What is the benefits of using credit card?

Saturday, November 30, 2013

Is it more benefits or credit card will put you into trouble? If you say you can manage all your expenses and debts, no harm to use it and I think it would be better than paying by cash money! There are a lot of discussions on the pro and con using credit card


Advantages
1) No need to bring cash money
2) Minimize risks - safety reasons 
3) Buying through easy payment installments 
4) Treatpoints can be redeemed
5) Cash back 
6) Trace all expenses as credit card produce monthly statement
7) Insurance coverage with credit card purchasing
8) Retail protection
9) Some more discounts for certain things at shopping complex or outlets
10) Grace period meaning that there is time given to pay debt normally 20 days after purchasing - borrow for free
11) Emergency use and etc

And I think it will be saved money a lot! 

Disadvantages 

1) Debt traps
2) Hidden charges
3) High cost fee
4) GST tax for RM50/card
5) Overuse
6) Spending temptations
7) Credit card fraud
8) Interest rate
9) Annual fee

Bad management on the credit card will introduced bad credit. Meaning you have loan with a bank and accumulate the interest with high cost. 18% per year. There is no investment on earth something special rate such as credit card debts. I am sure bank will like you very much if you can pay on the minimum pay or 5% from total debts. This will end up you into big trouble and has potential on bankruptcy.  

If you use a credit card responsibly, I believed it's much better paying off with credit card. You decide!

Maybankcard 2 Amex + Mastercard

Maybankcard 2 Amex + Mastercard Platinum Card


I have these 2 cards which already in use for
2 years. What I can say Maybankcard 2 
Amex + Mastercard is the best credit card i have 
before! 

The benefits of Maybankcard 2 Platinum Card

1) One service tax GST RM50
2) 5x TreatsPoints for all spend on your Maybankard 2 American Express Card in Malaysia or anywhere else in the world except Government Bodies, Education Institutions and Insurance Provider (2x only) 
3) Enjoy a low Finance Charge of 8.88% p.a. on your outstanding retail balance
4) 5% weekend cash back 👍👍👍
5) Lifetime annual fee waiver
6) Minimum income shall be RM60k 
7) Travel insurance coverage and retail protection please go to Maybank web. 

What is so great about this Maybankcard 2 card? Do they have a best service among credit cards provider in the market? 

Let me tell you that the best of this Maybankcard 2 card is NOT only about cash rebate to their customer. Most credit card have only 0.5%~1% cash rebate offered. Maybankcard 2 card is all about their treatpoints offered to their credit card holders. Use Amex Card but not the master@visa card. Just keep your mastercard or visa card in drawer. 

Each ringgit we spend on Amex card will be 5x TreatsPoints. Before August 2013 the exchange rate for this card as; 

10,000 treatpoints = RM50 cash voucher
How much to spend to qualify 10,000 maybank treatpoints? We need to spend only about RM2,000 with Amex card! Meaning that we got some discount! 
50/2000 equals to 2.5%! 

But now maybank already revised the treatpoints: 

12,500 treatpoints = RM50 cash voucher 
We need to spend another RM500 to get RM50 cash voucher. 
50/2500 equals to 2%!

Anytime and anywhere! 👌

Even though maybank has increased the the treatpoints to redeem cash voucher but this card still offered the best package in market! 👍👍👍

But if you can make your purchase on weekend it will be better with another 5% cash back offers and it will be credited ti your account just in the end of each month. 

This will looks more handsomely returns with 7.5% if we make a purchase during weekend! But the cap or ceiling will be RM50 only for a month. Not bad not bad as I already compared to other credit cards! Meaning that your expenditure each month on the weekend cap at RM1,000 only. If your monthly expenditure more than RM1,000/month it is advisable that you get another credit card to make you profit all the way. 😆

Purchasing on weekdays Maybankcard 2 card Amex still offered the best as we still can get 2% (if we translate into discount) and there are no cap for this! 👍👍👍

I have some more credit cards but maybankcard 2 card offered the best package in market.  

This card mostly suit with my lifestyle! Maybe it not suit with your current lifestyle and you may explore to the other credit card features. 

I like to make a comparison with other credit cards in the Malaysia market in the future! Hope we all can benefits from this post! 

I am very happy to know if there are more credit cards offered competitive benefits as Maybankcard 2 card did!

How much PNB will announce ASB dividend 2013? Usually they will inform 2 weeks before year end. 


Last year PNB announced ASB dividend 2012 at 7.25 sen + 1.25 sen bonus if I am not mistaken. Total will be 8.5 sen which I think very very good for share holder. 

Hope this year not less than last year or at least same figure compared with last. Just pray for it. One month from now!

Standard Chartered Worldmiles Mastercard

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

Welcome give with sign up
25,000 Air Asia Big Point + 2600mAH battery bank


How to redeem Air Asia BIG Points welcome gift?

Redeem the points upon activation in 3 simple steps:

1) Register Air Asia BIG a/c at tune2big.com web

2) Activate your Worldmiles card and you will receive and sms from Standard Chartered within 2 weeks asking for valid 10 digit BIG Shot ID

3) Reply the sms instruction within 14 days and big point will be credited into your a/c within 8 days

Done! 

Calculation to redeem point

RM3 local spending = 1 bigpoint/ enrich
RM2 oversea spending=1 bigpoint/enrich


RM3000 = 1000 worldmiles = 1000 bigpoint

Meaning RM3/enrich mile?! Not very competitive?! How about others? Citibank, Maybank? 😅

Conclusion

Currently I am using Maybank credit card which is more attractive and more benefits compared with this SCB credit card! I will describe later on and will make comparison between them.

Annual fee & GST free for 1 year. 

Promotion still valid until 31st Dec 2013. Just want to get the 25,000 Air Asia big point free from SCB credit card. 

How much you have to spend to get 25,000 Air Asia big point?

If we spend locally, we have to spend RM3 x 25,000 = RM75,000!

Or oversea RM2 x 25,000 = RM50,000

That's too much.....

As I can see there is not much benefits from this SCB Worldmiles Mastercard credit card for routine purchase such as bill payment, shopping and there is no point will be given for petrol and insurans. 

But one thing you should explore is on the travelasia SCB credit card holder will have some discounted price if you like to travel anywhere in the world and the travel package looks attractive. Maybe this is the advantages or features of this card compared with others.

2600mAH Power Bank


How much this stuff cost? Everyday we will use it to recharge mobile phone since   This equipment can be brought to anywhere and make our live easier. We don't need to stay at home too long as this power bank has enough power to charge my mobile phone. 


The power bank costs is at RM48. But only can recharge my mobile phone one time. 

But I got this power bank for free only when you register with Standard Chartered Bank credit card.



The best part is we got 25,000 airasia big point which can bring us to Melbourne, Taipei, Hongkong, Bali for free. But we have to always check the airasia promotion.
