finding company....not ah long lah...actually after they sweep ur card to convert ur o/standing credit to installment, then the bank will directly pay the credit to them, then u just pay ur o/stading credit to the bank monthly. currently i found 1 that the interest they charging 11-12% if re-structure ur o/stading credit to 1 year, so I want to find the lower interest 1....mayb 6%-8%  tongue.gif
*
I got it, meaning.. u want to keep de remaining balance of CL remain low, so u still can utilise it after charging a big amount of money to ur card.. Coz 'someone' is paying it for u.. I've heard dat kinda thing somwher.. How these companies operate? To be precise, in term of legality.. BNM regulations watsoeva..

harlow, i am thinking to get one credit card due to my nature of work. since i just join this company about one month and i need to travel a lot in the future, maybe. so i want a credit card just to use for the outstation which means only for work or company purposes. i dun need it for personal purposes.

i am consider about cimb direct access. is it suitable for me?

what if i dont need to travel let say for a year so i dun need to use it, is there any charges, interest or what so ever, or is there any requirement to swept at least once per year?... i dun want to be charges when im not using the credit card.(remember this is only for cimb direct access)
thanks to credit card expert.... in advance..
*
at de moment, cimb DA does fit you.. Especially if you're a univ graduate.. free for life with no min swipe requirements.. n high CL (for me 8k is pretty high), .. but dont get too tempted or u might ended having too much debt.. plus, petrol rebates..

u may juz browse this topic for more info.. i'm sure all de feedback n infos available are very much sufficient..

actually, i dont want to use credit card because i hate paying interest. hahaha.... i dont want the bank get rich.... hahaha.. i have to because of my work...

so when using the direct access, no interest will be charged if im not using it right? because that's the important thing for me to know.
*
keep it home then when not on de go.. hehe.. brows.gif

btw, u might consider register for cimbclicks.. in case u dun hav one yet..
can track ur cc activity.. can also pay even before de bills coming..

anyone use credit card with paypal? can we sent money to someone normal account with our paypal? using the cc of course...and whats the charge?
*
I've been using paypal for quite sometime..

Basically, I believe we can send money direct to another paypal account, i think all of u agree.. given that u have sufficient balance account in the account, or you have the cc to be charged with the transferred amount.. But to directly send money to a bank account, for Malaysia's case, it is not possible at the moment..

But i tried once transfer using moneybookers.. As matter of fact, I was experimenting it at that point of time.. I add fund into my moneybookers acc using my cc, and then transfer it to my bank account.. but in total it cost me more than RM50 just to experiment this process for an amount of RM5++ (dun quite remember, coz it was 7-8 months way back)..

Maybe some of you has different story.. Care to share?

No charge will be incurred by you when you load funds into your PayPal via cc. (Make sure you are using a verified credit card for the purpose. Login into PayPal and get your cc verified) However the fund recipient will be charged by PayPal.
*
Ist really possible to load funds via cc? I.e to have a balance in the account by funding it via cc..?? The only thing i know, its kinda dual transaction, we buy somtin using paypal (subscriptions, ebook or somtin), then paypal will charge ur cc (fund the account to pay for the purchase).. Correct me if i missed somtin here..

i saw this in paypal...

** If your transaction involves a currency conversion, it will be completed at a retail foreign exchange rate determined by PayPal, which is adjusted regularly based on market conditions. This exchange rate includes a 2.5% spread above the wholesale exchange rate at which PayPal obtains foreign currency, and the spread is retained by PayPal. The specific exchange rate that applies to your multiple currency transaction will be displayed at the time of the transaction.

meant for ebay..

yup, thats true..

He'll be asked to upgrade his account to premier if he's to accept the money, if i'm not mistaken la..

btw, this is CC thread.. maybe u can find another specific thread for paypal in LYN..

Sorry guys, we both might juz a little bit out of original topic here..

just got a CC and now decided not to take it. how should I cancel the card. should I just cut the card or I have to inform them
*
try look at de beginning of this topic, u'll find a template letter for that purpose..

Simply cutting it wont make any diff, especially if it comes with annual fees.. Calling them to cancel de card also not sufficient, its either u come to their place n hav it cancelled or send a letter to them asking for cancellation.. Then maybe u can convert de cc into a keychain or somtin later on..

An acquaintance once told me. Not sure true or not. He said, when traveling overseas, HSBC charges/conversion rate is on the higher side. And they do charge an extra 1% for oversea transaction.

AFAIK, only DA has 0% oversea transaction charge. Most are 1% with EON the highest at 2%.
*
So far I see DA has a good reputation here.. I myself have DA, oso Maybank n BankIslam.. Been attended timely by the DA CS every time got prob or need to ask somtin (even it was 12 a.m!!).. Also, often they call call me when i charged somtin online using de cards.. Annoying, but better keep it dat way..

The only inconvenience i ever experienced was the cimbclicks, so frustrating.. I used all kinda browsers, IE, firefox, netscape, safari, chrome.. Office line, broadband, WIFI hotspots even Cybercafe, u name it.. Yet, I ended up having not-so-smooth experiences when it comes to cimbclicks juz for de sake of paying bills online.. Luckily they get branches everywhere.. Why cant they have good online services like m2u..

I dun hav any other cc beside the one i mentioned earlier.. So, cant comment much on other cards..

fikrie,

I'm a Citibank casualty also. My first CC application was a Citibank and MBB. Citibank rejected me. MBB approved me. After 12 months, Citibank starts to get aggressive and send free CC to me without application many times. I cancel/reject back all (revenge *evil* ) tongue.gif including the latest Shell Card. Out of the 5-10x free cards after so many years, I only keep 1 Citibank CC offered for backup purpose. The other rejected cards, I keep as souvenir  tongue.gif  big stack. Maybe one day can use as coffee table design and put a piece of tempered-glass on top  whistling.gif

My latest casualty this year is HSBC. My monthly salary is banked into HSBC. I try to apply early this year and rejected. Several months back, they call and give me a card  doh.gif

Is life fair to me ? no. So I moved on.  smile.gif
*
Lucky Citibank they didnt do same thing to me juz like wat they did 2u.. O'wise i'd had my revenge then (but i'll get more tempted i guess!!) I always wanted to have my own card collection.. But my wallet has no enough room for extra cards.. I guess enough is enough..

even life isnt that fair, but being grateful always a good thing to do.. Life must go on..

i dun think de exchange rate will be stated in the online statement, unlike mbb.. the amount appear would be in converted value.. i guess u have to call the centre to get the exact rate..

btw, u need to register for cimbclicks in order to view the online statement..

Its showed in M2U, but the transaction etc in CC is forever remain as RM0.00

Yup I have used my card...

My previous experience with other bank is, I have to request for the PIN then use at ATM machine for the online application. Not sure if its the same for maybank

rclxub.gif

when did u had ur transaction done..?? it should be in the statement few days later.. depending on the merchants..

wat do u mean by 'pin' here.. if u dun hav ur mobile registered, ofcoz u've to get the pin fr the atm every time u wanna do online application.. if u mean by TAC, the tac always being sent to ur mobile fone provided uve registered for it..

AFAIK, under the summary there should be a list for all account registered under ur name.. if that wasnt the case, u should call the bank and ask them to have your cc account in the list..

in case u managed to see the account, juz click on any of the account n u can start paying online.. and the balance will be updated promptly..

btw see which acc??
*
call the bank hotline n ask y ur cimb cc is not inlcuded in ur cimblicks, coz normally the account for cc is listed in the account summary.. Unless the bank has other reason for not listing it in the cimbclickcs, then the account must be shown somwhere in your cimbclicks.. U dun hav to walk in into any cimb counter for this purpose..
