I don't sense a question being asked... but i get why you are confused...

Even though the RM50 it's waived, you will still see a double transaction.

Cause... it's like they HAVE TO charge you... but they are paying it for you. so one debit, one credit, set-off

What i noticed with other banks are the same as well, they charge and they waive...

The odd part in my short and little experience is, maybank charged me AFTER (in my 3rd statement, 2 months later) my card has been approved for awhile whereas other bank just charged when it was approved.

And Thanks (to the other guy) who gave the email confirmation on the GST issue of existing cardholders.

i hope it remains the way it is, perpetually.

With the RM100 GST change, is it still worth for new sign ups?

good summary that's what i observed too.

for Maybank, even upgrade from Gold -> Platinum, the service tax doesnt get charged upon upgrade approval. Mine got charged 2 months later.

for HLB, i recently gotten Wise card. GST immediately charged into my card's account on approval date, and i only gotten the physical card 1 week after approval and 1 week thereafter i gotten the PIN to use HLB Connect to check the transactions.

It is same as CIMB & Public Bank. They charged me even before I am acknowledged of the approval.

For me, every month max up to RM50 rebate, 1 year already gotten RM600. Some more the points accumulated from AMEX card itself already >25k points per annum. I always can use the points to offset the GST. Extra points will exchange with shopping vouchers

All those big outlets should be under groceries. .
if u card only consider kedai runcit Ah Leong or Pak Mat grocery store ..better burn ur card

RM5k a year really not much, less than RM500/month.

It all depends on the merchant code

Tested on the following

- AEON
- Giant
- Village's Grocer
- B.I.G (Ben Independent Grocer)
- TMC

As long the merchan code matches , then you'll get 8x points. Forgot what's the merchant code for it

want to ask,my maybank2card gold visa
Cardholder name: SEVEN xxx
when im using online purchase, card name also need to put seven xxx?
or put my IC full name?

seven xxx

Means if I upgrade from gold to plat now, will I be charged rm100? Or its carried forward from my previous gold card?

call and tell us

it is hard to tell because it is not an upgrade, more like nee application.

Hello, when they say annual income of RM60,000, does it mean that I have to work for one year only I am qualified for this? Because I have worked for 6 months only with monthly salary more than RM5k but they issued me the gold card.

last time i rejected the gold card and don't want to collect card. A banker from my home branch called me few weeks later and offered me platinum

no, if your monthly salary is above 5k and have worked for more than 6 months, it's considered as above 60k pa.

is there anything we can pay from maybank2u bill payment system using Amex? everything i choose give savings account or visa platinum only

I always paid using AMEX for UniFi & Streamyx.

-pWs-

I work at kelantan. nobody accepts amex nearby here... its very hard to capitalize on weekends cb unless i happens to go KL...

Nearest for u i think only Kuantan East Coast Mall. Some of the shop there accept Amex.

surely tesco does. and some eatery in kb mall - sushi king, secret recipe?
