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?
*
means u must pay all outstanding balance for the current month in order to get the 20 days free interest for next month. if u only pay partial or min, u will be charge the interest of the next month + ourstanding balance.

thanks, i was wondering about that too as someone from the bank called me up a long time a go and asked me to submit only my ic and payslip (i declined then as i didnt believe in using credit cards then).  but when i decided to apply and went to the damansara bank, the officer asked for my statement (which i had) and BE form (wich i dont have), sigh...so i do hope the blank bits in the form i filled would not become an issue.
*
if currentlyn using any credit card the bank only need the photocopy of your credit card only.. no need those statemenet, payslip etc

I just got my MBB Visa Classic. What different between MBB Visa Classic & Visa Wave ?

I tried to do some comparasion in Maybank2u but doesn't spot any differences

Oh ya, Im wondering if you guys normally settle full outstanding each month ? I'd only pay around 50% of my outstanding only . Bad record I guess ? unsure.gif
*

I noticed that many stores (e.g. Best Denki, Harvey Norman) do not accept CIMB cards for flexi-payment.
Anyone knows the reason of this? Or is it just a coincidence?
*
CIMB is sucks and yes many stores do not accept CIMB for flexi payment but some of them are CIMB merchants. CIMB only allows you to either ask the merchants to do manually which most merchant do not want to do it. Secondly, they will ask u to swipe full amount first (not installment) then make a call to CIMB to apply for flexi payment 10-20 months. Beware, if you do not prepare to pay one time interest of 3-5% which they will charge you for the flexi plan. Stupid right ? then why is it call 0% installment?

I see.  sweat.gif
When I bought my laptop I opted for 0% 12-months payment using CIMB cc. And yeah it was hard to find a store that accept CIMB flexi payment.
Anyway from the cc statements that I've received so far I don't see any 3-5% charge. I even asked the seller repeatedly whether it's really 0% interest, and he assured me there's none. Hopefully this surcharge won't suddenly turn up in my future statements.  sweat.gif
*
No. If the seller manage to do the 0% installment on their merchant's machine then it is fine. Some merchant do not want to do manually whereby I found CIMB cc need to be done manually if u wan to do flexi payment. The 3-5% charges will be charged if made a full payment and want to change to flexi payment by calling CIMB personally - which the merchant will advice you to do it.

This means Public Bank credit card and Flexipay is better than CIMB?
With PB... just buy using the credit card (any merchant/shop) then request it converted to Flexipayment after 3 days of purchase.
*
Oh, i didnt know PB also have this practice. Do they charge one time interest or anything ?

Yes, they will charge 6% if you will choose 24-months (minimum 4K)

OK but what I mean is the RM4K (less your upfront fee which is 5%) should be restored after few days or the next statement (when the Flexipay Monthly Installment appears in the statement).
At least that is what I know with Public Bank.
*
Then it is the same practice as CIMB, then the 0% installment has no meaning already.

Hmm my credit limit affected lol. My CIMB CL was RM4000, and I purchased something worth RM2500 then converted to flexi payment. Once I back home Im surprise to see my CL deducted the total. I called CIMB and the operator told me the same sweat.gif
*
no matter you are swiping for 0% flexi payment or not the amount of purchase still willd educt from your credit limit. i.e. you have RM4000 CL, you use it to buy a laptop of RM2500 and opt for flexi payment 12 or 24 month, automayically your credit limit will become RM1500. Just the diffrent is the payment you can pay it in months and not next statement.

A note:
0% easy payment scheme is only available if the store has the merchant terminal that is the same as the card one is using for payment.

EG.
If the store have a CIMB merchant and had a tie up with the bank, than when one purchase with CIMB card than it would be possible for 0% EPP.
However, if one uses Citibank or other cards in this purchase; and the only merchant terminal the store had is CIMB, than 0% is not possible.
Thus Flexi pay if the bank allows is the only way to go obviously with % charged.
*
I come across some outlet who is CIMB merchant, but while using the card to process for the 0% EPP, it declined. The outlet also made a calls to the CIMB's office and was asked to do it manually, which not all outlets is willing to do. Eventually they will ask us, buyer to call CIMB outself whereby the one time interest comes in. My friend who also come across the same problem with his CIMB card, but he is lucky because the merchants press the CIMB officer for explanation and they did something on the system whereby the card was swipe for 0% EPP, the officer will manually 'approved' the current transaction for 0% EPP. I do not know the reason but heard that they did not update the merchant machine because some of them are using Southern Bank and some of the is using Bumiputra Commerce one( Sountern and BBC has merged).

I personally find it useful because it's 0%interest during installment. Just a one time fee (3, 4 or 5, or 6%). Usual credit card purchases incur interest (if paid slowly e.g. minimum or more than minumum) and some finance charges.
*
useful or not is diffrent story. when a buyer who do not have cash and in need of the item i think 10% oso he/she will pay. Other cc don't charge anything for 0% EPP except for i heard CIMB and PBB only if you want to convert your transaction into installment
