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)


Thanks a lot bro! And if possible, please try to use your wife's SCB VI too as this card also gives 5x Choice Points. Just to see how it fares compared to MBB VI for transaction made in foreign currency

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


Yes


I used my Maybankard 2 AMEX and HSBC MasterCard a few times yesterday and i did not receive any sms from either bank too

As far as i am concerned, Astro will ask for the CVV if one pays their bill over the phone.

I see. Last time they did.

I've made a few transactions in USD late last year with my MBB2 VISA. Will post them up in the cc forex thread later.


No. They don't. It's been almost a year since i last used my HSBC MasterCard. I started using it again at places that do not accept AMEX since last Friday. I usually use my Citibank VISA but it's been temporarily blocked until i receive my replacement card.

Anyway, i've used my HSBC MasterCard five times since last Friday and i only received sms for two out of five transactions. Both transactions were made online in the midnight just now. Approximately 5 minutes after i received the second sms, there was a missed call from HSBC. Then they sent me an sms requesting me to call back. It was at 1.05am

I've posted all my USD transactions using my MBB2 VISA for the period between October to December 2011 in HERE.

Either they lost your application form, the postman lost it or it's still somewhere and hasn't reached the credit card department yet. But since it's been two weeks, most likely your application form is lost. As for who actually is responsible ? Well, it's kinda hard to say.



No problem

Anyway, good to know that the preliminary date shows that MBB VI 5xTP for overseas spending is still worth it. Too bad i'm still not qualified for this MBB VI. Someday... definitely someday

Aiyo! She even called VISA International ? So "rajin" of her But the admin fee is imposed by the company she is directly working for, not VISA International


Gosh! Yet another consistency issue from Maybank!


Good to know that

*2011*. I noticed that too. Overspent last year, need to cut down on expenses this year as we are heading towards another recession

By the way, my MBB2 cards were charged with the credit card tax with the transaction date recorded as 15 Jan 2012. I suppose that it means my MBB2 was approved on 15 Jan 2011. Time sure flies... it's been a year since i started using this superb credit card product from Maybank

Using your own credit card is better. You can claim all the rewards for yourself

Kindly post in this thread. Thanks.

By the way, i just received the replacement card for both of my MBB2 Cards. The VISA one is in black instead of blueish while the AMEX has all platinum word printed in all capital letters (was initially reported by zenquix if i'm not mistaken, could also be someone else). Just like Citibank, Maybank will also temporarily block your credit card until you've received the replacement credit card if you request them to courier the card directly to your correspondence address. However, if you request to collect it at a Maybank branch, your credit card account will not be blocked.

I did that too last year


And now i have all three versions


I think it was ben83

I called around April or May last year to enquire about the new MBB2 AMEX with the word Platinum printed on it and the CS gladly offered a replacement card to me FOC. It's free anyway and so i accepted the offer. As for the current one, there's a sign that it's going to be broken into two soon. So i called and asked for a replacement.

Yes. FOC I had to drive to my nominated branch to collect the replacement cards though.


I also requested for replacement card for my Citibank credit card about two weeks ago. This was due to faulty chip and the replacement card was given to me FOC too. This card is my most used credit card after MBB2 AMEX and it was quite troublesome for me as the card was temporarily blocked. I can't even use it online

Anyway, it didn't end there. I called them two days later to ask the CS if he can unblock my card so i can use it online. But he misunderstood what i said and activated the card (they have mailed it out but i haven't received it). He soon found out that i haven't actually received the replacement credit card. So he had no choice but to cancel that account and put in another request for a new credit card with a new number.

But the thing is, i still prefer to use my Citibank VISA (in places that do not accept AMEX) so that all my hard earned rewards points will go into this particular card account. This way i can redeem for something faster

I don't have MBB VI.

TP is also rewarded when you use your VISA debit card but don't bother to use it as it gives you 1XTP for every RM3 charged to the card.

Nope. All TP is evergreen

Guys, i just realized today that the 4-digit printed on the front of my new MBB2 AMEX (replacement card) is different. It's no longer the same much discussed 4-digit.

xxxx & xxxx. Sensitive information. Can't reveal it. It's irrelevant to non-MBB2 AMEX cardholders anyway while current MBB2 AMEX cardholders only need to know their current 4-digit.
