You do get all the usual Platinum benefits.


Not sure on this as we're still not sure how's the exchange rate for Maybankard 2 AMEX is like.

You'll only get the RM188 after you swipe the card once in a non-petrol transaction.

It was buried in their T&C somewhere.

Let's do some examples :-

USD1 = RM3.00
Convert RM1 = 200 TP/CP

Spend of USD100
Maybankard2 AMEX charges 2.5% = RM307.50 = 1537 TreatsPoints [RM7.69]
SCB Business VISA charges 1.0% = RM303.00 = 909 ChoicePoints + RM1.52 [RM6.07]

Spend of USD3000
Maybankard2 AMEX charges 2.5% = RM9225 = 46125 TreatsPoints [RM230.63]
SCB Business VISA charges 1.0% = RM9090 = 27270 ChoicePoints + RM45.45[RM181.80]

Somehow, Maybankard2 AMEX still tops !!!

SCB RM188 Cashback T&C @ http://www.standardchartered.com.my/person...h-back/tnc.html

Wah, you must be big spender to be offered AMEX Black I guess you referring to the Maybankard 2 Amex Plat where I call it MBB Dua Amex.

Like Miles said, cancel the MBB Petronas, no point having it since got Maybankard 2 Visa.

Maybankard 2 Visa. If not mistaken, winner have posted before SCB bank rate very high. Amex charges 2.5% but with 5X maybe will break even.
Click here to see comparison of Amex rate vs MBB Petronas Visa I posted in 2009 at my blog.


Just to add. there are three main difference between Maybank Platinum Visa/MasterCard vs Maybankard 2 Platinum Amex, Visa and MAsterCard.

1. Maybank Platinum Credit Cards Annual Income Requirement RM120K, twice that of Maybankard 2 cards.
2. Maybank Platinum Visa/MC grant you access to MBB Private Banking Centres. Maybankard 2 Platinum don't.
3. Maybank Platinum Visa/MC gives you 2X points for overseas but Maybankard 2 Visa/MC 1X.
4. I got to go check the Travel Insurance Amount to see if they are the same.

And to add, there is one very big difference between having the Platinum printed on the Maybankard 2 Amex. Without it, you cannot enter Gardens Premier Toilet for free and got to pay RM5, hahahaha


Anyway, I just listed most of the banks Customer Service Contact numbers at my blog. Click below to read more.

Just to compare with Petronas and maybakard 2, except private banking, any other BIG difference? Such as airport lounge.. etc

Haha, then i show then Platinum Debit Card !!!!

LOL. Still got the Maybankard 2 VISA Platinum mah

yuunasue: for MBB you don't have to activate cards, can go use it on the spot. Better you call CS now and see if you can termintate the Petronas Card.
As for Airport Lounges, go to my blog and click on KLIA Plaza Premium Lounge Access with CC. MBB no, but if you got MBB WMC with the higher annual fee, then yes yo got access to Golden Lounge.

hey, decide to apply for standard chartered platinum card , may i know how long in order for them to approve my card?

Make sure you apply for the Business Visa Platinum which have 1 advantage : 0.5% Unlimited CashBack

Yes, you'll get 5% cash rebate from OCBC and RM5 rebate from DiGi.

er, how can M2 Amex comes on top? after deducting the rebates from TP/CP, you pay more if you use M2 AMEX, unless you factor in 5% on weekends, but that is up to max of RM50 only

his comparison is just based on his assumptions and not actual cases. By assuming that SCB charges 1% itself is flawed because the actual rate is much much higher. Winner the best to tell us about using SCB for overseas transactions. Waiting for him to reply.

If you click the link I provided above for my overseas transactions in 2009, HSBC is almost as high as AMEX and I would reckon the same for SCB.

I have a question:

When one applies for credit card from Standard Chartered and received a call from Standard Chartered asking them to read out their IC number, office address etc does that mean the application will get approved for sure or this is just a battle won halfway per say? Just curious.

Hi bro rockefeller ... long time no see.

If this happens ... means the bank is merely confirming the information that is in the application form.
It does not mean the application is approved nor not approved.

Hello hye. Yes it has been quite awhile!

Thanks for your prompt reply. Much appreciated.

Comes up top in terms of rebate.... not in terms of nett paid to the bank.
If calculated based on 2% for SCB (more likely), Maybankard2 AMEX have lower nett paid to the bank.
