Why don't apply a card from any Singaporean bank?

Using locally issued card will impose charges on the foreign exchange right?

However, muslim flight attendants of Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways don't seem to have a problem serving passengers alcoholic drinks at all. Have experienced myself while flying with them all the time.

I called Maybank CS yesterday to inquire for my MBB Ikhwan AMEX application. Apparently, my application couldn't proceed since I didn't sign the declaration section. There're two declaration sections in the form and I signed only on the Akad declaration. Faxed them a signed form and hope they could process fast enough. Not sure why they didn't call me about this.

There are a lot of people hving premarital sex these days. That doesnt make it right

What ? Got two sections need to sign ? Have to check with them then 'cause i too might have skipped that accidentally.

Yeap. I also have the same thought as you since I have existing cards with them.

There're two sections that you need to ink according to the CS or processing department.

1. Declaration
2. Akad Declaration

Any distinct features seperate the new islamic amex card and the maybank amex card?

cannot yam cheng???

If I'm not mistaken, the transactions made with the islamic amex card must be halal (legal from Shahriah point of view).

i already collected all the credit card from all the consumers bank in sg already... more than 10 banks card i have now..

ya i want to apply malaysia one becos there is no extra charges when use it in malaysia mah... ya lost in forex is one of the reason....

The Al-Ikhwan card will it have any Treat Points? Can it be merged with the current TP from Maybank as well? What happens if I accidentally swiped at the non-halal place? Will it get barred or rejected?

Ikhwan cards have TP too. AMEX: RM 1 = 2 TP and Visa/Mastercard: RM 1 = RM 1 TP.

All TP for MBB products (saving/current, ATM, multple credit cards) are structured independently and they're not merged together.

Let's say when I want to redeem the points, can I merge them together?

Ps: How do they know we swiped at non-halal places?

I believe you can merge them during redemption if you have insuffient points on one card.

I think it'd be extremely hard. I really don't think they will request a receipt from the hypermarket we swiped the Ikhwan credit card just to see if we have purchased anything non-halal using the Ikhwan credit card.

I believe it's based on trust and ethics.

Sometimes will tend to forget though.. haha I applied mine today. Not sure when will get approval.

Random check perhaps.

If they found you done something non-halal, your car will be barred immediately.

what the hell, how come credit card thread has become religion thread liao...

Juz wondering...

For MBB classic cc.. Normal credit limit is like 5k rite?
