I will only keep 2 credit cards i.e. Maybank Visa Petronas and AMEX Gold Credit. These 2 cards fulfill all my needs in the following manner:

1) I get 5X points when I fill up at Shell with my AMEX
2) I also get 5x points when I fill up at Petronas with my Maybank Visa Petronas card
3) Both are free for life
4) I can use my AMEX to purchase tickets at Air Asia. Can also use to buy MAS ticktes via tele-payment.
5) I can shop online globally using my AMEX card via the AMEX global online shopping portal called globaleshop.
6) I can use my Maybank Visa Petronas card to purchase stuff using Maybank EzyPay scheme. Merchants offerring Maybank EzyPay scheme are
plentiful.
7) I can shop at selected stores in One Utama using my Treats Points. I was told the number of stores are increasing.
8) I can make payment to both cards through M2U. So convenient.

A combination made in heaven..if I may say so.

Good for you

So have you decided what cards to keep yet?

I heard from my friends working in the banking industry that all other banks are waiting to see what action Maybank will take on the RM50 fee for credit/charge cards. Since Maybank is the biggest card issuer in Malaysia, the other banks will wait and see what "taiko" will do and they will follow.

Yes that is right. I was also told the same by Maybank staff. So if your Maybank card expires in 04/12....you will be charged the RM50 tax in April every year starting in April 2010.
