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 activate 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. If you receive the cards through postage, you can activate it online through M2U (though some reported activation is not required). If you get your cards from the bank/credit card center counter, you do not need to activate it.
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.
16. If you link your pay pal account to MBB 2 AMEX, it will take 2-3 days before it is shown in M2U.
17. 12,500 Treats Points (inflated since 1st Aug 13) to offset RM50 annual GST. Call Maybank Customer Service (Tel No. behind your card) or redeem online at https://www.maybankard.net.my/.
18. This is what is mentioned behind our Maybankard Statement - Foreign Charges converted by AMEX apply a coversion factor of 2.5% to the converted amount plus 0.5% administration cost imposed by Maybank.
19. The Maybankard 2 AMEX earns you 1x TP for every RM charged to your card by default. The rest of the TP is recorded as 4x bonus TP (written as MAYBANKARD 2 AMEX 4X BONUS in your statement), making it a total of 5x TP for all charges made to your MBB2 AMEX.
20. To earn the 5% cash back, TRANSACTION DATE shown in M2U or statement must be on weekend (Sat/Sun), posting date does not matter.
21. The 5% Cash Back payout MONTH is subjected to POSTING DATE not transaction date. You will always get the cash back on the 1st day of the following month straight after the POSTING DATE. Here's a detail example by ronnie
22. You can choose your preferred statement date, just call customer service to request.
23. For EzyPay via Amex aka installments during weekend, cash rebate and treat points will be given for the FULL AMOUNT one shot and not by the monthly installments amount.
24. Amex Toll Free customer service number is 1800889559.

from previous thread, Via GDEX mail which was drop in the mailbox without anyone acknowledge/sign for it.

wow, few days not in and TP going to be inflated
and why the short notice too, less than a month is not the way to do it

yes, after reading the last few pages

open the m2u-i, less than 2k oso got interest albeit lesser

no need convert, just open and tag to existing atm/debit card
leave RM1 at the old account, transfer 1 cent each year between the 2 accounts to avoid inactive

can schedule it to pay tmr or any date within a month, it will be done around 5-6pm on the scheduled date

This post has been edited by alexwsk: Feb 13 2015, 06:14 PM

yes, my maybank cherry debit card has 4 accounts in it currently (used to have 5, but cancelled one account dy)
i normally keep 2 savings accounts for each of my online banking - so I can transfer out/in every yr to avoid inactive (now since ibg is 10 cents, not a big deal anymore)

read post 1 and 2
u want to activate only visa???
it has no benefit whatsoever compared to amex

why is the thread growing like noboby's business

it doesn't really matter, before expiry MBB will send new cards to you, all autodebits remain intact

went to mydin usj just now and their TP redemption system is down
try again on sat, else have to redeem online

This post has been edited by alexwsk: Feb 26 2015, 12:52 PM

yes, shud use SMS
else considering if using monthly statement, hence need at least 2 mths for everyone to get their statement and have enough to redeem
anything less than 2 mths is defintely a no no

side note, since it has been extended, can we talk less about this topic

complain to BNM, merchant charging fees for credit card usage

original TP for senq RM50 = 20,000 points ???
if it's 12,500 then it explains the 6,250 posted

if more and more ppl do this frequently, either the banks will cancel the cash back benefit or the hypermarket will review their refund policy

shopping voucher - not all items you buy are GST taxable, so cannot tax upfront
prepaid - calls, data, sms, mms are taxable, so can tax you upfront

you go and try it and let us know
can go to different branches

i've redeemed 2 RM50 senheng gift cards yest
1 for 6250pts
and 1 for 12500 pts

will try to redeem at another senheng to see whether maybank system is up to date

these are online redemptions, hence higher pts (+-2000pts extra) required
