reporting in, bravo on the Maybankard 2 AMEX

This Maybankard 2 Amex will kill Amex Gold and Platinum credit card. The negative impact to Amex charge card is not as big as the disadvantages to Amex credit card, as some big spenders still prefer using charge card due to unlimited CL.

Hopefully Amex will revise its points and cash back rates to match those benefits given by Maybankard 2 Amex, so that we do not need to change our existing Amex credit cards. Besides, having the compulsory and useless Maybankard 2 VISA/MC is deemed a burden.

Only one credit card tax is charged anyway. So it won't affect much really.

Just don't like to see another card in the cold storage, especially with that ugly logo.

No. v3 is correct.

May I know are the points from Amex Gold cannot transfer to Maybank2? Must redeem all 1st before change?

Must clear all because Amex Gold is on a different system (Membership Rewards) while Maybank2 is on Treatpoints.

It is easy to clear MR points as we can redeem cash. As for TP, it is not as attractive as MR. We can only redeem physical stuffs and shopping vouchers.

Agreed on this point... hopefully TP can be turn to cash in due time ;-)

The sad thing is, in the savings calculation by Maybank, they had assumed 200TP = RM1, whereby the actual fact is the TP were not convertible to cash. So it's a bit of confusion when I looked into the savings sheet.

It's good if MBB has a plan to introduce 200TP = RM1 in the future.

I had checked with a CS & another sales lady at 1U roadshow, the new Maybankard 2 AMEX does not entitle for KLIA or LCCT premier lounge access. If this is really the case, still worth keeping the AMEX Plat cc.

As far as I know, this Maybankard 2 Amex does not give complimentary access to airport lounges at this point in time. Better edit the first page to avoid misleading readers.

noted. this was originally based on feedback from Guan Teik.

Just applied the Maybankard 2 through the shopping center card agent...........

Have any1 made rough calculations on how much 1TP is worth? Most of the RM100 vouchers need +-20k TPs?

Parkson voucher is below 10k for RM50

1 TP = RM0.0045, based on redemption of 11,000 points for RM50 shopping voucher.

1 MR = RM0.005, based on redemption of 200 points for RM1 cash back.

MR is definitely better than TP.
