You can check your Maybankard 2 Cards transactions online with Maybank2U.com

If you do not have a Current or Savings Account with Maybank but you want a Maybank2U online account to check your Maybankard 2 Cards transactions, you need to go to a Maybank branch to get it done. Better that you inform the officer that you want the Maybankard 2 Visa or MasterCard as the main account and add your Maybankard 2 Amex to it. However if you want your Maybankard 2 Amex to be the main card for the account, when you first log in to register username add 0 to the 15 digits of your Amex card. Maybank2U for Maybank Credit Cards - You Don't Need To Have A Maybank Current or Savings Account.

However, if you are new to credit cards, I strongly recommend that you DO NOT opt for the paperless option (i.e. receive our monthly statements online) until you familiarize yourself with Statement Balance, Outstanding Balance, Minimum Payment and Payment Due Date.

V9 report in!!!

Weeee...V9

Guys, a quick question for those have booked flights from MAS website before. I intend to book for my upcoming trip on one of the weekends (either later in the afternoon or next Saturday) and I noticed it accepts AmEx. Has anybody booked before and got the 5% weekend rebate?

as far as i remembered, they process payments on weekends but my transaction only got posted 1 month later

That's so cool to have it posted a month later.
I don't think it happens all the time.
Thanks for the feedback, it delights me. After weekend 5% rebate is cheaper than AirAsia. I'll go for MAS then.

new thered...
