Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card Annual Fees

I still remember i applied Public Bank Visa Electron debit card since the beginning of year 2007, at that time i used it to verify my personal paypal account. And, i found that it bring convenient for me to withdraw money from paypal to my Public Bank debit card account.

The way of using debit card is totally different from credit card, you will have more better financial management because you need to have enough money in the debit card before you can make any purchase.

My Advise For All Malaysian

Since our government implement the latest credit card scheme, which every principal credit card will be charged RM50 and supplementary card holder charged RM25, then now it’s great chance for you to own debit card. Besides that, the process of applying debit card is very easy and you no need to have income requirement.

Do You Think RM50 Credit Card Tax Should Be Dropped?

cancel_credit_card

As we can see, the number of credit cards usage had been increased since year 1997. At the same time, the number of people get into debt also been increased. Our government had responded to that issue and proposes that principal credit card service tax of RM50 per year and supplementary credit card service tax of RM25 per year be imposed in order to encourage our citizen to have prudent spending. It will be effective from 1st January 2010.

Many people are not happy with that suggestion. This is bad news for those who own multiple credit cards and it is advisable to do cancellation of their card so that they won’t be taxed next year. Just imagine how crazy of our government: RM50 (service tax) + RM50 (annual fee usually more than that amount), this is only for single card. If you have more, the amount will be crazy!

However, this service tax will not be imposed immediately on January 2010 for all credit cards. For those existing credit card holders and their renewal date is at the end of the years. Then, they still got time to enjoy benefits.

I heard some of my fellow blogger said that they cannot get what they want. The Cathay Cinema staff always can’t get the latest information update from the Cathay Cinema official website. Besides, they do not have systematic handling to most of the Cathay loyalty customer. What do you think? Did you face the same situation?

Maybank Amex Card Offers 5x Membership Points

maybankamex

Maybank American Express Gold Credit Card can give you up to 5x rewards point. Besides, American Express Gold Credit Card is the first in Malaysia to offer the lowest interest rate of 9% per year. However, the credit card holders need to make consistent minimum payments to enjoy the 9% interest rate instead of normal charges of 16% per year.

maybankamericanexpress

Based on what I’ve known, not many local banks offer AMEX card. As I know, Maybank offers it. AMEX is not popular because not many merchants accept it as well. Also, AMEX’s merchant charges are higher than VISA and MASTERCARD; so this is reason why a lot of shops doesn’t get AMEX merchant’s

Citibank Cash Back Credit Card

People will spend more with credit cards than cash. When one restaurant started to allow people to use credit cards, the average sale will be increased as well. I own multiple credit cards but currently concentrate on Citibank Cash Back credit card that provides me more privileges. Ideally, we should only pick the most suitable credit card for our lifestyle.
