canceled a few credit cards...

in the past few days, I've canceled 3 of my credit cards (Standard Chartered & RHB) as I have not been using them all these while, and I see no point in keeping them. rather than risk forgetting to cancel them before the banks charge me with those annual fees, I canceled them first instead.


punched a few holes through the magnetic strips and smart chips on the cards, and send them back to the bank.

Also, it is a known fact that having too many credit cards, be it active or not reduces a person's financial credibility to the banks when it comes to applying loans, typically car loans and house loans. Therefore, canceling a few, and keeping just one or two which one uses all the time would be more than sufficient. I'm going to cancel another few more soon - namely my credit cards from Citibank, Alliance Bank, HSBC and two (Mastercard and Amex) from Maybank and just keep my CIMB and Maybank Visa.

Paypal Withdrawal...

I made a withdrawal from my Paypal account to my Public Bank Visa Electron on the 20th last month. The total withdrawal was US$324 after Paypal deduct US$5 as transaction fee.

It only took 5 working days for the transaction to go through, and my account was credited with RM1055.41, the conversion rate being 3.257, not too bad laaa...

now you'd probably know what did I spend on with the extra cash huh??

yeap, spent it on getting the Seiko Chronograph, thanks to all the paid posts that I wrote in my blog all these while..... :)

new HSBC Visa

Without much of a notice, I've been using my HSBC Visa for the last 4 years. A few days back, I received a delivery from HSBC, and inside the envelope was my new replacement card as the current one expires in November 2007. I cut the old card in half, through the chip, and then signed on the new one. :)))


this has been in my wallet for the past 4 years, and was the card I pull out for payments almost every time... so I guess it's bye-bye for now...


da new card. expiry date extended to 2011...
