Is the preceding statement true, if I use the AMEX card on any category of spending (petrol, grocery, departmental store, pharmacy, dining and so on), in any merchant?

As long as any merchant has a AMEX card terminal, I am entitled to the benefits of cashback and 5x TreatsPoints when I swipe the card, right?

Thanks for the confirmation.

What would be the difference between Maybankard 2 Gold Card, and Maybankard 2 Platinum Card, other than the minimum annual income requirement?

Which card is more preferable, assuming that I can fulfil the minimum annual income requirement for Platinum Card?

Thank you for the advice.

Is this RM100 Cashback separate, on top of the default RM 50 cashback?


What do they mean by 100% cashback? If I charge RM 100 to Maybank 2 cards, Maybank will give me RM 100 as cashback, right?

Is there a minimum amount to be spent? There is no trick, or hidden charges for these 2 promotions, right?

Does the end of the qualifying period mean 2 months after the card is activated? Or, the end of the qualifying period is actually 22 March 2015?

It is possible to get the application approved, and collect the cards within one hour, at Menara Maybank. If your salary is credited into a saving account not in Maybank, you should print out the transaction of your saving account, showing your salary has been credited into this account for the past 3 months.

The RM 10 Starbucks Gift card is given as well.

Ok, I understand that I need to key in credit card numbers in Maxis Online Portal, and I believe that this feature is Direct Debit.

1. How can I fix the date of the bill payment (charge to AMEX card), on the first Saturday after the bill is issued by Maxis?

2. Is it possible that the Maxis will automatically charge the payment to my card (on the first Saturday after the bill is issued), without me calling them?

3. If I use phone automated system to pay the bill, what is the minimum amount of information I give to customer support, such as credit card number and so on? I do not want to provide more information than necessary.

Thank you for your advice.

Ok, I realize that Maxis Pay-by-Phone may not work anymore, but there is no harm trying, right?

I have inserted the credit card number, in Manage Account --> Edit Account Info --> Change Credit Card No. > Pay method : Pay By Phone > Card Type: Amex.

It also states:

So, do I have to fax the image of the front side of my credit card to this number? Can I do it via e-mail?

Thanks for sharing the info.

You provide only 15-digit credit card number for renewal through phone, without the 4-digit Card Identification Number (CID) and 3-digit Card Verification Value (CVV), right?

Even with just 2x TreatPoints for insurance, we can get 5% cashback, if we pay for insurance during weekend, correct?

Thanks, everyone for sharing the great tips in using the card.

It is too bad that The 2015 Formula One Campaign (“Campaign”) is open to all eligible PETRONAS Maybank Visa Gold, PETRONAS Maybank Visa Platinum, PETRONAS Ikhwan Visa Gold and PETRONAS Ikhwan Visa Platinum (Maybank PETRONAS Visa), but not Maybank 2 Cards.

I normally receive my credit card statement via mail.

1. If I subscribe to online statement (PDF file) which is sent to my e-mail, can I have both online statement and hard copy statement (via mail) at the same time?

2. After subscribing to online statement, can I revert back to hard copy statement (via mail)?

Thanks for the info.

I thought that it be possible to pay by phone and change the IEM renewal fee to AMEX, and this pay-by-phone method is not publicly stated in IEM website. Look like I have to settle for measly 1x treatpoint on MasterCard.

For Indah Water bill, I have to use Maybank saving account to pay the bill, and cannot charge it to AMEX online, right? I am not staying near any Indah Water branch.
