Just noticed in my M2U there is a visa signature card appearing but account not authorised yet. Looks like my application is successful through the same number provided for ikhwan card.

Just in time for my trip to dublin next week. Can I call in to the signature center to request for supp cards to be delivered together with my main card? Troublesome for me to make a trip to the gardens maybank card center

Mind sharing how u hit the 50K so soon? Use ur card for business purposes?

Thanks for the tips. I foresee myself not being able to achieve the 50K mark by a year since I go after TPs on my M2C amex as well. Insurance I pay using watami for the 3% rebate. Looks like I gotta switch over now as u suggested. RM150 vs Rm550 is still a lot.

Haha but u can't be doing that on a yearly basis right?

Apparently the visa signature card cannot be issued on the same day at card centres. Purposely drow all the way to gardens midvalley as I wanted to get a supp card for my wife so that she can enter the PPL lounge tonight before out flight. In fact I double confirmed twice with maybank visa signature helpline before I drove all the way from seremban.

Was shocked when I was asked by the agent which branch I want the supp card to be delivered to? Apparently the visa signature is a relatively new product so it cant embossed in the card centers, has to br outsourced apparently. All the way for nothing.

Depends on which airline u buy from.

I bought etihad early this year, if I remember correctly was charged in RM as I booked from their my website. Maybe if u choose to pay in AED or other currency, it might be considered as foreign transaction

I used my M2amex so I did got 5x points haha

Just wondering, if I spend >50k for the 1st year which annual fee is free, would that qualify for the 2nd yr annual fee waiver automatically? Or I have to spend another 50k again during the 2nd yr?

thanks for the tips

Not possible for the signature card. U have to wait for at least 5-7 working days. The CS at gardens mentioned something about the visa signature being a different type of material hence unable to issue within a short timeframe.

Will cancel this card once expiry date is near but I think I've spent enough to qualify for the waiver. Probably will keep it for another year but only for petrol & groceries.

Had to rechannel all my spendings to this card to get the annual fee waiver.

Time to say goodbye if I don't meet the 50K usage by July, well in fact won't be using it for anything else other than petrol/groceries from mid april onwards.
