Cut For Service

Here are some updates about the credit card tax. Good news if you're a Citibank customer. In order to reduce the exodus of its customer base, Citibank has started to offset a fraction of the credit card tax for 2010. They're willing to absorb it all if you do a little something for them. You scratch my back, and I'll scratch your's. Here's the deal:

Call to cancel your card.

Their staff will call you to ascertain the reason of cancellation.

Do tell them it's due to the oppressive credit card tax.

They'll offer you a promotion where they'll rebate you 10% of your credit card charges in the promotion period. The maximum rebate is MYR30.

If you're a cheapskate and decide that you do not want to pay the remaining MYR20 as well, then you can register 2 extra auto-billing accounts for a total cash reward of MYR20.


Voila! The tax has been waived.
