Jiang, jiang, jiang!!!
Finally I get the hello kitty debit card in hand. ;) Due to my "kiasu-ness" I applied this card in no time, after the week of new launching debit card from Hong Leong bank. This card is limited edition. There is a limit quota in every branches. Well don't get me wrong, I'm not a Hello Kitty freak! Actually I do really hate cat and I even hate copycat. And it sounds kinda funny, hello kitty is acceptable in my list. This hello kitty card is too cute to be resist. You don't see and find any cute or special debit, credit or atm cards in the market, do you? Even the day-to-day Public Bank debit card not as cute as this one, I bet. To be honest, before applying for this card, there are so many questions that I'm hesitating about. I doubt that you do too. Unless you apply blindness-ly due to overload of cuteness. For me I do not want to waste or pay extra yearly fee. Although the amount is not huge. Besides, I already got 1 debit card and 1 atm card. p/s, I'm still poor for credit card. >.<
Some Q&A to share:
Q1, does this card provide any benefits for swiping? Any rebates or discounts?
Ans, if you wanna enjoy rebates or discounts, my advice go for other debit or credit cards then. Unless you don't care about the conditions. You only get points for what you spend. This card is more on savings purpose. As the bank provides different hello kitty gifts for different range of saving. The more money you save, also the bigger chance you of winning Suzuki Swift home.
Q2, How much is the yearly fee?
Ans, Well is kinda cheap that what I expect for debit card. Is similar to ATM card yearly charges.
For more info, you should check on the sites or ask the person whom in charge. (:
Wonder why I still apply? Since it sounds not really worth. Well simple, I wanna separate my savings and expenses into two different accounts. Since this card is more on saving purpose. If you do know me very well, I'm consider a shopaholic. I may lost of control in spending sometimes. >.< I will keep hunting for branded stuff. I know it sounds very bad. *slap me harsh for that* In conclusion, I may not sure how much I have spend or save for every month. As my salary all goes in to my debit card and I just swipe, swipe, swipe whenever I shop. So from now onwards, I need to self control and limit myself. I'm gonna bank in my savings to this cute lil card. My chapter of savings shall begin. Looking forwards for it. *wink*
The process:
Friday was kinda fun, rush and insane. I was like playing dash dash games like those diner dash, wedding dash games which we used to play in the computer. After the lunch bell rang, me and one of my friend aka colleague, ran out the office at once. No time to waste. During lunch hour, you see traffic jams everywhere, especially at town areas. For sure others might wondering what the hell is going on with us, we two. As normally, I don't go out for lunch, I have my lunch at the office. And that entire day, I even skipped my lunch because of this card. LOL. Luckily I didn't suffer gastric pain. :D Lunch time was the only time where we can get to apply. As you know banks don't open on weekends! On weekdays, I have to do the same, boring routine which is work. That's why I don't have any extra time to spare. Is glad to say everything was working great and perfect, we managed to settle everything in time, reach the office in time.*Happy and full of satisfaction* What a nice experience of the day. :)Closer view of my card
