Seems to me that oversea transaction will prompt the system more then local transaction. Even swiping in Johor, PJ, and selangor on the same day does not trigger it -,-

this morning i used my mbb amex at the filling station - no sms alert

Received my 1st SMS alert from MBB2 AMEX right after the swipe at TM Point:

RM0.00 MBB: TQ for using your Maybankard ending XXXX for MYRXX.XX at TMPOINT JLN BURMAH\JLN BU; DATE; TIME. For inq call num at back of your card.

Before that, swiped at Esso also no alert and right after TM point, swiped at another Esso for my friend also no alert. Both swipes at Esso is less than RM 100. Swipe at TM point is > RM 100.

after successfully change the threshold, received 2 SMS Transaction Alerts for 2 transaction done today via Maybankard2 AMEX. Received approx 5-10mins after swipe.

OT abit.

Because today is Saturday, I used my MBB 2 AMEX twice in the morning at ESSO. Went to TESCO and swipe three separate times there too. All transactions below RM200 per swipe. Not a single SMS. Just now at 3+pm, while I was taking a nap, stupid mobile phone kept ringing, they were persistent, I only answered the call on the third time and was really pissed off. A girl introduce herself from MBB and asked if I swiped my card 4 times at TESCO today. I said three, and she read out the 3 swipes and then said I swipe twice I was like blur, can she count or was that done purposely?

The thing is I seldom go to TESCO. 1st swipe at Electrical Dept to buy some printer ink, second wipe for ice cream and some snacks at the general check out counter and third swipe for 10 packs of fags. This is definitely not common for me.

So in conclusion:

1. MBB still keeping track of our spending pattern; and
2. If my card was stolen, it would have been too late as they only called me 3 hours after I last use my card.

hmm, so you received yours i will see if i get any this two days

It happen to me last year. Purchased somethings from steam via paypal 3 times and an iphone on the same day. Following a call to MBB to let them know about my purchases.
MBB called me 24hours later to confirm my transaction again. I guess multiple purchases will trigger their system

so far all Maybankard2 AMEX transactions has been confirmed with SMS.... Some SMS came before I signed the slip...

i only receive sms confirmation if i use for online purchasing
if on the site like swiping for petrol and groceries never receive any sms

Sorry, we don't spoon-feed info here... we share useful info only.

Finally receive my first sms from MBB today, swipe petrol.

I didn't get any SMS notification when swiping at MPH with Direct Access... Do I need to fill the form to activate it ?

I've been able to receive TAC from CIMBClicks... unless CC's mobile is different.

finally received my first SMS from MBB for M2 Amex
payment at MPSJ USJ5 kiosk

CIMB confirms the new default value is RM500 and above to get SMS Transaction Alert.

I tested a swipe of RM2:50 using Maybankard2 AMEX and received SMS alert... kudos !!!

How low you requested to set for MBB2 AMEX?

I set my threshold to RM1 as I want to know all transactions is confirmed via SMS.

That would be annoying later if you're actively swiping the card.

Did you set your other cards to that low as well?

Since the SMS is FREE, I don't mind ...

Until today, I have not receive even 1 single SMS
