Weird.. but I didn't get anything like that *siGh*

@hye,
Looks like you're the tai kor around here now?!

@Norn,
No it's not exactly difficult to get an American Express Credit or Charge card.

@vin_ann,

RHB Bank Visa Infinite has been around for quite a while but it doesn't seem to be popular even among millionaires.


I wondered if we can request for the Standard Chartered Bank Visa Infinite when we become their "Priority Banking" customers. They are giving out complimentary Platinum Visa or Platinum Mastercard once you become their "Priority Banking" customers but Standard Chartered Bank Platinum Visa/Mastercard have very low annual gross income requirement to qualify for it (just RM60,000/pa) which make it so substandard compared to other banks' Platinum credit cards.

Anyways, more banks might introduce Visa Infinite/Visa Signature/World Mastercard/World Mastercard Elite in the next few years as Platinum Visa/Mastercard get more common in Malaysia and also to tap the VVIP market.


It is not exactly like Isetan or Metrojaya because things at TANGS are so much more expensive.

@MilesAndMore,
When U become a Priority Banker with Standard Chartered, they give u a Platinum Mastercard, not Visa. You can't even request for the Visa so I'm quite sure we wouldn't be able to get the Visa Infinite.

PS: I was a Standard Chartered Priority Banker until about 2 weeks ago.

Oh, i was told we can choose between Mastercard or Visa. I guess she was wrong then. Anyway, she is not a Priority Banking RM, so she probably doesn't know much about it. But i wonder if our savings/investment with the Standard Chartered Bank is way more than the minimum limit, will we be able to get the Visa Infinite for free. I'm gonna ask them one day. Thanks for the info, tinkerbel.

@MilesAndMore,
Whilst there's probably no maximum limit, I'm quite sure Standard Chartered won't give u the Visa Infinite Perhaps if U've been banking with them for ages and have always maintained v high amounts in their banks? *shrugs*

No lah .... got lots more senior guys here with more knowledge than me. I'm just a small fry only.
N @tinkerbel is one of the senior tai kar jie as well. I will always reserve the seat for you guys.

more expensive = more quality.

hmmm can consider abit.

i got the same SMS too... I checked with their CS immediately to find out which outlet is applicable for this as they did not state it in the SMS...

CS told that all outlets are applicable for this promotion....

The irony part, when I asked if my fren owned a CTB CC but did not receive the SMS, can they still enjoy the discount if they choose to charge into their own CTB CC, and they said YES. So what the hell? what's so special about this CLOSED DOOR EVENT anyway? and why must bring 3 friends only... as it seems that everyone can just walk-in to the store...

thanks for the tips

what about the allianze isetan card? any user comment?

how come i didnt get the sms also.. i register online di for announcements.. anyways wat cc u're holding? mine clear card.. maybe applicable to certain cc? or long term customers?

how much is the CL for cimb classic mastercard

cb man.. i jus got charged rm5 for requesting a paper statement frm CTB.. thy didnt even state thy would charge a fee.. naturally notin comes free rule.. but i hvnt received any paper statement for sept.. hence i thought i need to manually request.. which the CS said would b on the 26th onwards..

called CS to waived it.. problem now is.. where is my missing paper statement..

What does the CS say when you complained? Will they guarantee for statement delievery for the coming months?

cause its the first time i am supposed to receive the statement. and it didnt come. so naturally its not my fault to request for one.. without the price stated on their site.. she said will be waived. i hv her name so hopefully will be.. the next 3 working days or the next statement. she said if i still dont received it.. call thm to ask rather thn requst online.

i jus wanna know if my statement is issued in the first place to the correct address.. so the extra statement i requested will be my benchmark..

funny thing is whn i check my online account status.. it shows these

UNBILLED TRANSACTIONS ..... so meaning i didnt get my statement!?

You could ask the CS to read out the mailing address of your statement. You should demand for explaination.

i did.. the address is correct..

UNBILLED TRANSACTIONS ..... so meaning i didnt get my statement!?

unbilled transactions meaning not yet billed, these transactions will normally reflect in your next month's statement after the billing cycle or cutoff date...
