Hye said in the latest "Standard Chartered Priority Banking" flyer it is stated that all "Priority Banking customers" will get a complimentary VISA Infinite now


Yes. TMPoint does accept VISA or Mastercard.


Are you sure you are on a credit card ? Or it's the Maybank VISA debit card. The card with cherry design.


CONGRATS God, sound like Rebecca Bloomwood now


Congrats ! Use it wisely and never withdraw cash advance. Both are more or less the same.


Actually i have not been on a situation where a merchant only accept VISA and not Mastercard or the other way around. Usually in Malaysia if they do accept credit card as a mode of payment, then almost 100% they will definitely accept your VISA or Mastercard. Only AMEX (American Express), JCB (Japan Credit Bureau) and Diners Club are not accepted by certain merchants.


Agreed.


WHAT ? Just three years ? How stingy of them ! Did you ask your RM if you can definitely get another 3 years free when you renew your VISA Infinite three years later and still a Priority Banking customer ?

just curious, which bank besides citibank, can prepare new CC apps within 1-2 days?

Cimb card, but you have to go to their branch at medan damansara. Approval and physical card will be ready in 1 and half hour.

owh ic ic... besides CIMB, are there any other banks hv such fast service?

actually i just found out from mbb website oso

i dunno if it's safe or not..

But you have no choice as the hotel can't confirm ur booking without the info.

yes i will ask for it after 3 years

Yalo, how ar? Actually I wan to book at Genting hotel or Highland hotel.

@aarex,
If ur making your reservations or bookings through a valid / dependable source then I guess it's oK to reveal the information. The other option is perhaps for U to do an online booking instead? That way, U do not need to give these vital information over the phone.

if the hotel staff is unethical enuff he will use ur cc n security number...

today i have called maybank customer service to know my cc application..unfortunately my application for maybank petronas are not successfull..uwa...really sad..

Thanks tinkerbel for the info.
But i checked at Genting website...it stated Highland hotel - Not available for online booking. Call (603) 2718 1118.

@aarex,
In that case, the decision will be yours to make. Unless the tele-marketing person is really screwed up, U should have nothing to worry about. Genting is a big enough company and no reason to want to steal from U

If it makes U feel more comfortable, what about doing a walk-in booking instead?! If all else fails, ask the person taking/doing your booking for his full name and IC number

Haha....good good! Thanks for ur advice.

You can try apply CIMB Petronas, it also free for life

already applied it..hope my application will not be reject this time

maybank called me just now to tell me that i can collect my mbb petronas... 2 months after application just got their call..lol..i was going to apply again for it coz i thought my application failed edi

Think those are for normal CC applications which has annual fees, MBB Petronas Visa is special

You shouldn't be paying for any bookings at Genting, use GP or WP instead...

Haven't paid for a room in years

(But then, they've taken a lot more than my room's cost everytime)


You can get them to send it to your address, saves you the trouble of running here and there...
