QUOTE(vin_ann @ Nov 19 2008, 10:31 PM) when u r Platinum user, you wont bother about the annual already. if im not wrong, there are some Platinium's annual fee is un-waiveable... not the problem of bothering to pay the annual fee, what i mean is is rhb visa plat card annual fee is waiveable or not coz it come with a priorty pass. Most of my card are free except amex and it come with a prestige plat card ( reason for unwaiveable annual fee ) . |

QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Nov 14 2008, 02:31 PM) Added on November 14, 2008, 2:38 pm On several occasion, the currency exchange I got from CC is so low that it is available nowhere else in the world (because it's even lower than interbank rates). Heck, it is not even available to the bank themselves, let alone their customers. When you think about that statement, it's truly puzzling. Hence my original posting asking as to whether anyone here know something I don't. Foreign merchant ----> VISA/MC -----> CIMB -----> You. AFAIK, CIMB DA is one of the very few bank that do not earn anything from you for foreign transaction. The merchant makes money from you. VISA/MC makes money from you. CIMB do not charge transaction fee so do not earn money from you. Other banks do. HSBC add 1% on top of VISA/MC charges. PBB also 1%. EON adds 2%. 18-Oct. BNM rate 6.1108. DA rate 6.102 28-Oct. BNM rate 5.5856. DA rate 5.56 11-Nov. BNM rate 5.6031. DA rate 5.621 As you can see, only the last conversion rate is normal, aka above the wholesale rate. And only marked up by 200 base point whereas bank normal marked up by 400 to 500 base point. It seems it's actually cheaper to use DA credit card than buying GBP bank draft. I simply couldn't figure it why. http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=12&pg=6...ype=Mid&unit=rm |

I posted this in another tread. A summary of my experience so far.
This is incredible and I have a hard time understand why. But it could be very significant for those having to study overseas. Now, when you needed money to pay for UK university tuition or accommodation, you typically go buy a bank draft from Malaysian bank and send it to UK. But here is another incredible method: It's may actually be cheaper to use your Malaysian credit card to pay for those thing in term of foreign currency conversion. Not sure of other CC. I have used my DA credit card to pay for several things in UK and here are the records: 23-Sep. BNM rate 6.305. DA rate 6.249 30-Sep. BNM rate 6.225. DA rate 6.359* 18-Oct. BNM rate 6.1108. DA rate 6.102 28-Oct. BNM rate 5.5856. DA rate 5.56 11-Nov. BNM rate 5.6031. DA rate 5.621* BNM indicative rate is supposedly the wholesale rate or Interbank rate. That is supposedly the price your local bank pays for GBP. So when the bank sell you the GBP, they will typically mark up by 0.04 ot 0.05 (400 to 500 base point) to the wholesale rate and sell it to you. 2 of the transaction is considered normal (*) in the sense that there is a mark up of 1400 (highly excessive) and 200 base point (considered super cheap). But what I could not figure out are the other 3 transactions. They are 600, 100, 300 base point BELOW the wholesale rate. It is like as if your bank is subsidizing your GBP purchase. Instead of marking up 400 to 500 base point, they actually make a lost of 100 to 600 base point on those transaction. For bank to make a lost is most ridiculous and impossible but the records seem to say otherwise. What's up? Anyone got an explanation? http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=12&pg=629 |
