well just sharing with your guys, I did call to maybank cs this morning and request to cancel maybank2card and apply for ikhwan platinium. I were told by cs that the conversion can be done thru phone without to fill up any documents or go to the branch.

However, it mean that u have to give up the 2cards and to get the ikhwan card (if u aim for 5% rebate on petrol & groceries on every fridays n saturdays, but only 1tp on rm1 spent). After think twice, i cancelled this conversion request because i have the hlb wise card for this two categories (petrol&groceries), and i mainly use the 2Amex to pay for tnb&tm bills (around rm1.5k)per month. Therefore he advised me to keep the amex and apply the new ikhwan card, but this need to be considered as new card application (dcuments n income proof).

Any better suggestions?

(ps. I often use the tp for airmiles conversion so not really care about 1.25%, still think 2Amex have better airmiles conversion rate if compared to other cards.)

im confused.

so 5% cash back is still available? Or Not?

Yes. Effective August 1st, your weekend cash back will restricted to DINING only instead of everything and still capped at RM 50.

If you can afford it, maybank2 premier card give better conversion.

If I remember correctly, I don't need documents when I applied new card through the card center at 1U (60mins approval) on top of my existing MBB card.

Hi guys

I have 2 cards right now:

1) MasterCard Ikhwan for weekend cashback 5%
2) MU Card for TreatPoints and alcohol purchase which is haram under Islamic card

I need a card that can gimme cashback for
1) Weekday petrol
2) Digi and TNB expenditure.

Mind helping with recommendation? Can be MBB or non-MBB.

Thanks

HLB wise.

I am so 'free' this weekend. I don't have to pay bills. I don't have to fill up petrol. I don't have to buy groceries. I don't have to reload my starbucks card.

So? What is your point then?

The point is..spending pattern and timing has change. Chill uncle.

Then they should say *we have restricted to dining only rather than keeping the old benefits and saying we will introduce like its something new and add on

Means you only have this card? I am busy of keeping track of other ongoing promos for other CCs

I thought the second indented clause spells out clearly?

Yup...going forward no need to plan on spending on weekends anymore.

goodbye to this card, gave me 3 wonderful years of cash back.

Hi, anyone know how to cancel this card without walk in to any maybank physical branch? Plan to cancel 2 card platinum in order to focus on Maybank Signature 50k yearly spending.

If i cancel this 2 card now and few months later maybank announce something good on this card, did i able to request this card again or have to wait after 6 months?

I understanding this 2 card is free for life and no harm continue to hold but too many cards in my wallet really distract my spending habit.

Cannot cancel by calling CS?

You can remove it from your wallet..... the only thing would be increasing your chance of fraud with the card still active.
