QUOTE(wirelessdude @ Oct 10 2008, 12:27 AM) You know what's so funny? While I can get a CL like that from HSBC, Citibank rejected my application for a basic AirAsia card outright just because I'm a freelancer - 2 total extremes!  Put it this way, if you open a CitiGold a/c with Citibank they will also give you free cc as well. Any banks would for that matter

QUOTE(wirelessdude @ Oct 9 2008, 06:30 PM) Monthly usage averaged RM8k and I pay in full every month. Added on October 9, 2008, 6:34 pmIt's not all in FD but a combination of FD, unit trust and foreign currency. Well, most of the time it's just for ego because I don't see myself spending RM40k in a month.  so in total you have 200k being hold by HSBC? no wonder HSBC dare to give u high limit

It doesn't make sense if you asked me.

Like I say, go and open up a Citi Gold a/c and they will give you your choice of cards  But fyi its not how much you can spend per month that determines your income, and banks does have its policies and such. That's the breaks This post has been edited by tgeoklin: Oct 10 2008, 07:15 PM

Yeah in logic terms, freelance even earn more than a normal permanent position, however to some banks they list that as high risk not too sure why I guess due to freelance no fixed income and people doing events normally beforehand they'll owe here and there until they finish everything and of course the income is big, however bank dowan to take this risk I guess, if client to pay back the event and so on .. Yeah AA card is just a very low grade one, normally easily approved but my friend in event line not freelance, she's hired by a company, position is marketing but under event, citibank reject, as I know her salary is fixed

the thing about credit card approval is very funny. But from what I know, they have this software that calculates eligibility. If what they key in is OK, then they will approve/reject depending on the risk level.
