Just received my platinum 2 cards today. Had to call the CS to activate the card and at the same time tell them to link both cards to my M2U. The guy was suprised why my card wasn't link together. He submitted a request for me and told it'll take about 3-10 days for the IT team to do their work.

Before that I was told that I had to go to a branch to do it and it'll take 24-48 hours. Weird..

at first mine also like that but after 1 week it will reflect le... so is okay

how much is your credit limit for this 2 cards?
is it good to get high credit limit for these 2 cards since many fraudulent cases for amex??

If you notice, most of the "fraud" cases is due to the cardholders' negligence where they stupidly gave out their personal info.

One of the best thing about Maybank is that you can set the SMS alert default amount to RM1 

If you notice, most of the "fraud" cases is due to the cardholders' negligence where they stupidly gave out their personal info.

Hi Gen-X ... this I am curious .. you said giving out personal info but what info exactly? For example, is it possible for ppl to scam money from credit card by just knowing your credit card number, name, ic number and address for example? I'm only aware that the most important thing to not tell others is the CVV number ... What other information we should NOT release?

...CL low also if one is not smart about their personal info will get scammed and is a risk/liability either way.
A fool proof way not to get cc fraud cases is not to hold any credit card in the first place but it's a rather impractical idea given today's lifestyle right ?

Bro, go read http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1833743

And one member here actually posted photo of his credit card at MBB 2 Cards V2 Thread  without it being photoshopped and within minutes it was used for AA tickets online!! 

I guess the info required are just your CC number, CCV, name on card and expiry date on the card.

Before cards had "chip", the magnetic strip was easily cloned and your personal data is not even required (applies to ATM card too). Then again, info stored in the "chips" can also easily be cloned - go google and you will find people selling the chip read/write gadget.

Even if you have pin number for debit card, still not safe. Previously at My Credit Cards blog I posted videos on how one can easily obtained your pin number and even your visa wave/MC paypass data but those videos are no longer accessible. But you can go to youtube and search "credit card cloning" and you will learn something out from them.

And read this http://creditcardsmalaysia.blogspot.com/20...card-fraud.html at My Credit Cards blog where our postmen also can easily intercept our cards and use them since many don't really need us to activate them (even tho it is stated we need to do so). But for my case, most of the time I follow up on my application and if the card do not reach me within a certain time, I will get it cancelled and get a new one issued.

Like hye said,
If you note, many members here cover their CCV number, I guess this is a good practice but I don't do so because how the heck am I going to remember all my CC CCV numbers. That's why I love MBB, I get a SMS immediately (even before the receipt is printed) for any amount including when I use it overseas. Please note you have to request MBB to set defailt value to RM0.01 or RM1 - for those of you who are not aware on SMS default value, please read this thread.

wanna know that is there any way to get 5x TP + 5% rebate on utility bills payment (eg. streamyx, TM, etc) thru m2u amex?

I guess we can't really avoid those "hardcore" things like stealing pin numbers or your postmen case .... What we can avoid is not revealing CCV and don't post photos of our credit cards ? And yes I've set the sms alert thing to RM1 which I find really awesome .. Guess I learn something new about covering the CCV number ... Guess I'll squeeze my brain cells to try to remember the number .. if not i'll juz peel off the sticker or something in emergency haha ...

just got my 2 cards

Does anyone know whether the 3M Cash Back will eventually affect the max RM50 (5% rebate cap) for the particular month?

Please read no 4 again..
