@lin00b,
Platinum cards can also be free. All my CCs are free with the exception of my Amex Platinum; there were reasons Y I took it up and paid the RM800 but I'm done with it and that's Y I'm trying to see what my next steps are. I believe I will continue using Amex as my primary card though - it's just a matter of preference that's all.

@winner,
I was referring to specifically to Alliance Bank

@WaCKy-Angel,
Are U allowed to use CC for payment even if U purchase 1 GSC ticket?! The last I recall, you need to have a minimum spent before GSC will allow U to pay via CC. Also, RM6.80 for a large pop corn + ice lemon tea set; how to pay via CC?!

Agreed !! That's how people got influenced by them ..

Hmm .. I see. That doesn't really sound reasonable if apply credit card with such feature but ended up based on promotion period.

Hmm .. I see. Useful for those Movie Geeks ..
Anyway .. VIP Special lane with red carpet for Fast Lane service is it ? .. or there is always Free Premiere show or VIP Class one ?

There are no minimum purchase on using cc at GSC and even Cineleisure. I'm always using visa wave when buying tickets.

Is it confirm that, to apply SCB VISA infinite or CIMB World MC, the current card CL must be only 50k only?

If it is true then I will put in FD in Public Bank so that my current card limit increase to 50k & apply for SCB VISA infinite or CIMB World MC with it.

Your limit need to be in existence for at least 1 year or so for it to be effective plus they will have other criterias as well. The RM50K minimum CL is just one of them.

OK, what is the other criteria?

Your overall credit exposure, age, qualifications, job industry, spending patterns just to name a few

Thank you for the information.

Age also take into consideration? what age that normally they looking for?

Which more prestigious : DA Platinum Mastercard or DA World Mastercard ?

In terms of card level - DA World Mastercard.
In term of "actual" service level - should be the same as per Platinum card. Some forummer here are cancelling their World Mastercard as they are unhappy due to mismatched expectations.

Besides SCB and Alliance Bank that offer cash rebate on any transactions, any other banks offer this rebate?

I just paid house assessment and quit rent by using Maybank CC and total payment amounting to RM500.00+

If calculate this cash rebate, can get RM10 ya.

Just want to know, do we need to activate our credit card when we receive it?

Activate as in maybe swiping it or call the bank to activate it?

I receive my card few days ago and yet to use it. Do i need to activate it? Or it depends on which banks?

@adrianteo,
Yes, normally you would need to contact the bank to activate your card. The process is different with all banks. You should have received instructions with your new CC ; check if you can find it

Generally banks are not comfortable with younger people with tons of $$$ unless you are like somebody's son/daughter etc

@GHz,
And if you're so-and-so's son, U probably oredi received that CC you're hoping to get Btw, why the need for this particular CC?! Does it really give you that much of fulfilment?

No lah. Not son of somebody's with tons of money. If I am, why I have to do this kind of thing to get the card. Just ask my dad to get me.

@GHz,
So.. what's it that's making U want this card so much?!

@tinkerbell. You need not ask a hostile question like that lah. Everyone has their cc needs (including myself), it is my dream to get a World Mastercard and a VISA Infinite too. Gosh ... I don't even qualify for the AMEX Plat but yet you have one.

I remember some banks do not accept credit card application from those over 65-year-old.

@hye,
Er.. act, I asked only because I wanted to know if there were hidden 'privileges'. If so, I may just see if I can get hold of one

Am sure the bank made a mistake on your Amex Platinum application and, maybe, just maybe, i'm so-and-so's daughter?!
