They are not starting to reject AMEX. It's just that most of them never accept the card to begin with because in their contracts signed with their credit card terminal provider, AMEX is not part of the deal.

Anyway, i have no problem using my AMEX at all the places i frequent. As a matter of fact, it is my most heavily used credit card now. Whenever AMEX is not accepted, i'll use my Citibank VISA then

Get a real AMEX card then without any Maybank or Hong Leong Bank logo.

Since we're in MBB2 thread here. I assume the AMEX you're holding is a MBB2 AMEX ? Use your MBB2 VISA or MBB2 MasterCard to book a hotel room through Agoda and get 6% off the room rate.


Spot on!

This is a limited time promotion only and only applicable to Maybank VISA and MasterCard. Click here to learn more about this promotion.

Yes. If you pay for your booking using MBB2 AMEX, you will get both the 5% cash back (assume you do the booking on weekend) and 5xTP.


Hotelclub.com, Expedia.com.my etc.


What are you talking about ? MBB2 AMEX still gives 5xTP for all transactions.


Anytime!

If you're using MBB2 cards, just enter your MBB2 VISA or MBB2 MC numbers.

Maybank does seem pretty efficient these days especially when it comes to processing the application for Maybankard 2. My mom faxed the application form to them this morning and she received a call from them approximately 5 minutes later to confirm that they have already received the form and will now process it

But then, i was among the first to apply when they introduced this MBB2 cards back in January and they were very efficient then too. My application was approved in just 1 or 2 working days from the date they received my application form through fax

The first transaction did not go through. So no. It won't be posted to M2U.


1. Depends where do you frequent or shop.
2. Yes. A credit limit is assigned for MBB2 cards and is shared by both MBB2 AMEX and MBB2 VISA/MBB2 MasterCard.

That's because you are already an existing customer. I actually got mine by using my HSBC MasterCard as reference. However, this method is no longer possible for new applicants.

Because Maybank management decided they don't want to anymore.

Can be on the next day too. My mom received an sms from Maybank last night that her application for MBB2 is approved. And guess what ? Poslaju came about an hour ago

Anyway, this means we can save more money from now on However, there is one bad news. The credit limit assigned to my mom is shocking. I mean shockingly low! She was a Maybankard holder 3 years ago and her credit limit then was higher. I helped her to apply using her salary slips and her salary is actually higher than it was 3 years ago. She is not subject to the 2 credit card issuers ruling, by the way.

Yeah. Guess i'll do that. Hopefully they can at least match her old credit limit. Thanks, will give it a shot

Just really low that caught me by surprise. They gave her higher credit limit last time. It was for the Maybankard Gold AMEX.

Any ideas how the bank determines the validity of each card issued ? I got my Maybankard 2 Cards in January this year and it is going to expire in January 2014. However, my mom's is only going to expire in July 2016. I'm just curious ...

Yeah. My mom's a Gold too. The AMEX looks suspiciously like a Platinum card, by the way

I personally think the yellow color made all the difference. The real Platinum card just looks a bit too dull


That day will come

Yours a Platinum as well ? Yeah, i'm very curious too. About how they decide on the validity of the card.

LOL! Don't think it actually warrants a call to MBB hotline. Precisely why i asked it here. Like a casual talk something like that. Not exactly very important. Just wanted to give it a try here. May be some of you may know


No sure. Yeah. This is my very first credit card from Maybank.

May be those Maybankard 2 Cards approved in January all will expire in 2014. Just a wild guess
