I'm surprised that both of you have to create NEW M2U login username when you get a new savings account. My experience is different though. I have an old savings account with MBB and have been using M2U ever since. Then when I applied for MBB Amex2, my credit card (Amex + Visa) were automatically linked to my M2U login username. I never had to create separate username for credit card and savings account.

When I signed up for M2U 2 years ago at a MBB branch (after I got the Maybankard 2 Cards), I gave the person at the branch
all my MBB credit cards numbers i.e. MBB 2 Visa, MBB 2 AMEX, MBB Petronas Plat and MBB MasterCard Plat and had the MBB 2 Visa assigned as the "main card" for the account. Upon signing up with temporary password, all my MBB cards were shown on the system. I cannot remember if my MBB VI was automatically linked to it after I got it or I had to request for it to be linked.
And last year when I opened a MBB Savings Account and got their debit card, I was told I had to sign up for another M2U account, and once again I gave them all my credit cards numbers at the branch so that the officer can assigned them to the
new M2U account. Too bad my genxgenygenz.blogspot have been removed by google else I had an article about it.
Good question... I am curious too. Agoda offices are located overseas from my previous bookings.
For local hotels, usually I just call them for the best rates.

I did the same too. When i received my MBB2 cards 2 years ago (gosh, time flies!!), i did not have any CASA with Maybank then. I applied for M2U using my MBB2 AMEX, and after successfully setting up my M2U, they helped me to link my MBB2 VISA to this M2U account. Don't know why they couldn't link my mom's MBB2 MasterCard to her M2U account (under MBB2 AMEX)
I got myself a Maybank savings account a few months later that same year and just like you, i had to set up another M2U login username. When it was all done, all my accounts including my credit cards automatically appear in that M2U account. They didn't have to manually link all my credit cards to my savings account's M2U
I believe one still have to choose USD because Agoda seems to be using USD as the clearing currency for all their hotel bookings... i am not completely sure though.
Agoda offices are still located overseas, by the way. They have one office in Bangkok at Central World and it seems that all bookings from Southeast Asia is processed by their Bangkok office. But whenever they bill us, GB (Great Britain) always appears in our credit card bill.
