It has to be 24 swipes of any amount per year, if I am not mistaken. Anyway, it's more a lifestyle card for me. Unfortunately, it does not give cash back.

so scb will b cancelled la laugh.gif


Added on June 2, 2009, 2:18 pmn i heard from a fren ... for overseas spending citibank charge a lower exchange rate compared to other banks? true ar? i tot the rate is determine by visa/master not the bank?

i noe hsbc charge another 1% n their rate is quite high compared to market exchange rate.

Nope ... don't have that. The Premier card if you ask me is just hype. Supposedly that is how they ID you should you go to other HSBC branches anywhere in the world. In reality they are very efficient, you could give them you acct no or even Plat card number and they will still know you are a Premier customer.
Priviledge wise, it is about the equivalent to the HSBC Plat. Design wise is dissappointing ... even their Plat or basic card more better looking than the Premier. (Even SCB Titanium JustOne card is also better looking and it is 2 class lower than the Premier)

juz received my justone cc tongue.gif

but not much info supplied from their booklets except those already stated in their website.

however thr is 1 extra info ... "Cash rebates for all your purchases including petrol transactions at petronas,esso & mobil." "in addition we are working with other petrol operators to offer you more exclusive benefits.We will inform you on the availability in due time" shocking.gif i tot the rebates shud b the bank's promotion? how come DA can offer 2% for ALL petrol stations rclxub.gif

these clauses never appear in any of their marketing site or brochures.

and whr is my supp card? they send the supp card in 1 parcel for the visa ... now i onli receive my primary ( they gonna send separately or they r not givin me the supp? ) really lazy to call them again la ... seems like i've been calling them a lot these few weeks to check this n tht ... scb oh scb y la ur service so damn inefficient?

yup ... found out the reason y i hafta keep the card for 6 mths ... the agent's commission will b pulled back if any new card is canceled whithin this period ... but thts doesnt mean tht cs could hang up the call

anyway i stil keep the titanium so the agent stil got his commission on this card ( i never applied for the visa anyway , so if scb din send me the cc he oso dun get the visa commission rite )

a complain had been lodged with another cs but i doubt anything will happen ... i dun haf powerful enuf english level so cant write "keng" letter tongue.gif but after cool down , ok la no nid go make thing worse liao .... juz hopefully the titanium cc dun gif me much trouble la

I applied Hong Leong CC before and I wanted to cancel it. So, I called the agent. The agent honestly told me not to cancel it so soon as it may affect her commission. She asked me to cancel it after around 3 months.

To me, it is ok as I have nothing to lose. So, I cancelled it after 3 months...

If we have nothing to lose, why not we just let them earn the commission???

well ... if the agent honestly told me he would pick a master n visa , i mayb obliged to his request.
but now the problem is , the visa never been applied by me nor mention by the agent tht he will tick tht column. if he doesnt do tht , and its solely scb policy to issue 2 cards , then it shudn't affect the agent comm since im not canceling all the cc ...

moreover tht damn cs who hanged up my call make me damn tulan ... before tht his voice tone oso like threatening saying "u must keep it for 1 yr or at least 6 mths" ... thts the point when i start questioning him til he proceed with my cancellation.

after 1 exp of helping agents , i dunwan to do it again. last time keep all the cc not using in home , thief come in , take it n swipe kaw-kaw. becoz of the cc havent been use so long , the bank called to verify the usage as it was a shopping spree ( damn they buy watever they c ). then onli i knew something wrong. although ask them to block , some transactions stil go thru.make police report , 3-4 appeal letters , 3 times visiting their hq , onli dispute.

i definitely dun wanna go thru this anymore.yes,they say they will responsible for the fraud case.but did they do any investigations? i doubt they could do anything , it was ourself who had to prove we r innocent by asking the shops cctv records , explaining. so y shud i risk myself for an agent comm???

1) used at a restaurant , the waiter say rejected ... i ask him to choose cc coz this card is 2 in 1 ... try again ... also can go thru ... he say it auto reject ... he din even c any option given hmm.gif then he say might b their merchant machine was outdated as it was used quite long

2) used at comp shop ... almost same as problem 1 ... put in cc ... he say cant go thru ... the machine say chip error shakehead.gif

3) used at a minimart ... this place run by korean so their r familiar with this cr or dr option ... i din say anything but once she saw the option she asked cr or dr thumbup.gif ( shud haf more of these ppl ) ... i said cr ... c she punch tht option ... card rejected doh.gif try a few times onli go thru
