AFFIN credit card campaign: balance transfer, fee waiver, and cinema tickets
  1. What happened1/6

    AFFIN runs five credit card offers; two close in ten days

    AFFIN Bank is running a multi-offer credit card campaign. The headline number: a 0% balance transfer for 12 months saves about RM1,088.51 in interest on a RM10,000 balance compared to staying at 18% p.a.

    The lifetime annual fee waiver and the Buy 1 Free 1 cinema tickets at GSC and TGV both close on 31 October 2026. The balance transfer and the 0% Cash On Call run to 31 December 2026.

  4. How it affects your wallet3/6

    What the offers are worth in ringgit

    e.g. On a RM10,000 balance, the 0% transfer saves about RM1,088.51 in interest over 12 months versus paying 18% p.a. The lifetime fee waiver removes a charge that typically runs RM150 to RM250 a year on mid-tier cards.

    The cinema offer gives one free ticket per cardholder per day on Fridays and Saturdays, capped at 100 tickets per cinema per day and 5,000 per cinema for the whole campaign. e.g. At about RM20 a ticket, one free movie a week works out to roughly RM1,040 a year if the offer is renewed.

  5. Why it matters4/6

    The condition that rules out existing cardholders

    The 0% Cash On Call (6-month tenure) is for new-to-bank customers only. If you already hold an AFFIN credit card, you can still use Cash On Call, but at a one-time upfront charge of about 6%, or a flat 7.4% p.a. over 24 months.

    The 3% cashback cap is RM100 per month only if the previous month's balance was RM8,000 or more. Below that, the cap is RM50. The 0% Easy Payment Plan splits a purchase into 3 to 60 months at zero interest at more than 5,000 partner merchants.
