1. depend on where you travel to
2. you can use promo or full fare to compare, one of the advantage with MAS is that they don't really limit the number of seats for enrich redemption so you can book real late and yet able to secure a seat. Unless you book during special promo.
3. If you dig through gen-x blog, I think in some situation it work out to be 20+% rebate. I recently calculated my intended booking and its about 10+% rebate redeeming a non promo business class seat.

The whole point is that I would not have thought of travelling in business class I.e. forking out thousands or even tens of thousand for one of these seat but with the conversion from cc (sacrificing cash rebate), we are able to do so.

1.5 weeks the card has show up on m2u, still haven't receive it.

nearly throw my phone reading this

finally received mine, its "Maybank" instead of "Maybankard"

my first swipe of VI

PPL so foc?

I didn't want to visit but when I am on my way to car park I saw Thai Odyssey and thinking why not since I skip lunch.

choice is super limited and small. not a chance I will pay for this crap lol

it is sad, I see also no appetite.

I guess better go try spa wellness, seems like its the best choice

any idea how long they will take to credit the activation bonus TP? (20k for principal?)

Submitted my form for priority pass last Saturday to one u card center, received the card on Friday.

The count for annually entry of 5 is based on year or the anniversary of the priority pass?

Guys,VI or AR better bet for SGD?

man so fast 1 year? luckily even though i pledge fd (topping up) they gave me 3 years validity

Guys for foreign currency transation, I used VI and the merchant copy allow me to tick either SGD or MYR. The customer copy show SGD. But SMS alert show transaction made in MYR at a ridiculous exchange rate. I called MBB on the spot and they ask me to request for merchant to void and try again. Then same thing happen.

Is this normal? They will recorrect the amount based on the slip or what?

crap, is there anyway to dispute this?

Does this mean it doesn't matter what the sales people do, it will automatically be a DCC transaction because the shop has 'sign up' for such package?

On the merchant slip there is an option to tick either MYR or SGD, similar to the link Wongchoy has shown.

After they cancel the first transaction, I specifically ask them to choose SGD but again the SMS came it is in MYR.

I have similar experience in airport, choose foreign currency and all good. May be the merchant playing trick choosing MYR as it is advantage to them

cut long story short, if the shop is engaged in DCC it doesn't really matter what we do. Correct?

Guys, an update on my case.

I can see now in my M2u the transaction was made in SGD. So apparently the shop was honest about it and somehow the SMS system capture it as DCC transaction but in my M2u it is captured as SGD and converted at a lower rate.

Been charged 2.39% on my VI for SGD transaction.

Visa rate: 2.5834

Rate charged: 2.6451

It should be, my case was a little different as the shop choose SGD but SMS came instantly notifying transaction made in MYR.

May be the slip where I tick SGD, I am not sure but need to be very aware.

Lucky i made my purchase last week, 2.6451

question; is the miles worth paying 2.5% for it?

say RM 10k equivalent to RM250 extra for 11k miles.

my experience diff a little, i went to 1U card center and the staff told me it has nothing to do with them as you need to pledge FD with a branch.

My experience (if you are ok with default 30k credit limit)

1. Write a letter to MBB, send by e-mail stating your willingness to pledge fd and ask them to advise how much to pledge
2. Wait for an official letter from MBB mail to your address
3. Bring the letter to a branch, pledge FD and pay RM10

Worse case just cancel it if they refuse to waive. 60k you already earn 67 Enrich Miles for free. Assuming you get 5xTP for the full 60k.
