I agree, I have similar experience with cheaper rate with Master Card.

August 2013 onward, My oversea transactions shows Maybank credit card has increase the administration fee from 1% to 2%
Furthermore they revised the redemption point upward, now 100 points is only worth 40sen instead of 50sen (20% value depreciation)

Without even notify the customer before the change.

Any recommendation which card to switch for better rate and point benefit?

Hi Ronnie,

thanks for your recommendation.
Any example of real transaction to show us as reference?

Where can i find the 5% rebate info regarding this card?
5% rebate will end after December 31, 2103? what's the rebate after that?
Any limit to the 5% return? of all transaction without limit?

Thanks,
Len
