Thanks for the advice!

As I mentioned earlier I already have MB visa debit so I prefer to have mastercard instead for the extra flexibility. Amex will be the top priority of course but unfortunately not many places I frequent accept Amex

Just called CS and she said I need to submit the change form at MB branch. why they can't just do it over the phone

Hi,

Just got my maybank 2 cards

Wanna ask about the 5% cash back on weekend for Unifi / Digi bills. If i apply for auto-pay for the bills, do i can 5% cash back? Or must i pay manually over the web during weekend to earn the 5% cash back? Paying school fees eg KDU college for my sister can get cash back also? (i knew it only earn 2x rewards point).


Thanks~!

auto-pay or not..as long it fall on weekend then yes, 5% cash back..
since auto pay not necessary fall on weekend, so pay manually better...

as for paying school fees, yes, you will get 5% cashback provided they accept amex and payment make on weekend

Quick question. When does Maybank usually issue renewal cards? Are they couriered? Mine will be expiring in Oct

Changing the card in actual is like cancel your current card and apply for a new card. They are doing this to make your life "harder" it seems, but this si to protect you against potential fraud.

Don't do direct debit and pay on weekends. Might be tedious but this is to ensure you get that 5% CB

Hi,

Yes this was it! I indeed applied for a balance transfer of RM2K... 3% which would be RM60!

But i don't see the credit amount of 2k yet though...

did anyone get sms reply about successful entry to the RM100 hourly cashback promo from maybank?

i registered mine via sms 2 weeks back but without any reply from them, not sure i am registered after all...

Just resend again... the reply should come back very fast within 1 minute

except for Celcom because u can get 5% discount of total bill charged when u subscribe for auto-payment with Amex CC.
u still get the same amount of cashback, without affecting your cashback limit

Still the same but if the debit done on weekdays, then only 5%
If I were that have WISE, use that, then sure can get 15%

wise got minimum amount transaction.
sometime it couldn't be covered

That's why, all cards got its limits.

mastercard(all banks) 15% discount for universal studio for now
amex(maybank) 15% discount + $5 food voucher

the amex include the weekend 5% cashback already?

anyone tried to use paypal(with amex) to pay maxis bill? is it working?

not yet. weekend you'll get additional 5% cash back

paypal + amex + RM = not working

Alternatively, you can call Maxis to arrange a callback on Saturday morning.

kinda hassle but oh well, 5% of cashback cant be missed

I just published my article titled A Little Bit Of this and A Little Bit Of That - Vol.1, Chapter IV.

In this article, the matters I touched on relating to credit cards are:

1. Overseas Transactions Maybank 2 Cards Premier AMEX Reserve versus Maybank Visa Infinite. Like my Maybank 2 Platinum AMEX, once again my Maybank 2 Cards Premier AMEX Reserve gave me a lower conversion fee compared to my Visa Infinite.

2. Maybank 2 Cards and Maybank 2 Cards Premier Supp Card Approval time at The Gardens Mid Valley. It seems nowadays Maybankard Centre will only approve new Maybankard 2 Cards applications within 2 hours on weekdays if one applies before 7pm.

3. Agoda Wednesday Discount with Visa.

For those not into reading my article, here is the Agoda VISA Wednesday info:

Booking Period for the 12% Discount on Wednesday with VISA:
2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 April 2014.
7, 14, 21 and 28 May 2014.
4 June 2014

However, the stay period is only until 31st December 2014. This means that if you book the hotel room for 1st January 2015 onward, you won't be entitled for the 12% discount.
