But the simplest and fastest method to get the Maybankard 2 Cards is by visiting a Maybankard Centre at 1U, The Gardens or KLCC where your application will be process within an hour or so. Click here to read Gen-X article on it. Please note, it is Maybankard Centre and NOT Maybank Branch.

If you need further clarifications (e.g. what documents to bring along) on the 1 hour approval at 1U Card Centre, you may contact them at number below. Contact Info contributed by Human Nature.

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.

Maybankard 2 Cards FAQ:

1. The rebate is calculated according to the CALENDER month.
2. The rebate is usually credited to the AMEX card on the 1st or 2nd of the month.
3. For Principal Cards, the RM50 GST for AMEX is waived, but RM50 GST for Visa/MC remains.
4. For Supplementary cards, RM25 GST is imposed onto each Amex, Visa or MasterCard, so the total is RM50.
5. The GST will be billed a month or two after you received the card.
6. You do not need to activate the cards by calling in. Cards can be used immediately.
7. You do not need to post back the acknowledgment copy when you receive the card by post/courier.
8. The weekend rebate capped of RM50/month for the Maybankard 2 Amex is shared between the Principal and Supp cards.
9. If your M2U shows that you have a Maybankard 2 Cards Account, congratulations, it means you 'll be getting the cards soon. Call Customer Service if you do not want the cards or call them anyway to confirm.
10. You don't need to have a Savings Accounts or other Banking Accounts to have a M2U account for your MBB 2 Cards. You need to go to the branch to sign up for M2U to view your transactions online..
11. If you cannot swipe the card at the merchant, call Customer Service, number behind the card.
12. Fastest way to get the Maybankard 2 Cards is go and apply at MBB Card Centre at 1U or KLCC where they are supposed to process your application within an hour (Monday to Friday).
13. The 5% cash back on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) for MBB 2 AMEX includes Petrol and is additional to the 5X Treats Points. However it is reported that some online transactions on weekends DO NOT earn the 5% cash back as it depends on the timing the merchant processes the transaction.
14. Maybank Platinum credit cards including MBB 2 does not grant free access to KLIA or LCCT Plaza Premium Lounge.
15. You earn 1x TP everyday with your Maybankard 2 Visa or MasterCard and including Petrol. Good for station that does not accept AMEX.
16. If you link your pay pal account to MBB 2 AMEX, it will take 2-3 days before it is shown in M2U.
17. Dell got no installment plan with AMEX and you won't get cash back if you purchase online on weekends.
18. 12,500 Treats Points (inflated since 1st Aug 13) to offset RM50 annual GST. Call Maybank Customer Service (Tel No. behind your card).
19. This is what is mentioned behind our Maybankard Statement - Foreign Charges converted by AMEX apply a coversion factor of 2.5% to the converted amount plus 0.5% administration cost imposed by Maybank.
20. The Maybankard 2 AMEX earns you 1x TP for every RM charged to your card by default. The rest of the TP is recorded as 4x bonus TP (written as MAYBANKARD 2 AMEX 4X BONUS in your statement), making it a total of 5x TP for all charges made to your MBB2 AMEX.
21. To earn the 5% cash back, TRANSACTION DATE shown in M2U or statement must be on weekend (Sat/Sun), posting date does not matter.
22. The 5% Cash Back payout MONTH is subjected to POSTING DATE not transaction date. You will always get the cash back on the 1st day of the following month straight after the POSTING DATE. Here's a detail example by ronnie
QUOTE(ronnie @ Oct 29 2011 @ 06:18 PM)
The last weekend for October 2011 is 29th and 30th October.
Only those transactions done on 29th/30th must be posted on or before 31 October 2011 to be part of the October's RM50 rebate calculation.

Eg.
Transaction Date : 29 October 2011
Posting Date : 29 October 2011
Included in the October 2011 Weekend Rebate calculation

Transaction Date : 29 October 2011
Posting Date : 30 October 2011
Included in the October 2011 Weekend Rebate calculation

Transaction Date : 29 October 2011
Posting Date : 31 October 2011
Included in the October 2011 Weekend Rebate calculation

Transaction Date : 29 October 2011
Posting Date : 1 November 2011
Included in the November 2011 Weekend Rebate calculation

Transaction Date : 29 October 2011

For PAYPAL with MBB 2 AMEX to earn 5% cash back (Non RM Transaction Only).

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ May 13 2012 @ 02:56 PM)
Of late, every time I use PayPal to pay PayPal merchant, the payment wouldn't go thru. I need to call maybank Amex CS to "unbarred" payment from 1 day up to maximum 1 month in order to proceed with the payment. I asked why need to call CS to make a PayPal payment even though the amount is less than usd10, CS replied this is new security measure.
You guys faced this situation before ?
QUOTE(ben3003 @ May 13 2012 @ 03:07 PM)
yeah, i called maybank and they said the same thing, and they say especially for paypal transaction becos paypal very easy kena fraud.

Confirmed by nuodi on 09/01/2014: Additional 5% usual cash back for M2 Amex during weekend

QUOTE(nuodi @ Jan 9 2014, 01:20 PM)
Did 2 agoda bookings with amex in the past 2 weeks.
Both transactions captured as weekend transactions... so extra rebate 5% was given.  smile.gif

Perhaps they have changed their system to perform transactions on weekends. Posting date as usual is always late about 3-4 days later, so just be careful if making month end transaction.

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Jun 4 2013, 11:31 PM)
Guys, things have changed with Agoda now. From now on, always choose MYR as your checkout currency as Agoda's rate is now better than ever! And you will save even more if you have MBB2 AMEX. And because your card will be billed in MYR, you do not have to worry about AMEX's high foreign exchange rate! I have just booked a room through the Maybank Agoda promotion landing page, paid with my MBB2 AMEX, got 7% off + about 2.5% (5x TP) + redeemed 12,500 Agoda rewards points (equivalent to USD25). Save myself quite some money.

You can now pay TNB and TM bills through Maybank2U as well rclxm9.gif
Go to Bill Payment > select the bills you want to pay and select from account your Maybankard 2 Amex. If you do not see it, means it cannot be use for that particular bill.

QUOTE(ck23 @ Sep 23 2012 @ 10:00 AM)
CALLED TO M2U CALL CENTRE, ANY CREDIT CARD BILL PAYMENT IS LIMITED TO TWO BILLS TO THE SAME PAYEE IN A WEEK TIME. SO AMEX CAN PAY 2 BILLS UNDER SAME CORPORATE PAYEE IN ONE WEEK ONLY. THE 3RD BILLS HAVE TO WAIT NEXT WEEK.

Wait for a few days and check your statement - the transaction won't actually appear.

I had this back in December for a booking also, the initial transaction is only an authorisation but shouldn't appear on your statement

Wait for a few days and check your statement - the transaction won't actually appear.

I had this back in December for a booking also, the initial transaction is only an authorisation but shouldn't appear on your statement

I have a different experience under the Book Now and Pay Nothing.

My sms notification is USD1.00 and it is only for authorization. It will be released within 5 working days.

yes, need someone to update on this. I registered the AMEX credit card through maxis online for payment through phone but couldn't pay. Ended up using the call back service from maxis to pay the bill using AMEX.

my recent experience: i registered my amex and according to CS, the system was down at that time. two weeks passed by and i went and posted my frustration at maxis forum. that very same day, CS called back and gave me a 6-digit pin for Pay-via-phone (bt haven try it yet)...

You going or coming back for good?

AA FREE seat deal.... I just book my ticket to SG, no diff between booking with AA directly or taking up the Big Shot ZERO Promotion redemption. Both end up same price.

And tell you what, if you want PM me when you flying to or from and I go check how many Enrich Points to redeem and you can then check if you got enough TP to convert.

any transaction problem you should call CS.. that is the bestest solution.. actually, in any case of problem you face using the credit card, contacting CS should be your first step.. this is for Maybank case.. from my experience, they have answer for all my credit card problem..

*Meaning TRANSACTION DATE shown in M2U or statement must be on weekend (Sat/Sun) to get the 5% cash back.

Hey guys,
Is the 5% directly rebate/deducted in my credit card statement?
I just got my statement and it doesn't have any rebate.
What should I do? Call the call center?

Yup, transaction date must fall on weekend, posting date never mind.
the 5% rebate will be indicated at the end of the statement. The rebate is calculated on monthly basis... so it might not have appear if this is your fist month of getting the card, you only know Feb rebate when you get the next month statement.

yea, I am sure I spent on weekend only using Amex.

Why is Maybank so confusing - I have a credit card with another bank and the rebate is calculated instantly at time of posting. I don't have to wait for the 1st of the month to see my rebate. Why can't they do this?

And listing MBB AMEX 4x BONUS instead of the 5x they keep advertising everywhere is bound to create confusion as well...

Those who don't check Lowyat will just call CS and mess up the call stats, frustrate other customers because of the call queue & agitate the CSO because they have to keep repeating the same thing over & over again.

So much for being the #1 retail bank in Malaysia.

I believe banks have their way to calculate the rebate; some have different cut off date, some follow statement date, while some only show after you have reached certain threshold. And I'm quite sure the 4x BONUS is correct, since 1+4 = 5 pts.

Well, banks can't decide what they should do without prior information - they should go the logical way and not follow how their system is designed. If their system is doing the calculations later, then they should change it because they're serving the customer not the other way around. Otherwise, they should list it down or train their staff to inform applicants because right now I don't see any rebate as advertised. I feel cheated now. And I'm going to feel cheated until the 1st of March.

Yes I know it's correct - but a customer wants to see 5x points not a 4x + 1x points on their statement. If they want to make it 4x + 1x points then they better advertise it the same way they put it on the statement.

Why do you think MBB should follow other banks and not the other way around.... ???
HLB WISE is even worse... you have to wait +1 month before you can see the 10% rebate. i.e. Jan rebate credit on 28 Feb

If you don't like it why you apply?
you cancel the card right away and apply other bank that suit your style...
nobody forcing you to use this system....

instead of adapting to the system, but you want MBB to adapt to your style?
if the system is so confusing, surely a lot ppl complaint and MBB might change the system...
but the case is not...mean everyone adapting and no problem using the system at all...

You have to understand that every bank has their own system and procedures.
Banks won't entertain such complains, it's customers who have to adapt to it.
If you think it's inconvenient to your lifestyle, you can always choose to terminate it and get other cards

agreed with cherriedpie on the notion that the product should be friendly, transparent, and straightforward.

any good product have these attributes in mind when they developed the product. sadly, not many companies enphasize on these. however, a very good example is Apple smile.gif

ok back to cards. tongue.gif

warning: tl;dr

these banks doesnt bother (much) on user-friendliness in using their cards. heck, i sense these product managers are even geeks/nerds tongue.gif the way they design the cards' features, it's almost designed for rocket scientists, rather than for papa/mama.

at one part, it's the long-standing legacy systems used by most banks. most been used for decades, some maybe newer (e.g. recently core systems upgrade carried out by CIMB during CNY 2014).

the cards behaved such way because they are "working around" the system limitations.

for example mbb2amex gives 1x+4x TP. my best guess is the 1x is the base TP logic designed much earlier for their Reward program. when mbb2card launched with 5x (or any other promos), instead of messing up the 1x TP logic, they added the bonus TP instead. effectively, users still get 5X. however, the workaround confuses the users when they view the TPs in bill statements (yep, i couldnt wrap my puny brains viewing that too. as mgb suggested above, as long as the correct TPs are credited, i'm fine with it.

considering there are millions of mbb card users, tweaking the system logic or even the bill statements have larger impacts, for the better or worse.

too bad, they dont have (any?) budget for A/B testing or focus group, to see which feature works or which dont. they ASSUME the cards will be well acceped, but no one card can fit all type of users with infinite spending behavior.


HLB Wise has the highest CB but also the hardest entry barrier to qualify for CB (10x RM50 trx qualifier, RM100 cap, seleced categories, etc.).

MBB2Card has a decent CB but also have certain barrier (weekend use only, RM50 cap, unlimited categories, etc.)

so on and so on.


and back to Apple. their products are friendly. nice. sleek. elegant. yet i still never own any iDevices in my lifetime. period. why? cuz i hate it. too conformed to its Apple DNA. yuck! tongue.gif tongue.gif so i choose android instead. Samsung previously, now "converted" to Nexus 5.

so choices are there. adapt with it or make alternate choice smile.gif at least we have tens of cards available to cater any type of users.

at the page where you select your payment method and key in your cc number, above it has an option whether to pay now or pay later. by default, it's selected pay now, so if you did not change it, you will be charged immediately.

Sometime it could be multiple transaction to the same payee or merchant. It may have triggered for fraud alarm.

Better call CS for clarification.

I know MyEG is one of them under this category.

Payment through Paypal must be done at 2pm or after 2pm on Saturday (Malaysia) or else the transaction will be recorded as a payment made on Friday. This is because it follow Paypal's USA HQ time. During the months when daylight saving time is observed, you can do it at 1pm or after 1pm on Saturday (Malaysia).
I believe this no longer applies.... It'll be based on Malaysia time from now on, it'll be 0:00AM Saturday to 0:00AM Monday

Hi all, I've just collected my MB2 Platinum yesterday after applying at the branch last week. Previously I have been using normal MB Visa card for 9 years with 10k CL, but now they have increased my CL to 20k. Looking forward to start collecting more TP using the Amex card. My aim is to collect enough TP to convert to Enrich Miles so that I can experience First or Business class ticket to Europe biggrin.gif

May I know why you intend to increase your credit limit until that high?? just call HQ if you want to go oversea and they will increase your credit limit during your traveling period. If you want to buy something that exceed your credit limit you can always put a deposit first to your cc account or swipe/make a full payment at the same time.


Thank You

low CL is good to avoid fraud smile.gif mine still stucked at 8K, only applied temporary CL increase once for oversea biz trip.

temporary CL increase can be done especially for your upcoming wedding dinner. tell CS the reason and expected month, they'll escalate this request internally.


if you consistently over CL every month, then setting a permanent increase is recommended smile.gif

congrats!! thumbup.gif

So a couple of days ago I contacted Maybank officer who took care of my application around 2 weeks ago and it turned out that she might not have processed it yet, because my passport number still isn't in their system. blink.gif

I just re-applied this morning, asking them to make my application somewhat prioritized since I have waited for 2 weeks and my passport number isn't in their system already. yawn.gif

Dear all sifu,

Last sunday I tried to pay MAXIS bill using AMEX but the m2u doesn't allow to do so. May I know how can I pay using Amex card to enjoy 5% cash back from Maybank without paying thru m2u?

Thanks all smile.gif

Do check Page 1, I paste below for your convenience this time biggrin.gif
yup...normal number 123, please register ur card before calling them up...once u register, u can't see ur card details on the site, so there might be a bit confusion on whether u've sucessfully registered. but after register, just give them a call

Pay via Phone Payment
Settle your Maxis mobile and fixed line bills with a simple phone call. Just set up your account to Pay via Phone by filling in your details below then dial 123 ( everytime you want to make a payment )
Press 1 for access to your billing info
Press 1 to perform bill and payment transaction
Press 3 to make a payment
Note : Your may only choose to set up EITHER the Pay via Phone options OR the Direct Debit option. You cannot subscribe to both.

FYI... this is not from me btw, I only cut and paste for your convenience. tongue.gif

You successfully registered? To check, you don't have to call in weekend, call during working hours on weekdays.
Once your CC registered in their phone payment, then on weekend, you can make the payment without involving the AMEX team.

Hi All,
Question For New MBB Cardholder here.
If I swipe My AMEX Rm100 on weekend, and entitled RM5 Rebate (5%),

The Rm100 is included in the statement on 28th, statement due on 18th of following months,
and the rebate should credit into account on 1th or 2th of following months.

So my question is,
Should I pay the Full payment of RM100 before 18th,
OR
Pay After 2th (Cash back credited into account), and pay the remainding Rm95?

Jz doubt ..

if the rm100 is included in your 28th statement, which means you will receive your rebate on the coming 1st. so by 18th, you just need to pay rm95.

Any changes made to payment option in Maybank2u? I can no longer made any payment to TNB or other providers by using our credit cards! Payment is only possible by using savings or current account. Is this permanent?

Try again later, probably after noon. Just temporary issue. Furthermore we've just crossed into March, maybe system refresh/restart. wink.gif

So far Amex only can pay for Telekom (this include homeline phone charges), TNB and Maxis, right?

How about other telcos/utility or astro, possible?

you guys managed to pay through paypal ? I called CS to activate to allow for today but after that I tried a few more times only the USD1 went through but not the attempted amount ? Just got this message "The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number."

Ok just found out from CS I need to confirm the amex card with Paypal first then call maybank to allow paypal transaction, arrgh so much trouble doh.gif

Hi guys, not sure if this has been asked before, sorry if it did.

The cycle of calculate amex weekend rebate is by my bill cycle or month cycle? Let's say my bill cycle is every 26th, so it is

A. 27th march to 26th april
B. 1st april to 30th april?

Thanks in advance

it based on monthly basis( in your case 1-30 april), not follow your bill cycle. Mostly the cash rebate will be credit into your account on 1st of each month or 31/30 at the end of the month. smile.gif

if you use your mbb2amex in the weekends on monthly basis, you will still receive your cash rebate later on, just that it delayed to the 1st of next month. you won't lose rm50 la...

no idea at all sweat.gif mbb doesnt seem to verify what type of transaction goes thru amex when calculating cashback. it's more to day/date-specific (i.e. weekends)

if the amount is small, can you try it out? biggrin.gif


so far, my purchase via paypal did on Sunday morning (local), and charged on the same day Sunday (local). havent really tried on Saturday, but if it's same-day-charge, then probably safe.

Nope, you need to call MBB card center to "release" your card in order for Paypal's payment/verification process to go thru.
Now to keep my card secure(AMEX are popular of fraud case), I will remove the card from Paypal once I done with online purchase.

Yes, but for my case, even the first step(charge rm10) also get blocked. Now MBB are quite strict on this. So, give MBB a call before you want to do anything with Paypal.
BTW, using treatpoints to waive GST is how much? I see their website are slightly different.

Yes(if nobody hacked your account) and no.

Security are 1 of the reason, another is i'll try not do buy often from Ebay, haha. With all the hassle, it will more or less control me.

That I don't want to find out. Last time I had a fraud case and it is not easy to settle, have to run few places(stay in Seremban and have to do police report in Puchong). So, keeping any back door locked is what I'll do now. You are not wrong is just that I want to have a peace of mind. No offence.

Best way is show them your latest EA. And you shall not apply on the same year, like you got your card last year(using 2012 EA) and to get it approved, you must show them this year's EA(2013).
Or for faster way, ask them to see can temporary increase your CL.

Just got called by Maybank, they say that my application for Maybankard 2 Platinum is approved. BUT, I need to pledge RM8,000 fixed deposit before they can process it further. They say that if my salary is credited to Maybank account (which I still don't have), they might be more lenient of the FD requirement. Quite unfortunate since that may not be possible. sweat.gif

For now it is, because I just started work like 6 months ago and I just dislike the thought of having RM8,000 "freezed" in a bank and I can't use it. Probably I'll just wait a couple of months to save enough so that I'm won't bothered by a "loss" of liquid money that much. nod.gif

How did you find out?

Via SMS informing you of the transaction?

Maybe check the last 10 card transactions you did for possible "infor leak" where they noted your particulars.

How did you find out?

Via SMS informing you of the transaction?

Maybe check the last 10 card transactions you did for possible "infor leak" where they noted your particulars.

My Amex just got compromised. They called me to come and pick up the replacement card. Is it common for Amex to have this problem ?

I see.

I hope the bank will compensate you for the illegal transaction.

Possible to find out whether it is a local or overseas company that person used for the transaction? If it is a transaction in M'sia, then the culprit is in M'sia.

Sorry for asking so many questions.

Stop here.

so, for us malaysians, MSOS is good enough. if paranoid, enable SafeKey for Amex too smile.gif

please read the T&C.

Based on the Qualifying Entries earned, two thousand (2,000) Eligible Cardmembers will be shortlisted by Maybank’s randomizer programme as winners of the Cash Back (“Winners”).

In short, you still need luck.

hmmm from the t&c stated:

QUOTE
3.2 During the Campaign Period, Eligible Cardmember will be entitled to one (1) entry for every RM300 cumulative Qualifying Spend on the following websites:

Maybank, www.maybank.com.my
Groupon Malaysia, www.groupon.my
Malindo Air, www.malindoair.com

3.3 Qualifying Spend shall include bill/ assessment fee payments on www.maybank.com.my, online purchases transacted on Groupon Malaysia (www.groupon.my) and Malindo Air (www.malindoair.com) via American Express Credit/ Charge Card(s), including EzyPay based on the full transaction amount, if applicable.

that means 1 entry for every RM300 (cumulative)? if within the campaign period i've spent RM900+, i will get 3 entries? sweat.gif

also i think as long as transaction made in M2U to pay utility bills/assessment fees, it's already qualified.

lemme call up Maybank for info biggrin.gif

*updates from Maybank:

1) All payees under Utilities and Assessment category in M2U-Bill Payment will be qualified.
2) Cumulative of RM300 will qualify for 1 entry. Multiple of RM300 will be counted as n-th entry, e.g. RM600 will get 2 entries, RM900 will get 3 entries, and so on.
3) No restriction on transaction count, e.g. you can pay your Unifi or TNB bills multiple times. As long as total qualified amount meets the RM300/entry criteria, you'll get 1 entry.

seems ok though thumbup.gif

No harm to give a call to reconfirm.
Visa and MC by default need OTP to approve payment but I came across one website that is YES 4G doesn't need OTP for payment by credit card.

Just to update you, I successfully paid my Maxis Bill today.

So how does it works?
On the Friday, you might need to call CS billing department (call 123 > press 2 > press 1 > wait them to connect you to their customer service) to let them know you want to pay your bill on Saturday using AMEX card to enjoy 5% cash back (to avoid them to ask you why not on that day itself doh.gif ) and ask them to arrange call back from AMEX team on Saturday.

Two possibilities might occur:
1. If you are lucky enough to get experienced staff, they will arrange for you immediately.
2. Else, they will tell you AMEX team is not working during weekend. In fact, AMEX team works half day on Saturday.
So if they insist, you might need to call second time like I did rclxub.gif

So today I received call from Maxis AMEX team and successfully paid my bill and enjoy 5% cashback from maybank amex thumbup.gif

The MSOS is up to the merchant to implement. If the merchant system doesn't support it, then you won't be triggered for it.

can you remind me.. if I only do transaction on weekend, what's the minimum amount to spend in order to get the max RM50 cashback?

sorry i forgot. don't bash me blush.gif
*
no minimum spending. every amex transaction counts.

the smallest swipe i did were movie ticket @ RM12 and starbucks @ RM13.25 brows.gif

to fully obtain the RM50 cashback per month, total monthly spending is RM1,000.

any additional spending after RM1K (weekends) will not contribute to the cashback (capped at RM50), but you'll still get 5X TreatsPoints regardless (everyday).

Just to update you, I successfully paid my Maxis Bill today.

So how does it works?
On the Friday, you might need to call CS billing department (call 123 > press 2 > press 1 > wait them to connect you to their customer service) to let them know you want to pay your bill on Saturday using AMEX card to enjoy 5% cash back (to avoid them to ask you why not on that day itself  doh.gif ) and ask them to arrange call back from AMEX team on Saturday.

Two possibilities might occur:
1. If you are lucky enough to get experienced staff, they will arrange for you immediately.
2. Else, they will tell you AMEX team is not working during weekend. In fact, AMEX team works half day on Saturday.
So if they insist, you might need to call second time like I did  rclxub.gif

So today I received call from Maxis AMEX team and successfully paid my bill and enjoy 5% cashback from maybank amex  thumbup.gif

Thx dude.. this is what i did in the past.., but i think that time was lucky enough to get a call on saturday and payment was successful.. i think better be honest in order to get that cashback

maybe they checked your transaction records in your other hlb cc and analyse how much you could further contribute if you have a second hlb cc. if just having half of your monthly expenses being transferred from one hlb to another hlb, that don't benefits them.

Paypal Payment to LAZADA using AMEX is not successful.

Does this feature removed d ?
or Paypal AMEX can pay only on certain website?


If Yes, I guess need to update the info to the first page to avoid confusion.

Hi, Does anyone know how is instalment work if swipe with maybank 2 card? would they charge one large amount on weekend(eg. I swipe on weekend) then I get the cashback or they would separate out in each month?

One more question, If I used it as instalment, would it affect my credit limit for my following month? For example, I swipe 5k this month and credit limit is 7k, since i pay it with instalment, the credit limit would be left 2k for next month and slowly restore back to 7k when I finished pay my installment.

Sorry for long question cause I never use it.

One time charge will do for installment, but not separate month.

After you swipe 5k, then your credit limit only left 2k, it will be restore back each month.

For the purchase with installment, you will get all your cashback at one go.

For your second question, yes, your credit limit will be affected as you describe.

that's not the main reason people having more than one cc. bcs for your case, a cc with high credit limit will do. people having more than one cc bcs each different cc had its own features/benefits.

You cannot use Amex for Paypal RM transactions. The error message is already in clear English.

how long have you been using the cc? you may apply for a higher credit limit if you have used your cc for more than 6 months and when you have salary increment.

what is your bill statement date?

the cashback is for 1 full calendar month of transactions. your 1st March swipe will be eligible for March cb calculation.

the transaction listed in your Feb bill is due to statement cut-off period.

I used my Amex to reload my Starbucks card (RM 150) on 2 March. But as of today (after 9 days), this transaction has not shown up in my Maybank2u statement.

Anyone experienced such a delay? I plan my spending to get as close as RM1k every month (usually will load the balance few ringgit in my UniFi or TNB bill), so it better show up soon so I know that I have RM150 less to spend this month on the card.

You might as well just deduct RM150 from you expenditure, rarely will the bank "forget" to charge you for your usage. Besides, Reabte is for the whole month so 2nd March transaction rebate is counter through March... there is still 20 days to go in this month... so relax biggrin.gif

yeah, Starbucks is slow posting the transaction in M2U.

I swipe on 1 Mar (Sat). The transaction only show up in M2U on Tuesday (4 Mar). Luckily, Transaction Date = 1 March. Posting Date = 2 March.

I was wondering what the heck happened to my Starbucks transaction. Called up CS, they say my Starbucks transaction was in "floating" mode, hence not showing in M2U. Most likely Starbucks didnt release the transaction fast enough.

'bout Unifi, rest assured. It goes thru immediately. No abnormal delay too.

some automated fuel dispenser cannot set a fixed amount. for those can, you just press the number to set it.
also, some can set the cents (for eg. rm20.33) while others can only set the ringgit (for eg. rm20.00).

I used my Amex to reload my Starbucks card (RM 150) on 2 March. But as of today (after 9 days), this transaction has not shown up in my Maybank2u statement.

Anyone experienced such a delay? I plan my spending to get as close as RM1k every month (usually will load the balance few ringgit in my UniFi or TNB bill), so it better show up soon so I know that I have RM150 less to spend this month on the card.

no way they will "forget", i once experienced transaction that is posted 1 month after date of transaction

i can control my spending to sub-1K per month. mbb2amex is darn good for me liao.

i cannot, however, spend so much just to qualify for 10xRM50 per transaction in a month. if no such qualifier, i'd have gotten this card longggggg time ago.

my spending behavior: petrol pump in a week is around 30-35, enough for around 300KM, and with some to spare. telco bill is <RM30 per line (postpaid). seldom dine out or doing groceries (1-2 times per month only). no utilities bill to pay (due to low usage, already subsidized fully by tnb/syabas).

most of my high-spending (every few months) is not in WISE's cashback category (computer parts, car accessories). Unifi is not qualified for cashback. splitting bills to 3xRM50 is not "wise" considering i can easily get around RM7.50 cashback with mbb2amex already. WISE give me none.

so WISE is not practical for my spending. brows.gif thumbup.gif banks doesnt make much money from me via credit card sweat.gif bottom line, i save more by spending less.

Hi everyone.. I have a tricky question here about converting credit card into cash with minimise cost by using Maybank Amex... I need the help from you all to answer whether my explanation is correct or wrong..

First, register two paypal account under your name. second, top up one of your paypal account by using Maybank Amex during weekend to enjoy 5% cash back. (ie: RM1,000)
Next, withdrawal the money that you transfer to your second paypal account to any local bank in Malaysia. (with fees 3.9% +RM2 reduction).

Overall, we still gain because the fees we paid was RM39+RM2=RM41, but the cash back we earn was RM50! and at the same time... we get the cash!

Any idea anyone?

yeah, for me, i wanted to pay my parent's utility bills too but my father prefer to get bill first before paying. We had many times tnb/syabas double-charged us becaue they didnt capture previous month's payment and automatically assume we didnt pay at all. Many times we've gone to the offices just to dispute the bills vmad.gif

In actual you saved rm9 only. A stupid way. The way to get cash from credit card without paying fees(and getting CB) is help others to buy stuffs/pay bills which I'm doing now.

If those jerks come once every 2 months, then 1 month sure under estimate and another will be taking real reading. When you are getting estimated bill, you can take the reading your self and give to TNB to get the actual bill. I'm doing this last time so I got no problem on the bill. Now I'm paying extra most of the time, just to hit the rm1000 quota.
Always check your bill's cut off date, then you won't have this problem.

But for the person who need cash, this will be the best way since borrowing money from the bank like personal loan will incurred very high interest cost. but paypal method not only cost nothing but we gain. right?

Banks have started giving lower credit limit (I think based on 2x or 3x of your monthly salary).

I travel overseas quite a bit for my previous company and use the credit card for company expenses. The banks (Citibank and HSBC in this case) automatically increased my credit limit without me asking, and the limit was like 6x my salary.

When I applied for OCBC, HLB Wise and Maybank last year, all 3 banks only gave me 3x of my monthly salary (which is lower than my Citibank and HSBC limit when I first applied with them many years ago).

So I guess credit limit increase will only happen when you spend a lot with the card (one good way is offering to use your card when go out makan with friends and have them pay you back in cash) and also a good paymaster.

Perhaps you can show them your latest salary slip as justification for the increase?

Kindly be informed AMEX credit card is not allowed as a funding source for few of the  transaction currencies  like  TRY,  BRL, MYR, PHP, THB, TWD, MXN, ILS. This is an expected behavior when transacting in these currencies. However, this depends on American Express itself.

When this happens, the system will prompt you to use a different funding source. Currently, your alternative to complete the payment are as follow:

?             Add a non AMEX card to your PayPal account, or
?             Top Up your PayPal account with MYR from RHB bank

I never call maybank line, but often call direct amex line 1800889559, very easy to reach a real person. Just one button to pick platinum or gold, then right away you'll be able to speak to somebody. Although Amex Malaysia is actually handled by Maybank, I kinda wonder why the usual Maybank line is different.

I primarily just use Maybank Amex card anyway, so I never have to actually called usual Maybank line.

it is better to wait for your physical cc to arrive first before activating it and start using it. if you activate it and use it without first receiving the cc, it's ok actually (provided nothing happens to your cc). but if something happens to your cc (meaning that the cc doesn't arrive to you - lost in the mail or etc.), it will become a big problem to you.

Sometimes if your income increase too much all of a sudden, I think the banker will be in doubt... thus deny you the credit cards.
Maybe once you file your income tax with this revised new income for this year, they consider to revised your CL hmm.gif

just for sharing...
if you have activated your cc but it does not arrive to you later on:
1) it's considered as you lost your cc = need to pay for a replacement
2) if someone used your cc for any transaction (especially the ones that doesn't need signature like automated fuel dispenser), you cannot give reason that you have not receive your cc because you have activated it. so you have to admit that you lost it = you need to pay for replacement + all the transaction amount involved (maybe waivable but surely need to wait for the investigation results by the bank, etc).

maybe you should reconfirm with them again, whether you could use your IC to collect the card...
i remember to collect my card without having the letter..
but for my case, it a replacement card..

so i not sure it will work for new application though...

Kindly be informed AMEX credit card is not allowed as a funding source for few of the  transaction currencies  like  TRY,  BRL, MYR, PHP, THB, TWD, MXN, ILS. This is an expected behavior when transacting in these currencies. However, this depends on American Express itself.

When this happens, the system will prompt you to use a different funding source. Currently, your alternative to complete the payment are as follow:

?             Add a non AMEX card to your PayPal account, or
?             Top Up your PayPal account with MYR from RHB bank

So Confirm Paypal not applicable in MYR if using AMEX?

via Maybank2u? Their system not allow you to pay more than your outstanding amount, mean you can't pay in advance via M2U, but OK with CDM or cheque deposit. Anyway that's for normal activated account, uncertain for CC which have not activated yet.

Regarding the Hourly Prize, it is stated that "1x Qualifying Entry for every RM100 spend in single retail
transaction".

So let's say I spend RM500 in a transaction, do I get 1 entry or 5 entries? I'm confused :S

just for sharing...
if you have activated your cc but it does not arrive to you later on:
1) it's considered as you lost your cc = need to pay for a replacement
2) if someone used your cc for any transaction (especially the ones that doesn't need signature like automated fuel dispenser), you cannot give reason that you have not receive your cc because you have activated it. so you have to admit that you lost it = you need to pay for replacement + all the transaction amount involved (maybe waivable but surely need to wait for the investigation results by the bank, etc).

wow. I didn't get to realize that. thank you. anyway I've collected my card.

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Mar 13 2014, 01:10 PM)
maybe you should reconfirm with them again, whether you could use your IC to collect the card...

you fuel up using automated fuel dispenser right? usually it will block rm200 from your cc. if you don't prefer this, you may go to the cashier to swipe your cc.

another thing to share is, let's say if you have used up your credit limit, left only rm190 credit limit in your cc, you won't be able to pump using automated fuel dispense anymore since it will block rm200 but your credit limit is not enough. so you may go to the cashier and swipe it for any amount up to rm190.

yeah, I've used the automated fuel dispenser. Is it only applicable to only Petron or all other petrol stations as well? I wonder how long that the system will credit back the remaining unused balance from the RM200?

it doesnt actually charged to your card.

it just pre-allocate a certain amount from your card (cuz using card, it's use-first-pay-later). once transaction is completed, the RM200 will be released/canceled immediately and actual transacted amount will be charged instead.

yesterday i tried to preset a certain value prior authorizing card. sweat.gif i still gotten SMS notification of RM200, but actually charge is only the preset amount.

no worries, most of us aware of this. If this is some kind of scam/system loophole, banks & petrol operators already gotten more complaints liao thumbup.gif

as far as i know, you cant pay a loan with another type of loan. the "nearest" method is credit card balance transfer, but that's between credit cards only.

education loan, no idea if it's even possible. probably check the loan issuer if you can pay off edu loan by credit cards. it doesnt make sense doing this cuz at most you can delay the inevitable (i.e. repaying credit card) for a 1 bill cycle + 20 days of payment grace period.

even if you pay a minimum amount, you're effectively owing more than the amount you began with.

there's nothing special with the amex rebate. the qualifier is lower and simpler than other credit cards smile.gif

using amex is more of "where's waldo" kinda scenario. Forumers here keeps hunting, testing, harassing (?) merchants whether they accept amex thumbup.gif

As far as I know, the only way to pay service tax is via treatpoint redemption. Hence usually the first year service tax is inevitable unless you previously have another maybank card which you can use the treatpoint to redeem for service tax.

Should not be a concern. They will refund the USD1 in your paypal about a week + later. The charge is for verification purpose only. smile.gif

I have a question on the following:

1. Preferred card to do online purchases?
2. Can I activate the MSOS safe key prior to online purchases via visiting the klcc branch?
3. How do I set up sms notifications each time my card is used?

1. For sure Amex, 5x points with 5% cashback on weekend
2. MSOS is activate only once and can be use forever.. just call CS to activate..
3. call CS and tell them you want to set sms notification to RM1.. only one call needed to get all the sms notification..

it doesnt actually charged to your card.

it just pre-allocate a certain amount from your card (cuz using card, it's use-first-pay-later). once transaction is completed, the RM200 will be released/canceled  immediately and actual transacted amount will be charged instead.

yesterday i tried to preset a certain value prior authorizing card. sweat.gif i still gotten SMS notification of RM200, but actually charge is only the preset amount.

no worries, most of us aware of this. If this is some kind of scam/system loophole, banks & petrol operators already gotten more complaints liao  thumbup.gif

wow. I didn't even get to know this before. Guess there's much for me to learn here. Is it possible for me to reload my TnG card with AMEX? Is it better to do so? Because currently, I reloaded TnG via cash consistently for every month and my monthly spending for the card is lesser than .5k. Hmm

yes, you can reload TnG with AMEX. problem is to know where.

so far, only one Petronas station accepts Amex to reload TnG. Google Map: https://maps.google.com/?ll=3.050373,101.62...002642&t=h&z=19

I whacked RM400 into TnG earlier this month (will be expecting RM20 cashback for using Amex during weekend). Do note Petronas has 1% cash surcharge if you use any credit card to reload TnG. So, if you reload RM400, surcharge is RM4 only. you'll get back RM16 in effective cashback biggrin.gif

thanks for the uber fast reply. guess it's not worth for me to travel that far just to reload TnG unless I'm somewhere nearby during weekends.

Besides that, does anyone know how does EPP works with our MBB AMEX card? Especially with Harvey Norman? Recently, I've purchased with 12 months installments, with 0% interest rate. I was wondering is there any extra charges from the bank or is the bank freezing the total amount that I've purchased until I've completed the whole payment for the installments? rclxub.gif

no exp EPP with Harvey Norman, but EPP with Amex in SenQ.

Eg: EPP RM1,200 for 1 year, so RM100 per month, your CL will block by this amount and will restore back CL by monthly payment until the end.

If there have come with 0% interest, mean no extra charge from the bank, and you can see your receipt when you sign, there will indicated of monthly amount that you need to pay.

As I know, some shop they will slightly increase the price of item that you going to EPP, not sure about this.

correct me if I'm wrong, means to say MB will block the whole amount which in your case RM1.2k, will restore RM100 of CL gradually each month if the payment had been made right?

The other concern now is the treat points & as well as the cash back, basically, I've signed it on last week Saturday. What would be the treat points & cash back, let's say the amount is RM1.2k? Would it be counted from the whole amount or the amount payable each month?

Yes you are correct, CL will be restore each month and block for whole amount from your CL.

About TP, there will be one lum sum as calculation. Mean you will be received rebate RM50 plus your point for your next statement.

Different credit card different process, as I know uob is doing each month return for cask back.

you get Rm50 rebate on the upcoming statement for this and 100% of the TP will be in your account immediately.

in my case the charge come in on the very last day of statement every month.

yes, you are right about the TP. I've just checked my M2U, it reflected the 5x of the amount purchased. But it's weird because the fuel transaction 1 day after the purchase from Harvey Norman, is already reflected on M2U, but not my EPP purchase from Harvey Norman. Hmm...

I spend on online purchases and buy items from sellers internationally. I read that the Amex isn't such a good card to use because
1. High conversion rate.
2. Paypal payments may take 1 day to 1 month to process.

Is this right?

Hi Guys,

Wanna ask some questions here. If I were to buy gadget / electrical appliances using Maybank Visa / Mastercard 0% Installment EzyPay, how does it works? Let say the purchase price is RM2400, so for 6 months, I need to pay RM400 per month right?

Is it true that some shops do charge you some % of interest for the first payment / total price?

And If we pay the monthly RM400, do we get the TreatPoints too?

Thanks in advance for the replies =)

if the item that you are buying has a 0% instalment offer, you just pay rm400/month for 6 months..

if it is not, the shop would charge you 3% upfront..RM2400+3%/6 months

not sure on the points though

I spend on online purchases and buy items from sellers internationally. I read that the Amex isn't such a good card to use because
1. High conversion rate.
2. Paypal payments may take 1 day to 1 month to process.

Is this right?

Could anyone provide input on the above question?

I often use paypal to buy things online with both amex and mastercard. I didn't do the transactions at the same time. But I think it's more or less similar rates. And even if amex rate were to be slightly higher than visa/mastercard, 5X treatspoints for my MBB2 amex card (equivalent to about 2% cash-back) would still make amex as competitive as its rivals.

my paypal transactions were instant, no delay at all. I don't know where that guy got his info from. hmm.gif

never try that before. hmm.gif

but i don't really mind to just redeem the gst with my tp. just spent rm2.5k (a year) and use the 12,500 tp to exchange for the rm50 gst. i think one can easily spend a few times higher than rm2.5k a year. so not a big issue.

She didn't said she had it waived. For MBB, your odds of getting GST waived is next to zero.

Strange. Isn't the gst redemption suppose to be credited back to the relevant card to be offset?

For me, amex card was charged and "paid" immediately. Actual gst charged to visa. Called to redeem tp, it was credited back to visa as well. This effectively offset/zerorize the gst.

of course you can still maintain your mbb cc. but why do want to? is your moving there only for temporary? otherwise why do you want to go through the hassle of incurring forex and overseas fee?

it's too long ago, i think i remember wrongly. if i try to remember again, perhaps they credited to my mastercard account first. then need to call to transfer the rm50 over to my amex account.

i can't remember correctly bcs it only happened once when i first got the cc and i paid the gst with cash first since it's charged after i got my cc. then after i accumulated enough tp only i redeemed. but i didn't use mastercard that time. so just transferred to amex.

from then on, once it's charged i will redeem immediately bcs i have enough tp already. so no transferring done anymore.

Just share my experience about request replacing Master with Visa for Maybank 2 card. I went to KLCC to make above request and the process be told as below:
1) they will send the new card request to process (2 hrs done if request made during weekdays working hours)
2) after the new card (Visa) is received, you need to ask staff to help you cancel the existing card (Master) and transfer all TP and outstanding (if any) to the new cards from existing card upon you collect in KLCC
3) you will receive RM50 charge shown in the following month statement
4) you can come to KLCC and opt to request waive the above charge but subject to management discretion

Maybankard 2 Cards FAQ:

1. The rebate is calculated according to the CALENDER month.
2. The rebate is usually credited to the AMEX card on the 1st or 2nd of the month.
3. For Principal Cards, the RM50 GST for AMEX is waived, but RM50 GST for Visa/MC remains.
4. For Supplementary cards, RM25 GST is imposed onto each Amex, Visa or MasterCard, so the total is RM50
5. The GST will be billed a month or two after you received the card.
6. You do not need to activate the cards by calling in. Cards can be used immediately.
7. You do not need to post back the acknowledgment copy when you receive the card by post/courier. 
8. The weekend rebate capped of RM50/month for the Maybankard 2 Amex is shared between the Principal and Supp cards.
9. If your M2U shows that you have a Maybankard 2 Cards Account, congratulations, it means you 'll be getting the cards soon. Call Customer Service if you do not want the cards or call them anyway to confirm.
10. You don't need to have a Savings Accounts or other Banking Accounts to have a M2U account for your MBB 2 Cards. You need to go to the branch to sign up for M2U to view your transactions online..
11. If you cannot swipe the card at the merchant, call Customer Service, number behind the card.
12. Fastest way to get the Maybankard 2 Cards is go and apply at MBB Card Centre at 1U or KLCC where they are supposed to process your application within an hour. Saturdays also can.
I went to apply M2 cards at Maybank Card Centre One Utama yesterday (Saturday) and the officer there told that the card that apply from Mon to Fri only can be collected within an hour after approving; for Sat and Sun it will have to wait until Monday only can process. You may need to update the info at #2 no. 12

Any benefit using visa as opposed to mc?
Cause we can't choose when apply and they straight away give mc which I think is the default card

it is RM50 per person. many people will exploit this if it is possible. banks are not that stupid also...the only way if you want to have more than the RM50 cash back is to get your partner/family to apply and share the swipes.

just checked all my cc statements. GST charged on 15 Feb, annually. Card's anniversary month is Feb too. Bill cycle is 21st. already forgotten when was my approval date sweat.gif i was using visa before upgraded to mbb2card.

interestingly, i couldnt find any GST charged for year 2013. checked statements from jan - dec 2013, couldnt find any GST charged. i wonder why it was not listed. prior to 2013, i can see GST charged without fail.

so if our card expiry is 07/18, does it mean the gst will be charged in july?

most likely cuz GST is charged on annual basis.

mine probably coincidence that GST charge month = anniversary month. May need others' feedback to correlate smile.gif

it's too long ago, i think i remember wrongly. if i try to remember again, perhaps they credited to my mastercard account first. then need to call to transfer the rm50 over to my amex account.

i can't remember correctly bcs it only happened once when i first got the cc and i paid the gst with cash first since it's charged after i got my cc. then after i accumulated enough tp only i redeemed. but i didn't use mastercard that time. so just transferred to amex.

from then on, once it's charged i will redeem immediately bcs i have enough tp already. so no transferring done anymore.

CS can't transfer the charges to another card as it is seperate, i've tried to ask them to transfer the gst from my visa to amex previously and they mentioned it's not allowed

Any benefit using visa as opposed to mc?
Cause we can't choose when apply and they straight away give mc which I think is the default card

no difference in terms of benefits provided by mbb. the difference is on certain promotion done exclusively by visa or mastercard respectively.

So far I can assure that Maybankard 2 Amex is THE BEST CC for frequent Enrich flyers like me, who spend less than RM80k a year..

I spend rm40k a year = 40k*5 = 200k TP = 28,571 Enrich miles -> that's rm1.4 for 1 enrich miles
and some more , will receive rm600 cash rebate a year...

No other CC can beat that...

for me, i don't really use the mastercard. so for the first time when i just got the card long ago, my tp was not enough to redeem yet. so i paid with cash. so later on when i have sufficient tp only i redeemed. but i don't need the rm50 in mastercard since i don't use it. so requested to transfer.

The treatpoints are combined, you can use them to offset the GST on your visa/mastercard even though it is accumulated by AMEX.

yes, but the gst was charged once my cards were approved. so not enough time to accumulate sufficient tp on both cards that time. so I redeemed later on...

anyway it only happened on the first year getting the cards though.
