Hi guys,

I found a good deal from 0% installment but i have a few questions to ask:

1. is there any hidden fee such as process fee, etc? if yes, how much is it?
2. Let say I buy an item at RM6000 (6000/12 = RM500 monthly) and my credit limit is just RM5000, do I eligible for this purchase?

thanks in advance.

1. No. When it is stated 0% than it's 0%. and 0% usually only applies to the specific bank's card whose merchant terminal is used by the shop.
I.e. Maybank cards with Maybank terminals etc.. Sort of a tie up between the store and the bank.

2. No. You need RM6,000 to purchase a RM6,000 item. It's logic.

Anyway, thread merged with pinned credit card thread.

Ok. thanks for the info.

ok, let say i bough an item priced at RM4999 and my credit limit is RM5000. So, I cannot use cc for fuel already until 2 years (after installment done)? Am I right?

your credit limit is free-ed up by the installment amount every month.

eg. is ur purchase is 4800.  credit limit is 5000. Over 12 months.

Month 0 Installment left: 4800  Credit limit: 200
Month 1 Installment left: 4400  Credit limit: 600  (pay RM400)

Ok.. I got the point. smile.gif..

I already request for maybank petronas card, normally how long it takes? is there any hotline that I can contact to know the status?

What is the other card that is free for life and not from Maybank? what is the card name? thanks.

I just got the job and applied for maybank petronas but the application been rejected .. sad.gif . damn.. I fulfill the min requirement .. Maybe I do not have enough payslips (but I already gave the degree transcript and offer letter). sad.gif


Added on November 23, 2008, 2:39 pmlet say the form asking for gross annual income, and in my offer letter, there is a contractual bonus ... say my pay is rm3k per month .. should I put RM36k or RM39k gross annual income?

I also have fixed allowances such as transport and shift. It is not included OT that I work on public holiday. how should I state my gross annual income here?

have you considered CIMB direct access? No idea whether Maybank accepts offer letter and transcript as supporting documents but I've heard direct access does.

on contractual bonus, no idea but when in doubt why don't you break it up say write 36k then at the bottom "not inc 1 month contractual bonus". the forms are processed by humans anyway.

you need to earn at least 100k p.a for platinum card (apply for most of the card). CIMB DA is offering platinum card with min req 84k p.a.

btw, I am confuse with late payment charge. It stated "... enjoy interest free period 20 days from the statement date for all your retail purchases. If the preceding month outstanding balance has been fully settled."

Is it mean, I just pay for the amount I used if I settle within 20 days of the date in statement bill?
