haha.. your post same like mine before..

don't take that ambank offer. its a disaster. they charge 8.99% X 2 / 24 months upfront

right now i prefer the public bank. at least they charge 5.00% upfront on the first month only (for 24 months repayment period)
anybody knows about affinbank balance transfer rate? its not stated on their website.
*
Yeah I'm also interested to know about Affin Bank Balance Transfer plan.


Anyone tried to combine 3 credit card into 1 balance transfer for Public Bank BT Plan? I called up their CS, the guy say max is 2 cc. But he said you may try but it's solely up to the management to decide. Anyone successfully combined 3 or more cards for 1 balance transfer?

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

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.
*
I used to hold PBB cc 2 yrs ago. Then i canceled it. recently i applied again and I got it. PBB is my first credit card last time. Their the first bank to approve my card. Maybe because I have a saving accounts and car loan with them. Last month when i applied again, I got the card but my colleague who applied together with me din get his. after reading this, i assume his card is rejected due to too many cc on hands. I think he got more than 10 active cc rclxub.gif

I really want to combine 3 cards for the BT, PBB CS told me to try but they dare not guarantee anything bcos the usual case is 1-2 cards.

Knowing What is Good Customer Service Satisfaction

When was the last time you had encountered an unforgettable customer service experience?

By skipping all the boring lines with the operator –“I am informing you the status of my credit card. I have applied two month before. ... return me the copies of my personal documents as they had not issued me ...”

I recently submitted a YOUNIQUE card (a cc that allow you to personalized your own credit card benefits & design!) application through Alliance Bank – You:nique website.

And guess what, Alliance Bank customer service actually called me personally to inform me that my approval took longer than usual because the submitted design was ‘cover-up’ the standard requirement “BIN number” as well as the “Valid Thru”… & now finally they got clearance from MasterCard to proceed as usual.

Most importantly I was told that I will getting my You:nique card in 3 day times via Pos Malaysia!!! Wooohooo!!!!

Seriously! First class customer service with fantastic credit card!! biggrin.gif

Experience it yourself: http://www.alliancebank.com.my/younique/

I have applied alliance younique for more than 1mth dy still did not get sad.gif

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

I thot Citibank & MBB also quite desperate? blink.gif

U mean Citibank or Maybank simply upgrade cc? For my experience, i phone MBB CS and ask them to upgrade my classic to gold, but they don't want.

By the way, the combination of Petronas and AMEX is awsome point collection, u get 5x point from Petronas VISA and 2x point from AMEX and both can calculate together.
*
When i applied for MBB Petronas card, they keep pushing me to take the Amex as well. begging like heel that I almost scream into the phone receiver. So irritated shakehead.gif

Citibank automatically send me a gold card & upgrade my CL 2 yrs ago. That time i just had my clear card for less than a year.

Any AmBank credit card user here?

Last week i heard from the promoter from Ambank that Am Bank credit card is offering Petrol 5% rebate promotion.. is that true? she said those existing member already got the brochure already. but from the application form.. i did not see anything about this.

I'm having Ambank True card. nvr heard of such promo so far. Maybe it's not applicable for True card.

Affin bank cc is offering 0% interest on balance transfer for 12 months. No other conditions attached. Anyone can confirm this?

also they are offering 9.99% interest on outstanding balance with prompt minimum payment monthly.

I saw it on their online application form.

Just a quick question,

anyone knows when MBB is going to have the treatpoints fair again? i know they use to do it in Mid Valley like once or twice a year?

want to change a backpack, but dunno if treatpoints fair will have better points discount or not. or is it better to just go to their center in 1U? I read b4 somewhere in this thread that some of the forumer change items in their 1U outlet for cheaper points than normal. But I not sure where exactly is their location in 1U. nvr noticed it b4 sweat.gif

This is the AMEX rule, if a year can use more than RM4K in your card, then will consider worth lor, otherwise better don't activate this options. 2x Treatpoint better.
@zenwell
The MBB Fair will be held around June-July this year, Mid Valley, but the actual date i have no idea. Maybe you can check their website around end of May, should got 1.

I saw a Maybank at 1st floor of High Street of 1U, you will see it if you take the escallator up to 1st floor, not sure is that the one you looking for.
*
Oh ok thanks for the info.

btw, I'm a relatively new user of MBB cc. Do you guys think the treat fair points discount wll be a lot more cheaper than normal time or is it for certain items only?

No ! No such thing. The closest you could get to cash rebate is the Alliance Bank Cash Back cc (up to 2.0% for Plat card, capped @ RM5K per month spendings) and SCB Business Platinum. (0.5%) CIMB definately does not have rebate or double points for overseas purchases.

huh?! like that means my only option is use MBB to collect points lor sad.gif

..ya ya, sure got TnC; if i'm not mistaken,

- need to SMS
- in block of RM50 and RM100 for petrol and groceries respectively
- they're giving away RM100,000 worth of rebates only per month, meaning first come, first serve
-each cardmember can get only RM50 max per month
-AmBank True and Insurance, and supp card not eligible
..if like this, come every first Weds of the month for 4 months (May to Aug), i will charge RM150 to fill up petrol and another RM350 for groceries, then my quota of the month habis already.. and i'll use AMEX after that for the 8X points...

my company bank-in our salary to CIMB bank. recently myy colleague who is a fresh grad wants to apply cc and she applied for CIMB petronas. besides asking for all the standard documents like payslip etc, they also ask for her printed bank account statement. since our salary is banked into the same bank, why can't they just checked from the system? So troublesome to go to the bank to get a printed statement? Does every first time cc application need to provide this? I don't think i had to last time.
