On the other hand, I am also thinking of getting a debit card that's tied to an account with only small amounts of cash (maybe RM500). Hopefully that should help limit loses in the case the card is stolen. What do you guys think about this?smile.gif

The purpose of credit card is to give you credit, i believe by setting a limit, it just defeats its purpose.

Furthermore, this will increase the workload of banks worker.

Can you imagine if your credit card unable to swipe because the bank personnel forgot / didn't call you up for the confirmation?

P.S: In addition, may I suggest we add in some 'best practices' on how to be carefull and safeguard the cards? I have one from a friend who reccomends that the card be placed with name up so everytime you open your wallet, you can see and be sure the card is your's. I'm sure there are plenty of more good ones:)

Treat it like your own cash.

It's unnecessarily to put card up side down just to show your name, rather you should not let anyone having any chances to touch your wallet.

Whenever you open your wallet or keep your wallet, check if all your cards available.

Rule of thumbs, having 2 different credit card companies, one international, one local. That should be more than sufficient. It's unnecessarily and troublesome to have too many credit cards.
