Talking

DiGi leaked some information about the coming promotions for its existing users.DiGi didn’t tell the exact things,but it threw out some questions.

From my guess,I think it should be as follow:

• A 3G modem at only RM10
• Brand new netbook at only RM600
• A smartphone less than RM500

DiGi says all will be disclosed tomorrow.So we need to wait another 12 hours to see whether the surprises are the ones we like.

If you are a credit card holder,I don’t think you will feel so strange on 0% interest.Actually a lot of banks take 0% interest as a big title for their promotions to encourage the existing customers to spend.Recently I got a similar ‘great’ deal from local H Bank introducing in the latest brochure.

In the brochure,it says I’m eligible to make cash advance within the available credit limit of the credit card with 0% interest.Read until this point,I had already raised up my questions:if 0% of interest,what will the bank earn?So I read carefully word for word and found this note:5% cash advance fee will be charged and the 0% interest rate is just for 6 months.

To some simple calculations,we just transfer 5% cash advance fee into annual interest rate,which will be 10%.Please don’t forget that 0% interest is only valid for the half year and after that period,the normal interest rate for credit balance will be charged.Thus,if people take this advantage to get some money,but unable to pay it up within 6 months,he will be charged more than 10% at the end.In fact,a few personal loan interest rates that banks offering are better than this.

Banks always play such tricks to bluff us,so we have to be smart enough to not let it work.

TO BE A SMART CONSUMER!

Microsoft has been providing some methods to pre-order Windows 7 at half-off prices,including Microsoft store.

And from now on until October 22,2009-the date that Windows 7 will officially be released,the customers who buy Windows Vista could entitle to get the same class product of Windows 7 free of charges.

Hurry up!The chance is limited.

PS:Asian people need not buy it immediately as the past experience tells me that the retail price in Asia will be much cheaper than American/European market and some promotional event will be held too.

Finally AirAsia removed the veil of that mystery.

Good job,AirAsia!

AirAsia seems to play some kind of mystery now.Currently in the index page,you could see this:

Well,it only displays a slice of the information here.From what I could see,I guess it may be the promotion for a new airplane with zero fares and other fees.Hopefully that will be the right one.

I think AirAsia will tell us the answer in this early morning.Let’s just wait here patiently!
