But the simplest and fastest method to get the Maybankard 2 Cards is by visiting a Maybankard Centre at 1U, The Gardens or KLCC where your application will be process within few hours (depends on situation). Click here to read Gen-X article on it. Please note, it is Maybankard Centre and NOT Maybank Branch.

If you need further clarifications (e.g. what documents to bring along) on the 1 hour approval at 1U Card Centre, you may contact them at number below. Contact Info contributed by Human Nature.

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:

1. Must read - GST information
2. This is a 2 cards combo - AMEX together with master/visa, you CANNOT cancel the master/visa and activate the AMEX alone.
3. The rebate is calculated according to the CALENDER month and not per your monthly statement cycle.
4. The rebate is usually credited to the AMEX card on the 1st or 2nd of the month.
5. No more GST for Maybankard 2 Cards (both principal and supplements) starting from 01 April 2015.
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 (equivalent to 1.25% max). 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 paypal account to MBB 2 AMEX, it will take 2-3 days before it is shown in M2U.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. To earn the 5% cash back, TRANSACTION DATE shown in M2U or statement must be on weekend (Sat/Sun), posting date does not matter.
20. 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
QUOTE(ronnie @ Oct 29 2011 @ 06:18 PM)

Rule of thumb:
PAYPAL + Amex + RM = no go
PAYPAL + Amex + foreign currency = good to go
PAYPAL + Visa/Master + RM/foreign currency = good to go


For PAYPAL with MBB 2 AMEX to earn 5% cash back (Non RM Transaction Only).

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Feb 27 2014, 10:18 AM)

Of late, every time I use PayPal to pay PayPal merchant, the payment wouldn't go thru. I need to call maybank Amex CS to "unbarred" payment from 1 day up to maximum 1 month in order to proceed with the payment. I asked why need to call CS to make a PayPal payment even though the amount is less than usd10, CS replied this is new security measure.
You guys faced this situation before ?

yeah, i called maybank and they said the same thing, and they say especially for paypal transaction becos paypal very easy kena fraud.

For Booking Your Hotel Room via Agoda.com with Maybankard Visa/MasterCard versus MBB 2 AMEX

http://www.agoda.com/visawedmy It has another promo now for all VISA cardholders if bookings made on Wednesdays.

- 7% for Platinum and Premium Cards
- 5% for Gold and Classic Cards

Confirmed by nuodi on 09/01/2014 and cempedaklife on 22/06/2014: Additional 5% usual cash back for M2 Amex during weekend

QUOTE(nuodi @ Jan 9 2014, 01:20 PM)
Did 2 agoda bookings with amex in the past 2 weeks.
Both transactions captured as weekend transactions... so extra rebate 5% was given.  smile.gif

Perhaps they have changed their system to perform transactions on weekends. Posting date as usual is always late about 3-4 days later, so just be careful if making month end transaction.

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Jun 4 2013, 11:31 PM)
Guys, things have changed with Agoda now. From now on, always choose MYR as your checkout currency as Agoda's rate is now better than ever! And you will save even more if you have MBB2 AMEX. And because your card will be billed in MYR, you do not have to worry about AMEX's high foreign exchange rate! I have just booked a room through the Maybank Agoda promotion landing page, paid with my MBB2 AMEX, got 7% off + about 2.5% (5x TP) + redeemed 12,500 Agoda rewards points (equivalent to USD25). Save myself quite some money.

Using Maybankard 2 AMEX to Pay for Telekom Malaysia ™ Bills including Unifi/Streamyx/multimedia and Tenaga Nasional(TNB)

You can now pay Maxis Mobile, TNB and TM bills through Maybank2U as well rclxm9.gif
Go to Bill Payment > select the bills you want to pay and select from account your Maybankard 2 Amex. If you do not see it, means it cannot be use for that particular bill.

Below info contributed by ck23
QUOTE(ck23 @ Sep 23 2012 @ 10:00 AM)
CALLED TO M2U CALL CENTRE, ANY CREDIT CARD BILL PAYMENT IS LIMITED TO TWO BILLS TO THE SAME PAYEE IN A WEEK TIME. SO AMEX CAN PAY 2 BILLS UNDER SAME CORPORATE PAYEE IN ONE WEEK ONLY. THE 3RD BILLS HAVE TO WAIT NEXT WEEK.

I think there is no other credit card in this section that can go this far. Version 14, my fourth year of using and no complaint except the TP inflation over the years...

If your salary hasn't been increased, then most likely it will be rejected as well.
Well, you can pledge fixed deposit for this card. Someone mentioned it is RM 5k for Gold card.

Yes, the Maybankard 2 AMEX with 5% cash back for any type of transactions is still the best card to have even though Maybank inflated their Treats Points recently.

I get 5% cash back at Ippudo, Baskin Robbins and can even be used for 0% installment plan when buying a Rolex!

Yes, certain authorized Rolex dealers in KL do accept Maybankard 2 AMEX for 0% Installment Plan and you won't be charge a single sen "surcharge" and still entitled to standard discount rate (non-sport models), i.e. you pay cash or use Maybankard 2 AMEX 0% Installment Plan also you pay same price.

If you very free, click here to read my article A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit OF That - Volume I, Chapter VIII where I mentioned I wanted to use my Maybank 2 Cards Premier AMEX to buy a Rolex GMT Batman (because it offer better Enrich Miles conversion of TP versus Maybankard 2 AMEX) but I burst my Maybank CC credit limit (and that's with increase in Temporary CL before even buying the watch) and ended up using my UOB Visa instead, hahaha. But Maybank really good, I ask for another Temporary increase in CL of RM50K around noon and they call me to inform me it was approved at around 6.30pm.

Not only Rolex, you can use Maybankard 2 AMEX to buy GIA diamonds at Wah Chan and Poh Kong with 0% Installment too.

On the contrary, for "substantial sum" purchases, if I have the option of 0% Installment Plan, I will definitely opt for it (or going with 0% Balance Transfer) as I can use the cash and deposit into FD and earn some interest instead of parting with my cash upfront.

Grats on new version..

anyway i have question here,

I want to book hotel room for family vacation (penang)
how to use the AMEX to get the cash back?
should i purchase it on weekend too?

and for the below;

Rule of thumb:
PAYPAL + Amex + RM = no go
PAYPAL + Amex + foreign currency = good to go
PAYPAL + Visa/Master + RM/foreign currency = good to go

I dont understand the above rule of thumb,
lets say i wanna book a hardrock hotel penang, should i go through hardrock hotel penang web to purchase the room or agoda?
i mean to get the cash back.

It doesn't matter whether you book thru agoda or hotel website as long as it is made on a weekend. However, do note that agoda is having a promotion so compare the final price.

One important notice as I just came back from TGV Sunway Piramid

- Thursday buy 1 free 1 - now only accept credit card, no more debit card. Moviegoers can buy Thursday B1F1 tix anyday of the week. (limit to 2 free tix per card. for M2c, then 4 tix if use 2 cards)

- Saturday buy 1 free 1, moviegoers can only buy on Saturday using ONLY Visa card. (free only 1 tix, but somehow I manage to buy as many as I like. hopefully maintain same, smile.gif )

- Sunday buy 1 free 1, same as above, only Sunday.

The Saturday and sunday Buy 1 free 1 is only for May & June promotion. Hopefully they will extend it.

They changed a lot since TGV offer came out on 2014. sad.gif

Me on another hand doesn't like installment and BT. I was "forced" to take installment when Maybank had discount for RM 300 for iPhone 6 last year. The feeling of paying RM 4++ every month for 6 months is not nice. Then I itchy butt went and applied BT and 1k+ every month for 6 months. Finally these two have ended in May and June, now I'm a free girl. Don't want to be tied with this kind of obligation anymore.

In short, just pay statement balance on the date indicated on your M2U, known as payment due date.
Is the latest day to pay the credit card bill (without incurring late payment change) the payment due date? So, it is not a day before the payment due date, right?

If giro from other bank, make sure a day before(business day) or few day earlier if non business day

Hi,

Just want to ask the following questions :
1. If got fraud and we block the card, do we need to pay for that fraud charge?
2. If block, Maybank will issue you a new card?
3. To get cash back for petrol, can it be done at the counter?

After much begging, I did managed to get a "place" at the very last minute for the Maybank EpiCentre event and got the iPhone 6 for RM300 less biggrin.gif However, what you said above is very true, I have mentioned several times before it is not worth the effort to perform BT for amount less than RM10K to go earn miserable interest and be in debt. 0% Installment Plans and Balance Transfer Plans can be a very dangerous tools for those who have no cash on hand to pay in full.

Bro, for my case with my Maybankard 2 AMEX - the moment I received SMS on fraudulent online transactions, I called Maybank Customer Service and they immediately blocked my card and issued me replacement card without me asking them to do so. They will then sent me a Dispute Form where I will need to list the fradulent transaction(s). In the meantime, the amount relating to the fraudulent transaction will be investigated and I do no need to pay for it pending the outcome of the investigation. lAnd after Maybank block that card, I could not pay the Outstanding Balance of the transaction I did perform via M2u doh.gif Click here to read about it and I gave step by step instructions on how to pay the Outstanding Balance via M2U for a blocked card.

Now, your question No.1 is very general. As Human Nature mentioned, banks will investigate. So far I have no problems relating to fraud cases with my MBB, UOB and HLB cards. However, one member did report that CIMB insisted that he pays for a fraudulent online transaction.

General rule of thumb - report any fraud case/suspicious transactions immediately including lost of card. And for Maybank credit cards - you can set the SMS default value to RM1. As such, if there is indeed any fraud case related to your card, there is no reason why you are not aware of it when it happens and not report it.

But the good news is, we are only liable up to RM250, hahahaha. May have to go to court if bank insist we have to pay the full amount tongue.gif

For those of you new to credit cards, below is what I posted back in V8

QUOTE
Bro, I had several fraud cases. Previously before there was sms alert, I only found out about people cloning my card after I got my statement. Now we have sms alert and we will know when a fraud case occurs. That is if the Card issuer allows us to set the default value. Read this thread on SMS alert.

Most banks (not all) allow us to set the sms alert default value to RM1, the banks that allow me to do so are MBB, OCBC, HLB, UOB and Alliance. Citibank can lower the default value to like RM200 or RM250.  MBB the easiest, just call CS and request over the phone. If you have not, do it immediately.

Only once or twice I did not receive sms from MBB for local transaction but other than that I have been receiving sms for my retail (in person) and online transactions with my MBB and UOB cards (my main cards because I get 5X points) even when I am in USA, SG or Australia without fail.

For fraud or cloning of cards, only need to call CS (number behind your card and no other number) no need to do police report. But if your card was stolen or lost first thing is call CS and then go make police report immediately.

As for those unknown/private numbers and numbers you are not familiar you can always answer them BUT never ever release any personal info to them. If they said this and that, just tell them you will call back (number behind the card once again and no other numbers). There have been cases I got call from the bank and they wanted to do verification over the phone but since I am not sure if the call is genuine, I will tell I can't release my info over the phone and said I will call CS and they will understand. And never press redial but always key in the number behind the card when calling CS - this is extremely important and therefore I keep stressing it.

If mobile numbers, maybe I won't be bothered because most probably they are pesky pest HLA agents or scamers. But you see, I have several mobile lines/phones and 99% those scam calls or sms ( i get many ) or HLA agents will call a particular line that I give out to others (say filling up forms/contests, when people ask for my contact number, contact number behind my cheques, etc), so i know it is a scam when a person calls me saying he is from the bank. One time a person said he was from RHB and the number that showed up in my phone is that of RHB CS. I believe my this number is sold to scamers and circulating round and round. For banks, I have a different line that that not many know off and if get a call from a landline on this line I am sure to pick it up.

And sometimes I do get calls from the banks when I make transactions that is out of my normal spending pattern, e.g. at jewelry outlet. The person will identify himself and would verify if I had used the card and that is all and they will never ask for my personal details.

I even got a fraud call claiming that I have Unifi bills outstanding and the number shown is similar to Unifi number at their website but I know it is a scam because my unifi bill is auto debit and I get a thank you sms from Unifi every month. Please visit my facebook account at www.facebook.com/GenXGenYGenZ and read post this post dated 1 September 2013 and 3 May 2013 relating to fraud.

I also suggest you click here and read my article Credit Card Fraud Calls and Bank SMS Alert Default Value where I mentioned about Caller ID Spoofing.
And last but not least - click here to Suspicious Telephone Calls on CC matters Thread or you will regret big time.

Credit card newbie here. Just one question (I've searched but can't find the answer).

Is it worth it to use the credit card for merchants that charge 2% service fee on weekends? Since we get 5% cashback, simplest calculation would mean we can get 3% cashback (5% minus 2% service fee), which is still a plus rather than using cash to pay.

Is that calculation correct? I just want to know if it's better to pay by cash or credit card for merchants that charge 2% fee

After much begging, I did managed to get a "place" at the very last minute for the Maybank EpiCentre event and got the iPhone 6 for RM300 less  biggrin.gif However, what you said above is very true, I have mentioned several times before it is not worth the effort to perform BT for amount less than RM10K to go earn miserable interest and be in debt. 0% Installment Plans and Balance Transfer Plans can be a very dangerous tools for those who have no cash on hand to pay in full.

was at TGV OU yesterday. thought wan to Q at MBB priority lane, but so many people. Q normal lane faster!

Brought the normal price RM16 movie tic instead.
while waiting to charge my Amex, i asked and confirmed with rempit counter boy deal on MBB card.

Everyday RM10 apply to movie before 6pm.
Imax Buy1Free1 on Thursday - the rempit counter boy said its restricted to few front rows seats.  shocking.gif  shocking.gif 
never go Imax before, thus  shocking.gif

Apparently my colleague who is a movie addict told me, yes the RM 10 for front rows only happen in 1U. The rest of TGVs have no such restriction, we have watched few times in KLCC, no issue at all.

I believe what he meant is the merchant charges 2% fees.

And then asking if still worth it to spend at that merchant on weekends.

Doesn't All-IT or someone do something like this?

Yes. Using amex card on weekends for merchants charging 2% fees. Sorry for the confusion.
Asking because my supplement store charges 2% fee (I think it's 2%), and they're open on weekend. So was wondering if I should use the card or pay by cash.

Edit: Just realized they might not even accept amex. In that case, I guess paying by cash is better sad.gif

Here's my case with All-It at Low Yat Plaza -

I bought a ACER V Nitro gaming notebook late last year. For ALL-IT case, if you are getting a Windows notebook, it usually comes with freebies. I opted not to receive the FREE gifts and I was given more than RM100 discount of RRP. Other ACER dealers in Low Yat Plaza was not offering discount but selling at RRP but none have stock anyway since it was in great demand. So the discount was more than enough to offset the extra 2% surcharge for 0% installment plan. If you use AMEX for 0% EPP, I think you'll be imposed 3% instead of 2%.

Click here to read my article about my son's ACER V Nitro i7 12GB NVIDIA GTX860M with Twin blowers

Now, I also did buy a Apple MacBook Air for my daughter in April this year at All-IT, once again opted not to receive any FREE gift and there is no discount for Apple MAcBook Air BUT I was not imposed any surcharge with 0% Installment Plan with my MBB VI.

Anyone else facing problems paying for online items using the Amex card via Paypal on weekends? I've been having this issue the past few months and I'm starting to wonder if it's because of the weekend cash back rebate. I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but in my last call to the call centre, they asked me to not buy stuff on weekends or use the Visa.

I did. To clarify, most of my items are in foreign currency and even calling up their CS sometimes doesn't work. They keep saying there's nothing they can do and I'd have to talk to 3 different reps at times to finally get it unbarred. I'm just wondering why it's so difficult.

FYI, the reason they usually give is that Paypal is not sending them any requests for the transaction or there's a problem with the terminal. Sometimes a few stern calls and requests to talk to the supervisor help but not all the time. This only happens on weekends though.

KLCC no longer issues cards within 60 minutes. If you want to submit forms, yes that's possible because it is also opened during weekends but not for fast card issuance. 1U still has 60 minutes.
When I was in Gardens to redeem vouchers few months ago, I overheard a conversation between the officer and a customer, she told him they will do fast card issuance on weekdays, not sure how true is that.

Then I quickly call CS. They said it's normal coz they capped the max. limit between 200 to 250. Bank will reverse back the amount few days. Does anyone get this kind of Sms b4?

When I use the gold card to pump petrol, I don't get this kind of Sms. Really make me sweat...

Yes, that is normal. Probably your gold card is not set or set at a higher amount for sms alert.

Also, it is normal for the bank to send notification sms for the first swipe of a new card. If you have not set your sms alert, I'd suggest you to set it up and set your trigger amount. It is handy.

Since it was the first time you used the card, maybe that's why you were sent a SMS. Maybank unlike other banks do not have a default value to trigger a SMS to be sent out but based on your spending pattern - unless they have changed it not long ago.

As for Petrol, it is normal to get RM200 SMS if you swipe at the pump terminals.

Anyway, if you have not called CS to set your default value to RM1 to trigger SMS alert, do it immediately.

Went to ALL IT as that time my daughter was considering either a Windows notebook or MacBook Air. Harvey Norman did not have the Windows Notebook she was considering.

Anyway, nowadays I only convert my TP to Enrich to fly Business Class as it gives me "more in returns" compared to vouchers.

Those who are interested to redeem Enrich Miles (or KrisFlyer Miles), please click here to read my Comprehensive Review of The Best Credit Cards for Redeeming Frequent Flyer Miles.

In the above mentioned tutorial, you will learn that with the Maybankard 2 AMEX, you will earn 1 Enrich Mile for every RM2.12 spent. So, for example, if you do spend RM2500 per month with the Maybankard 2 Cards AMEX, within 3 years you would have earned 42,452 Enrich Miles where you can upgrade an Economy Class ticket to London (one way) versus redeeming RM1,125 cash voucher (400TP = RM1). Well upgrade to Business Class to London (12 hours direct) is definitely worth more than RM1.1K. That is if MBB and or Enrich do not inflate their redemption in the future tongue.gif

For your info, Enrich Miles can be used to redeem flights with other airlines under the One World Umbrella.

Yes, nothing. Just standard package.
Gen-X also didn't receive any free gift for MBA purchase from All IT. tongue.gif

All IT did offer me a RM50 voucher for the MacBook Air but I chose not to accept it but instead go with 0% Installment Plan with no additional surcharge using my MBB VI. But if one willing to pay in full for the MBA, he/she might get the FREE RM50 voucher or other Free gift at ALL IT.

The thing with Harvey Norman Windows notebook - I have gotten discount from them twice BUT then cannot opt for 0% installment plan. Can only opt for 0% Installment Plan if pay RRP price.

Possible, I have changed before.
KLCC no longer issues cards within 60 minutes. If you want to submit forms, yes that's possible because it is also opened during weekends but not for fast card issuance. 1U still has 60 minutes.
When I was in Gardens to redeem vouchers few months ago, I overheard a conversation between the officer and a customer, she told him they will do fast card issuance on weekdays, not sure how true is that.

Thanks. Meaning only 1U have fast card issuance and it can only be done in weekdays right?

Weekday (but not Friday) at 12pm. I don't think MBB is promoting the "get your card within 60 minutes" thing anymore anyway. It's not mentioned on their website and the staff at the card centre that handled my application said that it would take more than an hour. The videos on the TV screen outside the card centre still has it though doh.gif

The visa wednesday promotion on agoda still on? not until 10 June?

I presumed the scenario below to get max cash back:

Accommodation <RM250 = Book through milkadeal agoda(Rm25)+ amex weekend(5% cashback)[Need to book every night to get max cashback for milk a deal as RM25 per transaction, I hope the hotel guy wont kill me XD]

Accommodation >RM250 = Book through Visa Wed to get 10% cashback

Did I miss anythings?

I have sudden thought, can we use the combination of milkadeal agoda(rm25)+ visa wed(10% cashback)?

Ok Thx...

If visawed still available.. I believe accommodation more than rm250 should use that compare to shop back/milkadeal since they only offer rm25 per transaction max which is equivalent to 10% cashback only... Correct me if I am wrong.. =)

yes, provided your >rm250 you mean is per room per night? i thought it consists of more. if just one room and one night, then you use visawed better.

just share the hotel booking wif you.

if the hotel price at airasiago is good, you can booked it using amex and entitled 5 percent in weekend, beside u can use this promo code rhbaagjune to get 10 percent discount through milkadeal link when you check out. furthermore, i get rebate from milkadeal in two days times without pending. the onli thing is onli 8 percent is rebate.

after i count the rebate between agoda/ booking.com(rm25 per booking) and airasiago(8percent discount, 10percent with promo code rhbaagjune, don need to spread booking), the airasiago can gain more rebate. i have done airasiago booking last week.

Cant, fruitie applied through card centre as well by showing documents of salary slip to show salary achieved requirements. Normally will take 1 week to get the card provided all documents are in order.

Instant card approval at places like 1 Utama credit card center is possible.
Basically there is an automated algorithm in their system that can advise approval (or otherwise) within seconds.

Likewise on how I got my RHB card on a Sunday within 20 minutes.

I am agreed that u can do it for RHB CC.

But, if maybank have the system to approve the CC without human to approve, why only 1U have it and not other card center (like the card center at garden)?

15-Apr-2014 (Tue) - Went to Maybankard Centre, The Gardens (after 7pm)
18-Apr-2014 (Fri) - Platinum cards listed in M2U (unactivated)
23-Apr-2014 (Wed) - Received Platinum cards via PosLaju.

All in all, 6 working day (excluding 15-Apr since it was already after 7pm).

Have anyone tried upgrading M2C Amex gold to platinum via credit card center?
Can get it within a same working day?

Or is it advisable to just call CS and apply through this method?
fruitie i remember you upgraded yours right?
*
definitely not same-day smile.gif expect 1 week. need to walk-in cuz they need you to submit documents and fill up forms (for me, at least). treat it like a new application, although it's an upgrade.

I am agreed that u can do it for RHB CC.

But, if maybank have the system to approve the CC without human to approve, why only 1U have it and not other card center (like the card center at garden)?
*
approval might not be the problem sometimes..
issuance of card is the problem.. card embossing machine not cheap and not cost effective to put at every branch..
if you not aware, issuance of card are done by third party company and not handle by bank itself smile.gif

all the cc issued by RHB are done by themselves? or only certain type of card just like MBB?
even they embossed the card themselves, the card are from third party..
you can check where the card from if you look for the code behind the card.. smile.gif

Put it simple, KLCC RHB and Maybank 1U have the embossing machine. They can emboss on the spot. Once my RHB card was approved, she immediately went into a room and requested her staff to make me one. Within 5 minutes I have already. laugh.gif

Even I think KLCC Maybank has too because they used to issue within an hour too. The machine is still there actually. For my upgrade case, Maybank CS called me that my card is already approved, within half and hour I received call from KLCC branch that it is ready for collection. I went there and collected on the same day, I asked and they said they have the machine there.

Hi guys, probably not the right thread but since it does concern Maybank, just have a question.

Is it true that there is a promo going on now where Maybank is giving out free Visa/Mastercard + American Express CC?
I got a call from them (03-22046688) earlier this morning regarding this. It sounded like a scam, but then again I had no CC with Maybank nor did the person asked me anything regarding of my bank acc. no.
Only said I was eligible for the promo.

Called Maybank customer service and they did say that there is a promo like that going on right now, but they cannot confirm the number as it is a telesales line or something?

Any info regarding this will be appreciated.

Yes my salary goes into my bank account.

The person actually already knows my IC no., name, and home address though. I did not give any info regarding my bank a.c no.
Maybank customer service said that it is quite possibly from their telesales department. But has anyone here received a call-in promo like that recently?

So, safe to say the call was legit then?

Did do a search on this number 03-60246688 and results are like 50/50. Some say legit, some say it's scam. So scam and legit promos from the same number... hmm.gif

Thanks for the info. notworthy.gif

Thing is, I don't really need the card. I know it's free annual fee and GST, buy already have 3 CC, don't need another 2 more. So was just curious to know if the call was legit or not, whether my info has fallen to the wrong hands.

back to the main point which is 'know you spending pattern' and then choose the credit cards that can maximise cash rebates from your necessary spending.

just share the hotel booking wif you.

if the hotel price at airasiago is good, you can booked it using amex and entitled 5 percent in weekend, beside u can use this promo code rhbaagjune to get 10 percent discount through milkadeal link when you check out. furthermore, i get rebate from milkadeal in two days times without pending. the onli thing is onli 8 percent is rebate.

after i count the rebate between agoda/ booking.com(rm25 per booking) and airasiago(8percent discount, 10percent with promo code rhbaagjune, don need to spread booking), the airasiago can gain more rebate. i have done airasiago  booking last week.
*
Er, I quite confuse about your statement. Ur promo code "rhbaagjune" is use in milkadeal or airasiago? If the 10% promocode is for milkadeal, when shall I enter it? during agoda payment page?

and what is the 8% rebate? Is it for under airasiago? hmm.gif

Called Maybank customer service and they did say that there is a promo like that going on right now, but they cannot confirm the number as it is a telesales line or something?

Any info regarding this will be appreciated.

Bro, that is not promo..that is pre-approve card offer to you..If you want just accept it, they will issue it for you, you need not to do anything. You can request them send the card to nearest branch or mailing address.
I had received maybank pre approve card call since 8 years ago, that time was mbb visa classic card when i just worked for 8 months, salary auto credit into mbb accts ,

Er, I quite confuse about your statement. Ur promo code "rhbaagjune" is use in milkadeal or airasiago? If the 10% promocode is for milkadeal, when shall I enter it? during agoda payment page?

and what is the 8% rebate? Is it for under airasiago?  hmm.gif
*
that rhbaagjune promo code is 10% use in airasiago. milkadeal gives 8% for airasiago booking. means you get 10%+8% rebate. do your own calculation whether agoda gives you more or airasiago.

One important notice as I just came back from TGV Sunway Piramid

- Thursday buy 1 free 1 - now only accept credit card, no more debit card. Moviegoers can buy Thursday B1F1 tix anyday of the week. (limit to 2 free tix per card. for M2c, then 4 tix if use 2 cards)

- Saturday buy 1 free 1, moviegoers can only buy on Saturday using ONLY Visa card. (free only 1 tix, but somehow I manage to buy as many as I like. hopefully maintain same, smile.gif )

- Sunday buy 1 free 1, same as above, only Sunday.

The Saturday and sunday Buy 1 free 1 is only for May & June promotion. Hopefully they will extend it.

They changed a lot since TGV offer came out on 2014. sad.gif

My understanding of this promo is:
Nope you can't. You can go tonight or even tomorrow night to buy 2 tickets and get another 2 for free for movie shown on THURSDAY any time (including midnight, e.g. Friday 12.10am). I have tried this myself.

For weekend promo, you can only buy the tickets on the day you want to watch the movie.

Thanks for the info. They did ask me for my mother's maiden name too though.

You mentioned 8 months of salary, but it's only been 1 month since I started moving all my salary pay to my MBB acc. Previously was CIMB.

EDIT : I think everyone is confuse, Monday buy for Thursday can B1F1, Thursday buy for Thursday can B1F1

But Monday buy for Monday Tuesday Wednesday Friday cannot B1F1

Saturday B1F1 have to buy on Saturday only. Same goes with Sunday.

Yup! Or change your plan to watch on a Thursday instead smile.gif

Bear in mind that this weekend is the last weekend that MBB visa CC holders can B1F1 since it is only for April, May & June 2015, unless it extend.

Hi kinabalu, I think we are in the same page now. Previously MGM was asking he can buy on Thursday for Saturday's show, which he can't, as TGV weekend promo for MBB Visa CC holders doesn't allow advance ticketing. You may refer here@maybank or here@TGV for the details.

As for Thursday B1F1, you may purchase in advance as long as the show is on a Thursday.
QUOTE
Advance purchase is allowed e.g Purchase tickets on Monday for movie on Thursday
You may refer here@TGV for more info.

You dump 10k also can get already.

If you dump 60, you can get 1 Platinum gold card and 1 Visa Infinite (30k) or 1 Visa Signature (20k).

Many asked about visa signature, but none is confirm with answer.
Maybank seems hard to offer any waiver for fee and service tax (last time).
Have to wait for first forumer to report the actual experience.

You need to pledge an FD of 25k at their base rate instead of any promotional rates available currently.

Pledging FD means you will be bounded with 12 months at least with the bank and it will take 90 days to get back your pledged amount from the bank.

Just go to any major branch and tell them that.

I went to KLCC and they confirmed to me twice, 20k can get a Visa Signatures already.

Maybe next time you should specify which card you want, because last time I put in such amount, they asked me specifically what card I want.

As for the annual fee, Maybank are not that generous. But you may have better luck compared to me.

No.

You'll need to give them the physical copy of the FD slip.

Branch will keep it until the day you want to redeem the FD back from them.

Is it possible to say apply Maybank 2 primer (free for 1 year).
After 1 year, cancel the card, apply again 1 month later to get 1 year free again?

That way, don't need to pay yearly fees.

If all else fails, complaint at their FB.

Is it possible to say apply Maybank 2 primer (free for 1 year).
After 1 year, cancel the card, apply again 1 month later to get 1 year free again?

That way, don't need to pay yearly fees.

After you cancel, got 6 months cool down period before you can reapply again.

And you can only do it once probably. Next time you try it again, bank would probably know your trick and won't approve the card for you? laugh.gif

I mentioned but I have never done it.
My cards were pre-approved 4 years ago and my card upgrade went through the normal process in KLCC branch.
Card upgrade cannot get within 60 minutes and KLCC no longer has this facility.

KLCC apparently have the 60 minutes approval.

Just that their machine went outta commission and they moved it to somewhere for servicing.

The girl inside told me once they get back the machine, 60 minutes services are back in order.

But VS's annual fee of RM 588.00 + 6% GST seems a certainty nowadays.

So far, 2 of my friend failed to waive it despite having reached the minimum spending target.

Or maybe their luck ain't good enough laugh.gif

VS' annual fees is RM 550 (excludes GST) and also what did you mean by minimum spending target?
There is no minimum spending target.
Spend RM 50k per annum and it will be auto-waived or if doesn't reach RM 50k then nothing.

That's all. That simple.

Pickup at branch in Kuantan because no one's home to receive delivery. I'm guessing it'll take a while for it to arrive in Kuantan too?

OT: Outrage over food wastage in hotels

KUALA LUMPUR: It’s barely a week into Ramadan but the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia have already received 45 complaints of food wastage during buka puasa.

Its president Datuk Nadzim Johan said that the government should set up an “exchange centre for food”. He added that food wastage is a worrying trend and that it normally occurred within the hotel industry.

“This happens every year. The buffet spreads prepared by hotels were huge. Food was left unfinished by consumers while about half of the dishes at the buffet table were untouched.

The best is to use AMEX at anywhere on anything. You'll get 5% cash rebate + 5x TP. The highest reward!

For the Visa/MC, you can basically toss it aside in your drawer.

In my experience takes a bit of time. Not that I so hardworking to check immediately. Just rely on the SMS (set your threshold to RM1). Unless you're purchasing games which are cheaper than that.... in which case no worries right?

If from Merchant, no way to early settle.

If from Maybank, call in and email their card center and ask for early settlement.

If the installment is done via a phone call to MBB, they already charged the full interest to you.

So if you early settle, how also no different to them.

Or at least, when I did it, they just ask me to email and send me a statement with total amount due to MBB.

You are definitely right.

Pray hard that it's only applicable to new card application only.

If really they removed this rebate, they will from the best card to one of the most useless card!

yes, there are few ways.

m2u sites are load-balanced across few servers, hence some refreshed, some not.

This scenario reminds me of ocbc titanium. 5% gone, left 1 % via TPs. Then in the future, 1st RM1k spending get 1% and thereafter 0.1% cry.gif

they cut the benefits for PPL visits - for VS, VI

Here's my plan. Will use up all RM50 quota for July to accumulate the lowest TP to redeem voucher. Then put in cold storage and apply Ikhwan as consolation. Cant cut as having 3 years ezypay with them doh.gif

that's the standard 21-day advance notice for all banks smile.gif

since it's for August, still good to load some overpayment for some bills (e.g. Unifi) and Max out the cashback (for those who doesn't always hit RM50/mth.

ikhwan MasterCard not benefit for unifi anyway, urghhh mad.gif

since it comes without AF, just keep it lor.

like prasys shared, mbb @twitter mentioned 5% applies to Dining only. yet the website info is very very general, and bound the change from time-to-time.


just keep it until aug/sep and review what are the final feature for the amex. who knows, they might introduce other features or new cards, etc.

Damn just applied during Maybank treats fair. Now it's going to be useless. Redemption point increased, no more cashback. What's the purpose.

First OCBC then UOB and now Maybank.

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.

Hi all,

Need to seek advise, I just received my maybank card but wanted to understand about the Amex cash rebate.

Since the cash rebate is only on sat and sunday, can I make my monthly (online) payment of TNB bill, unifi bill, insurance (Great Eastern) and maintenance bill on the weekend and get the rebate?

basically merchant pay banks a fee to use their credit card terminal for transaction. (there's also interbank fees where let's say u swipe ocbc card on mbb terminal, there is a fee that ocbc pay maybank or vice versa, something like that)
this is why sometimes we get 2% charge when paying by cc, because merchant pass this fee to consumer.
the collection of this fees in turn was used by the bank as benefits to cardholders (ie cash bank, treatpoints, contest)
these fees get higher as banks offer more benefit, in turn, merchant will charge goods higher price for cc payment.

BNM wants to encourage cashless payment, so they enforced a ceiling price for these fees.
banks get lower collection from these fees, in turn, less benefit for cardholders.

there is a long article for this, but this is my understanding of it. someone correct me if i am wrong please.

As I have mentioned, due to BNM Credit card framework, AMEX interchange fee will drop to 1% from 3% previously from 01 July. That is, the bank income from AMEX card trnx will drop 3 fold. So naturally , it is true that BNM framework did affect us card users .

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 doh.gif

Yes exactly. This is already proven to be true when we see our petrol price reducing but yet everyday item and costs still remains at the price when petrol was at its highest. Why does BNM think it's going to be any different with all these retail merchants.

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  doh.gif

since the interchange fee is capped at 1.1% currently, how come the computer shop, electrical shop still want to charge me extra 2.5% when i want to pay by credit card hmm.gif doh.gif mad.gif vmad.gif

my point of view is that BNM is trying to discourage you to bring cash out, and use debit card instead.

i think banks do this as a knee jerk reaction to protect their profits first.

in the long run, they will start to introduce new benefits as they face competition from other banks when cashless payment become widely available.

for me... pop up shows only dinner gets rebate but the next main page, the 1st August comment is gone. Opened in new browser same as well. Its no more seen.

Update: I keep refreshing. I still see it a couple of times. Either MBB is revising it, or some server load balancing/cache stuff.

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.)

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.

Click the link below to read my review of the FREE FOR LIFE Maybank Islamic MasterCard Ikhwan Platinum or Gold:

http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/2014/10...ard-ikhwan.html

and if you need FREE access to Plaza Premium Lounge (also please refer to my earlier post below), check out my review of the Maybank Visa Signature where the annual fee is auto waived with RM30K spending:

http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/2014/07...re-another.html

You might also now want to consider AEON Watami Visa Credit Card that will earn you 3% cash back for any transactions subject to terms and conditions. Click the link below to learn more:

http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/2013/11...-card-that.html


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  biggrin.gif

Pls correct that VS Annual Fee waived if spend a min of RM50,000 and above per annum instead of RM30,000

Bad move MBB. Bad move. I hardly dine outside nowadays. No more reason to keep AMEX already.

Just use UOB one card for petrol, Maybank Islamic MasterCard Ikhwan for groceries, AEON Watami for bills.

I'd say quite a lot will terminate, esp those earning below 36k pa, who is subjected to the two issuer ruling , who wants to maximize return from their 2 cards, now that this card will not be able to fulfill that.

Well if you look at it this way, if 10000 people quit, and this 10000 people usually get cash back of RM600/year, Maybank is "getting profit" of RM6,000,000/year.

Reason for me to cancel this card:

1. Lowest CL sad.gif
2. Remove headache to think if that particular merchant accepts AMEX rclxm9.gif
