lol i also got it from maybank. amount 2k. monthly instalment 333.33 x 6 months. cash advance fee 77.60.

that means we are getting 1922.40, but paying 1999.98 over 6 months. unsure.gif

I found out that the cash advance fee being charged is lower than the usual standard charge:

QUOTE
Flat rate of 5.00% of the total amount of cash advance
Min: RM10

so how to calculate the effective interest rate per annum? n got any other hidden charges? hmm.gif

From my understanding, it may not have any extra or hidden charge. Pay the cash advance fee (one time) and the amount will be converted into installament programme. These are my guess only. To clarify, give a call to MBB CS.

Mind to tell me why ?

Because the interest charged on the amount withdrawn (outstanding) will be imposed daily from the day of withdrawal till you settled it in full amount.

So the best way to settle my debt is transfer balance to another credit card ?
*
It's wiser since balance transfer charge is generally lower than cash advance interest (18% p.a.).

I think I read an article in the The Star that fraud not due to you is charged to a max of RM 250.

Sorry, I couldn't find back the article.

What does the last statement mean? Not related to annual fees right?

Annual Fees

Lifetime Fee Waiver
Supplementary cardholder: Lifetime Fee Waiver
1% of the minimum repayment amount due or a minimum of RM5, which ever is higher, up to a maximum of RM75 (to include other related charges if any)
*
I believe it's referring to the * under:

Maybe due to that reason (online statement), they could afford to offer Lifetime Fee Waiver.

If you opt for printed statement, you'll be charged for RM 5 monthly. RM 5 x 12 == RM 60 per year.

Think about it and usually gold card annual fee is higher than RM 60.

argghh Amex ikhwan is on the way now this gold Amex looks so tempting

ikhwan need to swipe 12 times and this one free for life not forever

Swiping 12 times annually is not a big problem for me.

Grocery and petrol at major merchants that accept AMEX will solve this little headache. I could swipe for more than that in a month.

I don't think that will matter.

You can also use your company card to swipe for personal stuffs as long as you pay back.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

When Ikhwan AMEX was first introduced, they offer a conversion from conventional AMEX to Islamic Ikhwan AMEX.
