Good luck.
Hope you won't get surprise when cards arrive (include cards that you didn't apply)

I don't expect 10000pts=RM50 no more.
No doubt, in the future, the points required to redeem RM50 will continue to rise. 11k, 11.5k, 12k...and so on...
However, I think 10000pts=principal card GST will remain.

other than GST Principal, 10k TP for RM50 still available for voucher of:
Sony / Photobookmart / Metrojaya / Machines / MyDin.

while RM50 voucher for HSL and Harvey Norman require 9700 TP.
Sogo & MPH 9500 TP.
Parkson 9300 TP.
Robinson 9000 TP.

Jusco RM100 voucher = 20k Tpoints

Parkson RM50 voucher = 9300 Tpoints

Metrojaya RM50 voucher = 9000 Tpoints

Treatpoints is not "that" bad

I am not quite interested in vouchers. I want CASH.
The only thing I like TP is the point redemption fair at SenQ, it is indeed very attractive.

using mbb for 4 years now, never heard mbb can redeem TP for cash like MR

even hsbc also can redeem cash, rm50 for 12.5k points ~

Well it's OK for me. I can just wait for redemption fair at SenQ

Partipating outlets at 1 Utama can use TP to pay for your purchase. It is known as Rcube or something like that

rate is not that great
For every conversion of RM10 the points equivalent is 2100

https://www.maybankard.net.my/catalogue/pro...=102&pro_id=542

If not mistaken, SenQ conversion rate for TP is RM1 = 190TP

the redemption fair at Senq that I mentioned was not kind of "Pay With Points", but "Redeem electrical appliances with lower points than usual".

Yeap, for now Rcubed at 1U only. 2100TP = RM10. With 5X TP that's equivalent to 2.381%

Sorry guys for giving the wrong information on KLIA lounge. This was the information given by the AMEX CS on the 18 Jan. Today I called them back to check on this after reading the post here and they said Maybankard2 does not entitle for the KLIA lounge. It's worth to keep the AMEX Plat card then.

no harm done. What thing Malaysian CS lacks is consistency

Finally, finished my article and review on Maybanard 2 Cards for my blog at http://creditcardsmalaysia.blogspot.com/

Below is the main gist of the entire article and for those not wanting to waste time reading it at my blog:

Benefits of Maybankard 2 Cards which I feel is worth repeating:

I) 2 Credit Cards for a single GST of RM50 or shall we say RM25/each.

II) Free Lifetime Annual Fees - no conditions, no need to swipe minimum times or spend a minimum amount annually.

III) Travel Insurance - this is great as can use the card to purchase tickets and get 5X rewards points and 5% cash rebate (max RM50 but still better than nothing).

IV) 5X Treats Points anywhere in the world plus monthly cap of RM50 cash back for every Saturdays and Sundays. Note that it was mentioned Principal card holder only, better check if Supp cards also enjoy the 5% cash back when you apply for it.

V) The Visa or MasterCard,you can keep in your drawer as it only gives 1X point for every Ringgit. (But if you want 0% installment plans by merchants, then this card may be of use).


Comparison between Maybank 2 American Express Card and OCBC Titanium MasterCard

MBB 2 Amex gets 5X Reward Points Everyday, Anywhere and Anytime vs. OCBC TMC Nothing, Nil, None, Zero;

MBB 2 Amex Free Lifetime Annual Fees vs. OCBC TMC need to swipe 12 times;

MBB 2 Amex GST must pay (but with 5X points only need to spend RM2K to get 10,000 Treats Points to offset GST ) vs. OCBC TMC must pay but auto waived if spend RM10K annually;

MBB 2 Amex 5% cash back on weekends anywhere vs. OCBC TMC 5% cash back anytime but not everywhere;

MBB 2 Amex offers Travel Insurance vs. OCBC none; and last but not least

MBB 2 Amex overseas transactions are subjected to 2.5% Admin Charge but with 5X maybe this is acceptable vs. a lower overseas conversion rate with OCBC TMC (do note again that the RM50 cap which may limit the usefulness of OCBC Titanium MasterCard for overseas spending).

BOTH MBB 2 Amex and OCBC Titanium cash rebate is capped at RM50/month
