the lastest one they totally remove the statement already. so its back to usual? but on the pop up still show as 5% dining only

I really don't like to use debit cards...

actually what BNM doing are pressuring the merchant to lower their price as merchant usually pass the interchange fees back to consumers..
this is a good move from BNM but knowing how businessman doing business in Malaysia, no way they going to lower their price...
implementation of 6% GST on April are a good example..

so indirectly, we get lesser benefit from bank, merchant still selling same price, bank nothing to lose..
consumer are the bigger loser here 

i don't mind if this move by bnm is able to encourage more merchant to enable cc payment. then although we lose on quality (lesser cb percentage) but we earn from quantity (if we are able to use cc at mamak stalls, pasar malam, kopitiam, etc.)

do you think mamak, pasar malam and kopitiam will do it? 
when i go to singapore, i dont see mamak, kopitiam accept cc..
the most are on fast food and some bakery shop..

At least singapore does not have min spending requirement (or i not aware)
Even a meal less than SGD 20 also can pay by CC(Amex some more)

No, this is not true. Tried Nana Green Tea at Plaza Singapura and was told credit card is allowed for a minimum spend is 20 SGD.

Yes, during my recent trip in Germany, I have managed to use AmEx everywhere I went so long they accept credit cards.

I stopped asking after I knew the trend of accepting AmEx. First two shops that I went, I will ask do you accept AmEx and the answer was positive.

which part of germany you went to?
you haven't go into those small shop within housing area where don't even speak english..
then u will be surprise, they dont accept credit card at all...

I just posted below at my facebook page:

WTF is wrong with Maybank, I just got back home and found out from you guys that effective 1st August 2015, the once a upon a time wonderful Maybankard 2 Card AMEX 5% weekend cash back has been downgrade to DINING only!!!

Luckily I did not accept Harimau Bank's offer to be their Credit Card Specialist Head with designated Grade X1 back on 1st April 2015. Or else you guys may assumed that I have something to do with the downgraded benefits of Maybank's  credit cards. If you miss the story and really got nothing better to do, click here to read my April Fools Day article.

Well, 5% cash back for dining not that bad as most of us take our family out on weekends.

So for those of you guys who need a credit card for Petrol and Groceries, the good news is Maybank still have 2 other cards that will give you 5% cash back.

Anyway, those of us who have been holding Maybankard 2 AMEX since 2011, some of you would have earned more than RM2K cash back in the last 4 years 

I think you can convert from your M2C to Ikhwan no?

do you think mamak, pasar malam and kopitiam will do it? 
when i go to singapore, i dont see mamak, kopitiam accept cc..
