Yes, I just collect my card at branch this morning.

apply for platinum, u can get rm100 cashback together with ur gold card

After.
Basically I didn't submit anything, everything via phone call.

i heard got such cases also..u muz have a mbb account..ur montly salary muz bank in to ur maybank account..i think this is their minimum requirement..

most important i think is ur montly salary is bank in to maybank i think..so did they call u and offer u the cc??

eh..really? mayb ur mbb account is very very active

Is there any easy way to upgrade cards from Gold to Platinum?

u mean they won't request for ur pay slip or wat?? juz utilize ur usage for the cc only??

How long does it take for the TP to reflect correctly?

Today I bought a Dell laptop online and charged it to my AMEX. Not long after that, an AMEX staff called to verify my purchase. After verification, then Dell proceeded with my order and checked my M2U, the transaction has been reflected but not the TP. Usually it is quite fast based on my previous transactions...

Don't tell me online purchase is not eligible for TP? That is 12880 TP....

Most CS say different things (at least based on my experience.  Some will say wait for 6 to 12 months while others will say we'll forward your request to processing unit).  I did not have to wait for 6 months to request an upgrade.  I fax an upgrade request to 03-79538640 (cover letter stating I wish to request to upgrade my card to platinum, copy of IC, copy of payslip (RM5K or more salary) and copy of bank statement where the salary is credited.  After few days, I received the platinum cards.

Since you are qualified, it's best to get platinum if you also want to take advantage of travel insurance and retail protection (purchase protection, extended warranty and return guarantee) for some purchase using the card.  See details in http://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/Mayban...ection%20CI.pdf

if u wan fast u should go to apply at card center..

Will do.

But one thing is, what is the yearly minimum spending need to be done using the card to avoid being charged extra?

maybank very very bad service....
