Hi guys, should I get this card? I currently hold a gold amex (without maybank logo) and realized how crappy the benefits are compared to the maybank 2. However a couple of places that i frequent do not accept amex and if i'm caught in an emergency situation and amex is not accepted then im screwed.

Thus I decided to apply for ocbc titanium last week. But now it seems like ocbc is dumping the card so i'm back to thinking if I should just go for this since it also comes with a visa/master for my emergency or non-amex accepting transactions.

You thoughts?

I've been using amex gold card for more than 5 years, they have never waived the gst.
You have to use your points to waive it.

Dude you are awesome. If I didn't stumble upon your blog, I would have never discovered how good this card is. Kudos to you.

My platinum amex and visa got approved in 1 hour from maybank @ klcc yesterday.
All they needed was my 3 months payslip because I wanted platinum.

Try applying at KLCC Maybankcard Centre. It took me 1 hour to get my platinum cards. No need any documents since salary goes into maybank.

Thanks to the Visa Agoda Promo, I am glad I have selected visa tongue.gif

I was asked if I wanted visa or master, I chose visa since I have ocbc ti, but now planning to cancel the ocbc ti and wish I had selected mbb2 master instead sad.gif

i will always use amex card wherever possible
only if the merchant dont accept amex, i will use visa/master. therefore looking for replacement card
*
Heck yeah, always use Amex where possible. Why not just use the mbb2 visa/master for those merchants that don't accept amex? You'd still get 1x points.

Getting another card just for non-amex accepting situations might not be so viable if you dont spend alot on that card. The cards annual fee and RM50 gst might make you lose money if you don't meet requirements to waive/offset them. Just my humble opinion.

Amex's cash back is valid for purchases on the weekend. Any reason why weekend and not the whole week? They charge a higher rate for weekend transactions and thus can afford for the cashback?

What are the % fee charges for VISA/MASTER vs AMEX? Just wondering on the differences.

Thanks.
*
Just guessing the reason being that most working individuals or families only have time to shop on the weekends.

Hence, this card is perfect to help them save more during their weekend shopping trips.

my opinion maybank doesn't want to make it easy for us to get cashback have to plan it for weekends

Yeah that too is right, otherwise Amex might suffer the same fate as ocbc ti. tongue.gif

Any transaction done with Amex on weekends gives you 5% cashback.
