~I recalled the time when I first got to know what a credit card is.
~I also recalled how I picked up an application form trying to get a credit card.
~I remembered the application was not successful.
~And I remembered there was nothing to gain from applying for a card.
But now, things are different!
To encourage new credit card signups, applying for a credit card comes with some perks nowadays.
Among the different perks available, one of the uprising and also the one that I prefer most, is the cash credit into the card account upon successful card application.
Take for example Maybank’s credit card application still ongoing now until 24 February 2012.
They are offering $50 cash credit + $20 CapitaVoucher if you sign up using online method.
However, there are a few restricting terms accompanied with this “application offer”.
1) Limited to the first 1,000 applicants
2) You need to swipe your card aka make a purchase with your newly arrived credit card for the credit to take place.
But nonetheless, it is more frequent to see accompanying perks when it comes to applying for a credit card. So before you pick up the form and start applying for it, check out your possible perks.
