Thanks for the heads-up! I will call them before I go. My TP hasn't been shifted from my old card to new card. Maybank told me to wait for 5 days.

Lucky for you, it was supposed to be implemented on 1st March but Maybank postponed it to 1st May.

Yes, you better start using or redeeming your TP now.

Yeah, only two weeks time, GST will start kicking our ass. Not sure what will happen then. Whatever planned purchases and TP redemption must do before 1st April.

Dear Maybank, please quickly transfer all points to the new cards. I will call too follow up again, gonna have constant follow-ups, they may hate me but I don't want to pay extra 6% for nothing.

All of us are affected by GST, aren't we?
Once in a while, I will need to go to Dragon Nation. It's like my yearly thing I will go there two to three times.
Now preparing for Europe business trip.

Er... Not so many la. I'm not sure where yet, probably Germany or Hungary.

This time is for training. Last time was for short term assignment.

Yes, postponed to May already.

I redeemed my Aeon vouchers from The Gardens' Maybank card centre, got the vouchers on the spot.
That was a month ago, now not sure if there are still stocks available. Suggest you to call the card centres before you go.

What did you mean? I plan to redeem only one 6250 TP for RM 50 and the balance using normal conversion (e.g. 12500 TP for RM 50 or other amount as mentioned by the forummers here).

No la. As mentioned before in the footnote, only one 6250 TP for RM 50 redemption is allowed.
I don't mind, so long it also allows me to redeem the rest with standard conversion rate.

That's right but only one 6250TP = RM 50 is allowed. The rest will be 250TP = RM 1.

He is right.
Assuming you are buying an item of RM 5555. You have 60k TP.
1) First 6250TP to be used to redeemed RM 50.
2) Balance (60000-6250 = 53750)
3) 53750TP can be used to redeem RM 215 (250TP = RM 1)
4) RM 5555-265=RM 5290 (to be paid via cash)

What herc was trying to tell me earlier was I can redeem all the points rather than with just 12500TP = RM 50. I can even redeem for the RM 15.

Hope the above clarifies.

I tried so far on the spot redemption, choose an item and redeem instantly at Harvey Norman Midvalley.

Well, groceries and stuff sold in HN are different.
Nevertheless, my friend just started to use the card in Nov or Dec, managed to redeem two Aeon Big gift card since she needs to buy groceries and always from Midvalley.

Well, I only buy those stuff with standard RRP like Apple products.

Yes, a good point. You can use credit card to pay, so AmEx is the one.

Do not troll here.

Enough with that la. This is not a section for you to post such thing.
I posted "Apple" and not apple.

Case closed before I take it as you were trolling.

My friend got her card in Oct and just received the rebate in Feb statement.

The difference is stated on the first post but I'm being nice today...

Additional Benefits with Platinum Card.
6. Travel Insurance Coverage - Charge your travel fares to the card to enjoy complimentary Accidental Death and Disablement coverage of up to RM1,000,000, as well as Travel Inconvenience coverage for missed connections, luggage delay and luggage loss. Subject to terms & conditions of the Certificate of Insurance.
7. Retail Protection - Purchase protection of up to RM20,000 per item and up to RM150,000 per card account per calendar year. Return Guarantee exchange or refund of up to 90days (Maximum RM1,500 per item on purchase price, up to a maximum of RM6,000 per card account per calendar year). Extended Warranty of up to Rm15,000 per item (Up to RM48,000 per card account per calendar year.). Subject to terms & conditions of the Certificate of Insurance.

Anyway, I just upgraded my card from Gold to Plat last week, I do think the special hotline for Plat and Premier cards is better. Not many selections to be made like the general line.

Yeah, I feel it is better. So, try to get the Plat though the additional benefits don't really concern me.

Oh yeah, I meant Signature but typed too fast.

I supposed it is LHDN website, recently launched only.

Again the information is shared on the first page that the GST has revised from RM 50 to RM 100 for new applications after July 2014.

As for the abolishment of GST after 1st April, I hope it's true. But it should be true.
