It was mentioned the Amex 5% is only applicable for weekends

Base on my current transaction on other CC.
The transaction date is on weekend but posting date is on weekday.
Will i still be getting the 5% rebate is i swap using Maybankard 2?

Almost 80% of my posting date is on weekdays.

Yes, rebates are based on transaction dates.

Thanks... how about 1U branch? Open on weekend?

only maybankard center at klcc give starbucks voucher? How about the one at One Utama?

the one u maybank card centre also give starbuck voucher to walk in customers.

Hi All, the 5% cash back on weekend is for all transactions? Do I still get 5x treat points on top on the 5% cash back?

Yes.

You'll get TP no matter when you swipe.

yes..u will get it also..as long as the transaction date is on weekend then u will get it..

Hi bro erry,
Even though you have max out the RM50/month rebates, the 2.5% admin fee will also be weighed back by the 5x TP(~2.5%). In other words from the transaction above,

$23 = RM68.3675 + 2.5% (admin fee) =rm70.0766875
Rm70.0766875 - 2.5% (5X TP) = RM68.3675



Correct me if I am wrong.

Actually the 5x takes into account the admin fee you already paid.

so $23 = RM68.375

+ 2.5% admin fee = RM70.0766875

- 5x TP (assume intrinsic value of 2.5%) = RM68.3247703125

However you need to note :
- you only gain the 2.5% if you redeem your treapoints at 0.5 sen to a treatpoint. There are redemptions that are more, there are redemptions that are less
- with the Amex admin charge, you are actually 'buying' your points at a discount... you save 0.05 sen in the transaction above (coz the value of the treatpoints you earned you have already paid for via the Amex admin charge) i.e. you get RM10 worth of points by paying RM9.95 upfront

for me, i dont want to make calculation of 5TP = 2.5%

coz u can only redeem TP with certain amount.

Just to add, putting the 5% cash back aside, for those using MBB2 AMEX (for non company expenses), you'll be better off using MBB 2 Visa or MC and pay less upfront.

OK. Now I'm confused. What is admin fee? Do I have to pay 2.5% for all the transaction that I made using AMEX? I thought AMEX is like normal credit card. I buy RM50 and I pay RM50? Don't tell me I have to pay 2.5% extra on top of the RM50?

I have a question If I have the normal Maybank Platinum and AMEX, can I get it changed to Maybank 2 Platinum/AMEX?

The discussion was on overseas transaction whereby the admin fee is ~2.5% for amex

Yes but not really change. You can apply for the Maybankard 2 Cards (see first post, you can download form or even apply via email or just go to 1U or KLCC and get the card in 1-2 hours) and it sure will be approved since the Credit Limit will be shared with your Maybank Platinum CC. After you get the Maybankard 2 Cards, call up CS and cancel whatever card you want and transfer whatever Treats Points you have to your new Maybankard 2 Account. As for AMEX AMEX it is a separate card by itself so use up your MR before you cancel.

Thanks dude. I'm relief now. Going to sign up for
MBB card when I have the chance. I spent 10K a week ago and got like 10k reward points for HSBC card. Can't even redeem RM 50 tesco voucher. If I were to charge that to Amex card and get 5x treats points, with 50k treat points, I could have redeem RM 200 telco or Jusco and still have some balance treat points.

and if you had spent it on a weekend, you would get another RM50

When i press the first time login, i need to provide the access no. and the pin.
do i have to get the pin from bank or otherwise?
