Ah, dilemna. I just applied for the Maybank VISA infinte and the AMEX platinum card last november. I also having the AMEX 2 card for the 5% weekend rebate. I went for the AMEX platinum cause I want the unlimited plaza premier lounge access.

I have paid the RM 50 GST for both VI and AMEX platinum. So if i were to switch to this new 2 card combo, I have to pay another RM 50x2 again? Maybe I should not switch then. I know I can hit the RM50k per annum spending on VI, but now the 2card combo requires RM80k, not sure if I can hit that.

Maybe I should just stay with my current VI with Amex Platinum, and still keep using the mayban amex 2 card for weekend 5% rebate.

And yeah, i was told my one maybank officer over the counter, to maximise points, all the 5x points u've earned with Amex 2 card, just cancel them, they will xfer to ur remaining maybank card, so if it's VI, then ur treatpoints value will increase cause it will qualify u to be able to redeem enrich miles at lower value. He said it's been done before, but he's not suggesting me to do it, hehe.

First year is free. Second year onwards annual fee is RM 2.3k i think. No options to waive. Just gonna utilise it as much for this 1 year subscription.

ah my mistake, it's the amex plat credit cardd with annual fee RM800.

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.
