The Macbook starts at US$1,299 (RM4,785.52), while the watches range from US$350 (RM1,291.39) to US17,000 (RM62,602.50)!<\/p>\n<p>The hefty price tags will no doubt have many Apple fans dreaming up drastic measures to get their hands on the gadgets again. Instead of parting with a kidney, why not try these cool credit card hacks:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Take-up-an-easy-payment-plan\"><\/span><b>1) Take up an easy payment plan<br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/apple1.png\" alt=\"apple1\" width=\"600\" height=\"290\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Malaysians have the happy option of Easy Payment Plans (EPP) when it comes to credit cards. These cool repayment schemes allow you to repay the purchases you made with a credit card in instalments at little or no interest at all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14626\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable1.png\" alt=\"macbooktable1\" width=\"527\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable1.png 527w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable1-300x96.png 300w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable1-150x48.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The trick is to be disciplined. If you pay the instalments promptly and make sure you adhere to all the terms and conditions, you will not be charged a single cent in interest throughout the entire repayment period.<\/p>\n<p>EPPs offer plenty of benefits, including the ability to pay for (mostly) vital big-ticket items spread out over a few months without incurring hefty interest charges over a period of time.<\/p>\n<p>With an EPP, you also have the option of using the lump sum you would otherwise use to fund a purchase for savings or investing purposes instead. For instance, putting your cash in fixed deposit will help you earn some extra pocket money.<\/p>\n<p>However, make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/4-things-about-0-easy-payment-plan-you-should-know-about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read the fine print<\/a>. Some credit cards charge an upfront amount and administrative charges, while others require you to make a minimum purchase of a certain amount to benefit from the EPP.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Look-into-balance-transfer\"><\/span><b>2)\u00a0<\/b><b>Look into balance transfer<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14632\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/apple3.png\" alt=\"apple3\" width=\"600\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/apple3.png 600w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/apple3-300x145.png 300w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/apple3-103x50.png 103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/credit-card\/balance-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">balance transfer<\/a> is another option you can consider if you plan to make a hefty purchase, but do not intend to shell out more on interest. What a balance transfer card does is, it lets you shift any balance you have accumulated from one card or cards, into a credit card that offers a very low or 0% interest rate for a specified period, and sometimes there may be an upfront fee.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, let us assume that you\u2019ve bought a brand new Macbook for RM5,000 with a credit card at a typical rate of interest of 15%. From there, you can opt to sign up for a balance transfer credit card that offers a lower interest rate, and lets you work off your repayment plan at 0% interest.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14627\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable2.png\" alt=\"macbooktable2\" width=\"527\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable2.png 527w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable2-300x141.png 300w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/macbooktable2-106x50.png 106w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best 0% balance transfer cards usually offer 0% on new purchases for at least six months. If you\u2019re not in debt, you can take advantage of this and take on some life-improving purchases or projects. You can pay the balance off over time and not incur any additional financial charges.<\/p>\n<p>The trick is to make sure that you pay the required payment punctually each month. Otherwise, the standard interest rate will be applied on your balances.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Make-full-use-of-your-credit-card-privileges\"><\/span><b>3) Make full use of your credit card privileges<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/creditcard1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14634 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.imoney.my\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/creditcard1.png\" alt=\"creditcard1\" width=\"600\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/creditcard1.png 600w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/creditcard1-300x145.png 300w, \/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/creditcard1-103x50.png 103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can make the most of the discounts and privileges your credit card offers just by getting one that best complements your lifestyle and spending habits.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazada.com.my\/cimbweekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CIMB Bank cardholders get to enjoy 10% discount on weekends<\/a> when they make a purchase on Lazada (on certain products).

Also keep a lookout for cards that give you consistent rewards. If you use your credit cards the right way, you will get rewarded on your spending.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>It\u2019s not difficult to find the best card to fit your lifestyle.
