Thank you Bro, Good to know to enjoy them. Visit my blogs more often, I don't mind and would love more of your support Have you visited Money For Luxury? You can learn a thing or two about handbags, hahaha

Wise men think alike Actually few months back wanted to redeem voucher at Harvey Norman to get the iPod Touch too but they no stock so got it at Machines and use MBB 2 AMEX to get 5X TP, now price drop

For those wanting to get Apple or other electronic stuff, for Harvey Norman you only need 9700TP = RM50 and they have promo now, spend RM1K and above get to guarantee win RM20 minimum to RM1K. Click here to read how I only paid RM999 for Apple iPad2 at Harvey Norman.

iPad3, next Spring or Summer I guess.

The best so far was I redeem Metro Jaya RM50 x 3 vouchers early this year for 8000TP/voucher. My wife has yet to use them.

YES. Equivalent to 2.5% Cash Rebate unlimited.

So powerful. You will see the benefit in a long run.

Acceptance is getting well-known.

MBB pushes out a lot of AMEX Cards, now the merchant also in a quite high demand due to customer's preference.

SenQ has a current offer for Citibank CC - Samsung Galaxy S2 at RM100 off. The list price for the phone is RM1,899. So I charged RM1,000 to the Citibank CC (equivalent 10% disc), used up 100,000 treat points for RM500 and paid the balance RM299 using Amex2 (another RM22 at 7.5%) card. Free gift included a Belkin bumper case and 1+2 years warranty. I think it was a good deal.

You can also opt to pay by 0% instalment if you wish but I was not up to it.

Wow, you split a bill into 3 type of payment....

But buying from LYN forummers could get lower price....

I just read about Gen-X's blog post regarding the iPad2 purchase at Harvey Norman. Gen-X's blog is ever enlightening, really learnt a lot especially when I'm still a newbie.

Nice, gave me lots of wild idea.

According to a CS at 1Utama Maybank Card Centre the first one is a old promo.

Agree, one can get SII cheaper with mobile phone dealers BUT they don't accept AMEX, haha. Don't know when kwokwah bought the SII, but price have dropped significantly since Samsung Note was launched. Anyway, all of you guys wanting to buy phones at SenQ or Courts, always check out the market price first at LYN Garage.

I thought my blog on handbags would interest you more Just kidding, I know you are more into cameras. Thanks for reading my articles.


Sometimes MBB do have promotions where we can get good offers During Treats Fair too.

Yes. 16.7k TP is a very old promo many years ago. Confirmed, as I exchange before at 1U.
Now no more. It is 20k now.

LOL. I have same experience last year with one oversea bank.
Say pre-approved gold. Then I say OK, and went through all the questions they asked.

After that, got the letter, rejected =.=

So I emailed the CS and complained. Then the person who called me, called me again and say sorry... say she never say it's preapproved.. she said preselected wor..

I also don't know she is cheating or not. Anyway, I got a better credit card now

Sometimes they say pre-approved coz they wana increase their sales by trying luck, but actually not pre-approved.So this kind problems happens.

my fren also same...pre approved....but then rejected

i got mine also as pre approved....no need give any documentation

if pre-approved, should get letter saying you're pre-approved...otherwise, its just the cs tactics to get us applying.

for 0% installment, its about the same price RM18++ with 2years warrranty..
senq offer better warranty (3years) + free gift..

of course, without installment plan garage sale is the way to go..

still can buy using Creidt Card without installment plan and save some money and then do 0% Balance Transfer

This is an excellent thread for info on the Maybank 2 Cards. Thanks to Gen-X for starting it. I'm also thinking of this 2 Cards thing and have been doing some reading. A few questions:

1. Seems to me the best benefit is the 5x TP when using the Amex card. So of course the idea is to use the Amex as much as possible. Is this 5x TP applicable with any spending, incl petrol, utilities autopay, etc? In the blog it says:



2. Next benefit is the 5% Weekend cash back when spend on Maybankard 2 American Express Card capped at RM50 per customer per month. Is this applicable with any purchase at any store? In Malaysia only or also includes overseas/internet transactions? This 5% weekend cash back is on top of the usual 5x TP right?

I have signed up some direct debits using Maybank cards before and I wish to terminate them and transfer to another bank CC. Is there a way I can check on M2U site the current active direct debit ones? I have given instructions to the merchants concerned but am afraid they may not carry it out.

Yes. Everything.


In Malaysia as well as overseas and internet transactions. And yes, you'll still get the usual 5xTP on top of the 5% weekend cash rebate.

jchong,

This is American Express Gold Credit Card


This is Maybankard 2 American Express Gold card
