I just read the T&C of the contest and highlighted in my Facebook Page that the contest is only open to PRINCIPAL card members. Take note.

Does this apply to all MBB2 and MB2 Premier also? So I'd need to send 4 SMS to qualify across all the cards?

are you sure the rate by maybank is base on transaction date and not on posting date?
*
According to Maybank SG website (couldn't find the same for Malaysia)

QUOTE
The conversion rate applied is based on the Posting Date of the Card Transaction to the Card Account which may be different to the rate in effect on the date of the Card Transaction.


So I'm assuming Malaysia would be the same.

BTW, those dates I used for FX were the posting dates, not transaction dates smile.gif

it does matter...
different day different forex rate..calculation can be wrong..
i thought we are finding which card(VI or AMEX) giving lower rate
i see...perhaps i should go there and have a look smile.gif
*
Well the transactions on 11/03 there is a 1% difference between VI and Amex , those are the only ones which share the same posting date.

could you confirm whether the transaction 6 and 7 in the picture are different transaction date?
maybe we can conclude the forex rate are based on posting date smile.gif

Same transaction date (3 also)

Just collected my cards today  rclxm9.gif

Amex = Maybankard
VI = Maybank

Strange, both my old and new VI are both "Maybankard"

My MBB2 Amex is "Maybank" and Amex Reserve is "Maybankard"

if we have this card and the maybankard... can we use the points earn from maybankard and redeem the Enrich miles using the 2 card premier exchange rate? tia

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Mar 27 2014, 06:14 PM)
Not possible at all

I thought someone in this thread earlier said he was cancelling MBB2 and Maybank said they'd move the points across?

Would be good if this was possible ...

Earlier someone mentioned it's possible. Worst case scenario, cancel platinum and points will have to go to Premier cards.
If you check maybank2u, under Rewards is your total points (including Premier, platinum, supplementary)  I assume it's combined and can be used for any purpose.
Kindly enlighten if gen-x or other sifu have any experience with their vi/wmc + MBB 2 cards .
*
I remember GenX mentioning that he managed to use MBB2 points at VI ration at Maybankard Centre (1U I think?) but that the staff may have done it by mistake.

I may try - but waiting for MAS year end promotion to redeem 10% extra point ... going to have a huge amount of Enrich miles for once brows.gif

Is it 10% extra points for conversion of tp to enrich? I think I've seen it before somewhere
*
Yeah ... had it last year also.

7000 TP on MBB2 for 1100 Enrich
4500 TP on VI/Reserve for 1100 Enrich

Not so exciting - just a card holder (same as supplied with VI, which I've never used either whistling.gif ) I think GenX has posted his picture before ..

Regarding the leaflet that comes with the card : RM500 MAS Holiday voucher, if RM5K spent within 30 days of activation for first 400 cardholders

Yes, i was told this is possible by a maybank counter staff.  The trick is you must cancel all your other maybankard, and have only the VISA infinite or the new maybank amex premier.  That way the only way to conserve your treatpoints will be to xfer it to your existing card.  The staff said " I am not suggesting you to do it like this, but it has been successfully done before".  I myself have never tried it because I still want to retain my maybank 2 card as the amex gives 5% rebate.  The idea did cross my mind to cancel my mbb2card, move my 200k treatpoints to the VISA infinite, redeem all treatpoints to enrich miles at 4.5k treatpoints per 1k miles.  Then immediately apply back MBB2card for the 5% rebate.  The same counter staff told me once i cancel the mbb2card, i cannot apply back that same card for 6 months.  Have to wait 6 months before i can apply the card again.  And thus i opt to keep my mbb2card.
*
Hmm

Need to calculate I guess if it's worth it for moving the TP across, but seems like a hassle to cancel the cards then re-apply again (especially as I used FD to apply for MBB2 also)

so far I've tried adding my card to uber (failed), namecheap (failed), asos (seems like it went through)

I think I will call the CS again today.
*
Maybe Maybank have the wrong 4 digit security code in their system, hence transactions not approved? This happened to me, the code printer on my card was different than on their system rclxub.gif

I actually tried 2 transactions with ASOS recently, both times I received SMS that payment went through - but they requested for extra documents (passport scan etc,) so I gave up laugh.gif

after a lot of back and forth with different maybank CSRs and some online merchants today, this woman from MB finally told me AMEX blocks a lot of transactions from merchants by default due to fraud, even paypal  rclxub.gif

so apparently the process is to call in AFTER the transaction fails, request for them to NOT decline paypal (or any other merchants), stipulate a time frame (max one month). For longer time periods like "as long as the card is valid", they require you to email in with a LIST of the merchants you won't want blocked.

Wahlao.

This is for the AMEX only btw, I haven't encountered any declines with the VI.

Btw, I requested the SMS alerts threshold to be changed to RM1, she told me it will take 3 days  rclxub.gif is this true?
*
Odd - I didn't have this issue with my Amex. Not sure about SMS alerts as I haven't changed mine!

I actually just did an online transaction for over RM8K online via AMEX - no SMS code required and went straight through whistling.gif

isn't that... worrying?
*
Maybe where I used it was considered low risk? If I try PayPal or others I often get phone calls to confirm the transaction.

But sometimes Maybank seems slow - they called me 2 weeks after I took the card to ask me if I've already collected them and if I'd used them for any transactions (there were plenty by then!)

Then again, in the case of fraud we're not personally liable (unless through carelessness etc.)

Aspire RM50K, PW RM250K deposit right?

I signed up to PW like 2 months ago but so far haven't got the card - apparently Maybank have some issues, so much for "Premier" service rclxub.gif

Yeah, I have the recognition card just not the PW debit card. Apparently there's some issue with them (relating to PIN not working rclxub.gif )
