How about those free for life CCs?

Shinichi, those are the rate for the new ruling from BNM.

Those rates are in monthly basis whereas the new ruling advertise the rates as in annual basis:

Prompt repayment of 12/12 months 1.25% ---> 15% p.a

Prompt repayment of 10/12 months 1.42% ---> 17% p.a

Prompt repayment of less than 10/12 months 1.50% ---> 18% p.a

If you read back previous posts, you'll understand what < 10/12, 10/12 and 12/12 months mean.

Hi David, based on some feedbacks from previous posts, the new ruling has no effect on those prompt payers, but is prompt and full payment of debts =
Prompt repayment of 12/12 months?? Still could not 100% grasp the new BNM ruling yet... rclxub.gif

Shinchi, the new ruling from BNM is very confusing indeed and I still couldn't fully comprehend it.

Guess, I don't care it much since I won't be paying late.

Perhaps you can read this page from Citibank to know more, it has an example as well:

You can cancel them. Give a call to the Maybank CS.

I called up the CS and they said they are having some sort of promotion where they will issue 3 cards as "a set" but sharing the same CL. They asked me to cancel any cards which I do not want when the cards are ready for collection.. So troublesome  sweat.gif
*
So you received one Mastercard, one Visa and one AMEX?

Maybank is biased toward Visa rather than Mastercard (personally think so).

Yes.. I got those cards.. Now trying to figure out which one is the best and will cancel the the "extra" card(s)

I suggest to keep Amex. It offers you 2x Treat Points for each RM 1 you swiped. It also gives your points when your pump petrol of any brand.

Because not all the banks offer Amex beside HLB.

Does that apply to all transactions or certain transactions like petrol? Do I need to apply for the 2x treat points?
*
No need to apply. TP is from MBB not AMEX.

Any transaction will give your 2x points for every RM 1 swipe.

Besides that, it also gives points for petrol transactions; not like classic Visa and Mastercard where no points awarded.

@tinkerbel: You mean I can enroll in AMEX Membership Rewards point program as well for RM25 [Non-Traveller] using this Maybank Amex credit card? Will it replace the current Treat Point system from MBB?
*
It won't replace but I believe it'll run concurrently. MBB TP has no relationship with AMEX Membership Rewards.

I just checked online and can see the 2% rebate off my petrol purchase.

For DA, does anyone know how the points are calculated? Is RM1 = 1 point?
*
RM 1 = 1 points. No points are awarded for petrol purchases.

I need some help. I have MBB (limit RM 4000) and HSBC(limit RM 7000) credit card. I want to terminate one but I don't klnow which one. MBB should be easier because I always use maybank2u.com but for HSBC card, I have my insurance and investment pay monthly. I don't know what to do. Please help me! Thanks
*
If you want to keep MBB, before terminating, you should change your Auto Debit to be attached to your MBB CC first. After that, your headache will be lesser.

That's why I hate to carry this discount card, that membership card in the wallet. It just makes the wallet thick.

Then how ever did you manage to accumulate 187k points? It would have taken 5-6 years!

Maybe he's a big spender.

AMEX offers 2x points. Certain merchant offers 2x points too.

Sometime, MBB offers 3x or 5x points on certain promo.

Hi, I have a supplementary MBB flex visa wave but i've never used the visa wave function. Is it all machine that supports wave function i can use the visa wave? like starbucks they are using CIMB's machine with wave function, so can i use at there?
*
CIMB machine is Paypass terminal.

MBB Flex uses Visa Wave terminal.

Not compatible to each other.

DA 2% deal is only for Mastercard. It's not entitled for Visa.
