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 ;-)

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

Thought of cancel the old card before the annual GST charged.... tongue.gif:P
Nope, no penalty for Maybank 0%, just need to write a letter to them.

For SCB, penalty RM100 for early settlement!
*
Earlier you said 8.88% interest charged if transfer remaining 0% Easy-Payment Installment balance.
Unless we fully settle the payment in the old card without any early-exit payment.

quick question, is there any monetary penalty/fee for replacing damaged/lost/stolen AMEX cards (both charge and credit)

thanks!
*
RM50 per card... stolen gets a waiver with a police report.

Sorry if this has been asked before, is M2Amex eligible for 15% cashback?
*
Confirmation from Maybankard FB page... the new Maybankard2 AMEX is entitled to the 15% Cash-back promotion.

Thanks Winner... I thought Amex card with Maybank logo is at 1.5% foreign rate. Seems I was wrong.
Thanks for the update. I'll be going to SG soon so I'll rely on OCBC Titanium, and still considering should I get M2Amex to replace my current Amex Gold CC... still waiting for my 15% cash rebate... otherwise I would have already canceled it... tongue.gif
*
Definitely go cancel AMEX Gold Credit Card once you receive all your 15% Cash-Back rebate. Last Payout month would be April 2011 (for Feb's spending).

Once you have the Maybankard2 combo, use the Maybankard2 Visa for lower forex admin fees (0.5%)

But remember SGD to RM = 2.35... so unless you can spend below SGD435... highly unlikely ;-)

Just got my Maybankard2 AMEX (+Visa) approved today.

2 Feb 2011 : Application has been approved.

That's about 5 working days... Kudos to Maybank !!!

ok ok. thanks for sharing. smile.gif  Will apply maybankard 2 cards 1st via fax before cancel current amex gold cc.
tomorrow will cancel hong leong essential card, since this card can't find any reason for me to continue use.

apply maybankard 2 master or visa card?  hmm.gif since many people said master card more convenient in malaysia.

today go a restaurant force to use my stand char visa due to amex temporary unavailable  rclxub.gif

Maybankard2 Mastercard available in April 2011 onwards.
IF you need a Mastercard, go apply OCBC Titanium Mastercard lah...

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

It will be great news if it follows existing CC's GST anniversary. So we can earn 5% weekend rebates first :-)

Maybankard2 doesn't require call-in to activate once you receive your CC. Can use immediately.

It is not possible to do it online at this point in time. If you want to use Amex paying Maxis bills, you need to do it at Maxis centres.

Which Maxis Centre accepts AMEX CC as payment method ?

M2U removed the TreatPoints viewing from the AMEX CC Summary screen...
I guess they found their "mistake"
