and I receive this reply from maybank:

Further to our checking in regards to your query, kindly be informed that the Bank had in fact implemented the guideline mandated by Bank Negara Malaysia on the Transaction Alert effective 1st January 2012. We wish to further clarify that each Bank has their own criterias being pre-determined when a SMS transaction alert is being sent to card members. Allow us to confirm that the criteria that has been set where SMS shall be sent when the transaction performed is above the minimum threshold amount set by the bank for each transaction. Hence, this would explain why you have not received any SMS Alert per the purchases made by your goodself. Nevertheless, should there be any form of unauthorised transaction being performed with your card, you may file for a dispute and we shall conduct the necessary investigation.
I am challeging the bolded statement because fellow forumers reported that they received sms for petrol transactions, while one did not get any for hotel (few k). Would be good if we can gather what is the lowest amount that triggers the sms (for face to face transactions).

Gee ! just inserted my Amex into Esso pump for few seconds only and I received the sms notification from 66628. Then 30 min later, they called my mobile to confirm whether I have made a transaction at Esso.
Great Job MBB2Amex !!

I got that too, stating that the amount is RM200. I was shocked to see it at first...but then I realised that it should be the pre-credited amount, just like how debit cards work. Hope this is true. Anyone who got the SMS care to verify this too?

I paid directly at counter. The sms received stated the exact amount of petrol purchased, not 200.

I got my sms after like 30 second when swipping my amex at shell counter. Nothing much, Just tell you where ,time and amount of swipe.

Just to update. I swiped my AMEX 3 times today at 1U. Padini Concept Shop (RM 355), Jusco (RM 55) (pretty sure i have spent more than RM55 at jusco) and FOS (RM 95). I got a SMS for my transaction for Jusco only about 5 minutes after I swiped stating the amount, shop and last 4 digit of card no. The other 2 transactions did not trigger anything.

I need help ! This morning based on my receipt, 03/01/2012 at 09:05:25, I pumped my petrol at ESSO for RM 48.00. Just now, I just received an SMS from 66628 stating that at 09:05:27, I pumped RM 200.00 at the same petrol station. Previously, I have never received any SMS whenever I swiped my card. Any suggestion ?

e thing here.. right after i put back the petrol nozzle i receive an sms saying i pumped rm250. this was at shell kesas near proton. once updated in mb2u i check its stated rm60+ so i guess nothing went wrong.

i swipe my Amex at Jusco and Padini on the same day, only received sms on Jusco's transaction. damn funny. it may be Jusco is using MBB terminal

I had received sms notification for all 3 transactions after 5 Jan using MBB2 card (1 of it is monthly insurance premium auto payment). I have 3 transactions from 1 Jan to 5 Jan also but didn't receive any sms notification

Forgot to call MBB that I'm going overseas.
Swipe for hotel deposit -> no call.
Swipe few k's to check-out -> no call. No SMS also
Come back, transaction posted online -> still no call/sms.
I think we need to keep complaining to BNM. My suggestion is to write a simple email to MBB each time no sms is received and cc to BNM.
