@David83,
I don't think ALL withheld or private numbers are fraud numbers; sometimes the bank might have subscribed to some sort of services which blocks their number - cause they don't want U to call back that number *shrugs*

I didn't really say they're fraud calls. So far, I know that calls from MBB are usually in that form.

@David83,

I get these type of calls very often. Always they will say that they are calling from VISA / Mastercard card centre or anything similar like that and they say that they wish to verify my existing credit card. IMHO -

- If they are your bank, they would know your card details. More likely they would ask to confirm your personal particulars instead of your credit card numbers / expiry date or worst still CVV.
- They would not hesitate / drop the line if you challenge them that you want to go to the nearest branch / which branch they are calling from.
- They would identify themselves as from the bank that you have your credit card with instead of VISA / Mastercard card centre / International.

David83 is right ... sometimes the bank will call from an Unknown number or the number would not display the actual number (just the main contact number and not the caller's personal number). No problem but a REAL bank would not sound so fishy when it comes to asking your personal information.

Best to educate card holders / readers of this forum as not to fall prey to such scams.

its annoying when they try to promote their credit transfer/personal loan/credit card/insurance etc always say no to them

@hye,
I onli get calls asking me to verify if I made a purchase on when and where Good riddance I don't get all these spam calls U people are getting; it'll be most annoying esp if I'm in a meeting when those calls come in *grins*

Btw the Bonus Points reflected in the statement is from the 2x Reward Points campaign MasterCard & Visa was having which I subscribed too *grins* WooHoOoo forgot all about it - ah well, I was hoping to watch the Opening of the Olympics in Beijing *siGh*

the citibank rewards point is not good as compared to last year catalogue
from what i observe, maybank and CIMB got the best deal for rewards point redemptions

@muscaa,
Y do U think I decided to make the move to MBB Amex? *grins* The onli problem is that I'm unable to PAY utility bills through my Amex card [unless it's through direct debit and I'm not comfortable with that] and thus far, 2 merchants have rejected the card *siGh*

Last time i used to be very concerned with the reward points. But nowaday i prefer direct discount eg. UOB cc with Carrefour discount/petrol rebate, DA cc with petrol rebate/restaurant discount. Points is sometimes misleading.

But you can try amex la. Tell us later how good it is.

@muscaa,
I don't use a particular merchant often enough to find sufficient incentive for me to change CC *grins*

Admittedly, I did sign up for a HSBC CC because they had pretty good discounts at F&B joints *grins*

As to Amex - other than it being not too well accepted (I think) there's definitely NO problems; they should increase their Platinum merchants though

Miss tinky...
I found a great deal for citibank cc holders... Danti Hill,pavillion. 50% on total bill!!!!
go try go try...

helo all,

yesterday i faxed my UOB cancellation form for my UOB ugly Master card and just now i received call from UOB CC.

he saying that, UOB ONE Platinum card Visa and Mastercard together only can enjoy so call "FREE FOR LIFE" (FLF) by swipe 6 times each year.

if i cancel Master Card, meaning i can not enjoy FLF for my One Platinium Visa... Sigh... i feel like so pity on myself... suddenly pop up this kind of hidden rules...

now he going to resend me a new Vox Master Card. Sigh....

i thinks i will start use DA, and stop using One Plat.

coming soon will cancel both of my cards together... then they cant said anything more...

VOX design okie lar.. not so ugly..right?

Why you want to cancel it first?

@TeraPox,
Danti Hill?! Er.. makan apa punya?! Thanks for sharing the deal but what about buying me dinner there instead? *grins*

buying a girl dinner is always..my.... pleasure....

@TeraPox,
So what does Danti Hill serve? And when's the dinner date? *grins*

Also, please make sure I ain't gonna get into trouble with the rest of ur other girls - I don't want them to get the wrong ideas; have had my fair share of women stalkers!

my Master card which is come with my One Plat is not VOX... but it's the plain ugly colour card.



@David
after swipe 6 times, i din use the card anymore. so want to cancel lol...

anyways, im going to try with DA visa, and OCBC master card. see how...

@vin_ann,
Eh.. want to cut the card don't lah just card the side like that - make sure U destroy the EMS chip & the 'black coded stuff' at the back *grins*

@tinkerbel

but im already faxed my cancellation form to them. so this card shd be in-actived already. im planning to send this card back to UOB CC centre 1, whose know they called up.

anyways, 1st time cut CC. i believe soon going to be more. haha
