No, service tax will not be charged again where a replacement card is issued due to the original card being lost, stolen or fraudulently used, regardless of the new card number.

You are welcome. See Item 5 of this link from Standard Chartered Malaysia:

The RM50, if charged, would be the penalty/service charge for replacement of lost cards, and not the service tax discussed earlier. I guess you could try requesting for a waiver of the service charge.

Cheating? This is shown on the link you provided.

For American Express cards, the security code is the 4-digit number printed on the front side of the card above the card number.

Yes, for Amex, it's the 4-digit number on the right above your card number.

I always use my Amex for all my AirAsia bookings.

Yes, AirAsia now charges a processing fee of RM8 per person per sector, ie, RM16 for a return trip.

@Bongpb: Yes, you are right in that you will be better off paying via direct debiting, but only if your return trip fare does not exceed RM1,600 per person for Amex cards with 2X points, or RM640 per person for Amex cards with 5X points. Beyond those amounts, you'll be earning more than the quantum of the processing fee.

Yes, you have already earned those treatspoints when your charges were posted. Doing a BT is just a mode of settlement of your amount owing.

Yes. The requirements and charges differ among banks. You'd have to look at the individual bank's T&C.

Thought I'd just share this on this Maybankard thread.

Received this gift from Maybank yesterday.

Yes, it's actually a gift for Maybank private banking customers, designed for Maybank by Tenmoku Pottery.

If you are interested in the general Tenmoku products, they have branches in KLCC, Central Market and Genting Skyway Complex. Their website URL is www.tenmokupottery.com.my .

No, there will not be any restarts, unfortunately. The total cash back is capped at RM3,000,000 throughout the campaign period of 01.12.2012 - 31.01.2013.

This is the new Maybank Private Banking MasterCard Platinum Debit, that comes with the newly launched Maybank Private Banking Current Account.

MBB's requirement is RM250k in investable assets or RM1 million in total financial assets.

Depends on who the other pax is.

As per certificate of insurance:

a) The Basic or Supplementary Maybankard 2 Platinum
Cardmember who is the holder of a valid issued by Maybank

b) The legally married Spouse or Dependent Child under the age
of 23 of any eligible person described in (a) above; and
2. His or her Maybankard 2 Platinum Card Account is billed from Malaysia.

Also:

It's part of the terms of the insurance policy. If you don't do that, the insurer will not honor your claims.

AirAsia charges a processing fee of RM8 per passenger per sector, ie, RM16 for a return trip. With 5x points from Maybankard 2 Amex, the breakeven would be RM640 for a return ticket for one person. Beyond RM640, one would be better off using the Maybankard 2 Amex. And this is before any other applicable rebates, if any.

By the way, if one is entitled to 5x points AND 5% cash back, a return ticket price of RM214 would be sufficient to cover the processing fee. If you always buy cheaper than that, you must be a vivid hunter of offers and discounts.

Ahhh ok.. So RM640 is a more realistic benchmark then.

Should be the same every month, ie, statement date 3rd and due date 23rd. I've encountered variations of 1 day though, several times.
