For this card, both card being charged GST. So need to pay RM100 GST annually. Can see it at maybank website by clicking "click here" at " Save upto RM 6,776* in ayear. * Based on RM7,000 spend a month. Click here for calculation of savings." Line in maybank website. You will see it stated RM100 GST applicable.

WOW! Fantastic, local spending 5X TP with same conversion for Enrich Miles as MBB VI. Based on what I have been preaching that my Maybank Visa Infinite gives me up to equivalent 30% cash back for overseas spending (click here to read my article about it), the same can be said for this card (the AMEX) smile.gif So, this card is excellent for those who spend RM80K a year locally.

However, too bad its for AMEX only and not Visa or MasterCard, therefore I won't be applying for this card. IF it had offered 5X TP for the Visa or for government bodies then I definitely will go find someway to get it. I just used my MBB VI to get 2X TP pay for local council assessment bills and earn myself 2X TP too. Nowadays my major local expenses are for Air Asia tickets and it is no where near the RM80K spending to get auto annual fee waiver. For overseas, I still think Maybank Visa is better as it is accepted at more places including for schools/universities tuition fees.

But this Amex comes together with the VI - and the RM80k spending limit is combined between the two. If you can reach RM80K between Amex locally and VI overseas this card makes sense for Enrich collecting

Although I have to admit, Maybank website doesn't give great details at all.

So it comes with VI giving 5XTP and 2XTP for overseas and local spending respectively? If yes, you are right, I should go get these cards.

Indeed.

See below reply from Maybank when I enquired :

They should really change their product information page on their website and give full information. Doesn't even say there which card is supplied!

If we can choose between Visa and MasterCard, then the minimum spend to get the annual fee waiver won't be just RM80K per annum. tongue.gif

Spoke to CS today to apply, they'll call me back tomorrow to complete. But according to the guy I'd need to do the application first then only cancel my existing VI after.

I hope this isn't the case as I've put FDs for all my Maybank cards and don't want to go through the hassle of linking another one for the new card. I hope they can clarify tomorrow

Haha, the Reserve Amex only comes with VI...

You see, in order to get the annual fee waiver on the WMC, one need to spend RM120K per annum. If the Reserve Amex can let us choose Between the VI and WMC, it's more worth to get the companion of WMC, as it's just need to spend RM80K per annum only. Hehe...

BTW, not easy to spend RM100K per year lah..

Oh, I get it now, yes MBB WMC requirement is high.

To ALL:

I did call MBB CS today to redeem my TP to Enrich so ask them the MBB 2 Premier. Now MBB VI downgraded to 3rd position i.e. Press 1 for WMC, Press 2 for MBB 2 Premier and Press 3 for VI.

The guy told me:

1. Download form to apply - and submit with docs (i.e. income). You guys know this is a problem for me sweat.gif

2. The MBB 2 Premier comes with PPMC card that allows 5 FREE entries. And if I keep my existing MBB VI (I already meet the min requirement for waiver) and get the MBB 2 Premier, total 10 FREE entries to airport lounge thumbup.gif
