4. 5% Weekend cash back when spend on Maybankard 2 American Express Card capped at RM50 per customer (including Supp Cardmember) per month.

this is saturday and sunday right?

0.5% from Maybank and 2.5% from AMEX. Anyway, idoblu has confirmed this too.

Do you still have the AMEX Gold credit card statement ? The one that was the hottest AMEX before the introduction of this MBB2 product. If i'm not mistaken, the information was given by someone using the pure AMEX Gold credit card. I did refer back to my mom's canceled AMEX charge card statement from year 2009 and the was no mention of this 0.5% admin charge either, just the 2.5% from AMEX.

Anyway, one thing for sure is that for all AMEX credit card bearing the Maybankard logo, the total admin fee is 3% (0.5% + 2.5%).
All the banks seem to charge more than what's stated in the back of the statement (foreign currency admin fee).

Anyway, can you please do all of us a favor by splitting your next overseas payment into two Maybank credit cards ? I mean to pay for the same purchase with your MBB2 VISA/MC (preferably with another MBB VISA credit card) and MBB VI ? So that we can compare the rates and to find out if Maybank is inflating the rate for MBB VI. Just to check if they are sincere in giving out the 5xTP for MBB VI for all payments made in foreign currency.

BUT, here is the shocking thing, behind my separate MBB VI, it states the following:

"Foreign charges applies a conversion factor of 2.5% to the converted amount and charges that is made in a foreign currency other than US Dollars will be first converted into US Dollars before being converted into Ringgit Malaysia" WTF     

Will execute your command, but is will be sometime again before I go overseas again. I will try to swipe with the followings cards on the same day:

MBB 2 AMEX
MBB 2 Visa
MBB Plat MC and
MBB VI

BUT, here is the shocking thing, behind my separate MBB VI, it states the following:

"Foreign charges applies a conversion factor of 2.5% to the converted amount and charges that is made in a foreign currency other than US Dollars will be first converted into US Dollars before being converted into Ringgit Malaysia" WTF     

OMG! No wonder they are so good to offer 5xTP for all overseas transactions for MBB VI. Got us all happy for nothing. I am so keen to get this card (long shot but definitely in my to-get list) 

You are still talking about using your MBB2 AMEX overseas right ? What determines whether or not you are entitled for the 5% weekend cash rebate is the transaction date. The transaction date must falls on either Saturday or Sunday. Posting date will however, determine you will get the rebate this month or next month.

For example, you bought something in USA on 31st December 2011 which is a Saturday, thus making you eligible for the MBB2 AMEX weekend 5% cash rebate. However, the payment was only posted to your account a few days later and the posting date is recorded as x Jan 2012 in your account. The 5% weekend cash rebate will be credited to your account only next month and is counted towards your 5% weekend rebate for January 2012 instead of December 2011.

Bro, tell you what, since you want the points, go swipe RM1K and see if you get the 5% cash back on weekends with the online payment and then post the outcome at the thread hye started to benefit all. And from then on, you and me can know the right answer once and for all. The remaining RM1K swipe with the Visa  or MC to compare.

It was mentioned that we can use cashback to pay the outstanding balance.

Here is a scenario, statement date 18-Dec, due date 7-Jan, outstanding amount RM100, cashback on 1-Jan is RM20. So if I pay RM80, will the minimum balance and outstanding balance be shown as zero?

Crap you are right! Really got blindsided by this... need to pull up my transactions and make an analysis

Can anyone with a MBB WMC check the back of their statements as well?

But in his blog post, the analysis shows the fee only 1.25%. So perhaps not as bad as we think?

Perhaps the next test for overseas transaction is MBB Amex vs MBB VI. Do it on same day and see which has better conversion rate (since both also 5x TP).

i already made the oversea online payment using my MBB2 AMEX today=saturday. so i will get the 5% cash rebate no matter when is my posting date right?

swiped twice again today using amex, eu yan sang and shell...

din not receive any sms again...

do we need to register our number or something?

Almost done with my analysis but need contributions from the community

need sample rates for other MBB2 cards (visa, MC, Amex) and normal MBB cards as well as other bank cards

need  your posting date, transaction date and exchange rate + card type

Rule: Must be USD to MYR conversion. Other currency will impact data comparison.

Gen-X said he will use all his MBB credit cards on the same day. So i guess we just have to wait  

Neither do I. I use MBB2 AMEX three time and Citibank twice! No SMS at all!

I had my first encounter with loss of Credit Card...NEARLY. I did a swipe at the toystore on Sat. Somehow with all the other loyalty cards used to collect points, my Maybankard 2 AMEX didn't follow me into my wallet.

After 15mins, I received a call from Maybankard Platinum services (Private Number) that asked me to check if I left my CC at the toystore. Opened my wallet and my Maybankard 2 AMEX is missing indeed.

Quickly ran back to the toystore to look for the manager and ....... Thank goodness I retrieve my 'precious' CC.

P.s. i believe the cashier 'forgot' to pull out the CC from the terminal, when giving me the receipts.

Anyone swipe amex in genting for the pp program on 1st Jan? My friend swipe on that day and being treated as cash advance.. swt..

not sure what is pp but genting (casino) is considered cash advance
