There's no one size that can fit all. It really depends on your usage patterns. Looking back at my own usage of the MBB2Amex card, I spent more on paying for online stuff than for fuel. So I'll most probably replace this card with UOB Vox/CIMB Cash Rebate.

or if you are qualified, PB VS as well.

Hmmm I used my cards mainly for bills followed by groceries than petrol. Easily RM 2k/month.

I think HLB wise even with rm160 AF, I can save more but no reward points which previously for Amex is best but now just not really good anymore.
*
yes. I agree. wise is your best alternative provided you are confident you can fulfill their monthly cash back requirement.

i suppose you are referring to swipes for Jun 2015 right?

For July 2015 swipes all the weekend dates in July still entitle for 5% CB, or its there a cut off date in July?

whole of July

Hi EVERYONE...

I have to retraced back my statement. A minute ago, Maybank representative called me and CONFIRMED that 5% rebate on AMEX will only be applicable for DINING expenses only STARTING 1ST AUGUST 2015.

Conclusion: Will cancel the card since it does not offer petrol rebates anymore.
*
i think for now, it's better to just wait and see. CS may not be aware of their current management plan, so whatever they tell us may not be the latest news.

For those getting ready to hunt for other cards, keep in mind, chances are other banks might be revising their benefits eventually too, if they haven't already.

it's just that OCBC started it earlier. then now mbb. couldn't have expected the 5% cash back to last forever.
*
so what do you suggest we do?

I think I have answered this more than 10 times. laugh.gif
Time to update first post if it's still not yet.

Oh! My insider news is they are having second thoughts and any decision will be made later, probably at the last minute. Anyway it is better for Maybank to make an official announcement , so that we can hope for the best.

Good news for those who wait!

I was told that they are still considering whether to :

1) Proceed with the implementation without further changes.
2) To delay the implementation to a later date.
3) To offer an additional category in addition to dining for cashback, possibly petrol or grocery!

Lets do a poll! Who knows their person in charge is reading the thread as well smile.gif

Needless to say, based on the 3 options, it means it will happen sooner or later. I rather sooner and they pick option 3 with additional petrol option. biggrin.gif

later maybank decides to go with the least voted caatogery so that they don't have to give more cashback.

ungoogleable code detected? tongue.gif

actually any additional category also better than just dining. and the least voted (at the moment) = grocery and departmental are both preferred by many too actually. biggrin.gif
*
the intention of the poll is to make Maybank aware of our choice. if they prefer to lose customers by choosing the least preferred option, there is nothing we can do anyway. just cancel it!

Should have one category - Utilities including TNB, Unifi, water etc.

Try not to go beyond what AMEX can do now.

AMEX can't be used to pay water bill.

"Online payment" simply means what AMEX can be used to pay now via online.

I feel WISE covers regular monthly bills much better than this card, and so I prefer petrol. Also because then I don't have to make sure my petrol topup is more than RM50 (WISE paying online can control the RM50 very easily).

yup. that's y I din choose petrol option for wise. hard to gauge.
