Bro alexwsk, since you now TS, maybe should revise Item 1 in Latest Development - The MBB 2 AMEX is now accepted at Petronas Pump Stations - omit yours truly..... but you want to give me credit, you may mention - Gen-X was the first to report it here at LYN, hahahaha.

To ALL:

If you have read my article titled The Best Credit Card in Malaysia 2014, you will know that I awarded the top spots to Maybankard2 Cards American Express, Maybank Visa Infinite and Alliance Bank Visa Infinite.

Well, the Maybankard 2 American Express and Maybank Visa Infinite just got better, and I guess now I can also award them The Best Credit Cards for Free Movie Tickets 2014!

You see, Maybank credit card users are entitled until 30 January 2015 to a FREE Movie Ticket every Thursday at TGV cinemas nationwide

For Outlet Listings and Terms and Conditions, you can either click on the spoiler below where I attached an image or click here to my My Credit Cards Wordpress Blog or visit M2U website.

And for those of you who are new to credit cards, click on the links below to learn more about the best credit card for local and overseas spending (that is if you do spend substantial sum):

As Gen-X also collects Enrich miles I'm sure he'll be getting this one.

RM1 local spend = 1.11 Enrich mile can't be beat  smile.gif

No... Just that I need to travel on those dates and compared with AA, cheaper after 5% rebate and even without that I'll still go for MAS. Less than 50 bucks difference. sweat.gif

Tonight's midnight will have, compete with AA free seats deal. biggrin.gif

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.

I just read the T&C of the contest and highlighted in my Facebook Page that the contest is only open to PRINCIPAL card members. Take note.

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.

I wish to increase more CL from MBB, although it is only max for RM50 cash back, but I would say good for big amount to be spend on Amex if there is because sometime i have miss the chance also  sad.gif

Bro, it is like impossible for me to increase CL since MBB wants payslips. But thanks to zenquix, he taught me to apply for Temporary increase in CL which does not need any documentation. So whenever I need more CL, I just call CS. However I need to justify why I need the increase in CL and for how long.

I posted below in Foreign Exchange Thread earlier and I thought the info may be good info for those having MBB 2 AMEX too


I just published my article I Earned 15000 FREE Enrich Miles for Purchasing American Airlines Tickets Which Also Earn Enrich Miles where I bought American Airlines tickets using my Maybank 2 Cards Premier AMEX Reserve.

Transaction Date: 30 April 2014
Posting Date: 5 May 2014 (Monday)
USD4,320.64
RM14,342.60
USD/MYR Conversion Rate = 3.3195545
USD/MYR Spot Rate on 2nd May 2014 (based on Friday's Closing Rate) = 3.2661 (BNM website states 3.2690).

Therefore, from the above, my Maybank AMEX Reserve overseas conversion rate is less than 2%, which is kind of low copared to my other Visa Infinite cards.

Bro, I got no idea on MBB 2 Visa Plat (kept in the drawer ever since I got it years ago) but I can confirm from my previous transactions posted in my article More A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit Of That Vol.1, Chapter III, my Maybankard 2 Cards AMEX Platinum AUD/MYR conversion rate was lower than my Maybank Visa Infinite.
