No. Not necessarily so. Besides, i thought you only have the PBB credit card with a credit limit of RM4k.
May be you can try to apply for the Maybankard 2 cards. For the Platinum one of course.

By the way guys, any idea which credit card companies that provide mail/parcel forwarding service for items ordered in US/UK if we pay using their credit card ? I only know a few banks providing such service. I am going to order something from the UK and i want to compare the shipping fees first.
- Citibank > Citi Globeshopper
- HSBC > vPost
- UOB > vPost
- Maybank > vPost
- Alliance Bank > vPost

By the way, shipments through vPost doesn't seem to incur any duty tax. Has anyone ever encountered problems such as your parcel being detained at the custom ? Please share your experience.

Oic...

Just to make it clear...Its installment plan for iphone, not autopay for phonline woh

Hi, I'd like to share my thoughts on your indecision.

If you spend RM2,200 using MBB2Amex, you get 11,000 TP which equivalent to RM50 shopping voucher.

Assume that same amount of spending using Amex Gold cc earns you 11,000 MR. You may use 10,000 MR to redeem RM50 cash and still keep 1,000MR (equivalent to RM5) as balance.

Is the remaining MR worth the GST? It depends on your total spending.

Anyone notice the Maybankard2 AMEX TP balance reduced... I lost aboout 500+ points

yeah i did click "I'm interested in MBB website" before which they intro the game thing
anyone specific number to call the CC amex to check on this?

As for Jusco IOI Mall, both Supermarket and Departmental Store gets 1% rebate from OCBC Titanium...to the best of my knowledge.
I do notice that MBB's Transaction Description is separated as Jusco SMKT and Jusco DEPT ... maybe different MCC.

Thank you, must remember not to use OCBC TMC at JJ Supermarket. We do need a post on OCBC 5%. Ronnie, will appreciate if you can post again all the places that you have got 5% rebate with OCBC TMC and update periodically. And the next time anyone starts a new thread, you try to post it soonest possible so that it be at the first page.

Maybe I will work with the thread starter to update the 5% OCBC list.

np, just gv me the list, i'll append at the end of the 1st post for this version

I just recalled that I have clicked on the MB2 website that I am interested. But, that is not the application process.
Beside that, I am current MB credit cardholder.

it seems that maybank is very fast in updating new cards in our maybank2u...but if we cancel one, it takes months+many calls to cs to remove it from our maybank2u...happens to me twice now..

tgeoklin- mind to elaborate on how our transactions overseas  are converted finally to RM.
I want to join too, can ar 

Anyone can shed some light on how to define a weekend trxn?
For example, Malaysian time 7am on a Saturday, could be Friday 11pm in U.K.

Emm ... yeah. I always count the rebate to be 5% then if 1% then the cap will be RM5K.

The transaction don't follow international time but instead Maybank Malaysia time. You can be anywhere in the world but the transaction clock is based on the Maybank Malaysia time.

I am too cheapskate to pay for the RM2 IBG fee but luckily, my HSBC account gives me unlimited free IBG. So i always make the IBG out from HSBC online. And in case the amount is big, i'll issue a cheque instead.

Wawasan Sentosa's USD rate on 3/3/11 was USD1 = RM3.035

This is great info, finally. So the diff between MBB2 Amex and MBB Visa is 1.4342% or

If spend USD1000 with MBB Visa you can save  RM43.97 or

If spend USD1000, in terms of voucher MBB Visa RM15.33 (0.5%) and  Amex RM77.75 (2.5%) Diff = RM62.42

Conclusion based on above transaction: AMEX MBB Dua better!

But from my previous transactions with AMEX on the same day less than an hour apart, the rate not constant and can vary close to 1% Need to wait for wshoh to confirm again.
HSBC rate low lah.

hi, im interested to get MBB2 card but cant find any "Im interested" button at maybank2u..

Hi, I just got my Maybankard 2 Gold today. =)

but is there no special offer/discount in any shop when using this card? =(

With regards to the Ambank Carz thing - correct me if i am wrong

Assuming you pump petrol for 1600 uniformly spread over the month to maximise the 80 RM and pay in full less 1 sen and with a clean payment record i pay 11.85% interest on the 1600 RM because i dont have the 20 interest free days. (i will omit the 1sen outstanding)

evenly spread means i have to pay interest for 20 days on RM 800 (11,85%/365*20 = 0,65% interest). i then have to pay RM 5,20 in finance charges right?

so i have to pay RM 5,20 to gain RM 60 - profit RM 54,80

would this calculation be correct? if so then being a revolver isnt too bad.

NO, at this point in time. Higher category MBB cards like MBB Platinum MC and VISA do not even provide this benefit. Only MBB WMC comes with complimentary access to airport lounges worldwide.

Makes no difference, you will not be able to speak to someone who can actually make a decision either way. Worst case scenario is just paying the late fees and interest.

Late payment for CC once or twice per year makes little difference to your credit record. In fact banks would prefer you frequently pay late (but not till the extent the bank needs to come after you for payment).
