Al Rahji Debit Card And PayPal

Published October 19, 2007 in Paypal. 9 Comments

The entire blogosphere or at least among those who make money online blogging got excited when PayPal announced that they allow PayPal withdrawal into some credit and debit cards. Everyone started trying their available credit and debit cards to see if they worked. Those that failed started looking forward to applying a new card.

For an almost complete and growing list of credit cards and debit cards that either does or does not work with PayPal, check out Steven Wong’s blog.

Earlier, I had a choice between Public Bank Visa Electron debit card and Al Rahji debit card. I chose the former thinking that Public Bank must be more established. Another reason although unimportant is that I felt that their debit cards look a lot nicer than Al Rahji’s.

Anyway, my Public Bank debit card application seems to be taking forever! The nice gentleman that spoke to me the first day sounded really helpful and gave me the optimism that Public Bank is the right choice. However, the consequent calls are nothing close.

It is no secret that the service provided by Public Bank sucks. Just read the two posts below to find out why.

Despite sending my application personally using express courier service to Public Bank’s HQ, my application isn’t even entered into the system yet. I have no choice but to try out Al Rahji. They do not have a bank in my area so I called up their customer service to ask if I can apply through postal. Unfortunately, it is not possible. All application needs to be done in their office. I might make a trip down to KL next week or so to get it done.

Things I learned about Al Rahji from customer service

  1. You will get an ATM card when you apply for the savings account. This ATM card can be used as a debit card to receive funds and make online payment.
  2. The logo on their card is a Visa Plus sign. The lady told me that Al Rahji currently has no link with any other banks. Therefore, all withdrawal of money from other bank’s ATM machines will be charged RM10. The RM10 charge is for the Visa Plus charges.
  3. When your Al Rahji debit card is credited with cash, it goes straight into your savings account. Therefore, you do not need to manually transfer it “out from your debit card”.
  4. Al Rahji has sweet-voiced lady customer service personnel, unlike Public Bank. Pfffff.

YouTube New Default Player

Published October 19, 2007 in Tech News. 2 Comments

YouTube has been experimenting with a new website layout and player for some time now. I just noticed that all the videos that I embed in my blogs are played in their new player.

YouTube new default player

Checking the YouTube website, I couldn’t find the link to “revert back to the old design”. Does this mean YouTube has finally crossed over to their new designs? I have been using their new design for quite some time so I do not know when the actual transition took place.

The new layout and player looks more “Web 2.0″ and I like them very much. If only they could fight off the recording companies and allow us to embed all music videos freely in our blogs, I would like them more. *sigh*

Exabytes Launch Business Blog

Published October 18, 2007 in Tech News. 2 Comments

I am not sure if there are any web hosting companies that have their own business blog. Well, at least I didn’t notice any before this.

Exabytes has just launched their Exabytes blog yesterday. From their first post, they mentioned that they will update their blog with latest happenings, promotions and other latest buzz in the world of web hosting.

I think it is a good idea for companies to have their own blog. Having a blog enables businesses to get closer to their current and potential customers. Check out their latest trade-in your hosting promotion.

You may also want to have a look at the post about this on how you can maximize your benefits from Exabytes’ trade-in promotion.

Wanted Dead Or Alive $2000 Cash Reward

Published October 18, 2007 in Interesting. 2 Comments

There are some web tools that display some findings based on some aspects in your blog. Although the end result may not be accurate or even logic sometimes, it is still fun to play with.

I found this service at JustSayHi that allows you to check your blog to see what reason it is wanted for and how much the cash reward is. I gave it a try a few times and found that although the cash reward remains the same, the reason for it being wanted changes every single time.

The HTML code provided doesn’t seem to work in my blog. Below are screenshots of the wanted poster of all three of my blogs.

WANTED FOR THE PURPOSEFUL HUMPING of an AWESOME MULES’S BUTTOCKS

I swear this is a lie. I have never humped any awesome mule’s buttocks before. In fact, I have never humped any buttocks before. I swear!

I was a little disappointed knowing that I am only wanted for $2000 max. However, I checked with John Chow and John Cow and notice they were wanted for a little less than me. I have no idea what the algorithm is like but who cares? At least I know my blogs are more notorious than theirs.

How much is your blog wanted for?
