We were talking about TreatPoints, not Membership Rewards Points. TP and MR are 2 different programmes, thus having different catalogues.

yah, as zenquix mentioned, Maybankard 2 Cards expecially the American Express is much much better compared to AMEX Gold Credit Card.

click here to read my comparison of Maybankard 2 Cards American Express versus OCBC Titanium.

In the above mentioned post from my blog, someone commented that she called MBB CS and they confirmed that the 5% cash rebate does not apply to online transactions on weekends.

**Edited**
However if you prefer cash rebate over vouchers then the AMEX's American Express Gold CC would be the preferred choice but you be losing out on a lot of other transactions where Amex's Amex Gold CC only gives 2X MR as compared to MBB Dua's 5X TP.

I notice that the AMEX from Maybank2C gives 5x TP points and 5% weekend expenditure. Do i get both of them?

So assuming i spent RM1,000 that weekend, i get 5,000 TP and RM50 rebate?

Yes.. we get both benefits

Indeed they have.


Yes. Maybank practically is sabotaging its own products. First it was the VISA Petronas, then they come up with the AMEX Gold and now this Maybankard 2 Good to us though. My Treatpoints are growing like weeds

I seldom shop at Metrojaya and Robinson.

re-pack them as gifts.

or creatively, next time, instead of giving ang pows, pack vouchers instead!

can redeem points in AMEX for cash or not (eg, 200 points for RM1) ? points in AMEX is MR or TP ?

I think you can only use to offet your bill.

200MR for RM 1

Amex MR points can redeem 200 points for RM1, called Flexi Reward, you can call CS and redeem. Redeemed amount will be credited back to the card account. E.g Amex Gold Credit Card gives MR points.

Amex TP points so far can only redeem vouchers. E.g. Maybankard 2 Amex gives TP points.

thanks, planning to redeem mr points for cash then cancel it coz want to apply for mbb 2 card

Hello guys,

There's nothing wrong with the Maybank announcing whether the payout for the month has been achieved.
Pls note that they have changed their terms and condition during Dec'10 so it's no longer an obligation for them to do it.

so if apply the new Maybank dual card, can the current amex gold card points been transferred to the new account or need to fully redeem all?

reason is if apply new card i want to cancel existing one. save rm50

I don't think so since different point system.

AMEX Gold CC ---> MR
Maybankard 2 AMEX ---> TP

Just noticed from Maybankard FB, the early batch of the MBB2 Amex Platinum does not have the word 'Platinum' printed on the card.

Can I exchange the card with a "Platinum" printed on the card?

And the one to be issued next will have the word Platinum printed on it ?


Sure. Why not ? Just request for a replacement card Be sure to ask them to waive off the replacement card fee though.

I think I might replace from april onwards because I might change my maybank2 visa to master card

Should be...

Added on February 11, 2011, 11:48 pmWhat I concern is when we request for the replacement card, can we still keep the existing card as a collection. (Limited collection without "Platinum" word on it).

Do update us on this. I am thinking to change to MasterCard too when it becomes available.


Definitely can. All you need to do is to request for the replacement card over the phone and tell the CS your existing one has broken into two and that you have thrown it to the dustbin

FYI, i did not return my old HSBC credit cards last time when i requested for replacement cards due to me changing all my official signature.
