Previously CIMB cc holders with over RM 75k credit limit entitled as Preferred customer, I wondered if it is still applicable now?

For MBB WMC, card holders entitled for priority service at any branch just by showing the cc itself.

Is that the MBB 2 AMEX and MBB 2 Visa can apply now..? or need to wait till April?

I notice from the website .... if so, then it's nothing different from the OCBC Titanium..

5% Weekend cash back² when spend on Maybankard 2 American Express Card.
²A cap of RM50 per customer (Principal Cardmember) per month

Just checked with MBB CS, Visa is available now but MC need to wait until April

CIMB used to be very aggressive two years back, but been very arrogant since last year. From housing loan to credit card.

wonder if we can convert existing maybank cc and amex gold cc to these 2 cards without the need to apply and submit application again?


Added on January 19, 2011, 10:09 pm

Just checked with CS. Can convert without the need to reapply. Just go to branch and submit the conversion form.

I also asked MBB CS but this officer said generic AMEX cc cannot be converted to this Maybankard 2 AMEX (with MBB logo). The officer also further explains that due to different point system, TP vs MR

There is one instance I received 8 characters security pin slip from PBB. However PBB denied having 8 characters, so in the end got another new card with another 6 characters security pin sent to me.

Maybankard 2 AMEX also entitled the 15% cashback promo then it is really unfair to existing AMEX holders. We cancel now & apply also we lose the previously accumulated cash back.

You can cancel later ma.. what mean by unfair.. Did you loss any if they give 15% cash back to Maybankard 2 AMEX?

Loss means existing AMEX holders already accumulate 15% cashback promo cannot convert to this Maybankard 2 AMEX immediately to enjoy 5x points & 5% cashback. Not to mention there is no conversion available from generic AMEX to this Maybankard 2, therefore needs to cancel. On top of tax I just paid the gst (for my generic AMEX Plat) right before this Maybankard 2 implemented, so means another round of gst if I cancel & reapply.

However those holding existing MBB Visa or MC are allowed to convert. This is verified by two officers at the 1U card center. However not too sure for those AMEX with MBB logo though.

since cant convert, just apply new lah.

so u will have current amex + mbk2 amex + mbk2 visa.
whats the prob?

again, ignore that gst  already paid, coz the new mbk2 amex can cover it back.

Been thinking this way too of getting the extra cc. The main problem is MBB does not offer flexibility to existing holders & their mind only thinking of wooing new customers. This is almost the same frustration I faced years back when I tried upgrading from gold to platinum but was declined again & again by MBB despite with other platinum cc reference. However during their MBB Treats Fair in Mid Valley, there were offering platinum (especially the Petronas one) like nobody business even for other gold card holders. In the end I terminated the gold & reapply for my current AMEX Plat, I feel better now as a renewed customer. But now again this Maybankard 2 conversion problem.

Let's see how it goes as I am holding way too many credit cards right now.

Do anyone know that booking air ticket via travel agent entitle for the cc insurance coverage? Or must we book directly from the airlines only entitle the coverage?

By the way, in a big dilemma whether to book with the Maybankard 2 AMEX (5x point + 5% rebate, cap at RM 50) or Maybankard World MC (5x point every RM 2 + insurance coverage of RM 2 million).

Is it normal for travel agents like Mayflower & Orex to charge extra for using cc as payment?

Previously I mentioned that the 3% (+2% for selected cardmembers) cashback given by OCBC did not tally with my calculation. Yesterday I made up my mind to file a dispute to the bank. The CS promised to investigate and would call back on the next day.

And yes, she did call back today. She said OCBC will credit back the rebate in next statement. Yoohoo!  rclxms.gif

Same thing here. So the extra 3% for online bill payment is on top of the RM 50 cap?

Try give a call to the MBB World MC customer service. My best experience with this CS hotline is 2 seconds wait time

Kids nowadays think only to ask and get instant answers.
No more searching and working hard for the information.  sweat.gif  Even when you tell them off they don't feel a thing.

Please avoid entertaining this request if such letter exist. Exclusive promotions/offer should remain exclusive and they are exclusive for a reason.

I do not see this as against the law of the country or anything in LYN. Good things are meant to be shared. Anyway it should be share via pm & not here though.
