Nope....
If put FD to get the cc just like u need to buy it from them.
Oso if u withdraw ur FD, they will terminate ur cc.
I prefer to apply by normal bcoz really qualify for it.
Just the bank problem or just my luck not so good.

No one will pick up the call after 6.00pm no matter u call Kuching nor KL.
No matter what CS line(including Platinum/Infinite), no one will answer as well.
If for lost card case, call 03-20310020(RHB aunthorization centre), the authorizer will help u to block the lost cc.

aight, thanks for the info ..

Was looking at the alliance younique ... seems like a pretty cool card.
Get to customize the card and also choose either 2% rebate on all retail or 9% finance charge p.a

To the HSBC Premier Credit Card holder, what is the minimum credit limit? Can use this card to apply another exclusive credit card such as CIMB World mastercard or SCB Visa Infinite?

RHB Infinity ... incredilously crazy.
For example, if you qualify as the Preferred Customer, you'll auto qualify for a complimentary Gold card. Fund over RM500K, will qualify for Platinum card.
VISA Infinity - I think FD around RM1 mil. (or more) I know that their CL starts @ RM200K.

Problem is, I don't take too well the bank CS quality level. CS number takes forever to call in even though you are a Platinum card holder. Card application takes about 3-4 weeks for platinum and similarly for gold. (At least from my experience) The one good thing I can speak about this card is that they actively monitor your spending pattern and will call you almost immediately they detect the spending but really that's the only good thing about the card.

The fact that not many have this card, we don't have much feedback about the CS quality level for Infinity card.

i know the maybank manager in genting..hope he can help
haih
if know wont charge so much la

LOL, I just received call from SCB, the department that in charge for CC. He told me that FD no longer can be use to get VISA Infinite card.

thanks..but who is he btw??/
i dont have access to internet that time and dats y i call2ask the stupid CS!!!
if i knw they all have shit for brains..i wouldnt have ended up this way
i wont give up until they admit their mistake n do something about it!

Hi All,
Wishing an early Happy CNY!!! Gong Xi......
Up to date already collected 21 plat cards in hand.(all active)
Still 8 cards to go, then my collection will complete.

Hi,
Hmmm.... Same case happen to me no matter I apply on line or at their brach.
Rejected no matter what documents I submitted.
After few times rejection,I complaint to 1 of the branch manager and get some info from him regarding PBB cc.
They hav an internal criteria which a person who already hold cc for more than 6 issuers they will declined ur application. Due to holding too many cc. I dun know if it is true but I think it should be the reason my application rejected.

The branch manager promised will forward my case to the head of card centre for appeal but not guaranteed approval. Hope to get his reply soon.

Anyone got idea or can help for PBB cc??? I'll buy best dinner if anyone can help!!!

EON bank I hav no problem wor.....
My EON MC plat application approved and get the card within a week.

I really not sure about this, but PBB is the only issuer who denied to issue me cc in my life.

@tishaban,
Thanks for the heads up but I just made a payment in Euros! Damn.. should have consulted you earlier.  The good thing is that it wasn't a big sum

Speaking of Amex, has anyone ever been successful in getting them to waive off finance charges?  I overlooked my last months' bill and it seems I now owe them some $ on finance charges ! *SiGh*

@alexwsk,
If RM20k is sufficient for u then go ahead and ask for RM20k.  If u think it's not enough then ask for more.

@tgeoklin,
What was the reason/excuse U gave to them?  Can share so I can tweak my excuse too

@tgeoklin,
Er.. well unfortunately in my case i have a big feeling it's MY fault.. I underpaid by about RM20k so the finance charges have come up to about ~RM500 and I don't want to pay the RM500 !!! how how how?!

@tgeoklin,
I don't know Y i was so careless! *siGh* but the good thing is that I did have the RM20k sitting in my Maybank Account so I probably could use that as a reason.

Will call them later and see what they can do - in the meantime, I've settled all outstanding with them [don't want interest to continue piling!] except for the finance charges.  Will report back as to what the outcome is.

yes. as im only swipe 8 times... and found it hard to swipe more.

btw, on other matter.

past few days, im trying to pay my UK professional fees online using my Direct Access but the transaction is shown: authorisation failure.

called the DA customer service centre, and they said thet got problem with the merchant, tht's why can not process and ask me to try again later.

and today im try again and it's shown the same message. called up again and still give the same excuses, worse, the CS is suggesting to me that to pay my fee manually, by sending my credit card info via email to my professional body in UK...

WTF, who got such time n energy to do so.

fed up with DA, and thinks of my HSBC.

1st time tried HSBC also showing the authorisation fail message. call up HSBC customer service and he is checking for me.

he said the authorisation failed is bcoz im paying to foregin merchant and it's not in their list, that's why it prompt them to reject it. since im called in, it's verified that it's genuine, and he checked with security dept and ask them to authorise my payment.

after 5-10 minutes, i try to pay use my HSBC and it's DONE.

really dissapointed with DA...
