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:

0. This is a 2 cards combo - AMEX together with master/visa, you CANNOT cancel the master/visa and leave the AMEX alone.
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 (for cards approved before 9 July 2014), but RM50 GST for Visa/MC remains. So cards approved before 9 July 2014, RM50 GST. Cards approved after 9 July 2014, RM100 GST.
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. Some branches are known to be unable to link both cards into a single M2U account.
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 stations that does not accept AMEX.

Rule of thumb:
PAYPAL + Amex + RM = no go
PAYPAL + Amex + foreign currency = good to go
PAYPAL + Visa/Master + RM/foreign currency = good to go

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

Anyway you can use AMEX for Steam purchases or online subscriptions like World of Warcraft

5x rewards points + 5% cashback is awesome

I am using the AMEX as my online card , as I have maybank petronas visa for petrol and i am waiting for my regular master card (they sent me visa) for regular use

But nowdays use less of Amex already unless quota met using other cards

Reporting In

regular use also use AMEX!! (if accepted )
and petronas visa? maybe only after you over quota at weekend, else, use AMEX as petrol card too

check in

awesome v10!

just redeemed all my points for Rm350 Anthler luggage bag at Maybank Treats fair Mid Valley.... Not really that bad...at least there is something that i want at treats fair.

was checking out CBTL and Diamond (Aristto) coffee machines, CBTL offers 20% off and free 6 months installment but at the end did not buy either.

How much FD one have to place in order to get a Platinum MB2C Amex/MC? RM20,000?

Which branch should I contact or call up to get this done, without revealing my BE Forms or salary slips.

i remember one forummer here pledge 20k, i feel you can try lower perhaps 15k. (At the end of the day, amount you pledge = your CC credit limit)

I think you can try per below

1. Place X amount as fixed deposit with Maybank for 1 year
2. Bring your FD Cert to their card center and tell them your intent.

I got my platinum cards by pledging 10K in FD and got the cards within 2 weeks.
try maybank KLCC branch.

shud i do this too? feel troublesome wan show ssm to upgrade from gold to platinum

Hi guys, currently my statement date is on 8th day of every month, and payment due date is on 28th.

Can I request Maybank to change my payment due date at beginning of each month? Because my salary is on at 30th.

IMO, not that practical to lock down your fund into FD in order to get equivalent credit limit.

any particular reasons to upgrade to Platinum besides the higher credit limit?

you cant change the due date. you can only change the bill date.

so far, the bill dates are as follows: 3rd, 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 18th, 21st, 26th, 28th, end of the month.

best would be bill date = 12th, so that the due date = either 1st or 2nd of following month (except on March whereby Feb has lesser days).

i believe the transaction cost for foreign currency is quite high for mbb2 amex, around 2.5%. This might offset any cashback you receive especially if is the amount is quite high. though i might be wrong.

You ask Maybank CS to change your Statement Date in orde for the Due Date to be moved
