did you request for balance transfer/installment plan or etc?
is this mbb2card or just stand alone visa platinum?

Master and Visa basically are same, except AMEX.
If you have M2U, this is normal. Mine are shown on first week when the form submitted. You applied the cards on branch or booth in shopping complex?

someone from maybank branch call me to offer free credit card and they can post the card to my house. i was offered this free credit card because they said i have a car loan with them. i have checked my maybank2u today and i can see the maybankard 2 visa gold and maybankard 2 amex gold there. it has a "activate' button. i'm confused now. what is the annual fee of this card?

Free for life. Best card in Malaysia at the moment. Keep it!

The cards are free for life, only 1 GST apply for both cards.

I've had this happen on both my Maybank and Citibank cards. I called up Citibank immediately, I received it at something like 630pm and was able to talk to someone immediately. Card cancelled etc. so that was easy.

In Maybank's case I received the SMS late (was traveling) and only contacted them many hours after. Maybank on their part cancelled the card, and in fact left the card inactive for close to a month while I was overseas. In the end the charges did not appear on the card at all. I'm not sure if the charge was blocked or if the authorization was denied or something else.

While the fraud tools are in place, consumer protection for credit cards (or for anything else) in Malaysia is sadly lacking. I never have to worry about anything on my US based debit/credit cards, a single message to the bank is enough to reverse the charges but I'm always afraid of fraud on my Malaysian cards.

should be ok. my prev case was around 4am SMS, but called maybank around 7am too. Maybank told me the charges are still floating, so they can stop it from going thru.

gotten new card 1 week after. statement didnt show the fraud transaction, so Maybank have stopped it the moment i reported the fraud transaction. so far, nearly 1 year after replacement, safe and sound.

every bank have fraud cases wannn. just Maybank is a big bank with huge customer base. chances of any of its customer kena fraud is there.

the SMS notificatoin is a precaution for us customers to protect ourself. first line of defense

i think it is best to update the 1st page regarding how to handle fraud case

I applied the cards at their branch. Have been waiting for nearly a month now. So even though it shows visa in MB2U, I actually can still get mastercard?

Not really, once shown on system, you have to apply to change it. But so far any merchant that accept Visa will accept Mastercard also.
And once you got this combination, you will be using AMEX most of the time only unless they are not accepting AMEX.

does it matter so much to you whether it's a mastercard or visa? i think when you get the card, you will be using amex more instead of mastercard or visa (for maximum benefits).

anyway, if that really matters, you may call the cs and request them to change the visa to mastercard saying that you did mentioned during your application that you wanted for a mastercard instead of visa.

for your information, there is no difference between mastercard and visa because both are widely accepted. the difference are mainly on exclusive promotion done by mastercard or visa. for example, get 10% discount on agoda with visa on wednesday or get 10% discount on universal studio sg entrance ticket with mastercard (previous promo).

previously i've ikhwan card with 75000 treatspoint. but whenever i applied maybank2card and terminate ikhwan card, all the point gone. I asked CS either points will remain eventhough i terminate Ikhwan and she said yes ( Garden Maybankard Center)

how to gain back my 75k treatspoint ( RM300 ) ? should i call CS ?

Call CS ask them to transfer the points to your M2kard. Btw, your M2U account is it still showing the Ikhwan card?

noted, will call them asap.

yup, still showing...

and dun forget the free slice of cake with RM 38 spend in secret recipe...
