classic card can go up to 300k CL provided you are qualified for it. My friend classic card has 60k limit. Bank offer upgrade , but he want to retain the classic so only his CL is increasing thru the years.
*
Agreed. I know a friend with classic cc CL 250k. sweat.gif
He downgraded his plat cc to classic but the bank still maintain the CL.

The best Balance Transfer is still PB. 2nd to none so far

Whatever Ambank giving for its BL, I wont recommend to take it. its not worth it and another major point would be Ambank dont have Cash Deposit Machine. So you need to queue up during your lunch hour once every month to pay your bill.  rclxub.gif
I dont think all bank have such offer.
They no longer have any BL program. Their last BL would be 4% p/annum for 12 month.

PB BL might have the best BL around but there is one big (kinda huge actually) obstacle. Anyone having more than 4 credit card have not been known to apply succesfully from PB so far. (anyone manage to get it with even 3? I might be wrong)

It have been discussed in this thread before that PB cc is the hardest to apply.  sweat.gif
*
If someone hold 6 or more cc from other issuer, PB will straight away reject the person application.
If u apply PB before u have 6 cc from other issuer, chance to approve will be higher. Get this info from one of the PB branch manager.
Anyway PB cc very strict on approval. Myself also have issue with PB cc, the only cc issuer that denied my cc application in my life.

Still did not manage to get Platinum Card from Public Bank. I manage to upgrade my PB gold card to platinum last month although I have 6 CC in my keeping.

Hi GHz,
I think ur situation not same with me, u already hold PB card and it is an upgrade instead of new application.
My PB plat cc application thru the PB branch manager which he wrote a letter to PB card centre head regarding the problem I m facing still under process. Already about 2 months, call their CS they only can see it,s still under process.
Hope they can reply me soon......

Even my request of Amex plat charge card are approved recently but PB denied me 2 times before. rclxub.gif

Received call from PB card centre today.
They still unable to approve my cc application due to their internal policy(they can't approve cc for a person who hold more than 6 cc from other issuer)
They told me to cancel my existing cc to 6 issuer and wait after 6 month,then they can approve my application.
What a stupid policy....................
Looks like my collection will be without PBB. mad.gif

U are lucky coz they tell u the reason...

Yes some banks will not approve ur card if u have alot of cards from other bank.
Due to your liabiliti is high already.. the risk of u not paying back the money is high.
*
I m not a fresh user of cc. All the cc I hold has at least few years of vintage.
I never owe any financial institute a single cent,always paid in full for all my cc usage before due although my usage are heavy.
Also,I do submit my income proof and income tax receipt to them, at least few times above their annual income requirement.
Just can't accept their so call internal policy. mad.gif
Never mind, the worst I open FD account at the bank and apply for cc secured by FD.

Hi,
It's only my hobby collecting cc, I m not a cc approval proffesional anyway. PBB denied my cc application recently,it's the only issuer that denied my cc application in my life.
But I can share my experiance to u and hope it helps.
Look for CIMB,Ambank,MBF,UOB,RHB,SCB. They r deperate to expend their cc members volume nowadays. Mayb it's more ezy to get approval from them.
Citi,HSBC,MBB has stricter cc policy compare to other issuers, they usually target on other issuer's cc holders for longer vintage of membership.
I hav no problem with Alliance Bank,1st time application already approved. The CL given also surprised me,it's higher than the cc I used to pledge the application.
cc approval sometimes depend on ur luck,it's hard to judge which issuer ezy to approve ur application.
However,keep good repayment record is the most important thing for cc. It'll affect ur future cc applications.

Anyway,wish u good luck. smile.gif

Some banks such as Ambank accept other credit card at least 6 months old (Ambank write this in their application form). I do not know about RHB but 12 months credit cards not really necesary.
*

[/quote]

Yup,agreed.
PBB also stated they accept pledge cc application if u hav hold other cc for at least 6 months.
But they denied my application,even I can proof them whatever they want. Lastly,found the reason due to their internal cc policy. But Amex approved my plat charge card recently,really not understand a higher requirement cc can approved but for the lower requirement being denied.
As I say, cc approval sometimes depend on luck other than u r qualified bcoz issuer's still can denied issue cc to u without need to assign any reason.

Came back from MATTA fair today with an information. In case, anyone wanting to apply for the Worldcard from CIMB/DA using their existing cc, you will need as preexisting credit limit

- 100K for CIMB WorldCard (I think RockIron mentioned this before)
- 80K for DirectAccess WorldCard
*
Not me, it's brother Reventon that mentioned.
Yup,to apply CIMB WMC,existing cc with CL at least 80k-100k are needed.
Or might pledge using Amex plat charge card.

Opps ... made that correction. My highest limit is still a fair bit to go before hitting the min 80k. Well, just need to work harder to achieve it but with the economic crisis - it is going to take a bit longer to get my increment the next round.

Try focus ur spending with CIMB plat cc.
Maybe a 100k spending a year might let them invite u the WMC.

It is actually RM60k to try for VISA infinite. I know coz my own limit exceed 40K and it is still not enough to go for SCB VISA infinite.
*
Why not u apply an Amex gold charge card and keep big spending on it.
They will offer u to upgrde to Amex plat charge card if they track ur spending record, then I think u will be able to apply any cc in the market with it by pledge application.

All Sifu, please share any other way to increase your CL besides you really earn a lots of money.....

I m not sifu but can share my experiance with u.
Other than u hav high income(but this is the fastest way to increase CL bcoz issuer always want u to proof ur income if u apply for increasing CL),huge spending,good repayment record and membership vintage might help u to get auto increase of cc CL.
Focus ur spending in single issuer and hold the cc for longer time(show them ur loyalty). I think u should get CL increase nearly every year.
When I was age of 21 few years back,my 1st cc CL only RM2k.... doh.gif Today my lowest cc CL was RM45k and highest already 6 digits.
