QUOTE(zenquix @ Nov 17 2008, 06:05 PM) Have not been successful yet. If you have a DA card, you cannot apply for a CIMB Petronas. I know cause I tried. Reason given is both cards got fuel rebate. Have not tried the vanilla CIMB cards or Enrich cards yet. Citibank can get card in 1 hour if you show up & apply at their card center at jln ampang.Based on my experience Direct Access from CIMB. Within a week you get your card. |

QUOTE(b00n @ Dec 15 2008, 04:52 PM) Yes, from my observation Citi tend to increase their customer's limit automatically unlike other banks. CL are normally determined as follows :-Reality is if one have more cards it's easier for them to get even more cards provided their payment history is good lar... It's just an unfair world we're living in... 1) up to 33% of your fixed annual income for most banks 2) the overall CL you are currently enjoying, the more cards you hold, the chances are you may be over exposed 3) your repayment patterns & historical records, the longer the better 4) cumulative loan exposure etc |

QUOTE(Reventon @ Dec 16 2008, 08:33 PM) haha , they know what will happen if they send the redemption letter before charging you annual fee... I understand they do not waive annual fees for Amex Plat, so do fill us in if you do managed to get it waived i've successfully waived my visa gold and platinum last month with a phone call , double checked with the CS and she told me would not touch my treatpoints for it.. just to be sure as i've heard some of the forumers say that MBB agreed to waived it but in fact using up their points for the waiver.. so far i dont have problem with their latest promo and the only bad experience was their CS effectiveness and slow response to our demand. But AMEX CS is way better than MBB , maybe i am the lucky one ? Btw, even Amex CS is starting to be contaminated by MBB's culture. Compared to the hey days, its sad |

QUOTE(RockIron @ Dec 19 2008, 01:25 PM) Hi, just something to share........... Its norm and you are probably right about holding too many cards. There was a time I had practically every cc there was in M'sia I applied few times for PBB Plat cards but they rejected me everytime. My salary more than enough for their requirements. I submit salary slip,EPF statement,bank statement,other bank Plat cards(higher requirements than PBB Plat) using more than few years to pledged also they rejected me. I checked with BNM for my credit report and it is clear. Also,I never owe any bank or have any outstanding balance. Maybe I hold too many cards and this is the reason of rejection. Anyone got this experiance? How long can reapply after rejection? Pls share............... Imagine my surprise when suddenly one day got rejected |

QUOTE(RockIron @ Dec 19 2008, 08:48 PM) Hi Tinkerbel, No need give up. After getting the card, then cancel. That way, get to keep cards & also reduce your exposure. As to the OCBC Plat card, all you need is place a FD of sunstantial amount and they will send you an invitation. Oh, you may need to be very patient as they are pretty slow Actuali i am collecting my plat cc collection. Just short of PBB,HLB & OCBC plat cc to complete it. But after few times rejection from PBB, i think my collection...... Added on December 19, 2008, 8:56 pm Hi tgeoklin, Maybe u r rite with ur experiance, then i think i should giv up my collection. Also, cant get the OCBC MC plat too coz not open for application.(By invitaion only) FYI I got the OCBC card way back in 1990 when its by invitation that way as well. Then it was very prestige with a min of 15K for classic and 30K for gold, and in time they gave me the titanium & plat etc card etc. All also cancel now as well |

QUOTE(RockIron @ Dec 20 2008, 05:11 PM) Yup, agreed to what u say. CS will of course not be aware as its a computerised process, thus you will need to set off the alarm bells for the top guns to notice you. Trust me, the invitation will be forthcoming. And that's what makes it so exclusive, the hard to obtain factor. More so for collectors Maybank offer me the AMEX Plat cc.(pre-apprroved) No need pay RM800 AF coz it comes with welcome packed. Ask OCBC plat line CS, they say cant apply even put FD in the bank. Need recomendation letter from their top management for this plat MC. Dun know what make this cc so exclusive????? Do understand, you can't compared them to Maybank as even in M'sia, MBB is the standard for how things could always be done better |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 24 2008, 11:55 AM) @RockIron, Yeap, that's y at times having a charge card is good as never know when you might need to go on a mad rush at the very last minute Er.. I usually don't exceed more than 50% of my available CL but I made some rather heavy purchases the last few months hence I used up my total available CL on Amex. On another note, I just checked.. Citibank gave me an additional RM20k credit line with my renewed CC - weird and crazy bank. When I wanted it they don't give it to me, when I don't need it, they give it to me ! And with the current scenario, much harder to get increse in CL, abeit temporary |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 24 2008, 12:07 PM) @tgeoklin, I understand but at times its damn as if we know what we need to be spending on, right? You will be surprised at how many times I had broke my limit when I least expect to do so I'll be mad if I actually used up all my CL on my CCs. It's just that I only have 1 Amex card and rather accumulate my points on that one account than have it split across Amex & Citibank |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 24 2008, 01:47 PM) @tgeoklin, @Tinkerbel, you will be surprised what I sometimes go thru when on extended trips. There was once I even had to have a temp increse of RM200K after shooting thru the roof. Lucky the bank was very obliging, otherwise would be in very hot soup Am sure it's on the ocassional rare moments; and even then U could always pay up your bills first Paying ahead is definitely not an option, more so when you do not even have the funds at the time in question.
