Public Bank Credit Card Transactions
Filed in: Life Log — August 17th, 2007
It has been 3 weeks since I received my first credit card — Public Bank Visa Gold. I spent over RM3000 in less than a month on both online and offline credit card transactions.

The first transaction (RM2,335) was the online purchase of Dell LCD projector on behalf of my brother. In fact, I don’t think it was an online credit card processing.
I submitted my order at Dell Malaysia website and received a call from Public Bank for transaction confirmation while I was still sleeping at the noon. Few days later, I received a letter about the credit card order.
Then, my brother received the Dell LCD Projector 3 or 4 days later.
The 2nd and 3rd credit card transactions (RM500 + RM349.86) were part of my Blogathon 2007 donation to two charities, local and international. Both donations were done online.
Sushi King opened a new branch at BP Mall, Batu Pahat. I went there with a friend and paid the bill (RM42.74) with my credit card. It was my first time using credit card at a offline merchant. It took about a minute, signed and off. No small changes.
It is very easy to spend money with a credit card. I heard of many cases of stole credit card. But we only receive transaction records and bill at the end of the month. I feel insecure about that.
Therefore, I went to Public Bank and asked to add my credit card account into my existing PBeBank (Public Bank online banking) account. It was activated in a day. Now I can check my card transactions anytime!
