you try lah and let us know the merchant you did the online transaction with. The safest is around 12pm-1pm Sunday as zenquiz mentioned because we may not know where is the processing office located. For example, agoda.com, they have offices located in different regions.

Public Bank Prepaid Debit Card, goto this thread and ask. Reason being, you can control the damage in the event of a fraud since you control how much money is in the card. Unless you are talking about substantial amount for overseas transactions, then I guess any Maybank Visa or MasterCard credit card will do since the it offers the lowest overseas conversion fee.

1. This is correct. Unlike for example CIMB where Supp cards have separate statements, MBB combine supp cards transactions into Principal cardholder's account. You will see this in Summary when you receive your paper statement.

2. Refer item 1.

3. Bro, please read your item.1&2 where you answered this item yourself. You have zero TP because you have not swipe your card yet as mentioned in your item1. As for to see your supp card TP, you mentioned in your item 2 - "but she has gain XXXX treat points"; therefore you can view your supp card TP.

4. Read this thread. There are some that charge more than RM10K also no sms or calls. What you should do is call MBB and check your telephone number against their system and request that they set the sms alert default amount to your liking. You can even ask them to sent sms to your phone for your supp card transactions

thanks for the update and since bodybuilding.com is in US (they have 3 main shipping centres), 9am Monday = Sunday in USA.

But the site is great, they have live chat, if really want to know location of their online transaction processing office, can live chat and see if they know, haha

You know what, your above statement just hit me - if people here going after the AMEX 20% cash back realize that they need to spend RM2K to qualify for the cash back based on first come first serve basis starting Monday morning.

Click below link to read my article on discount for booking hotel online with Agoda room reservations. The article includes a Step by Step Instructions on how to book a room with your Maybank Visa or MasterCard with Agoda.com to enjoy extra 6% discount.

If you are referring to 5% cash back on weekend yes. And if you referring to discount like those offered with Citibank at Zone (still got promo??) or CIMB at Eraman then the answer is No.

I am of the same opinion as MilesAndMore.

Like I said in my article on Discount for Agoda Rooms Bookings , for bookings up to RM1K, the diff betweeen MBB 2 AMEX (7.5%) less MBB Visa/MC (6.5%) = 1% or for RM1K = RM10 diff. And for above RM1K, better go with MBB Visa/MC.

The reasons I can think off why one would go with PayPay for agoda (using AMEX on weekends for the deposit) is

1. The agoda booking is less than RM1K.
2. Not utilizing the 5% cash back allocation on weekends
3. Has credit in pay pal account and wants to use it up.

If it is your card anniversary date - Government Service Tax. Read page 1 for more info.

cheaper after 6% or 7.5% discount? If yes, yah, better book direct AND if you check out on a weekend and pay at the hotel using your Mbb 2 AMEX, you can earn up to 7.5% returns That's what I will do for my local stays, I may book the room giving them my Visa or MC number and when I check out I use my AMEX

wise men think alike

Nope, can you enlighten me for MBB 2 AMEX case? I.e what is the effective "savings".

My Pay Pal Account in RM so I got no idea on other type of top up.

Fantastic detail calculations on the effective savings and comparison Conclusion, don't go with MBB 2 AMEX for booking your hotel room with agoda but instead go with the MBB Visa/MC 6% discount UNLESS you can pay with your MBB 2 AMEX on weekends in RM.

Yah I always select RM for my agoda using my credit cards. Paying with Pay Pal for agoda booking was a reply to fruitie's consideration in using this option.

As for the second sentence, I got no idea if AMEX can use to pay RM bill on paypay. My Pay Pal account Primary currency in is MYR and I top up using direct debit from my bank account.

No TP

Second paragraph above, not necessary untung - if gold price drop,

Bro, it's not a Maybank Promo but Visa's. Therefore applicable to all Visa cards.

I started off my post by stating Great News for those who of been booking their movie ticket online; therefore they can instantly check the promo out. For those of us not use to booking online, need to do some "work".

The ad was in the newspapers on 17 September e.g. The Star. To me it's Visa way of promoting their new security measure i.e. OTP, and encourage more to sign up for it.

Anyway, those of you who have been booking GSC tickets online, please report if you managed to get the free ticket with your Visa card.

For those who are not aware what we are discussing about, below is what I posted earlier.
*

To ALL:
Maybank has come out with a Blogger Contest asking them to blog about "Why Maybank should give me tickets to Legoland".

I guess the above shows that Maybank acknowledge the influence of blogger's comments on their products. So smart of Maybank to use us to promote their products for FREE.

Come to think of it, I am stupid to have been promoting for FREE their wonderful cash back Maybankard 2 Cards American Express and Visa Infinite for local and overseas transactions respectively. But then again, these two cards are truly good in rewarding the cardholders; and, the reason I blog in the first place is to share the benefits of credit cards with you guys.

Many of you here have posted at this section that you do read my articles and some of you were influenced by it and ended getting the MBB 2 Cards and OCBC TMC

And to show my appreciation to my readers who have to bear my long winded articles, I have written another long winded article on it If you have time to spare, please click below link to read more:
