thanks for the clarifications.

may i know roughly what are the benefits of maybank gold credit card that are not available to maybank 2 amex card?

don't total up all the transactions and then multiply by 5%
multiply each transaction individually by 5% and round DOWN to the nearest cent

Hi hope wont be flamed
1. jz check my statment got RM50 rebate ady, but i got my card only on 17.5. Isnt the RM50 should be due on my billing cycle date?

2. I read somewhere in this post that RM50 wil be given on 1 of everymonth. so does that mean this weekend m entitled to 5% fresh again til 30.6?

1. Please double confirm if your transaction date falls during Saturdays and Sundays.

2. For May 2011, the rebate was credited in on 2nd June. Therefore, last weekend (28th & 29th May) is qualified but this weekend (4th and 5th June) are not.

thats great meaning, m entitled for extra RM50 when i was jz holding the card for 2 weeks

no such thing as xtra...
see it as a long term card which u will use for many more years.

Good point there. I did multiplied 5% individually, but did not round down. Yes, I confirmed this methodology is accurate.
Using this month to check the rebates. Will definitely go over RM50 from now. Thanks alexwsk.

Everyone is looking forward to the payout of the cash back. I can imagine seeing happy face on everyone's face.

I have changed my spending habit to the extent of postponing my purchase to weekends if possible. I also pump petrol on the weekend even though the tank is not empty.

Just received my cards....... Will swipe it tomorrow when going for shopping. shopping mall in melaka accept amex?

yw

gen-x, maybe u can update at 1st post, how the 5% is calculated, and it is based on 1st to last day of the month

that what m practising at the moment. is a significant change for me as i normally only pump when it is empty, real empty and has been my habit for almost 10 years. I did not change the habit despite repeated being told off by my parents until i got the AMex. Lol

money is really powerful hehe

yes, aeon, mahkota, tesco...

it seems like u dun understand my point.
even if ur 1st month is just barely a day, u wont 'lose' the rm50. u just need to arrange ur spending in the coming months
u r saying as if like by 2 yrs time this card will b terminated or something so have to make full use of every month
it's all about planning your spending

even u just received ur card on 27 may then on 28&29 may u swipe rm1k, u can also get rm50 ~

Maximising RM50 every month will ensure you get the full potential of the Maybankard2 AMEX card...

RM1000 spend per month gets RM50 Cahsback : RM600 annually
RM1000 spend per month gets 5000 TP : 60000 TP annually (~ RM300)

Thus we could get ~RM900 value back annually

my amex cashback of rm50 can finished on 1st week of the month.

well, maybank didnt guarantee that this 5% cashback can last forever.
previously DA offer 2% cashback for all petrol everyday also terminated already

But aren't the Weekend 5% cashback a FEATURE of the Maybankard2 AMEX ? They could revise the T&C. Let's HOPE NOT
DA's Petrol rebate was a promotional thingy, thus it has expiry date.

yea, hopefully it lasts forever for MBB. Although there are rumour that OCBC Titanium 5% rebate is going to be revised.

I just got call from MBB for pre approved MBB 2 Card Platinum

i think, that wil alteast last for another good 3 years as they jz lauched the card/

OCBC revision? mind to share the rumour? I think the revision wil be a better one as their latest promo-the cash back promo, is even better.

Added on June 3, 2011, 4:12 pmimagining if you spend RM2k monthly on weekends. You are however only entited to RM50.month, losing RM50.
However, if you get yr card earlier, say 2nd week of May, u can faster use yr card thereby, 2 months, can get RM100, extra RM50. that's where m coming from.

My OCBC cycle is 17 everymonth, so the MBB's policy is good that i can take turn in getting the max cash rebate when one's quota is full.

the cash back is THE reason y everyone is rushing to get these cards. You take away tat = you take away the customers.
