Does Maybank only SMS notification based on spending behaviour because I'm only receiving SMS for certain swipes only?

So far, I only received swipe alert for auto debit for TNB and OTC at TM point. TM point is using MBB terminal.

I didn't receive alerts from Jusco and Tesco because those're my frequently visited places.

Just my hunch. Don't flame me.

Swiped once today for RM 700 when changing tyres using MBB2 AMEX.

No SMS received.

But i did received SMS for all my auto-debits like DiGI broadband , DiGi Phone bills,Great Eastern etc.

My wife just received 2 sms from CIMB Bank informing her that 2 purchases has been made from iTunes US with total amount USD120 using her credit card.
My wife never had any i-device.. let alone having iTunes account. It's clearly a fraud.

The last transaction she made was when she bought a printer at KLCC PC Fair last week. Is it possible that one of the salesperson at the booth involves in this fraud?..

CIMB cust service said they'll investigate the transaction..

Not strange ... I'm in the same boat as well.
For some strange reasons, I stop receiving SMS since the last 2 weeks. I'm still receiving MSOS though.

So far I never received any SMS for using my petronas Mbb visa for petrol transaction in petronas

Very strange now. All my auto debit won't be receiving any SMS alert for MBB2 AMEX and Visa.

why don't they implement sms alerts for debit card transactions... too. I have recently split an insurance payment to a debit and credit card. The alert for cc came 3 minutes after and nothing from the debit issuer. Would have felt much x10 safer if debit transactions come with an alert too.

sent ur daughter to aussie for study last few week  ?

I sent a secured email to Citibank to request them to lower my credit card sms alert from the current RM499 to RM1 but guess what ? It is Citibank's policy that they only provide sms alert for all transaction of at least RM201   

continues from the above....
4). Continued called to MBB. After checking, the cs told me to wait for a moment, She wrote a report instantly to  MBB Information Technology  Department without delay, then she  said that I am going to get the notification after 3 working days later.

After 3 working days, finally I received the notification yesterday saying the my SMS ALERT is successful.

MBB SMS ALert system is the toughest bank I had ever deal regarding the SMS Alert.  

P/S: As long as you haven't received your SMS acknowledgment that your SMS Alert feature is successful, you will never get the SMS Alert for all transactions (including irregular transactions) even through u had requested for SMS Alert feature to be on and had recorded on their computer system.

One question, will the transactions incurred by the supplementary cards be alerted to the principal card holder's phone call?
As far as I know, for HSBC, yes, the transaction incurred by the supplementary will notify the principal holders.

i did receive SMS for every online transaction, but not with the face to face transaction, sometime yes, sometimes no

Received my first SMS alert for swipe transaction on my Citibank CC for an amount less than min amount set.

Maybe because I requested for the replacement CC.

Update for UOB Credit Card: We can change the SMS alert transaction limit to RM 1 and above. I have successfully done so and got the SMS for a RM 40 transaction. Just fill in the "SMS Transaction Alert Service Maintenance Form" from UOB website at Useful Information -> Application Form -> Personal Banking. The completed form should be sent to UOB via fax, post or direct hand-in. Take note that the fax number written in the form is outdated. The correct fax number should be 03-26900121, those in doubt may call up UOB to confirm.

Gen-X, please do add this info to UOB Credit Cards thread as well.

I am pleased to announce that my request for setting min threshold to RM1 is successful, after BNM's intervention.

CIMB 

Aiya, you quote Gen-X but ask me 

Yes, I am able to change it to RM1.

I wonder why when I'm using Maybank MasterCard, i received late notification and sometimes none.. As for Maybank Amex, I received notification directly after purchased..
