i can confirm with you that MBB can temporary increase limit by time frame. You need to tell them that you're going aboard and wish to have extra limit for unforeseen expenses. By right the CS will ask you when you are going and coming back. Double check with the CS.

tinky,
you can ask Rocky to get you a Supplementary plat charge card, Free For Life. Haha. I believe he'd glad to do so.
I believe on the 2nd year Amex will not waive the AF , so you consider to keep the card ?

hm, watch out the term and condition from Rocky , lol.
request for upgrade to plat maybe possible, i hold master & visa plat, Amex plat cc and gold charge from Mbb,all heavily abused card tongue.gif for many years already. The only thing is i doesn't wish to pay 2k for the annual fee. Should help if call in to plat charge card call centre and express the interest on that plat charge card. Problem is maybe no AF waiver will be offered if request accepted.

Does anyone of you know how frequent bank udpate our record in bank negara... if they only increase my CL last month, will it reflect in current bank negara records so other banks can check that as well or we to wait few months before it is updated in bank negara ?

thanks to our bank's efficiency, you need at least 3 months period before BNM actual update your newly received CL increment in the system. For bad records like default payment, blacklist etc it seems much more faster to get your name marked inside. doh.gif ,

so is actually 3 months or 3 weeks to see the updates ? The agent said if they just increase my CL and I apply for other bank, they said wont follow the latest one so soon... should I have 1 month or 3 months to apply so they will see my high CL card ?
*
see carefully the reply. Both answer to different question doh.gif
If you want the bank to give equal or higher CL, better wait 3 months after the date you receive the CL increment. this is to make sure the system has been updated with your recent CL.

hye , call this number 03-20500880.
Amex green and gold card CS only provide office hours call center number behind the card. Plat card is 24 hours, they can check whatever you need also. No worry. The number provided above is platinum charge call center.

Thanks Bro Reventon  biggrin.gif
I'm just a little shocked that the CS working hours are structured that way. Plus it makes me feel like a second class citizen if I'm not a AMEX plat holder.
*
no problem bro brows.gif , my Amex Gold Charge Card CS number is 03-20500077 , which is operate at normal office hour too, since then i never bother to call the number stated behind the card, instead i call using Amex Plat Credit or Charge Card number, which is 24 hours and they can do whatever your request also.
Just the 2nd Class CS from MBB to our green and gold member! True enough it is quite troublesome if the CS time no available 24 hours. Maybe there is many others here has the same problem too.

Just to clarify, prior to the entry limit upgrade (RM200k) - Priority Banking customers could get a complimentary VISA Infinite (1st year AF waived) provided they have RM300K in deposits. (Please don't try to look for this info in the website because this is almost internal information).

Entry limits is now RM250K (Again this new limit is never updated anywhere online) and the flyer/letter says that members enjoy VISA Infinite card. (They could have maintained that RM300K for all you know) One member mentioned about the 3 year AF waived which I think is lucky/very good coz previously only 1st year is waived.

I wouldn't push my luck and force SCB to make this card free coz

1. Historically it has always been only 1st year AF waived offered to Priority Banking cust. If I'm not mistaken non-priority banking members would need to pay the annual fee of RM800.
2. Card is exclusive and possible to obtain if you meet the requirements as compared to RHB VISA Infinite card.
*
Bro, this card annual fee is unwaivable? Thinking of applyin for this card as their unlimited lounge entry seems useful for me.

Yes, I apply this card because of this unlimited lounge entries smile.gif one more thing, for SCB Visa Infinite card, you can earn 5X points for oversea transaction and 5x points for all transaction anytime anywhere during your birthday month.

FOr example, if your birthday is on July... then the whole july you will earn 5x points plus if you are abroad, you will earn another 5x... total 10x points smile.gif

attractive?
*
Sounds attractive , but SCB points does expire, and i've been using amex plat cc for almost all my expenses except the merchant does not accept it. Maybe will give it a try.

some of the bank used the 8th digit or 12th digit number to identify supplementary. But it's different from bank to bank.

Guys,

I'm thinking of applying for my first credit card soon. Any bank that you guys can suggest that are easy to get the CC's application approved?

Submit EPF and income tax form & receipt together with ur pay check will increase your chance for the first time application Cimb , Ambank , MBF and EON CC are few of the list which is much more easier to obtain at the moment. Good luck thumbup.gif

I don't really need a free laptop bag; still have about 2 brand new unused ones kept away but I do need the Gold Amex card *grins*

oK.. I'll just get my application filled in.  RM50 in the first month isn't too difficult to spend; 1 petrol swipe would do the trick biggrin.gif

@MilesAndMore,
Thanks! I didn't go into the application form; and the information is there! *grrrr*

hMm.. the bag does look quite nice, but nothing compares to my good ol Crumpler biggrin.gif

@Reventon,
I'm just too far off the RM190,000 p/annum figure and the only reason I'm switching to the Gold Charge Card is because I don't want to incur the RM800 AF !!! sad.gif

G.. I just read... the Gold Charge card requires RM148,000 p/annum.  I don't even qualify for that card !!! hAHahAHhaHAa... but am going to put in my application anyways biggrin.gif
