im blur blur reading ur post.
bro, at the 1st place, why u wan go for auto-debit facilities?

people go for auto-debit facilities mostly is for the auto payment of various bills at various due date. people who see it's good only will go subscribe it. if u see bad, why to make urself in the trouble.

i really got enjoy 1 good year of auto-debit for my bills. just every month pay my credit card on time. never worry anything else.

discontinue? how u subscript then same way but reverse way u un-subscript the auto-debit lol...  whistling.gif 
it's advisable u go to directly Headquater of the Bank.
Citibank HQ is at jln sultan ahmad shah nearby the New Straits time there. 
HSBC is the "bank street" nearby esplane lo...
OCBC there as well...

so the best way, u go to each bank above n ask the customer service, How fast u can give me ur credit card, i need it urgently. then on ur side u also need to provide sufficient document payslips 3 months and IC.

so good luck on ur survey...!
*
Any bank you recomend?? I planning to apply CIMB Petronas Mastercard~

Any other good card?? I saw u all write DA/Direct Access.. does this good??

since u urgent wan ur card, any card which able to meet ur requirement is good bank for u, at least short term.

DA = Free for Life. 2% cash rebate for fuel.

oh yeah, if u dun wan to cross sea, u can try the Standard chartered nearby jetty there, n HSBC branch nearby there as well...

CIMB petronas also ok lo... free for life as well...

Yes, u right. Direct Access is the credit card brand name of Southen bank, it's being acquired by CIMB.

DA is mostly targeting professional or those with degree graduates while CIMB is any1 can apply.
*
ya, i am a degree holder which current work in a MNC, so it mean i can apply DA??

coz i did not see DA there only CIMB Classic / CIMB Pertronas ...

Did DA same as above eighter one??

or DA = CIMB Pertronas coz CIMB protronas had 2% on fuel petronas / 0.5% on other feul station only

BTW i need to use on the Travel later to Japan,soon does CIMB currency will charge anything??

haha, please make sure you have enough cash, i just got back from japan and it was so tough because i planned to withdraw money from atm directly. they dont support plus, maestro, visa, mastercard.

look for citibank / hsbc, they are your only chance to withdraw money.
Ya, i been told CIMB is local bank so sometime will having dificulity to use there~

So i also apply UOB, DC and Standard Chartard...

Hope this had no problem to use in Japan

8. International Transactions
Mastercard and Visa charges a surcharge on top of the exchange rate. The banks also choose to charge an additional administration charge on top of that

Maybank: 0.5% -->verified by Hye

CIMB/DA: None

Hong Leong: 1%

PBB: No Info

Citibank: 1% --> verified by tinkerbel

HSBC: 1% --> HSBC will also charge a Misc fee; bank isn't able to provide details on what that is but according to CS whom I spoke with, there's a small misc fee. (contribution by Tinkerbel)

EON: 2%

UOB: NIL

Standard Chartered: 1%

AMEX card: 1.5% charge + 0.5% (provided by Hye)
: an additional 2.5% (provided by tinkerbel)


Does this mean, when we shopping in other country, Master/Visa sure will charges a surcharge on top of the exchange rate.

And the bank in depend on what card we holding?? like DA only had Master surcharge but without bank charge.

If ya, how much does Visa/Master charge? flex.gif

If I'm not mistaken, unactivated cards will be automatically cancelled after 6 months. However, I suggest you make that call to the bank (they may even request you to write in depending on the bank) and cancel that card - get a good night sleep knowing you have cancelled that card properly. On some occasions, they will ask you to reconsider your decision but it is entirely up to you.

Bro ... U r acccesing the thread from Tokyo ? Cool !

haha u still rmb i going tokyo?

Really thk for all the help so far...

Last week i apply DA, they told me must had cert! but due to some problem i said i unable pass the cert 1st. so i give them my payslip and offer letter..

I scare DA fail so i apply petronas mastercard too....

The next tuesday they call me said my card is pass and on the way to me ~(I been told the card arrive my home on thurday but no one at home so it pass back to pos office, i call them they said will resend to my company this week)

On the same friday, they call me again said my petronas mastercard also approve~ @@ i direct said dont want ady...

So i think if u provide enought thing to CIMB the cert really doesn't concern.

Somemore they process really fast !! thumbs up for CIMB this time!!

For MBB i also apply, later i wanna call them said don need process le.. 2 week plus no even call me, need me call them n said in progessing , due slow. somemore my salary is direct go MBB why need so many document.. really dissapointed with MBB.

BTW, Hong Leong, UOB, n Standard Charted all had call me in one week time. HL i get ady, UOB on the way too. SC still in progress but i wanna cancel HL n SC liao~

Hi! I am new here.
I would like to share my experience here too.
I was once a heavy credit card user, until it burdens me with the debts that I was so stressful even paying the minimum amt required every month.
I have got 4 cards, namely MBB, AmBank, Eon and RHB. Total credit limits ~ RM32K and total outstanding balance ~ RM26K.
Every month, waiting for salary, get prepared to cover the minimum payment, like no ending stories.....
Until one day, I discovered these "Credit Card Restructure Plans", which can actually restructure and consolidate my credit card debt accounts to an easy payment plans with very much lower interests of 6.3% p.a. (compared to 18% p.a., which mean I am saving total interest of 11.7% p.a.)
.......................

Look more like telling story and now promoting ur sales here hmm.gif

Good story but never ever get so mana CC, i had apply 5~7, get approve 5 of them~ 4 of them cut at the same day i get. rclxm9.gif

Only left one DA with me~ wink.gif

i've received their statement BUT i'm still yet to receive the card! the statement is sent via normal mail while the card is sent via pos laju. normal mail is actually faster than poslaju  doh.gif

looks like their std answer is in progress/processing. i called them up several times & the CSO always tell me is still processign. one day, i've decided to write in to complain, finally someone replied. she told me my applicaiton was pending as i my Ic copy is unclear & i forgotten to provide them my relative's contact. i got so fed up! the call center told me they receive all my docs & procesing my applicaiton, but someone told me something different,

i emailed the details to her. & told her tat i need the card urgently, told her to expedite for me. but still, i didnt receive the card & no news from then on, i wrote in to complain again. finally someone replied said will chk for me. the card is suppose to come with lifetime annual fee waiver if approve by 31 Aug. but in the end, the card was only approved in early sep. i dont know whehter this is reason they are delaying my application.  vmad.gif

anyway, i've checked tat the card is in Pos office now. i'll go down to collect on coming sat.  sweat.gif

what card u apply for lifetime annual fee waive??

my one is Petronas Visa, as i got DA Master(I cancel Visa).
