I need to understand more about this balance transfer. I planning to transfer my balance from maybank to EON card. Around 2k for 12 months.
I wanna know whether below statement is still true for EON Balance Transfer.

The low interest rate is applicable to the balance transfer amount only, which means all new charges are charged at 18% p.a. What’s more, the monthly payment you made goes directly to the balance transfer and your are only allow to pay-off those new charges once the balance transfer is fully settled. Simply puts it, you continue to pay 18% p.a for all the new charges at a compounded rate until you pay off the balance transfer. The safest way to avoid this is to keep the card at the drawer.
What I wanna confirm whether if I charge the new charges to the card I won't be able to paid those charges until finish my balance transfer amount.
I thought EON Bank will be different coz below term

A balance transfer account (“Balance Transfer Account”) for the Programme will be allocated to the Cardholder which will be combined with the
Cardholder’s existing EON Bank Card Account. The existing credit limit approved for the Cardholder’s EON Bank Card Account will be shared
with the Balance Transfer Account and all other supplementary cards issued. The Programme is not a credit limit increase and the Balance
Transfer Account will be used to post balances transferred from other card issuers.

I read that as, the bank will provide you with new account number which separate from normal CC balance. Meaning I can allocated my payment to either normal charges or those monthly charges for my balance transfer.
I will ask EON directly but prefer to hear from others first..
Thanks
