@jep,
You should be able to cancel it but I'm not sure if there is a 'lock-in' period. Also, check if U'll haf to pay even if ur outstanding balance on the CC is RM0.00.

I never bother with all these insurance or calls from the bank; AFAIK I alwiz tell them I'm not interested

@slackware07,
It was probably a fraudster trying his luck.

@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*

@David83,
Oh! So that's what U were trying to tell us *grins* Eh anYone has Citibank Platinum Priority Line Call Center Number?!

--Added--
Found it on the other Credit Card Thread *grins* It's a good thing I remember having posted the number before *grins* - 03-2383 1010

@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*

@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*

@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

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

@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!

@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*

@vin_ann,
If ur gonna be sending the card back to UOB, just make sure U destroy the chip first - U wouldn't know how long it'll take the bank to de-activate the card. These are chances U don't want to take.

@vin_ann,
I doubt I'm gonna be LUCKY enough to win that *frowns* I did however send in the SMS today [was writing my cheques to make payment ma] just for the 2x reward points.

The catch however is the need to swipe min 8x p/month; the min RM50 isn't an issue *grins*

@zenquix,
Yes I'm beginning to utilise my DA MasterCard; but for petrol purchases onli *grins*

@whoopa,
Y do U want a Gold card?! It really makes no difference lah; a card is a card is a card. Anyhow, just stick with ur existing bank; they'll definitely be sending u upgrades.

@TeraPox,
Not U come pick me, then send me home ah?! If not good then don't want to go lah - can still go to Oriental mah.. if it's just the both of us, still considered 50% discount. Alternatively, we can go to Shangri-la - haven't U received ur Amex Plat yet?

@vin_ann,
I thought U mentioned UOB wanted the card re-sent back to them otherwise a surcharge of RM15?!

@vin_ann,
Oohh.. so it's like an upgrade?! *sorrEee I wasn't paying too much attention* Anyhow, just becareful cause sometimes it doesn't get de-activated immediately.

Just to share with U - when Citibank 'cancelled' my old Visa and issued me with another, the old Visa was still usable [and thankfully it was - if the merchant had rejected the card, I would have been super pissed with Citibank - they cancelled the card without even letting me know about it; imagine how confused I was until I figured out what happened - their CS was more confused than me!]

Apparently the old Visa would still be usable for the next 3 months - or so they say!

@David83,
HmMm.... it's like 20+ pages *faints* Looks like quite a lot of stuff and I'm onli loading Page 2 !! *grins*

Too bad it's not happening this week - am @ Garden's tomorrow for tea *siGh*

@TeraPox,
muAHahAHha.... But I live v far away wor! You might want to check with MBB to see if they even received your application - a friend's application was misplaced *gulp*

@Underhill,
hMm.... perhaps the fax wasn't received?! Or it was faxed out of office hours? *shrugs* Just be patient; but if U don't hear from them, refax the document to them on Mon and call them up

@Underhill,
hMm... that's about 3 weeks time; should be oK if the bank processes it immediately
