I am pleased to announced that I have published my third Credit Card Ultimate Showdown - The Best Top 10 Credit Cards in Malaysia 2014. And it is no surprised that the Maybankard 2 Cards Platinum is once again ranked second to none. As for the Maybankard 2 Cards Gold, based on my evaluation, is in my also still in my Top 10 Credit Cards list

In view that Maybank Treats Points now have validity period of 3 years like most banks, I have included a new category for my evaluation, i.e. timeless evergreen reward points.

A total of 22 credit cards were evaluated and reviewed plus one special evaluation in the conclusion. And from my review, the Maybankard 2 Cards Platinum (and Gold too in some cases) even beats premium credit cards when compared to Citibank Prestige MasterCard World and PremierMiles AMEX; AmBank Visa Infinite and World MasterCard; CIMB Visa Signature, CIMB World MasterCard and Visa Infinite; Hong Leong Bank Visa Signature; HSBC Visa Signature; RHB Visa Signature; and versus UOB Visa Infinite.

Good News - Our MBB 2 AMEX now has MSOS SafeKey.

I wanted to purchase Air Asia ticket and was rejected because I needed to activate AMEX MSOS SafeKey.

So I called MBB CS and registered for the MSOS for my AMEX. Within minutes I received an SMS informing that my registration has been successful and immediately I can purchase the Air Asia tickets.

alexwsk, bro, can i suggest that the AMEX SafeKey feature be mentioned somewhere in Page#1.

And those of you who have took the time to post kind words here at LYN informing me that you appreciate my hard work, I am grateful to each and every one of you and to show my gratitude, I just published an article Zillions Thanks for Your Support. and if you are a facebook user, I also thanked you guys at my Facebook Account.

We all know that our nowadays our Treats Points has validity period of 3 years. One way to stretch it to 6 years is convert it to Enrich Miles (validity period 3 years too).

Previously in my article My Son Is Going to The USA Again on Business Class, I have shown that we get equivalent cash back up to 19.19% and 12.33% when we redeem Malaysia Airline Business Class ticket using the Enrich Miles converted from the Treats Points earned with the Maybank Visa Infinite and Maybankard 2 Cards respectively.

MAS is currently have a promo and so is Enrich Miles offering 50% discount until 8th December 2013. With the Enrich Miles 50% discount, the equivalent "cash back" we earn from using the Maybank Visa Infinite and Maybankard 2 Cards AMEX increases to 30.88% and 19% respectively.

Yesterday I posted below at General Thread

Today is Wednesday, I just did a booking for January in SG, wanted 4 rooms but they only had 2 left for the cheaper room. So I booked it and then click "Book Another Room" but the discount did not show after I key in my MBB Visa Infinite credit card number the second time around. So what I did was close the window and click again the link to Agoda Wednesday Promo in my wordpress blog and book the 2 additional rooms again and enter my Visa card number and was given discount again.

Bro, since your annual income more then RM36K/yr, the max 2 card iisuers/bank policy does not applies to you. Click link below to learn more

You will 5X TP everyday except for Insurance, Government related payments and Education. Please refer Post#1.

is there a Harvey Norman in Seremban? I now there's a Courts. Both accept AMEX.

However, since you coming back during CNY, sure stock very limited for iPad mini, but no harm calling them up and check.

Yes, only the word Maybank is printed on the new cards. Got my replacement card too recently as the previous one was used for an unauthorized online transaction - click here to read about it in my article titled A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That AGAIN.

I guess you don't come here often and don't usually read the last page before you post. Many of us have reported unauthorized transactions with our MBB 2 AMEX including me.

Yes, no need CASA to have M2U. I posted it since V1 and today we at V8 it is still stated in Post#1.

I managed to open a M2U with my Maybank credit cards when I first got my MBB 2 Card years ago. But then I found out about Maybank Online Account paying relatively high interest rate so I opened a MBB Savings Account where a new M2U account will be created and I had to link all my Maybank credit cards to it on the day the Savings Account/M2U was created. I did published an article about my experience on this second M2U account but too bad that articles is no longer available.

Those of you who have more than RM2K at any time in your Savings Account, maybe you should look at Maybank 2U Savers and Saver-i. Click here to read my article The Best Savings Account in Malaysia.

So

1. You need the card in hand before you can sign up for M2U and you don't need MBB CASA.

2. Why don't you just go to your CIMB Clicks and check out "Transfer/Payment" and you sure will find out for sure.

3. You'll get paper statement. If you want eStatement without M2U, call MBB Customer Service to find out. But if you have M2U, you can then select the paperless option; however, I strongly recommend that you do not select the paperless/eStatment option for a few months to familiarize on how M2U summary works by comparing it to the paper statement.

What! Like this other banks will follow sooner or later.

Other banks is you have online account then maybe it is acceptable.

Couple years ago I signed up for HSBC online not knowing that will automatically stop paper statement for my credit card! Missed a couple payments

UOB also now automatically stop issuing Paper Statements if one has online account but I requested for paper statement to continue and until now I still get them FOC.

aiyah, call customer service and ask why your card can't be used and did their system showed you try to perform the transaction. Most probably they will tell you your card is on order and ask you to try again but you never know...

How can it not be an unauthorized transaction if you did not perform it? Call Customer Service again and report that you did not use you card for any transactions as per the sms received.

If it is floating, then maybe nothing to dispute if the transactions are posted. But still odd that they did not suspend your card. Better keep track on the transactions bro.

The last time I had an unauthorized transactions, immediately MBB CS suspended my AMEX card, click here to read about it in my article A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That AGAIN. In this article I also mentioned how I had to go about paying my AMEX bill with M2U because once my account was suspended, the account no longer shows in my M2U!
