I checked the website and you are right it is not annual fee. You could call them up directly and check (highly recommended) coz that is a lot of money for the Yearly Facility Charges even for a classic card. (RM 2.4k)

Again ... there are other cc products which are much more transparent on their charges.

other cc products you means is?
i applied the cimb classic then he asked me to apply the islamic also. he said no monthly interest. after applied only i found out this Yearly Facility Charges. =.=
tomorrow gonna go cimb and ask again. blink.gif

Most cc agents (or even banks staff sometimes) they get something when they do sign a customer up for the credit card product. Agents especially will be very aggresive to promote to you coz they got quota to meet and it is also their commission. It can be very compelling for them to do so as they can obtain up to RM20 per classic card, up to RM50 per gold card and up to RM100 per platinum card.

It sounds like the guy ask you to just sign up for 2 cards whereas there is no apparent/compelling reason to obtain 2 cards. Read the hidden trick - the person can claim he/she sign you up for 2 cards and get 2 quota/rewards/etc (whatever you wanna call it).

I will not sign up for 2 cards these days whatever the agents tells me coz I would rather carry 1 card each from 2 different banks. Plus, you can get best of best by combining the features of different cards.

Eg. Best cash rebate card is Alliance Bank cc but you see Alliance Bank does not offer any petrol rewards cards. If you want best petrol reward credit card then it is either MBB Petronas or CIMB Petronas. Similarly, you don't see MBB offering cash rebates in any of their product stable don't they ? (This is just a simple example)

Hey hye,
thanks for your great feedback.
Just now the cimb called to verified the application , i asked her to cencel the cimb islamic CC already. Applied one classic only can already.

For the petrol rebate. I never use petronas. Im using Shell. too bad. So, only Citibank got Shell rebate right?

I'm talking from my experience when I did BT with Citibank about 5-6 years ago. Did they ever revise it ? NO ! It doesn't benefit the consumer but it sure does benefit the bank !
