Cash Advance interest starts right after u get ur cash(means no free interest charge period) and they are charging you 1.5% per month.

Right on top of that, they will charge u 5% processing fee or RM50 ringgit(if i'm not wrong) withever higher...


means if u withdraw 2000 cash using ur credit card, u have to pay extra 100 processing fee + RM360 per year...

that's Along interest larr~

1. Which is better, CIMB or RHB?

2. Can i apply 2 cards (both visa n mastercard) at the same time and place, or i get to choose one only?

3. If can choose one only, which is better, visa or mastercard?

4. How long does it take for the application to be accepted/done, and when can i use the card?

5. i only work for a month now. can i use my appointment letter instead of using my payslips?

6. What documents should i bring during the application? copy of IC? Copy of bank account book? payslip/appointment letter?

Your help would be verrrry much appreciated!

Thanks guys smile.gif

1) So far I see, CIMB

2)Can we can apply both

3)U can apply both cards... benefit wise, same larr... no much different..

4)depends on bank... Maybank is a Snail and Citibank is a Cheetah.... and alliance bank is a rock...u get what i mean? brows.gif

5)Ya, u can do so... but normally they will ask for 2-3 months salary slip...

6)actually nowadays, u only need to provide ur IC, payslip.. or other credit card as reference. since u don't hav other cards, just ur IC and payslips will do the trick...

All these while, I mention about my CC application being rejected by HSBC.  doh.gif  Today I got a call from HSBC Medan Pasar telesales offering me Visa Gold without any documentation, as they refer to my PV account which is where my company banks in my monthly salary.  sweat.gif

- 5 years annual fee waiver.
- Free HSBC Limited edition Lion Pocket Watch*
  *subject to RM300 spending

I think not going to apply for it, as:
1) I'm consolidating points with MBB CC at the moment.
2) MBB 2x Amex, 5x Petronas has better TP
3) I feel MBB CC benefits/rewards are better overall.

Anyone want to convince me on HSBC CC benefits/rewards ?
e.g. sometimes Citibank CC are allowed to buy-1-free-1 Coffee Bean drinks.

Or just hold on to it since 5 years free ?  rclxub.gif
*
why do we need to convince u on HSBC CC benefit? we don't work for them... blink.gif


ahahaha... but anyway.. take it lar, since it's free for 5 years... the card comes with quite a number of benefits...
for last few years, I'm a happy customer... biggrin.gif

CIMB bank fair...

SUX!!!
Just went there... expect to apply for a Platinum Cards..
but all i see is that all the agents are chatting among themselves... none of them actually go and approach customers... walaoeh.. this type of service oso can ah..

I can't believe they can give me good service lor...

by the way, I just receive my MBB petronas visa that i applied during last TP fair @ midvalley... their speed is unexpected fast...

they gave my quite high limit **k ... but too bad it's a gold card.. so i called back and tell them that i'm not interested with gold, since all the banks has given me platinums... I will cancel the card if they dun upgrade it..

they promise me to revise my application and might give me a Plat.. their service improved! bravo! Maybank!

ps: their telephonist actually speaks English!!!!

ah... yes, you are right. It's like the deco fair @MV.

Forgot to update, there are CIMB & DA staff/agents, but just a few fellows located in the middle between Hall 1 & 5. Not aggressive. If compare to MBB TP Fair agents, I would rate just 20% of the people quantity and aggressiveness in approaching me. Similiar on the spot approval to purchase things INSIDE the CIMB fair only.

Well, initially I thought is RM38,888 , then I count got five '8'. Then I thought 388,888 points, which is consider very cheap ! Then read again, got 'RM' in front.  sweat.gif  Anyway, they place two promoter girls in front of it.  rolleyes.gif
yes, chatting only. I thought want to apply to upgrade my DA to plat or maybe apply CIMB, but only one person approach me.  doh.gif  Not aggressive at all. In the end, I didn't apply.

adoi... MBB speaks engRish since long time ago  tongue.gif  When you fill up to apply MBB Pet-plat, did you tick Plat ? Otherwise, I think they default to Gold. I tick plat, I got plat  smile.gif
*
aiya.need to tick one ah.. so stupiak one ah... who the hell want gold card larr.. shakehead.gif
now need to call and complain... wasting my phone charges.. mad.gif


CIMB really sux... all the agents just chatting to each another, just like having a picnic. NOT EVEN ONE approach me to ask me to sign up for CC..

aiyo... they really need to learn from MBB lar.. shakehead.gif

I think like MBB fair, if you plan to purchase with cash, you can get similiar or better deals outside. However, take note they are offering discounts for CIMB card holders, but how much cheaper it is, I did not really compare in detail, as I don't have anything to buy and I don't have full day to walk there.
I think non-malaysian should be able to get, but since you don't have income tax return or any proof of income, I don't think bank will give you one. The other way is to deposit 100k-300k and get complimentary CC.
Just tried login Citibank. No problem. Now paying bills  sweat.gif

Wow, I'm better. One approach me. A youngster (around 20-25 years old) left within <10 sec. Not sales trained or maybe just a part-time college fellow  doh.gif

I think i will have to go back and wander around... if they really 'refused' to approach me, i will wipe CIMB off my collection list. vmad.gif

ya lar.....no free cc.. but after surveying the nearest to no annual fee is citibank choice, but with minimum 2 swipes each month... i just need the card in case of  i need to travel oversea.... maybe i just need to swipe 2 times each month for regular purchase such as starbucks or fill up petrol for my motocycle to avoid beeing charged rm5...  tongue.gif

actually there are free CCs around la...

-all u have to do is.. use their CC(3-4 times a month)
-maintain 0 balance in ur CC account..
-and after they bill u u annual fee, just call and screw them.. asking them why other banks can offer u free but they can't? if they refuse to waive then just cancel the card lar...

@Reventon,
Yes I believe the Amex Platinum Credit Card has the same T&C with Visa & MasterCard when it comes to late payment and interest free period.  In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I think Amex gives U more time to settle ur bill; I received my statement about 2 weeks ago and I have till 23rd before I need to make the payment.

As this is my 1st bill, I'm unable to track if this is a norm.

I haven't used the Prestige Platinum Card but am quite sure it's as good as it seems to be.  I've oredi received my Prestige Platinum Card - it also comes with some exclusive 'discount' vouchers.  I don't think there'll be any problems using the dining privileges and it's definitely well worth the $ if u frequent Shangri-La's F&B outlets!

I don't exactly know if my annual fee's been waived as I originally applied for the Amex Gold (with 2 years waiver) since CS told me I didn't qualify for the Platinum - but that's what came in the mail biggrin.gif  I would expect annual fees to be billed in my 1st bill but I didn't get charged anything *shrugs*  Am still keeping fingers and toes crossed I won't be charged any annual fees; I've used the RM800 to purchase something else *grins*

@muscaa,
Like I said, the SCB Infinite is NOT meant for those who're after retail promotions; it's got a different target all together.  As such, it has other benefits; Priority Pass is probably one of them for those who travel frequently.  Perhaps U don't understand the behaviour of those in their target market hence think it's stupid?
*
actually, for AMEX, as long as u pay right b4 the next statement being issued... then no late charges will be occurred...

Currently I'm charging everything into my Amex CCP... I want the Longines watch.. checked already.. it worth 2300 leh... brows.gif



@Tinky

MBB, Citibank & RHB(this one maybe on its way)
